Little Experience Research Paper
Everyone in their childhood will always have an experience that sticks to them. There’s experiences people can have that can completely changed them. For some people, the experiences were positive and for the others, they were negative. No matter how drastic the change was, the little experiences can also greatly impact someone.

I was about 6 years old, clueless as ever. Being as little as I was, I don’t quite remember how I felt at that time. When I started getting older, is when I finally began to understand it. I didn't have the perfect family like everyone else did. I

    Our experiences and the way we react to them shape who we become. Dwelling on a particular event will not help us succeed in life; whether the event be positive or negative. “Turn your mind from the ship, child. It is nothing but a rotting carcass in the grass. The carcass has shocked you with its stink and its flies. But you have walked past it, already, and now you must keep walking” (122).

    When most people think about a significant experience as something like; studying abroad, taking vacations, or meeting new people. Now while I have met many types of people and traveled quite a bit, none of these experiences have been nearly as significant to me as my childhood. I lived in a small, falling apart, purple house in the heart of Bessemer that was perfect because it is all we could afford. This house and neighborhood forced me to be resourceful and it taught me that nothing in my life is going to come without hard work. Those lessons crafted me into the industrious, diligent, and determined person that I am today.…

    Today’s technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate. However, as tech focused companies continue to profit and expand, their emphasis on innovation for the masses diminishes. Manufacturers are expected to release one or more new flagship products every year, in turn implicating an incentive to place aside supporting older generations in favor of quarterly profits. Planned obsolescence is the idea of a consumer product being purposely made with the intent of being replaced and becoming obsolete. Ultimately, my question would be whether planned obsolescence is a necessary step in the advancement of technology.…

    I remember the day well. I was just finished with school for the year and sitting on the front step, the top half of me laying back on the porch, just staring. I was thinking about the small house my mother worked so hard for us to get and keep. We lived in row housing just outside Juneau Alaska. All of the houses were small and I always thought to myself, “Is this the life I am destined for?” My mind wondered as I looked up at the clouds and squinted because of the sun.…

    “You know what I mean?” My girlfriend slowly shook her head yes. “Mine was September 25th 2013. It was a great day I had student council after that I had biology where we were doing an experiment to see what colors and pens termites would follow. I had biology right before lunch. Mr. Faulkner got a call saying I was going too get checked out. I thought that I was going out to lunch. My dad was there. It was unusual but I still was excited because I was leaving. The drive was silent and awkward. You could brush the awkwardness from your face. I remember thinking someone died. We picked up my sister then went home.” I remember hearing the words “your mom and I are getting a divorce” my father said. It hit me like a gun shot. My girlfriend was nodding along the whole time. This was the first time I truly talked about it with anyone. My coffee was gone and the rain was steadier. There I was shivering in the hottest place I have been. The humidity did not help it not only was it freezing but your clothes grew cold as they stuck to you. You could hide from the rain but it made the humidity cold and there was no place to hide from the humidity. I was shivering as my girlfriend shared her story. It was eye opening to me. Even though I knew I was not the only one whose parents are divorced but listening to another divorce story a reality. It was like it the world was lifted off my shoulders.…

    Whether their memories are positive or negative, they will all take an impact on how you will become as a person. It has been stated in the Identity Theory and I believe that the theory is correct based on my own personal life. I had a difficult childhood growing up, but those experiences have taught me to be the person I am. My bullying has caused a large injury to my childhood, but learning my lessons on how to fight back and be an advocate changed the person I become. I am an avid fighter for justice and doing the right thing. Thus, I believe it is completely reasonable to change your identity based on the experiences you have and will experience in your…

    At the age of ten, my mother told me that she was leaving my father. I wasn't sad; in fact it was a relief. My house was always in constant chaos. My sister, my mother, and I faced the aggressive side effects of my father's addiction. I grew up watching my dad treat my family like nothing, as if he was in constant control of us and he was the only person that mattered.
