It came to me all of the sudden. I recalled a story that I absolutely had to tell my mom. I broke out in a run throughout the house to the master bedroom. As I maneuvered my way through our home, I turned with the sharp corner of the stairs. My arms flapped wildly around, and that is when it happened. My hand faintly brushed a big pumpkin on the ledge of our stairs, and down it went. I froze mid run, and watched in horror as the pumpkin tumbled down. When there were no more stairs for it to plummet down, it bounced higher than a pumpkin should ever be able to, and created a big, pumpkin-shaped hole in our wall. With tears in my eyes I walked to my mother, and explained about the pumpkin falling. She curiously wandered to the stairs, and couldn’t

Starting school affected me in so many different ways. It has taught me countless things, and most of them are irrelevant to academics. Being in school has taught me how to be social, how to make new friends, how to work hard, and be prepared. It has taught me that the easy way is not always the best way. I have learned to manage my time, eat healthy, and get enough sleep. I’ve studied math, English, science, history, art, and many other subjects. During school, I have had challenging times with friends. For example, in third grade, my only two friends would run away from me at recess. This caused me to weep, and feel insignificant every night. Consequently, being in school has resulted in me meeting some of my best friends to this day. They continue to build me up, and give me confidence about myself. If I had not begun school, I would not have met my best friends. I also wouldn’t know how to treasure the friendships I do have right now. School will continue to define me because I can get a job, and provide for my family if …show more content…
I was young, and didn’t take the time to get to know her as I should have, but this did not make her death any less heartbreaking. She had cancer for a long time before she left. I was always so grateful for her positive attitude amid the agonizing trial. At one point, she stopped eating, and that is when we knew it was time for her to go. It was in the month of December when my grandfather gave my mother money to go buy some present to give to grandma for Christmas. My mom bought her some delightful clothes and jewelry, and was eager to see her face when she opened them on Christmas. Unfortunately, my grandma never had the opportunity to receive the gifts. A few days later, my grandpa called, and explained that the doctor said she only had two more weeks to live. She was supposed to die on my mom’s birthday, therefore Mom had to return the presents. She later told us that this was one of the most emotionally draining things she’s ever had to do. Everybody in my family felt so blessed to have her for a week more than the doctor said. She died on December 19, 2011, six days before Christmas, and six days longer than she was supposed to. My whole family was at my house for Christmas, but an empty feeling hung in the air. My mom had an extremely difficult time with it, and still does to this day. I have been told countless times that I look like my grandmother. The fact that some part of her is within me
