A Day in My Life Essay

the last week of her life. She was a fighter; no matter how sick the chemotherapy made her, no matter how bad it hurt, she never complained. She was never mean to anyone, she never made a rude remark against someone, and everyone loved her. She lived for the Lord, and did everything she could for him. I believe in my heart, when she took her last breath, she went straight up the stairway to…

The day that changed my life was the day my family had seen Jim’s body for the last time. Then I realized even if I do well and protect myself things are still uncontrollable. Also, I cannot protect everyone else around me and neither am I myself invincible. It was that day that I was finally aware of death.

I remembered the fear and worry in my grandmother’s eyes the night before when my grandfather had been admitted to a hospice when he had been suffering from an unusual fever that never subsided, prompting us to call an ambulance.

The paramedics clamored over my grandfather, scolding my grandmother for having not called for help sooner, “If you knew that he was in this condition then why did you not call for…

Do these factors accurately define who we are destined to be? At age eight, I had thought that my identity was defined by who I looked like and what my name…

skinny metal wrapped around my petite finger. The ring was tattered with numerous, small scratches. I spun the ring in a familiar rhyme while dazing off to the day that changed my life forever. "I 'm coming to pick you up. We need to talk." I read my mom 's abrupt test message. "I think my mom is mad at me, but I don 't know why" I said aloud. Overhearing Annabelle asked "Did you forget to clean your room or take her stuff again." Puzzled by the text I started looking through my mind to see if I…

“American dream”. My mother and father were never together; I grew up living with my mother, grandmother, and grandfather until my mother got married to my brother’s father when I was 7. Although I did not grow up like most of my peers, I would not change a thing. I am now a successful 23-year-old Caucasian, Christian, English speaking heterosexual female living a middle class life. I owe most of my success to my mother who I watched struggle for years, working 2 jobs just to get myself and my…

16, 2015 was the day that she left, and the day my life was flipped upside down. The day started out as any other, there was no indication that it was going to happen; we all thought our lives were going well. She clearly didn’t think so. Because I was taking night classes, I would always call my mother while I was walking to my car after class, as I was uncomfortable walking to my car in the dark. The semester was over; I just had to write one more exam. While walking to my car after the…

that’s what happened to myself. The memory itself is very fuzzy, even at the present day, years later, I have no memory of that entire day except making dinner with my family and what happened after I woke up in the ambulance.

I heard a man’s voice and what sounded like he said that my mom was right behind us. After that things went black and next thing I know…

I have never encountered anything this dramatic in my life. I always thought my mere existence was average and subtle. Little did I know, a routine weekend visit to my dad’s house would soon change my outlook on life. I remember it like it was yesterday. At the age of 13, who would ever imagine that your life would be incredibly close to ending? For sure, not me. I was scared, frightened and felt helpless. Since my dad remarried, I was leery towards the thought of going to his new house,…

I have had many great days, but the most memorable day in my life was August 6, 2004 when I gave birth to the most precious gift one could ask for. A handsome bouncing baby boy named Jhaquan Kevin Mario Lewis was born. When I woke up at 6:00 am on that morning I knew today was the day.

I was home alone so I prepared myself to go to the hospital. At…
