The ones that constantly keep me laughing and find the good in everything, brighten my day and help me keep striving forward towards what I believe in. I think that surrounding myself with people that love God, helps me make the right decisions. The people that enjoy life make life easier to live. 3. List three of the most significant events in your life. What made them significant?
The first significant thing that happened in my life, that I can remember, is when my fathers, mom passed away. I was about five years old when she passed, so I did not get to spend much of my life with her, but I will always remember small memories I had with her. This event changed my life because it taught me at an early age to not take anyone for granted because they may not be here tomorrow. It taught me to always forgive and to always treat people with respect.
The second most significant event that happened in my life was switching schools at the beginning of high school. This taught me a lot about different types of people and how they respond to situations. Not everyone has good intentions and some people love to watch others fail or feel bad about themselves. This is the most important of all lessons that should be learned throughout life because not everyone deserves your full

    After reading the autobiography, I learned about how Byrd and the crew went on the most fascinating expedition someone could be on. I feel the theme to this would be that you should live life to the fullest because you only live once, never give up on yourself or on others and to never be afraid of what lies out there. One important event that happened in my life , has to be the time that I first went on stage to sing by myself. I always have had stage fright since forever, and even if my friends did convince me to sign up for the talent show, I still could never do it by myself. I always had to have a sidekick there with me…

    I believe that every event in your life happens for a reason. Whether the outcome of the event is good or bad it teaches us a lesson. Jeannette Walls, one of my many favorite authors, states, "Sometimes something catastrophic can occur in a split second that changes a person's life forever; other times one minor incident can lead to another and then another and another, eventually setting off just as big a change in a body's life.” Like author Walls says, there can be one major incident or one minor, but both can impact one’s life drastically. My event was major and it was what marked my transition from childhood to adulthood.…

    One of the most empowering civil rights activist once said, “Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” (Martin Luther King Jr.) To some, faith is tied to the belief of Jesus Christ, or any higher power for that matter.

    When I think about an event that changed my writing, I think less about one specific event and more about past writings and teachers. During high school I took quite a few writing classes with a variety of teachers. Those teachers often influenced my writing, but only for a short while. The exception to that would have been my 10th grade composition teacher and my mythology teacher. These two teachers had an incredible influence on my writing and how I write today.…
