What I Learned To Change My Life

Sometimes life lessons are learned the hard way. Unfortunately for me, this is how I learned mine. I do not mean to make this sad and depressing, but this is the truth.

Around the end of January I began to feel ill. I was becoming weaker, I couldn’t even stand in the shower by myself. I lost around 10 pounds too. In the beginning of February, I went to the doctor with my mom. The doctor said we shouldn’t worry about it and it was probably just the flu. She also took a couple blood tests just in case it was something else. My mom took me to work with her, because she didn’t want to leave me alone at home. Later on that day, the doctor called my mom and told her to bring me into the hospital as soon as possible. At the time I had no idea what diabetes was. I was only 8 years old. It was February 9, 2007, and I was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes. I ended up staying in the hospital for that whole week, and stayed

I then said, “I’m not sure what is wrong but I’ve been having a little pain and I can’t keep any food down.” The doctor then checked me out, took tests, and then pretty much told me that I was a crazy old lady who was imagining things. Even though that doctor didn’t believe me, I knew something was wrong. I went and tried to get other doctors to believe me, but like my doctor, no one did. After a couple days of pain and no one believing me, I then went to my daughters house and all of us headed to the Jay County Hospital.

On a cold sunny day, I got the news that would change my life. A couple weeks before a family vacation to Canada, my parents decided to have my blood drawn and tested for a disease, Celiac Disease, that makes you gluten intolerant. About halfway through that trip, in a large food court, loud and crowded, in a shopping mall, my mom got a call from the doctor’s office. When she picked up the phone, the doctor said that my test came abnormal and that they would have to take another blood sample. When they took the blood sample, for the second time, the results came back as abnormal. This time the doctors said that in order to make sure that I had the Celiac Disease they would need to preform a scope. The results of the scope determined that have celiac disease.

Although most of us can relate to this problem, many do not know how to appropriately solve this dramatic situation. Discrimination takes a big part in the 1960 novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, which takes a big toll on the main characters. The novel travels with a family that includes a six year old girl named Scout until she is nine, a ten year old boy named Jem until he is thirteen and their father Atticus, who is about fifty years old. The children learn that race discrimination is one of the biggest obstacles during this time period and learn how to overcome it.

Obviously the course English 107 did not teach me how to write, I already knew how to write. But I did learn a few important concepts that will help me for future essays. Before taking the course I did not know how to come to terms with any authors while using their concepts, but reading the Harris book really taught me to understand the way to come to terms with them. My essays have really improved over these 10 weeks. As a writer, I really struggled with making my essays be understood. Know I write my essays clearly and readers can come to terms with my essays. I understand that I still need work, but at the end of the day, but I learned so many things that will benefit me in the future. For example, I learned to extend my thesis by identifying the argument and purpose to take it across to the audience. One of my previous papers was a rhetorical paper and my first thesis was completely trashed, “It is the best because the organization’s use of ethos, pathos, and logos create an effective call to action for viewers to make more responsible choices”, I later then extended it to, “It is the best because the organization’s use of ethos, pathos, and logos create an effective call to action for viewers to make more responsible choices. The video effectively triggers the audience’s sense of understanding that drunk driving affects everyone from the victim to their family and friends”. A good thesis should not be a sentence long, it should be longer with valuable information.

It was almost my birthday when my grandma noticed that I was pale and fragile, and had lost a lot of weight. My grandma told my mom, and they quickly took me to the hospital. When we got to the hospital they took me back to be checked on. Twas the day of my birthday party and instead of being with family and friends my parents had to be with me. After all the tests and needles, the doctor told my parents that I had gotten a small stomach virus that quickly turned into a huge stomach virus and had attacked my Pancreas, which caused “Juvenile Diabetes”. My parents started to freak out, and asked tons of questions about what Diabetes was.

Close to the end of Kindergarten, I was extremely sick. Normally, even when I was sick, I would still be playing and doing what any other little girl would do. However, this time it shocked my parents deeply. While I was ill I did not want to eat anything, I always wanted something to drink and I was losing an extreme amount of weight for a six year old girl; to the point where my clothes did not fit me correctly and my underwear hung on me instead of being snug. I was not healthy by any definition. I was sleeping constantly and when I bent over, you could count all of the vertebrae in my back. Concerned, my mom called my pediatrician and they decided to bring me in the next day; instead of waiting until my annual birthday check-up.

When I started this course I didn't like the class, and I didn't think I was going to be able to finish the course or do any of the work. Since the final essay was due my attitude has changed a lot. Turnitin.com had a lot to do with the success of my papers and in the class. Now that I am Almost through I would like to see myself excel a lot more in my writing capabilities. Writing an essay might seem like a long process, but in the end, I have no doubt that my paper is going to bring us success.

It all started with long drive to something I knew was coming but didn’t want to face. It was a week before Thanksgiving and my imminent surgery was afoot. That surgery had me worried for weeks. It was a process that involved moving bone from my hip to my top jaw, worst of all no solid food for 10 weeks. I wouldn’t be able to run, go up stairs, and all sorts of other fun things. The wait to get into the pre op area, was painstakingly long. I was terrified. What if they mess up? What if I can never eat solid foods again? Then they put an IV into my arm and sent me to the operating room. After that I woke up and had over 100 stitches in my mouth and a couple on my hip. Keep in mind that I was ten and thought the worst about everything little

In the spring of 2008 I was sent to the hospital. I was sent to hospital because my parents had been concerned about me losing a lot of weight and also I did not want to eat anything because I kept getting sick from it . After all the testing that day ,the doctors later told me that I had type 1 diabetes . At first when they told me, I was in shock because I had no idea what diabetes was .

Most of the verdict we take will eventually figure and describe our track of lives. These are what we refer to as lessons of life. Choices never present themselves in an easy way. In some instance we are always forced to pay a price to achieve something. This implies that we are trading for an outcome we are seeking.

A person’s life is a journey filled with bumps, detours and dead-ends while the route is shaped by the people, places and experiences that litter the path. It does not matter if a person graces your life for a moment or for a lifetime, each one helps guide our destination by helping define who we are and who we will become. These relationships bring us the many tools that we will need along the way. My parents and friends have given me great roadside assistance by teaching many ethical principles. Because of them, honesty and acceptance are two core values of mine that will be tremendous assets in a future business career.
