The Moment That Changed My Life

It was a beautiful, cool July morning in the mountains of Colorado; the birds were chirping and the leaves on the trees were rustling. I could almost taste the bacon sizzling on the stovetop as my mother made breakfast. Nothing could ruin a perfect morning like this… At least that’s what I thought. Interrupting the cooking of breakfast, my mom’s cell phone strangely began to ring; there hadn’t been many people trying to contact my mom since she was on vacation. However, my mom ran to answer the call. “Oh, it’s your sister,” I heard my mom say. Although I was in a different room, I could hear the concern and worry in my mother’s voice moments after she answered the phone. Instantaneously, my heart began to race. I began feeling sick to my stomach

This essay is about an accident that happened to me last year, and how did it changed my entire life.

It was the twelfth of September, the leaves were quietly falling off the trees, and the sky was a gloomy shade of gray. Although I was doing the dishes, on my mother's order, I was secretly attempting to get her to sit down, relax, and let me ask her a few questions. My mother is a very busy woman, she does all kinds of things to make the world a better place, for her loving family, and even for the people she doesn’t know. All she could suspect then, is that I mysteriously listened to her directions without arguing. After finishing the dishes, I rushed towards her before she could start something else, I asked her if she could allow me to interview her. Without hesitation, she replied,” Sure, of course you can interview

Then, my mom had just arrived from work, at Banner Gateway as a microbiologist, and a future Physician Assistant. Since she had just come home, she was extremely exhausted after working from 7:00 p.m to 6:00 a.m, so she went straight to sleep. After the most amazing breakfast ever, my dad, little sister and I left the house at 7:53 a.m, as I remember exactly. Everything was perfectly normal, until my dad got a call. We still hadn’t left our neighborhood when my aunt had ever so mysteriously called my dad screaming over the cell phone. After hearing this, I knew something really terrible happened and would effect my family forever. I wasn’t sure what happened, but I was willing to figure it all out. My aunt lived in the same neighborhood as my family, so we turned the car around and zoomed towards her house as fast as we could. As my father opened his door and hustled out of the car, I had

This is not simply an autobiography. This is a narrative centralized around my yesterdays and the effects the choices of my past have had on my todays and tomorrows. This is a literary progression encompassing the results of fifteen years of life, and a celebration of the possible outcomes of many more to come. This is a tale of failure and the immense growth that resulted in recuperation. This is my story, how I learned to carve my own path, to not be simplistic, to withstand conforming to the binding standards of society, and to be the definition of excellence. This is an account of my life, so far as I can recall it.

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 .

It was one life-changing experience I was seven years old when I became grateful for the things that I had. I remember packing for this big trip my parents were planning for a year now. I precisely recall my mother telling me to go through my closet and pick clothes I did not use to give away, I didn't know why, but I didn't ask, I just did it. As the day got closer I remember my parents had accumulated a great amount of things to give away. I quite didn't understand why they were gathering so many things and for what reason.

If someone were to ask me for the most significant turning point in my life, I wish I can say that it is something as dreamy as a romantic proposal, getting married, getting promoted to my dream job, or something more magical. Instead, my most relevant answer to that question is migrating. Since I was six years of age, just when my father passed away, my mother has been preparing my sisters and me to relocate to the United States. In a prompt by Bettelheim, I once read, "As Piaget has shown, the child's thinking remains animistic until the age of puberty" (319). In my case, moving was something I have been aware of for most of my growing years, and admittedly, something I have always anticipated. Because truthfully, as an Asian kid living

Priorities. The ambivalent, nebulous pecking order that exerts reasonable control over each and every one of our lives. Their complex meaning combined with their personalization make them one of the things that can help define the humanistic self-concept. People tend to attach themselves to the very idea of their priorities, fearing they might lose a part of themselves if they were to change the list. Personally, I was that same way. I never in my wildest dreams thought mine would ever change very much. Swimming would always come first, followed by academics, then my obligations to family, friends and God, and lastly everything else fell beyond that, seemingly insignificant. However, one event, and the ripple effect from it, would change this thinking forever: the day my asthma started.

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.

In this essay you had the option to choose a life event that has changed you. But I chose to give a list of events that has made me who I am instead of just one event that changed a little part about me. This essay will show what has happened in my life for me to be the way I am to this day. This is me.

An accident can happen to anyone at any time. It is so unusual and it happens because of our unwillingness and careless. I have heard news about people getting car accident in radio and TV. But this time I have experienced a nightmare incident in my life. I feel that everything happens for a reason .This is why my life has changed into a different one. Our life is designed in such a way that we have to learn various information as we grow up and we will learn by doing certain mistakes. Accident can amend your life in numerous manner: Realization of several mistakes, beginning of new sort of life, and lowers the level of quality of life.

It was a bone chilling January night; my mom received a call at about 11:15 PM, a call that changed my life forever. My Aunt June was on the other line. She was crying so hard my mother could barely understand her. Through the sobbing my mom finally understood that Brian, my cousin, had been in a horrible accident and she didn’t know how bad it was. My mother jumped out of the bed after she hung up the phone. She screamed up the stairs at my sister and me; it was a nerve shrilling scream. I could hear fear in her voice. My mom was always yelling at us growing up if we forgot to do something. She would even get us out of bed to finish something that wasn’t done completely. This particular

Throughout my life, I’ve had many turning points, whether it’s something I could control or not. Sometimes, the decision you make can cause a turning point in your life. Whether it is a good or bad decision, it’s something you have to live with. Many times, in my life I’ve made the wrong decision, but I’ve also made many good decisions that have made my life better. The biggest turning point in my life was because of a decision I made mostly on my own.
