The Journey Of My Life

Improved Essays
I was born in Derby, England on the eighth of July 1998. I lived in a small town called Ambergate for the first four years of my life. After those four years I moved to another smaller and very remote town, Shipley. In Shipley I entered kindergarten and started school. However after a mere year we moved back to our old house in Ambergate where I lived until the biggest move of my life. Within the rest of my time in Ambergate I went to school, to my father’s house, and occasionally visited my grandparents. Around the time I turned 7 my mother started talking to an American through the notorious eHarmony. He ended up coming to our house about a year after they started talking and a year after that they were getting married. Little did I know my life would never be the same. Two months after the wedding we went on vacation to Wales. While we were on this vacation my American stepfather asked my mom if she wanted to move. I assumed that this move would not be very far from the area we were currently living in. When I found out we were moving to a whole different …show more content…
I said goodbye to my father, and grandparents. Then I, my three brothers, sister, and mother headed towards Manchester airport where the largest portion of our trip would begin. The trip to Manchester airport lasted about two hours in which all I could do was dread this move. When we arrived at Manchester airport I immediately checked to see if our plane was delayed. I looked up with angst to see that the plane wasn’t delayed. I would have done anything, at the time, to lengthen my time in England. We had to register our luggage and get our tickets, then we would go through all the security. I was already feeling anxious and wanted to get through all the security as fast as possible. We got through security, and waited about an hour. After that I got on the plane and began my journey to the United

    Looking back at the dock, the security of solid land gets smaller and smaller. I think of how my crew and I had to lug our gear- diving suits, flippers, goggles, BSD vests, regulators, bulky air tanks and all- onto the boat. I turn my eyes to the blue abyss ahead of me, but it is not the soft light blue-green that we find at the shallow end but the deeper, more somber blue that represents the enigma of the ocean and the journey that lies ahead of me. Then the boat stops moving and it's time to get ready for our first dive.…

    My mother mysteriously disappeared when I was five years old, leaving my father to care for me alone, and thus inducing my sense of independence and my cynical mindset. My father and I weren’t close though; my father was always disconnected from me, but my grandmother told me that it was since he felt the blame that my mother had abandoned us. I wasn’t even told why my mother abdicated us until I was thirteen. My father and mother fell in love in high school, married, and were supposed to be sweethearts forever, however it didn’t turn out that way. Soon after having me, my mother began taking pain pills for an ongoing back pain problem, and she became addicted to them.…

    When I had first heard about Dunes through youth group at Good Shepherd, I thought it would be a fun three day trip to the beach with a bunch of my good friends. Little did I know, I would learn many new things that really inspired me and persuaded me to grow in ways I never thought I was capable of. Not only were these three days at the beach a very fun time with my friends, it was somewhat very emotional as well. I learned so many new things about my peers and watched their relationship with God grow. I can confidently say that without Dunes, I wouldn't be the person I am today, and I am extremely thankful that I went and had the time of my life.…

    Come crossroads in human minds, from here it is your story. Decide if you will, what to believe, a barrier to rest upon as the pages slowly turn, and the end draws nigh. Finality lies ahead, but it is not written in the stars, it is like sand in time, particles shifting across shadowed plains of unseen potential. We must be blind, and in this blindness, justify what we feel before us. Please, you needn't deny yourself.…

    RARELY has obedience laid upon me so difficult a task as this of writing about prayer; for one reason, because I do not feel that God has given me either the power or the desire for it, besides which, during the last three months I have suffered from noises and a great weakness in my head that have made it painful for me to write even on necessary business. However, as I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible, my will submits with a good grace, although nature seems greatly distressed, for God has not given me such strength as to bear, without repugnance, the constant struggle against illness while performing many different duties. May He, Who has helped me in other more difficult matters, aid me with His grace…

    After flinging my school bag onto my back in an angry manner, i left my empty casing of a family home slamming the door behind me. Usually at this point I would walk the family gremlin to school because sadly we went to the same one, but the daily argument happened 20 minutes before scheduled so she wasn't even ready yet, luckily. I was now in my element. Music on, world off. I went along the same route, passing all the same oak trees, taking all the right roads as per normal.…

    Inadvertently I stumbled upon something that I would take for granted as a refuge. A refuge in which I could express myself, my emotions and transfer them into a visual reality. For once I did not acknowledge the presence of the crutches beside me. Hesitant at first then gradually getting more bold with each sweep of the hand, my depressed state faded away as color expanded across the canvas and replaced itself with one of hunger and awe. This was the day art pulled me by the arm me and forced me to expand its importance in my life.…

    On the way to the airport my mom warned us about what we might see, I didn’t entirely comprehend what she meant but I knew I was going to experience a lifestyle unlike my own. While I can’t speak for my siblings, the thought of something brand new excited me, rather than scaring me. I knew we were better off than my family in Honduras, otherwise my mother would have never moved so far away from home, but at this very moment I didn’t understand the extent of her…
