Significant Life Events

2.1 Evaluate the effectiveness of organizational policies and procedures in supporting individuals and their social networks affected by significant life events

It was near the end of my 8th grade school year, about 2 month away from graduation, when something I never expected to happen actually happened. This event really changed my life forever and shaped me into who I am as a person today. I had just arrived at my house after school when my parents received a call that my grandma was ill and that we should come down to check on her. As we rushed down to my grandparents house, my family was deeply concerned about what may have happened because my grandma had never really had many health issues before this. As we arrived at their house and walked through the door, we were greeted with the sight of my grandma sitting in a chair with a blanket around her while she was sleeping. My family’s first reaction

What I consider to be the single most important event of my life occurred in November. That was the day my very non-typical baby brother came into my life and forever changed my view. My brother Russ is a crucial part of my being and in many ways has helped to shape my life. Russ began life with almost complete deafness and remained in his silent world until the age of three. He has also been diagnosed with an Attention Deficit Disorder, Visual Perception Deficiencies, and motor skill weaknesses. Russ required additional assistance in even the simplest activities as he struggled daily to master age appropriate skills. His disabilities have greatly influenced my role as an older sibling. Russ has definitely taught

There has been many important events that have occurred since I have been born but there is one in particular that has sparked a light in me that has changed the way i have looked at things. It happened when I was playing with the Sacramento FC and everything was going well until the middle of the season. When we got to the middle of the season things started to look shady. I wasn't getting playing time and that really opened my eyes to reality. Soccer was not the only thing that I needed to do in order to have a good life. I needed to start focusing on my dreams and different routes to success other then just soccer. It really showed what I need to do in order to survive in the real world. If it was not for my family's support through this

As soon as we are born it seems like our lives are filled with many moments and events in our lives in which they could be considered good or bad memories for us. But our lives are definitely filled with many beautiful normative life events, in which they may be considered “normal” or very common in everyone else 's life as well, but they could have a special meaning to us even if it is considered a normative life event. On the other hand, we all will face some type of idiosyncratic life events, which are events that catch us off guard and are not expected or common to happen to many people during their lifespan. One example of a normative life event that meant a lot to me was when, I graduated from High School. When I graduated from

My life events are something that impacted my life a lot. The most impactful is the birth of my little brother. Before he was born I had 3 sisters and that was it. Now I have 3 sisters and a red headed little brother. His birthday is February 15, 2015 and he is know 19 months old and this month was his first time on an airplane.

Throughout the momentous storyline of To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch, father of Scout and her brother Jem, establishes himself as an honorable and eloquent individual. As a result of living a long life with plentiful escapades, he has gained a vast amount of knowledge that is passed on to his children at various points in the story. This makes it a very valuable book that is full of significant life lessons. One of these precious statements is, “You never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them.” I find this quote to be accurate, solely for the reason that no human can completely understand and relate to any other unless they have an encounter with the experiences and occurrences that those who are different

It’s all start when my sister and I went to Watson. While I’m doing window shopping, my sister went to buy some stuff. Accidently, in a glance, I saw my sister at the health section. In consciously, I went to her with full of questions, and asked her ‘are you sick?’ Then she turned back to me and answered my question with a question, ‘is this good?’

For this assignment I had some difficulty picking a composer because I mostly listen to rock music, although in my daily life I hear some classical music in movies, on the radio, and sometimes even in places I wouldn’t expect like the doctor’s office or in a department store. Classical music of the Romantic Era (1800 to 1850) can sound both beautiful and saddening at the same time to reflect a certain emotion or feeling the composer had at that moment. The Romantic Era is known as a time of liberation and radicalism, along with emotions such as apprehension, horror and terror, and awe or wonder. I believe the Romantic Era had a great impact on

Life seems to take many twists and turns that somehow mesh into each other to form a chaotic knot of happenings. All of these occurrences are supposed to shape you into a wiser more experienced person. Many people can even pin point the exact moment in their life which was forever changed by a single event. When that event happens it becomes an unforgettable memory for you and teaches you a lesson that becomes one of the basic guidelines in your life. The event that forever changed me and was most significant to me was when I decided what I planned on doing for the rest of my life; choosing my major. I knew exactly what I would plan on doing my

Life changing events can sometimes be difficult. In the stories “I Never Had it Made,” By Jackie Robinson Warriors Don’t Cry By Melba Patillo Beals and “The Father of Chinese Aviation.” By Rebecca Maskel. Melba Beals, Jackie Robinson, and Feng Ru all experienced life changing events that impacted their lives. If you did not know these people went through danger to break segregation. Melba Beals and Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier by playing on a white ball team and going to a white school as blacks.

career again, and a significant life event in my life was also when I had a baby in 2014. Although, I have many life events in the past, when I had a baby and became a mother significantly shaped my life because his presence in my life made me more focused on nursing degree. But, I was not comfortable telling this to my husband. I can compare this part of my life to Walter Hansen in the “The Undeclared Major” by Will Weaver. Walter did not know what he wants his major to be, so he was keep changing his major, when he finally decides to be an English Major, he was scared to tell his father ().

A life-changing event is not something to be taken lightly. Throughout our lives, we encounter many obstacles and changes, some of which bring us joy and excitement, others of which may be hard for us to handle. When I look back on my relatively short life, it may, at first, be hard for me to think of an event that has truly molded and shaped the person that I am today. I have encountered several changes, but at the time, they felt like mere speed bumps along my path. Looking back now, it is easy for me to see that these changes were not by chance, but were placed in my path to form the person that I am today.

There are many different life changing events that can change your life. Sometimes things happen in people’s life and they can’t do anything about it. Changes can be good and sometimes it can be a terrible thing that results in a positive turn in one’s life. Change is a part of life that no one looks forward to. Everyone’s life changes at some point. Life is full of many unexpected challenges that will be thrown in your face at any place and any time. People learn and grow from every experience that they go through in life. Some of the events that have changed my life was losing my grandmother, graduation, and going to college. Changes come almost every day in my life.

     The most important event in my life, didn’t even happen to myself, but happened to my older sister, Becky. The reason I am writing about her is because the things that have happened to her and the things she has done in the past have affected me tremendously as well as my family. Her life used to be filled with nothing else but drugs, stealing, and lying. My family has never been the same since then.
