My Experience That Changed My Life

Improved Essays
Have you ever had an event or experience that has changed your life? Well, mine was nine years ago, when my little sister Daphne was born. This special event changed my life changed drastically.

Being able to get all the attention 24/7 from all my family members was the only thing I ever wanted. As I had came to realization that I was having a little sister, my life was about to change in ways I would have never imagined.

In my sister’s eyes I am her hero and am extremely thankful for her. Although in the beginning I did not realize how much she meant to me until a few years ago, I finally came to the realization that she is growing up and I will not be seeing much of her next year and the years after that. Even getting a goodnight kiss from her makes me know that I am doing my job as a big sister right. She has taught me many life lessons and has definitely shaped me into the person I have become

    The first mentions of the words ‘Taj Mahal’ caused images of pure white marble against clear blue skies to spring to my mind. After a quick Google search of the building, I anticipated expected my trip to act as an eye opener portraying the beauty of the Taj Mahal as representative of the true love of Shah Jahan towards his wife Mumtaz. When I arrived, I was sorely mistaken. I was surrounded by clouds accompanying a light drizzle of rain, hundreds of people packed together, and street children forcing Taj Mahal knickknacks in my face, trying to earn a few rupees.

Having read this book a few years back, it was actually helpful to me. It may have been helpful in the most indirect way possible, but helpful nonetheless. The Glass Castle had a small part in helping me through my problems with depression and anxiety.…
