Personal Narrative: My Life Over Again

Decent Essays
I wish I could live this day over and over again. It makes me feel like I could’ve done something to make my life a little better, (from going to hating it to knowing it will never come back.) This changed everything for my whole family. It was January 29, 2014, I went to school (thinking that I was going to go hang out with my girlfriends after school.)
I never thought that half of my world would end like this. I came home and when I asked to go hang out my dad told me “we have to go to the hospital and see your mom she is getting surgery and we have to be there for her.”
My heart went to being really happy to really sad and a little worried. I was on my way there and I was thinking to myself that this has to be one of the regular surgery that she has, or that this would be the last night I see her.. I wouldn't know what to

Her heart has stopped four times we have tried to make her heart come back but the only thing that is keeping her alive is life support. We are giving you the choice to have your mom be on life support or you have to say your goodbyes. My dad told me that it was my choice because he knew she didn't want to be on that. She wanted to be able to hug us and kiss us and really just talk to us. So by that we had to say our goodbyes. I tried to stay strong but after I heard that I thought to myself how could god take away my mom like this. I didn't really see her. I didn't get to have all the talks I wanted to. I regret so much now that it makes me feel like she is still here. When I was little I thought that losing a parent was hard but not as hard as it is in real life. When it was time to go up in the room and say goodbyes to her I went to the bathroom and balled my eyes out. I didn't know that it would be just like this. I think about it every day now that I have to live every day fully and know that she is my gardarin angle watching over

    “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.…

    It’s very strange how one experience or choice you make in your life can change the rest of your life that follows that event, would you then in turn change these decisions you made. Such as your what if your mom conceived you not on the knowing basis. What if everyone was telling her not to because she was to be a single mom and that’s not a world a child should be born into, but then what if she challenged this belief that she grew up with. This then in turn affected all her choices later in life, but then vice versa what if she didn't challenge this belief and stuck with what she knew. This may be of the more extreme choices in life that some people must make but we all have that certain time in our life that comes where we must break away and make…

    There are approximately 397,000 children in foster care in the United States of America currently and I used to be one of them. However, foster had not even been near the forefront of my mind that summer. The summer before I started my first year of high school, I had plenty of anxiety about the tall tale I invented in my own mind that stood before me. Stories about how hard high school were numerous and often regaled on the crowded bus ride home by high schoolers who seemed to have the knowledge of every wise teacher in history combined. which that scared me to death; I had always held my position as a good student who followed the rules of my middle school.…
