Defining Moment Short Story
A life defining moment: My Story
I won’t forget the day I met Tina Gorsuch who serves as my Mentor and Employer. It was a rainy day and I had finished my classes but was disillusioned about life. I had nowhere to go so I decided to go to a Pub and drink to stupor. As I walked towards my Car, I felt this empty feeling that made me distraught. I was to accompany my Sister to see her Dentist the next day so I just managed to stumble home. The night was uneventful as I kept gazing at the Stars and wondering what the future held.
The next day, when I walked into the Dentistry, I noticed a glow and charm about this lady. She was professional in all she did and we started talking on issues that had to do with my life. I still do not know why she picked

    Folkway Violation

    The next day I was getting ready to leave for class when she walked in the backdoor. She had brought home a few groceries so I helped her carry them up the stairs. It was then I began to ask her about her day at work. She first began to tell me how she had a rough day because some of her co workers came in late. She wasn’t in the best mood but I still kept inching closer. After about thirty seconds she gave a confused look and awkwardly began backing up. I couldn’t help but to laugh at the look she gave me. I started explaining that it was an experiment for my sociology class and it wasn’t until then that she found humor in the situation. We laughed together for a few seconds and she asked me why did I choose her? I told her that I knew she would give the most honest response.…

    Personal Narrative: Joining The Military

    It was about seven in the evening and I got a call from my friend, letting me know she and her grandmother had made it home. Her grandmother is in her 60’s, so there wasn’t much texting going between us. I’d been trying to catch up with her all day to interview her, but I guess she had a very busy weekend. I finally arrived to the house just ready to get the interview over with.…

    Play Doh Reflection

    My most profound moment during my trip was when we were leaving to go back to Vancouver, a little girl Yosemarie smiled and whispered “Gracias!” Ever since I left, “Gracias!” has remained a constant reminder that I want to find a professional job that will allow me to serve others. The thought that just by teaching Yosemarie English, she was grateful fulfilled my internal satisfaction and made me realize that I want to be a pediatric dentist. I also realized how important dentists are to societies around the world because the meaning of a warm smile is the same…

    My Defining Moment

    As a child, looking at the world, everything seemed big and scary. Naturally, most children would dive into the new world with fresh eyes and contentment, but I would always stay back. I would think things through and consider consequences before acting irrationally. My friends would always do things with spontaneity while I would get left behind sitting alone shrouded by my fear. As life gradually moved on, I grew to overcome my fears and not overanalyze situations with the help of a few moments in my life.…

    remember an event

    May 20th, 2013 was the day that I will remember for the rest of my life. It was just like a regular school day with a sunny weather and a brief vibe from the morning breeze. As I got out of my car in parking lot 30, I realized that it was a horrible decision to stay up so late last night. I felt so tired and regretful for my decision. After sips and sips of my coffee from Starbucks, I felt more energized, and all of a sudden the dark cloud just automatically cleared out of my mind. After hours of talks about ideas of nurture vs. nature, I was finally done with the day. As I walked out of the University Lecture Hall, my mind was filled with the idea of going to the post office to pick up my newly ordered contact lenses that I was so excited about for days. But, I had no idea of what was going to happen throughout the rest of my day. My car was crashed on the 60 east freeway. I was so desperate and I thought I was going to fall off of the freeway, but in the matter of fact, I am still living and breathing right at this moment.…

    types of speeches

    No matter where your career takes you, at some point you'll engage in conversation with a business partner, a client or a customer about a previous job, an unusual experience or even your family. It will be your opportunity to "wow" them with a good story. In this assignment, let's pretend that you're in that situation, and you want to wow us with a good story! This speech is simply a well told story or event from your life. It should be interesting, it can be entertaining - but ultimately, I want it to be a story that you're familiar with and enjoy telling. Treat us as if we were friends at a round-table discussion, and you want to tell us something that you know we'll enjoy.…
