Over Coming the Worst Day of My Life
Over Coming the Worst Day of My Life

The worst day of my life was the day I learned that my father died. Overcoming the difficulty imposed by that tremendous loss made me stop and think about what life is really about. In the six years sense I have overcome many obstacles. I have learned and experienced things I never thought possible. I remember the absolute worst day of my life the day was Friday, July 20 2007. It was a day that started out as an ordinary day like usual. That was until my grandmother got a call from my mother who told her that my father had gone to bed an hour ago, and had not woken, my mother added that he was as purple in the face, so she had called EMS, and they had just arrived to take him to the hospital. Well, we arrived at the hospital about the same time as the ambulance did. In my mind I can still hear the sirens from the EMS truck. They lead us to a curtained room area where I heard the words that changed my life forever. Although I already knew from the look on the doctor’s face, and from the way he was breathing, that the doctor was going tell my family and I that he was gone. I plugged my ears with my fingers to prevent me from hearing them. Once I pulled my fingers out of my ears, the only things I could hear were screaming, and Crying.

I was in total shock , I kept thinking , in my mind that this was all a terrible , and horrific nightmare , however I soon realized the reality of the situation , and all of a sudden , I became heartbroken , and went berserk! I wasn’t just sad; I was sad and mad at the same time. I was mad at the doctor for reasons that even the doctor couldn’t control, there was nothing he could do anyway. I yelled every filthy and dirty thing word at him that I humanly knew, and being a male I the Karem family is a lot. I cursed the security guards and broke a ceramic plastic case with my fist, and punched a nurse who had just had breast cancer surgery. I finally calmed down, however my heart I was torn

    That was the day that my grandpa passed away. Every single part of that date is engrained in my memory. My parents had driven up to Wisconsin, and my older sister Lauren drove home for college to stay with me. It wasn’t out of the normal for my parents to quickly leave, so I didn’t think much of it. I remember going to hang out with Tatum, my best friend of the time. It was a nice day outside, so of course we were outside playing on the trampoline and doing all our weird routines like we always did. Her family, who was like a second family to me, decided to go out to eat so they brought me along. We went to La Charitas. I remember how Mrs. Teeple pulled out a funny card game for us to play, and I remember Tatum cutting out faces in her tortilla, making us all laugh. When we got back to the house we saw that my sister called, so I said bye to the Teeples and walked one minute down the road to my house. Lauren, who is one of the most emotional in the family, was left with the task of telling me that my grandpa had passed away. I had just grabbed a snack of chocolate cheerios as she started to tell me the news. I didn’t know how to react, so I ran into the basement directly to the furthest corner I could find. Lauren tried talking to me, but I wanted to be by myself. One of the hardest things I have ever done was talking to my dad on the phone after finding out. He called to tell me the plans, that he was coming home to get us, and…

    So I did and I followed my plan as accordingly, but it made a complete left. Other than the unbearable pain I was feeling physically, the pain that I felt emotionally overpowered that and I just felt numb. I looked at my reflection in the stained mirrored and I couldn’t see myself, it was like the young 15-year-old lady that my family has raised to love had been gone. I closed my eyes because I couldn’t dare to look at the stranger that I’ve become. When I opened them I was laid on the bathroom floor, my head was kept elevated by the school nurse, I saw a young girl with a frighten confused face, and I saw men walking around talking into walkie-talkies screaming “Code Blue! Code Blue!” Once they noticed I was awake I was bombarded with questions back to back. My mind was blank, nothing…

    I will remember that day as the day that I will use as an example of why the world needs to change. I remember that day as the moment I can remember to allow myself to cry. I will remember that day as the day I realized what the world had become. I will remember that day as the day I became angry at the world for allowing someone to do something of that sort. I will remember that day as the day I realized how hurt others must feel if I couldn't even hold myself together. I will remember that day as the day I took no pictures and didn’t write about my experience immediately after. I will remember that as the day that I took the harshness of reality in, and realized how much I yearned to change it. I will remember that day as the day that I felt more helpless than ever before. I will remember that day as the day that I sat in an empty car for ten minutes trying to control myself. I will remember that day as the day I will never forget. I will remember that day as the day that broke me, in order to make me. I will remember that day as the start of the story I will tell others when they ask why I am doing what I am doing. I will remember that day as the second most memorable day of my life, the second most emotionally painful day of my life. I will remember that day as the day I decided I will not let the world become worse than it is. I will remember that day…

    I had a neck brace around my neck and IV’s stuck all in my arms. I started to panic, I was lost, confused and scared. My best friend was there in the ambulance trying to calm me down. But still, all I could think about was the reaction of my parents when they found out what happened. Once we got to the hospital, the paramedics took me to Emergency Care. The doctors ran many tests on me: MRI’s, CAT Scans, and X-Rays, whatever test you can name – they ran on me. As I waited for my results, the doctors came in and explained to me what happened. An intoxicated driver with a gun ran the red light and hit me in a head on collision. The driver not only totaled my mother’s car but also totaled his own car too. The good thing was that he was okay. I didn’t know what to be happier about; the fact that the other driver was fine or that the accident was not my fault. Selfish right? But I’m sure if you were me at the time, you would think the same thing.…

    I remember the day just like it was just yesterday. That day started out cold and rainy but I still had to get up with the horrible pain in my stomach to travel to the doctor to find out what was wrong. This pain had been bothering me for almost three weeks and I couldn’t take it anymore. I was scared! Just two months before this my husband and I was told that I had possibly developed Endometriosis with the possibility of not being able to have children. We were told that my ovaries had collected a lot of scar tissue and the conception was impossible until the scarring was removed. Oh and by the way it was the day before my twenty first birthday.…
