The Day That Changed My Life

As I stepped into the mud room to take off my bright pink rainboots, I knew something was not normal. As I glided onto the sleek wood floors to grab a crunchy after-school snack, I hear my mom descend down the carpeted stairs slowly, becoming aware that this will not be a normal “how was your day at school” conversation. I raced to the cabinet to grab my fix of Goldfish and I sat down on the floor to get a little snuggle time with my dog before my world was turned upside-down.

This essay is based on an event that changed my life forever. It is a passage that is mixed with feelings and emotions. This experience gave my life a purpose and a sense of direction. It allowed me to grow from a boy to a man in just one day.

The year was 2016, and I was turning 16. In my mind I knew this would be a pivotal year for me. I had plans to obtain my driver’s license, and to gain independence. What I didn't know was that my life was going to be impacted drastically.

“ Sure mom,” I answer. I came down the step with my heart beating like crazy. I reached the last step,I took a deep breath and I walked into the living room where my Mother and Father was there waiting.

My mom call me to the kitchen. I rushed down stairs as if I was a cheetah trying to catch my prey. I kissed my mom on the cheek ten times and said thank you, thank you, thank you. I ran outside. I layed on the grass thinking what would happen the next day, but my thoughts went away

I could feel the excitement fluttering inside of me. The last of summer was drifting away, but I was still wearing one of my favorite sundresses. It made me feel like a princess, as did most things at 10 years old. I was preparing the snacks for the upcoming movie night I was going to have with my mom. This was a frequent pastime of ours that became an event to look forward to after a week at middle school, which consisted of rowdy kids and the smell of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Pop! Pop! Pop! The aroma of butter from the microwave fueled my enthusiasm further. I grabbed the steaming bowl and leaped to my mother’s master bedroom. I had insisted we watch our movie in her room, since her king sized bed and looming TV screen

So it began. She had me pose in front of the red and yellow flowers that sat on the old, brown table, just outside our front door. The pristine white of the railing glowed to my right. I was wearing the closest thing my mom could get to a school uniform. It was an ill-fitting, plaid-blue dress over about three white shirts, the outermost of which had long, hot sleeves. I hated how the awkward dress felt scratchy on my legs and how my stockings were far too tight. My frizzy, brown hair tickled my neck. I hated that I felt every layer of fabric as it pushed the dress out. I could tell it made me look like a blueberry. I just knew

It was a sunny morning in California,it was also my 15th birthday.I got out of bed and did my morning routine. I opened my closet to chose what I should where today, I found a dress that was white until your stomach and then was purple with a flow free bottom.I matched some white flats with my dress and headed downstairs.I greeted my mom “Good morning mom.” I noticed that dad was nowhere near by. “Mom where's dad ?” “ Honey something urgent came up so your dad had to step out.How about we get some breakfast from dunkin.” I nodded my head so we stepped out the house.When we arrived I ordered a glazed donut,mom got herself a chocolate sprinkle donut and got dad a pumpkin spice donut.We finished up eating and headed home.

The date was October 1st, 2012. Rain poured down in addition to the heavy wind on this dreary Monday morning, and I had awoken rather later than usual. Finding it perplexing that my mom did not awake me for school as she so ordinarily did, I disregarded it and went on with daily my wakeup routine. As I hurried into my living room fifteen minutes later, the expressionless look on my mother’s face told me that from here on out, my life was going to be changed forever.

An accident last year changed my attitude towards life . That accident had a great impact on me , it taught me to treasure what i have and to treasure those people around me more . Although the accident was not life threatening , it was still the scariest thing i had ever been through in life . It was an accident that no one would have expected and wanted it to happen .

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.

What Was The Day That Changed Our Lives?It was on a Tuesday morning September 11, 2001 other wise known as 9-11. That was a terrible day for everyone, there were thousands of lives lost due to an attack by Islamic Terrorists group Al-Qaeda. Throughout my essay I’m going to discuss more on what happened on this day.

June 8th, 2008 was the day my whole life turned upside down. It was a hot and humid Sunday afternoon. My blond, curly headed six year old self was taking a nap on the couch in our living room with a huge window that looked out over our front yard. I used to love to stand at that window during the summer and look at the bustling neighborhood. My mom and little sister were taking a walk around the neighborhood, while my dad was in our garage tinkering with something.

Everyone has their moments. The ones that are happy, sad and ones you’ll never forget no matter how hard you try. The most important day of my life was my high school graduation. I had many emotions, the place wasn’t very welcoming, but the overall experience was great. I’d do it all over again.
