Things That Affected My Life

Improved Essays
There are many things that have impacted my life. The greatest impact in my life so far that has made all the difference was when I went to New Orleans for a band trip. I was hesitant on going because I knew that I would have to pay one hundred dollars every month for about 10 months. My parents and I decided that it would be a great opportunity to go to New Orleans, so I went. We drove down on charter buses. The first activity that we got to do when we got to New Orleans was tour the town. I was excited because we were able to walk around the area near the French Quarter. We were able to see how people made a living by performing on the streets and painting amazing art. Over the next few day that we were there we got to go to a mint museum,

    The most significant impact I have made at my high school has been through helping my fellow peers, generally through unofficially tutoring some of them. I do not think there is one instance that stands out more than the others because I always attempt to do something little everyday, be it explaining a broad concept or assisting another student in working through a problem on a review sheet. The most recent example was when one of my friends in my AP Statistics class, Shannon, sent me a text the night before a test, asking if I could help her understand some of the questions on the review sheet, which I responded to with, “I shall try my best”. When we met the next morning, thirty minutes before homeroom started, she took out the…

    As a child, you never think what would happen if the time you spent with someone would be your last moments with them. When you said goodbye to that person, it was not supposed to be a permanent goodbye, but more like an “I will see you later.” Growing up as a child, I never thought about death or losing someone I cared about deeply. I thought that I would have that person in my life forever. Even as I got older I did not think much about death because it was hard to think about telling someone goodbye forever.…
