What Makes A Gift?

There has been many important events that have occurred since I have been born but there is one in particular that has sparked a light in me that has changed the way i have looked at things. It happened when I was playing with the Sacramento FC and everything was going well until the middle of the season. When we got to the middle of the season things started to look shady. I wasn't getting playing time and that really opened my eyes to reality. Soccer was not the only thing that I needed to do in order to have a good life. I needed to start focusing on my dreams and different routes to success other then just soccer. It really showed what I need to do in order to survive in the real world. If it was not for my family's support through this

I had an experience that changed my life completely in just in a blink of an eye. Even though 19 is still a young age, it should never happen to anyone. I stop to think every day about that day and what had happened to me was a tragedy. Ever since then, I’ve seen how much I have changed and because of that I cherish life

I moved to the state of Delaware and I had been sitting “dormant” for about a year and I was doing my own thing. Then, one day I was going for a motorcycle ride and I saw “volunteers needed”. It was a marquee board outside of a firehouse in Little Creek Delaware. I decided to stop and see what they had to offer or should I say now what I had to offer them. I stopped in and talked with the chief and I decided to give it a shot. I never realized how rewarding it was going to be. May of 2013 changed my life for the better. It made me realize I had purpose in life and a passionate career to pursue.

Have you ever seen one of those commercials that have little girls pretending to grow up? The scene opens with her walking down an aisle with a pillow case as her veil, a white fairy princess costume to stand in as her wedding dress, and finally coming to a close with her playing house with her baby dolls. Well, that certainly wasn’t me, but I was a kid from the 90s and of course I had all of the coolest toys available at the time. I recall countless Cabbage patch dolls, a My Size Barbie, but most of all Baby All Gone. I didn’t realize how one doll could cause such chaos. I would have to make repeated trips to my makeshift grocery store because she just wouldn’t stop eating! When the day came that I ran out of her ‘licensed’ diapers, I attempted to ‘stop the flow’ with a makeshift t-shirt, but it just wouldn’t cut it.

deeper understanding of your own thoughts.” This was a turning point for me as I realized

I would say my real, heartfelt transformation didn’t come from a single event or accomplishment, but by multiple phenomena. As I got ready to choose IB courses, finalize classes, choose a summer program and find time to revisit old friends, I noticed how far I had come from that little blonde girl, who would play pretend on her pink bike and fight the New York breeze. I noticed how different I had become; the girl that was once lost on the streets trying to make it to her last day of school was no longer there. Instead she had transformed into a woman who was making life-changing decisions all on her own. The girl who was choosing her course of action for the next two years and would therefore, decide what to do with the rest of her

Two of the greatest days of my life were the days my daughters were born. The first time I held the both of them and gazed into their eyes I felt a sense of relief and hope. The feeling is a warm tingling sensation that engulfed my entire body. The emotions that I felt are beyond what words can explain. It’s amazing to me that in the first few minutes of their lives they completely changed my perception of the world.

The idea of a gift is hardly anything new. Offering a reward for a recommendation or for referring business to a certain service or goods supplier is often seen as a reasonable advertising tactic. Many businesses and members of the community will often give gifts, such as free services or offers to pay for food for the officer. For police officers, for whom a great deal of integrity and a high moral caliber is required, the idea of them taking a gift is a potential nightmare for a police chief or for a member of the management. And often many officers are unaware of what a gift can entail and what it can mean for the person giving it or their intentions behind it. In fact, many gifts are seemingly innocuous and do no actual harm to the integrity of the police force. But there are cases where they can do damage to the reputation and image of the police force, and to prevent that, there needs to be a clear policy on the taking of gifts for a police officer in Lynchburg, in order to prevent a loss of respect in the eyes of the public and preserve our image and the faith in our “brand” of policing in order to protect it from allegations and prevent any chance of a founded accusation from arising out of this issue.

Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.

For many, a life changing moment comes in the form of a tragedy or a hard-earned revelation. Mine came in the form of a five-year-old girl named Sofia. Sofia spent most of her time in the oncology ward of the hospital where I volunteered. Her days consisted of sterile hospital rooms, scans, and chemotherapy. She was losing her hair because of chemo when most girls her age were learning how to braid theirs. She played with a doll (Mr. Buttons) in her hospital room instead of playing with other children.

Sometimes in your life, there will have something special happening to you, and it will definitely change your way of thinking, your old method you used to deal with it. And it do happen to me too. It was on July 3rd 2015, I was strongly inspired by THE one of the most greatest teacher I’ve ever known and he made me change day by day with a lot of hard work, attempts and perseverance.

We all have that moment in life that changes us in some ways. I think back at events in my life, as an example the births of my children that caused me to grow into a mother and the woman I am today. However, there is a moment in my life, after my children, I was psychologically lost. This moment changed my life forever!

This story is about a man giving a gift that is intended to show gratitude to a stranger’s good deed that moved him years ago. An old woman with her two grandchildren went to the supermarket for some groceries. The little boy and girl accompanied their grandmother, helping her out with some groceries. While the little girl was picking a few things at the market, her grandmother told her that the items she had chosen were not necessarily, although, the grandmother told her granddaughter to choose something special for her grandfather since it was his birthday, while he was home waiting for them to come back with the groceries. The little girl picked up a cake from the pastry section and ran to the counter where her grandmother and brother were waiting, ready to check out. When the cashier added the cake to the other items it made the grocery purchase higher than the money they had in hand, so the grandmother pleaded with the cashier to void the cake out of her transaction. The granddaughter pleaded with the grandmother that she wanted the cake and that she would not have asked for anything else. The grandmother had no choice by not buying the cake. As soon as they left the market a gentleman at the market decided to purchase the cake that the young girl left at the market. The grandmother and her grandchildren on their way home the gentle man approached the young girl and the grandmother with the cake that the young girl chose for her grandfather. The grandmother stated to

I remember the day that all changed i was at school and the teacher decided to read out a story someone in our class had wrote. to my surprise the teacher chose my story, this was confusing because i wasnt the top of my class. afterwards the teacher said he wanted to speak to my mother, and this was never a good thing so i didn 't tell my mum that the teacher wanted a meeting. fast forward to parents evening (these never went well for me) the teacher said he wanted to enter my story into a local competition because he thought i could win. i was just as surprised as my mum. fast forward to the competition. i didn 't win, but i came second. for the first time i felt genuinely proud of myself together with a teacher the believed in me, CHANGED MY WHOLE LIFE . later that day the teacher said to me that i could grow up to be a great writer if i applied myself. at that age i didn 't take him seriously because i only wrote one fairly good story maybe i got lucky. but his words planted a seed an idea deep in my mind.
