Personal Narrative: Loss Of My Life

Improved Essays
It was a nice sunny day or at least it seemed like that from a hospital bed. I had been sitting here for awhile because I was waiting to see if I had been diagnosed with cancer. I was hoping that they would speed it up so I can stop spending nights in this hospital. I didn't have very much money but I feel like I can try my best to pay for this before I am 80.

It has been awhile since I had my surgery. I got home that day and got fired because I had cancer and didn't want to lose money if i were to die. I was very mad and they refused to pay my last check, so I was wondering what I should do. I would like to sew but I am broke, so I am going to have to do whatever it takes to pay my medical bill. It will be very hard to have a normal life now.

I know I will have to do whatever I have to do to make a living and try to save up some money for the sewing company I used to work for. The first of many time jobs I could work for is

I thought to myself, “ Man. I lost, I lost my job and my money. There is no way I will ever be able to bounce back after this.” That night I was about to just waste all my money, my dreams, and my revenge down the drain but I remembered something my mom told me, “ There is only one way from the bottom, up” those words made me think and made me push the fact that I could get my revenge. All I had to do was stay resilient and things would get better.
The lawsuit was a success and it turned out that they had done that to a lot of people who got sick or that got hurt it is just that it was super hard to get the money to sew them after they paid their bills and the company is filing for bankruptcy after they got sued. I used they money to help families finance medical care for others who need it the most in need. The managers of the charity are people who had the same struggles that I

    Through the OSHA and the workers’ compensation laws, Beverly Tull has the right to file a claim with the board to be able to get a compensation and surgery for her injury. She fulfilled the two requirements of the workers’ compensation laws which are the existence of an employment relationship and that the injury itself resulted from the job or course of employment (Miller, 2015, pp. 656). Beverly did tell her employer about the situation since they recommended her to contact a physician and also filed the claim with the board (Miller, 2015, pp. 675).

    Losing someone so close to you can internally and externally break you. One day you could be having a normal conversation with that one person talking about something exciting that happened in your day and the next day, they are gone. I can relate to this to a tee because I have gone through this with my mom. In my freshman year of high school, she got really sick and had a seizure in her sleep. I was the one that had found her and I was the one that called the ambulance.…

    “Throwing Down The Gauntlet On My Life” I’m a junior at Presbyterian Pan American School. I was born in Brownsville, Texas, but since my parents are Mexican nationals, I grew up in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, Mexico. In 2013, my parents told me to “pack your bags” you are going to Kingsville, Texas. I came to Texas three years ago to attend Presbyterian Pan American School (PPAS), a senior private boarding school in Kingsville, Texas, on an academic scholarship. Talking about different aspects of my life is daunting, but it also allows me to come to terms with my growth as an individual by learning from my failures, confronting obstacles such as adapting to new surroundings, and a different educational system, speaking English properly, and adjusting to a real world working environment.…

    1. Why did you choose the event you did? I choose the remembered event of my Brother’s death because it is by far the most explicitly vivid image in my mind. I also found that putting my thoughts on paper was some way therapeutic to what I have been carrying around for the last 15 years.…

    The morning of Saturday November 1st, 2014, I woke up to three hundred text messages and twitter notifications all notifying me that my friend, Dominik Pettey, was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver the previous night. No pain had ever felt so significant, it was crippling, but then instead of pain, I was numbed by the inability to grasp that my friend someone who I just had seen the night before, was gone. I ran the words “Dom is dead” through my head on a loop but could not bring myself to accept it. That week, although I was still here, facing such a tragedy, everything on earth seemed so insignificant, going to class, homework, midterms, everything. I woke up every morning wishing it was just in a bad dream and that noise would never cease because that is when it hit me the most, silence, when I didn't hear Dom’s infectious laugh or when he wasn't telling me that, “I am Kiera Wainer and deserve the best God can give”, which he used to say anytime I was upset, the first time he said those words was the second worst day of my entire life, it was the day my dad left for his new family.…

    My first experience with death occured when I was 4 and my great-grandfather died, although I was not that affected, as I was too young to really know what was going on and I wasn´t really close with him in the first place.

    Sometimes we don't know what we have until it's all gone. People may think it will never happen, until it happens and you can't go back to fix what you wish you would have done.

    A death of someone is never easy to handle, especially when it’s someone you truly care about. Growing up, the subject of death was never really concealed from me. My parents were very upfront about it and taught me that it is part of life. I have experienced multiple deaths throughout my years, both of family and nonfamily members, but only 4 of them really impacted me and taught me lessons. I wouldn’t say that these experiences of death has made me numb to it, but has shaped the way that I handle and look at death.…
