The Day I Will Never Forget Essay

American people knew they were under attack. This meant war; but not just any war, a war on terrorism. In President George W. Bush’s address to the people after the attacks he stated, “The search is underway for those who were behind these evil acts. I have directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.”…

The day was finally here! An explosion of giddiness raced through me as my anticipation rose. It has been months since I had last had the opportunity to do what I love to do- hike. Something about the plethora of smells and scenery always gave me a sense of complete serenity. I haven’t been able to hike a lot due to my soccer injury. That may have been one of the most painful experiences in my life. Long story short, I was blocking the ball as it zoomed to my goal and instead my knee came in…

to Hawaii and it had finally happened. We had been planning the trip for over a year and before I knew it, I was already there on the gorgeous island of Maui. The first morning we were there we decided to go up to the summit of Haleakala to watch the sunrise. Haleakala is a volcano that has been dormant since 1790. The summit of Haleakala is so serene and definitely one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. The summit of Haleakala is over 10,000 miles above seal level, and it forms…

to anyone, Its happened to me, I was young and didn’t consider myself to be in that typical abusive relationship considering he had never hit me before. He was charming, kind to others, always willing to help those in need and loved his family. It only took one day for him to just snap and send him into a rage I will never be able to forget for the rest of my life. I remember most of the ambulance ride; the paramedic was so kind while trying to keep me calm because I was so afraid. After…

I would never be the same person, never. I met someone, I hadn't met him in years and I never knew he could make a difference in my life. This man changed the way I thought, acted and dressed. Muhammad Zafar Iqbal, otherwise known as my grandfather, or as we call him, Daddy. Everyone wonders why we call him Daddy, but I don't have an accurate answer. We grew up calling him that, and I guess it's because we all are very close to him and think of him as another father figure. Daddy looks like…

We must keep the memory alive…

People who have wronged deserve forgiveness because even though they have made a mistake it is okay. We are all humans and humans make mistakes all the time. It takes time to forgive someone, but after a while you will forget why you were mad or upset at the person. Sometimes you just have to let things go in…

The thought of being in a physical altercation gave me nightmares. I did not know how to fight and was in fear of being attacked, which would lead to more…
