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. When my parents sat me down and explained to me that I was having a baby sister, I began to feel a little disappointed that I was not going to be the only child anymore. 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. As my sister was about to arrive, 5 months before my family and I had to move out of our small little town house. We then moved to an earth-contact home in which it had a shop and a lot of land. We had to move out because the house we…
It was a foggy day. Glued to my car window, I peered outside to witness rows and rows of blinking headlights. The drive was long. Just as I was getting tired of the monotonous traffic, I saw it. The sight that changed my life. A dome so big that I felt like it was mocking the skyscrapers nearby. With wide eyes, I fervently asked my dad what it was. He said it was called NASA and engineers worked there to see space. That’s when my little mind, that fantasized that the next trip to the playground…
“Never take life for granted, because you never know when it might be taken away from you.” This quote comes to mind every time I think about that difficult time in my life when I didn’t know if there was going to be a tomorrow for me. It was a time when I was very sick. My Doctor had unknowingly stapled my intestine shut while he was removing my appendix, and I layed in the hospital bed for days and no one could figure out what was wrong with me. This experience changed my perspective on life,…
memories ' change and influence who we are today. In my life, I have broken many bones and a few of those memories that changed who I am also those experiences had really changed my perspective. Whenever I broke something I wasn 't doing anything extreme, but I should’ve been more careful at what I was doing it was never a pleasant experience. In my experiences when someone breaks a bone it hurts, it is like a sharp pain running up and down your arm or leg that then swells, but that 's a…
I experienced something that changed my life forever on August 29, 2005. Hurricane Katrina made landfall and destroyed everything I had ever known. We evacuated on the day I was supposed to have my birthday party on August 25, 2005. It was beautiful day the water slide people were just pulling up when my mom ran into my room frantically yelling “we need to leave and leave now!” I was not sure what was happening then she ran outside and told the water slide company there was going to be no…
What defines an individual? Unfortunately, many argue that it is a traumatic experience, or an experience that completely changed their life. While I have had exceptionally harrowing experiences, such as my father being seized from my home in handcuffs when I was seven years old after witnessing him abuse my mother for years, I do not believe that any of these experiences “define” me. These experiences certainly helped shape who I am today and altered my view on the world, however, what truly…
the world could offer me that, instead it made me go contrary to the principles of God for a while. I fought with Him a couple of years ago, and my life was a mess and I was completely lost. How, you may be wondering? There was a point in my life where I…
If my life was a painting it would be very colorful, vibrant, and full of life. I grew up in a city where I was just like everyone else yet I still stood out. When I entered high school my life took a turn for the better, I started to become involved with clubs, sports, and getting to know more people. My sister inspired me to join volleyball and basketball because when I was growing up I always went to her games and also my dad always compared me to her because I played soccer and did boxing at…
Every person’s life has been changed by expected or unexpected events. For me, my life has been through various events that altered my life. Despite all the events I have been through, my high school years was a special event because its the source of me becoming the person I am today. High school for me was similar to a dream, however some parts of my high school years felt I was experiencing hallucinations. Furthermore, the justification of the hallucinations is mainly because of drama with…
Not very long ago I suffered a pretty nasty injury that would change my outlook on very many things, and also guide me in some of my future activities. A little over a year ago I tore my anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) in my right knee and had to have surgery and go through the healing process. Although some may think that being injured would only be a bad thing, I have learned that over time it can also bring some good into your life; as it did with mine. All of these things I learned in the…
