These events have played important roles in my life and have made me the individual I am today. I chose to create a symbolic representation of these events in the form of a flower. I believe this is a great way to demonstrate my experiences throughout my life. The petals on the bottom of the flower demonstrate the foundation of my experiences and as one looks to the petals towards…

I was twelve years old when mom died on the hospital bed. Her pale, lifeless skin resembled the snow that was gently falling outside. Beside me, my sister’s lithe body trembled. My dad was next to my dead mom’s side, his hands tightly clasping hers. His eyes were bloodshot red from all the crying he did that morning.
