Three Significant Moments And How They Have Affected My Life

The year was 2015 and in my mind it was going to be one of the most pivotal moments in my life. I was turning 16, getting my driver’s license, inching closer toward adulthood, gaining my independence, and free from adult responsibilities and worries. What I did not know was that one catastrophic event would have such a devastating impact on my life.

Everyone has their own little struggles in life, and like many people believe, things happened for a reason. Well at least that is what I have experienced. Throughout my life I have been taught by my parents that doing the right thing and having a set goal is one of the ways you can succeed in life.

"Introduce yourself. Describe an unforgettable event in your life and how it changed your perception of yourself or the view of someone close to you. This event can be dramatic and/or comedic. The assignment may be written as a short story in the first person or as an essay."

“Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.” (Jerry Seinfeld) Most people don’t know what life will bring or what road they will have to travel until that time comes. George never knew the only way he could save his best friend would be to kill him and Hamlet never knew he would die from being poisoned by my uncle and friend. All the trails and tribulations that you encounter are only to make you better person even if it’s bad. Personally I have been through a lot in 16 years. Some good and some bad but at the end it made me the young last that I am today. Your life experiences only prepare you for the real word. Three life experiences that made me who I am are Death of my uncle, my mom being ill and the switching of

Trying to acquire something new it's not always will be as expected, as will now be discussed a pivotal moment in my life when I failed in the baccalaureate exam, it changed my perspective to life it self and gained an important lesson about life.

If you have lived for any length of time, you probably had a defining moment. I experienced my defining moment in the summer of 2010 when I was six years old. You may not think a child that young could have a defining moment, but you would be wrong. Moreover, our experiences as children help to shape our personalities, our outlook on life, and what fears and anxieties we develop. My defining moments happened on a trip to The American Museum of Natural History.

It was the moment where I knew I am starting to become an adult. "The World is Yours" is my motivate phrase when I started to attend college. As a child, I was grateful for what my family gave me like toys, money, or anything a child wants. My mom will always call me "Sweetie" or "Mama" which they are my nicknames for when I get happy or when I get sad. I grew up in New York where I had my childhood living where I used to go to the park, spend time with my cousins, my grandfather picking me up from school and watch cartoons. It was that point in my life where I knew I grew up as an adult with lessons that three Disney movies have taught me.

I was 6 years old when the first semi-significant event happened in my life. The story isn’t tragic or entertaining but a grade’s a grade. The day started quite early, getting dressed would take around an hour when you had 4 children in grade school with a TV in the living room. I don’t recall breakfast or any of this clearly anyways. The drive was long and the roads we turned on were a blur on my mind. Today was the first day of school; I hadn’t actually really heard much about it despite having 3 older brothers. I did however biologically know it would be awful. I cried in my ignorant youth, pleading, begging, negotiating my way out of this horrible place I had never been and never wanted to be. Alas, I was pushing an unmovable mountain,

significant moment is graduating elementary school going to high school. My first good moment was

It was a casual sunny mall day on a Tuesday afternoon. It was the kind of day where you get front row parking and never stand in line to check-out. It was just my toddler son and I needlessly getting out of the house to enjoy a bit of cool mall air. Our first stop is always the playground but I had to grab a few Auntie Ann’s soft pretzels to munch on while I watched him at play. Being pregnant, I simply could not resist the buttery-baked aroma circulating the air. After contemplating cinnamon sugar, I ordered the biggest cup of salted pretzel bites and a refreshing strawberry-lemonade to drink. Although I have had Auntie Anne’s pretzels numerous of times, I was not prepared for what was about to happen next.

I guess the first major life changing moment was leaving Egypt after my parents got divorced. I don’t exactly remember what happened between my parents but i know it didn’t end well. My sisters and

The significant event of my life is about suicide attempt of my neighbour. It is few years old story when I and he were class mates and used to go to school together. It was the result day of 9th grade when he came across the news of his failure. I am not much sure about the details of the event as it is an old event and the panic created at that moment did not enable me to note the details. He and I had gone to school together and came across few other class mates before reaching the notice board to see the result. My neighbour was a sensitive boy. The class mates gave us the news of his failure, he was extremely shocked and in the same condition, he jumped from the 3rd floor window of the school. He died at the spot. The news of his suicide attempt was a shock for all who had made a joke of his failure. He had scored shining marks while the class mates were enjoying his sensitivity.

Defining a single moment that inspired a significant change in my life and who I am as a person is a difficult task because changes often occur over long periods of time in my life and rarely in individual moments. While combing my memory for life changing moments, I realised I was asking the wrong questions. I shouldn’t search for climactic memories that stand out as good stories because I am not just telling a story. Instead, I’m describing a part of how I became the person I am and I quickly decided upon the memory of the first time I led a class at my karate studio.

What significant event in your life has shaped you into the person you are today?

As a child one of the most positive events that impact my life that broadened my knowledge about what it means to be somebody. It was a world famous event that was televised many years ago the trip to the moon. The trip of the moon was televised when I was still a child. This event has had a positive impact in my life. As a child, I had the dream of becoming an astronaut. To become an astronaut unfortunately that dream never came through. Now as a parent, I encourage my daughters to put close attention to those positive events that they may encounter in their lives, because one of those events may lead them to a
