The Day I Will Never Forget Essay

tomorrow” I didn’t realize that bright and early meant I was going to have my hands on a patient for the first time, I didn’t realize that bright and early would be the beginning of the exciting future that awaits me.

It’s always been my dream to go into healthcare and help others, but really I was just so anxious to be in scrubs already. I…

Initially, I'll never forget that day. It was a bitter cold March afternoon. The sky was a dull lifeless gray color. I was only seven years old and being my typical obnoxious self as I barged through the front door coming home from school. I didn't think anything of the fact that my Dad’s car was parked in the driveway. He was suppose to be at work. I threw my backpack on the floor and skipped to the refrigerator for a fruit punch juice box. As I closed the door and took a sip I heard deep…

Max’s Death It was in the middle of the day some clouds but you could still see through them. The sun was bright and shiney but under the trees it was dark and abandoned. This area was my sanctuary it was far away from everyone and everything. My sanctuary always kept my mind clear from what happened the day before; It was horrifying but he said it had to be done. Today was the day I watched my best friend Max die. Today was like any other day of winter because it was snowing. The snow was the…

fascinates me but one of the best days of my life was the day that my nephew was born on April 9, 2014. It was such a beautiful, breathtaking experience. A life, no, a baby breathing in oxygen for the first time; the sounds of their screams throughout the hospital room. The light illuminating on their pale pink skin, it's something that I'll never be able to forget. I knew that some people would've been horrified at someone delivering a baby but I couldn't find that emotion. All I felt was…

everyone was against you? I have and I felt that only one person would appreciate and love me for the person that I am and the person I’m trying to be. Time and time I’ve tried to make people accept me, I’ve went out of my way to help others but in return nothing. I’ve been neglected, abused, abandoned, and put in foster care, but through it all I still remain humble and still remain positive. I remain so focused and positive only for one little person; whom every day I thank my God for blessing…

become a Marine; while he was leaving I was in Social Studies taking a test. It was Monday, everyone was tired and I just wanted the day to get over with. I was in Social Studies taking a test going over the Revolutionary War. I was finishing the test and in my brain I thought I have this; then I hear on the announcements, “Felicia Jansen please come down to the office. Felicia Jansen please come down to the office.” At first, I thought my mom just forgot I had some type of appointment, no big…

It was June. My grandparents, my parents, my aunt and uncle, my other uncle, three of my cousins, my best friend Olivia, and I were all eating breakfast at Cracker Barrel before we left. We were heading to Orlando, Florida. After breakfast, we all split to our cars and began the long fifteen hour drive. On the way there, my cousin, Joey, got rear- ended. My dad, a mechanic at the time, pulled over. But, they were on the other side of the road and with cars whooshing past he wasn’t going to go…

“Never make a mountain out of a mole hill,” I grew up not understanding what that meant, but now I know. It essentially means that you shouldn’t play with your fate, you never know what could happen or what you could see. I grew up believing depression would never get to me that I would be unaffected by it, but now I know that this is not the case. I used to be told by my father that depressed people were ‘freaks’ or ‘crying out for attention’, but there are many people who suffer in silence,…

America I grew up in the small town of Natchez, Mississippi spending Friday nights on the football field and Saturdays and Sundays in the woods. For a teenager in a town this size, entertainment is extremely hard to come by. Each week is filled with school, homework and practice, but on the weekends, I head to the woods where nothing is ever predictable. Each Saturday and Sunday, I get up early and make my way to the camp. It does not matter if it is turkey, squirrel or deer season, I have…

to obtain a better life? My moment was when I was coming to America and how scary it was to come into a new country where we did not know anyone or spoke the language. Growing up in Mauritania, all I wanted and dreamed about was being able to visit America. It all began on one Saturday night around 10 o’clock PM when everyone in my family was having dinner together. In that moment the phone rang, I rushed to the phone and I heard my mother’s voice. I was listen really hard to make sure that…
