Essay On The Day That Changed My Life

Improved Essays
I glanced down at the golden, skinny metal wrapped around my petite finger. The ring was tattered with numerous, small scratches. I spun the ring in a familiar rhyme while dazing off to the day that changed my life forever. "I 'm coming to pick you up. We need to talk." I read my mom 's abrupt test message. "I think my mom is mad at me, but I don 't know why" I said aloud. Overhearing Annabelle asked "Did you forget to clean your room or take her stuff again." Puzzled by the text I started looking through my mind to see if I did anything wrong. Usually that would be the case, but this time it was different. "No, I cleaned my room last night and I didn 't take anything with me." I started to feel a wave of panic rush over me.

Kathryn, my oldest sister, left first and soon after got married to her husband, Reid. Next Josh left, and then Jeremiah. After Jeremiah moved out, the house started to feel empty. It was only the three youngest left: Olivia, me, and Rosie. It was the first time that I didn 't have to share a room with any of my siblings. I was finally able to have my own space. Surprisingly, I didn 't like it. This was around the time that the changes unfolded. I seemed to be the only one to notice. Olivia was in high school at the time, so she was usually with her friends and barely home. Rosie was in fifth grade,so she was too young to understand or put things together. discretely my parents started to talk less rather than fight. Even when my dad moved into my bedroom and I started sleeping in my parents room with my mom, I still was oblivious and thought it was because of my dad 's snoring. Or maybe I was just in denial, nevertheless I was aware on the night my mom asked me thru tears whether or not she was a good mother. After that night, everyday became a constant paranoia of the day to

It was a gloomy day from it being so cloudy and cold. I was talked into walking home during school by friends whom, at the time didn't care about school as much as I did, cared nothing of school.

    Something in me has always known that I was not typical. In this generation, the typical person would graduate high school and then go on to pursue a two to four year college degree. Up until a few months ago, that was what I thought I was going to do. I thought that I was going to go to a private college somewhere, major in law, come out to be a defense attorney, and spend my days and nights hauled up in a courtroom somewhere. I believed that that was going to be my reality not because I wanted it to be but because I thought it had to be.…

    Life Changing Event I couldn't hear the ambulance coming. Due to the ringing sounds in my head, I could only make out its blurred shape through my blood shot, puffy, teary, swallow eyes. As they got out of the vehicle they began to fight their way through the worried but interested crowd, when they manage to get through they saw that there wasn’t time to waste on asking me questions they placed a neck brace, placed me on the trolley and took me to the ten by six red and white van. The paramedic began multitasking he asked me questions and at the same time, injecting me with all sorts of drugs. It was the first time I was actually high.…

    There have been many events in my life, but the most pivotal has been the time I almost died. Many events stick with us through different areas of memory. My memory of November 22, 2003 is a crisp, cool Saturday morning at my aunt's small house. One moment my barely-taller-than-three-feet frame was just ambling through the door to the garage with my crazy family immediately behind me and the next I was on the cool hard concrete staring up at the dirty and dank ceiling of the garage, unaware of what had just happened to me in no more than two seconds. I can recall being so scared that I felt like I could not breathe.…
