morning. I woke up to a chilling phone call. I grabbed my phone and it was from Veronica. I was so confused, so I answered it. “Hello... “ I said as I heard screaming and crying coming out of her voice. “Mike, I need you to come to my house, something happen to Jessica.” I grabbed my things and ran to my car. It was pouring rain. I put my keys in the ignition as fast as I possibly could, and hit the gas pedal with all the force in my body. Jessica is my 17 year old daughter, she is a senior in high school
Another Life The message rang in my ear. I could not believe what I was hearing. My body had gone completely numb. I no longer could feel myself sitting, but only felt sharp ice cold pains that the table was sending through my body. This just can not be true. I do not have time for this. How could I have this happen to me? I wanted to speak but could not find the words. What was there to say? I sat on that cold icy table, his eyes watching with concern. As I sat there, I remembered when I was
Life, in my opinion, was quite boring. Waking up every single day of my teenage life at the same time, eating breakfast at the exact same time, taking practically the same lunch five times a week, taking the bus with the same people I've known all my life and eventually ending up spending eight hours out of my day being around those people. At the end of the day, I still have to go home to meet my family. And yes, it may seem as if I'm a very moody and arrogant teenager, but in my defense, that was
Many experiences through my life have shaped me into the person I am today. Some of them are so insignificant I can't even place them, but others I will remember until I take my very last breath. I will never forget what happened to my family and I since the time my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. Because my grandmother had cancer for a good portion of my childhood, I became very mature, gained a new respect for people, and I have developed a new outlook on life. My grandmothers diagnosis made
By : Solomiya Plugator Over the course of my short life, I have been to every imaginable world. Of course, these simply exist in my mind. My mind, that tends to wander off to more places than anyone has ever been to. Using my mind as an example I have decided that I want to break out and travel the world, as many people on this planet do for one simple reason. They believe that by getting lost it is possible to find yourself. Questioning this theory that many seem to have engraved into their
Dear family, mother, father, dearest grandmother, and beloved cousins, if my misfortune is your happiness, then I'll gladly suffer. If my wails at night are music to your ears, then I’ll write you a symphony. If my blood, sweat, and tears keep you shining, then I’ll bleed you an ocean. To my family of whom I would do anything for, if the Hannah Pham in front of you doesn't meet your standards, then, I’ll gladly see her out. Almost every Asian child is taught the most fundamental principle of our
My lungs burn as they fill with water, as I 'm trying to get my head above surface. I struggle and push my legs harder and harder but no matter how hard I push I can 't stop sinking. I notice bindings on my feet and desperately try clawing at the rope on my feet. I 'm running out of oxygen, and I have to take a breath. I take a big gulp of water and my lungs fill, black spots clouded my vision as I feebly struggle to untie the rope, I take one more breath and could feel I 'm fading BRINGGGGG!!
When most people think of life, they don’t necessarily try nor want to remember the hardships and obstacles it took to get here. Where they are now. Among many things, I’ve seem to count negative marks the most in my life. Although i lived a good, middle class life, it isn’t all it’s made to be. I believe my first crisis, would have to have been sitting on a motorcycle and the motor burning me. It didn’t do much damage, in fact little, but it felt like a million suns on my tiny legs. I had been probably
An Autobiography by Lee Iacocca might be similar with My Early Life by Winston Churchill, however Churchill’s text is a memoir while Iacocca’s is an autobiography. Both texts are aimed at those who might be inspired by the two great leaders famous for their achievements in history, or to those who want to become them, or simply those who are interested in their stories. Despite a common audience, the tones of the two texts vary greatly as a memoir retells a memory as vividly and captivating as possible
In life, someone can greatly change your life forever. Have you had someone change your life? One person can change the way you think, behave, and how you act around others. I have been shown the ways of Christ through the actions of my grandfather. He had worked, served and ministered with “Food for the Poor” for many years. The time that I have spent with my grandfather has helped to shape me into who I am today and will continue to shape me into a Christ-like character. In all of my grandfather's
