Projeto Tamar was an incredible life time moment, getting to do extraordinary things you don't do everyday like going zip lining, seeing turtles and most of all going on a trip with your friends and schoolmates without your parents.
One hot and sunny day my parents, little brother, and I wanted to get out of the house. So we decided to got to the park and play on the playground. It was so hot outside that we were sweating just from standing but it was a great day. Not only was it was a great day but it was also a great day because it was the day I was going to ask my parents if we could get a dog. I was so excited to ask that I was getting goosebumps. I began to walk towards my parents and when I reached them I asked the question.” Can we get a dog please?” Both my mama and dad looked at each other and said one day we will be able to. It wasn’t a yes but it wasn’t a no, so I knew that there was a chance that I could get one.
My family and I, went for leisure to New York for a period of 5 days, in July of 2016. I had never been in New York before, but the day we arrived, on a warm afternoon, I found it beautiful, fulfilling and diverse. I had never seen a place so unique as this one before.
The long awaited day of this year in my life, first day of university, was quite exciting and somewhat surprising. I have always been an introvert my whole teenage years which made the idea of having to make new friends and fitting in a whole different environment intimidate me. But I believe that university years should be the best years of anyone’s lives, and the years of learning new things through experiences. That day, I met new people who are now my closest friends whom I genuinely enjoy being around. Surprisingly, trying to adapt to a new surrounding was not as awkward as I speculated it to be. This whole time, it was all just in my head. I guess Steve Maraboli was right, “Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it.”. Ever since then, I told myself that I needed to start seeing things in a different perspective in order to maximize my potential in university, socially as well as academically.
7 years ago, my grandpa was alive and well, but 3 weeks went by and my mother explained to me that he had cancer. We went over to my grandpa's house to see him there he was sitting in the chair with a surgical mask this is when I realized he was sick. My mother was sobbing every night almost as if he had died I walked in there and I asked, 'are you okay?' She responded with yes, go to bed its getting late. Another few weeks went by and in this time, went to visit a few times my cousins, aunts, uncles, were all there. This was the last time I spoke to my grandfather, later that night my mom was crying extra hard and I was wondering what was wrong at the time I couldn’t think of what was wrong with my mom. This is when my dad told me that he had passed away I remember him saying that we need to love my mom and show that we care about her. My mom soon left to my grandmother's house, she went over there to comfort my grandma for her loss.
(I was re-reading and noticed i didnt put age anywhere im 16.) Alright well I'm not sure why I'm on reddit venting this dosen't really feel like the place, but on Sunday morning my grandpa died. Here's the story on Friday night I was going to go to a football game but some weird surcomstances allined and I ended up not going I was in my room playing CS GO and my mom came in the room and said that my Grandpa collapsed and was being taken to the hospital and they thought he had a heart attack, but that wasnt the case. My mom and I got to the hospital and where sitting around fro a while then my sister showed up a while after. There was a lot of sitting and wondering then I was told I could go into the room I followed behind my sister she looked him in the eyes and said I love you he said I love you
Have you ever been into the White House and saw the president in his limo? Have you ever had this greatest day in your life? Read my story and I will tell you about it.
This may have possibly been the worst day of my life! I started off the day waking up late to the sound of my mom yelling down stairs.
It was August 13, 1923 and at 15 years old you can’t blame me for wanting to see my friends. Though my mother had told me specifically not to go ,but me being my teenage self, I didn’t listen. So now I was cleaning the attic as my punishment and that’s when I saw it.
Life can be brutal. One moment we are relaxing on our back porch, and the next we are on our way to the hospital. Bad things happen all the time, but we can never be fully prepared for them. My mom had been feeling sick for a while but we all assumed something minor. We never expected a relentless fight for my mother’s life from one of the deadliest diseases of this world. I received the call, sitting in the driver’s seat of my grandmother’s car on my way to buy an outfit for an interview I had. I can remember every little detail of that day. “Your mom has Leukemia.” It sounded like the most bizarre sentence at the time. We learned that she would need to be transported down to Indianapolis for extensive treatment as soon as possible. We didn’t know what to expect, but we knew it
Mr. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The most difficult paths often lead to the most beautiful destinations”. (Emerson, 2007, p.213) The happiest, most memorable day of my life was also the hardest day of my life. That day started with a regular doctor’s appointment, then the Labor and Delivery Ward, and finishing with a happy and healthy baby boy. A regular day, a regular appointment nothing out of the ordinary; but some how, out of what had become a weekly routine, an unimaginable nightmare happened. Then a hospital, the Labor and Delivery Ward, becomes a prison that I couldn’t escape. Finally, through it all a happy and healthy baby gets to go home. From the beginning to the end, this is a memory that I love but can send a shiver down my spine, a reminder that no matter how hard a person can try, no one has complete control.
Everyone human in the world has had a horrible day or the best day that they could ever imagine. Most of the time, an individual will experience both in their lifetime. For example, death, losing a job, or failing an important class could count as a day that an individual would never repeat. Inversely, finding love, getting accepted into college, or winning the lottery could count as a person’s best experience. To summarize, there are days or experiences that a person would pay 1,000,000 to repeat, and there also times at which a person wouldn’t accept an endless supply of money to relive.
I came back from school from a stressful day, with significant homework. “UGH!!!! I’m so stressed out, I need to relax in bed for a while.” I complained. I opened the door to my house. “Mom, I’m home!!!”
Everything started on a beautiful sunny day, I was nine months pregnant with the most beautiful belly shape, but also it was ready to pop. That morning I woke up feeling different, it was some type of excitement running through my body, and like I wanted to get dolled up kind of different, so I curled my hair, put some makeup on and wore my long blue dress. My husband and I decided to have a little date, so we went to town and had lunch together at a restaurant, also went last minute shopping for our baby. Everything just felt magical that day, and I just couldn't understand why until we got home around 6:30 p.m. my contractions started and as time went by they were getting worse and worse, I didn't want to go to
Some of you know of my losses over the last year of so. This post is about miracles. I believe God performs them everyday. If we just stop and pay attention we may see some He has done in our own lives and those we love. In 2001 I was pregnant. It was a seemingly ordinary day. My family and I decided to go our for dinner. When we arrived at JJ North 's, I being pregnant needed to use the ladies room. After I went in to do my business, I discovered I was bleeding. This horrified me. You see I had suffered several miscarriages, and a tubal pregnancy at the point so being pregnant and carrying was a blessing. I hurried out to find my family and tell them what was happening. I 'm was frightened that 'it ' was happening again. I held back my tears as i spoke those words, " I 'm bleeding!" Quickly we left and sped all the way to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, CA. once arriving they took me straight back into the E.R. I was doing everything I could to just breathe and hope I would not lose my baby. Not again I prayed to God. So many tests were performed from blood to ultrasounds. As I layed there I just felt raw and frozen. I had to hold on to hoping. A doctor, MIles Congress came into the room to speak with me. I knew that look, One of despair and hesitation. As He began to speak, and I heard him say those words, "I 'm sorry!" He began to tell me that I lost my baby and they needed to perform a D. and C. on me. That means they were asking me to allow them to
