This is a reaction paper i did for my speech class and the purpose was to inform someone about a time in my life that really affected me. there is no title for it. enjoy :D
Someone once said, Missing someone gets easier everyday because even though you are one day further from the last time you saw them, you are one day closer to the next time you will. Have you ever been with someone that you loved so much, only to see them being pulled away not because they want to, but because they had too? I did and I regret ever experiencing it. My purpose for this essay is to inform you on that heart wrenching day when I lost the love of my life.

My love life in the past was pretty average for a teenage girl. Had a few boyfriends, most of them did not last that long. But of course there is always that one guy that takes your breath away. His name is Manuel. He puts the twinkle in my eye, the one that makes my heart skip a thousand beats, the one that makes me feel protected when I'm around him. Our relationship was rocky in the beginning, but we managed to pull through it. The relationship was young, only been dating for 9 months, but it felt like i knew him forever. But like the saying goes " Good things must come to an end".

In any mutual partnerships, there are its ups and downs. Everyone gets into little petty arguments or discussions that they try to avoid. i still remember "The talk" all too well. It was in the summer before I began my junior year of high school. At that time he was finishing up at Broward Community College and recently received his acceptance letters from Berkley, NYU, and UF. That same day he called me and all I could hear was the excitement in his voice so of course I was happy for him. Then after all the laughing and screaming, his serious side started to show. I never really liked that part of him.

During the conversation, he did all of the talking. I mostly listened. I really did not have that much to say to him about his decision. Of course he chose NYU and he kept bragging on how good there buisness program were. I voiced my opinion like any other person which led into a big argument. I wanted the best for him,

    We finally moved to North Carolina and I was devastated. I felt like I had to leave behind all of the friends I had just started formulating deeper bonds with. I felt like I had to start over from scratch with making friends and I missed Khalif; and finding out that he contacted me the night before we moved and I missed his call, didn't make things any easier. I never told him I was moving when I found out. I figured since we wasn’t together anymore, why bother. He found out my last day of school because my best friend and I were crying, and another student went back and told him. He approached me before the day was over, and wanted to know why I didn’t tell him I was moving. After we talked, he gave me a hug. I didn’t expect him to try to contact me that night. I didn’t find out he had called until my family and I were well in NC and I checked the caller ID box.…

    I never thought me, of all people, would experience such a sorrowful day. I have tried to forget it time and time again; but the reality is I will always remember every miniscule detail, moment, word, and facial expression on that particular day. My heart managed to shatter into a million pieces, leaving me without a reason to pursue my existence. My salty tears freely rolled down my warm cheeks, causing my eyes to burn sensationally. I remember mourning on the comforting shoulders of my family members, as they too were consumed by their feelings. The most valuable lesson that beared a reservation in my spirit was to cherish every moment and loved one, for tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone. I wish I could have fathom this reality before the climactic tragedy struck me like a ton of bricks. Although death is normal, it seemed almost foreign when it abducted the life of my favorite uncle.…

    Sometimes in life we find ourselves searching to replace or relive those moments or people that have played integral parts of our lives. These moments, for whatever reason, have a hold on us. They’ve left a yearning deep within us that won’t be quenched until we experience something or someone that feels just as good. However, the sad truth is that sometimes we waste our whole lives searching for that thing that probably will never be again and miss the preciousness of every moment thereafter.…

    Our relationship began like very few relationships do, on Facebook. In June of 2009, after I had been accepted into a Fall 2009 freshman class, a boy said hello in a message and a 4-page paper could not even touch the surface of our relationship in those past 2 years, but I will do my best to explain as much as possible. Over the next few months, the relationship evolved from Facebook messages, to the live chat, until he finally asked me for my number and the texting began. Then one summer day, my phone rang, and we had our first telephone conversation, although sparked due to a drunken impulse from the mystery man on the other end. Over the span of a few months, I learned so much about this future classmate of mine, from his music taste, to his life in Southern California, and much more. I’m not sure if I’m proud or not of how well versed I am in the subject of Computer Mediated Communication. However, no matter how I feel about our introduction and first spoken words, I would certainly say since the day I got that first Facebook message, the relationship with this boy has been nothing less than interesting.…

    When reading I came across some interesting non-fiction story and letter written by well known authors. They were all good but there was two that I had the most reaction to. When I came across these two letters I felt like I had a connection with the author. The letter Salvation by Langston Huge, when I read could relate to it cause I to come from a christen background, and in the story by Lam about his mother I felt like keeping family tradition should always remain I a person life. So I thought it would be good to explain my reaction in detail by stating the strategies, themes and what makes these non-fiction stories.…

    How will you feel when you lose your beloved ones? How will you react toward the sense of emptiness? In Linda Plastan’s To a Daughter Leaving Home (1988) Ben Jonson’s On My First Son (1616), both poems reveal the true feeling and reaction that we will have when we lose the person we love very much. The reason why they attract me is because the feeling is so simple, yet it truly happens in our life, and the poets just describe them in an insightful way.…

    happening. It all felt like a terrifying nightmare that I couldn’t wake up from. I feel such resentment towards myself because I never had a chance to say goodbye to tell her “I love you” one last time. She passed away at three o’clock a.m. by my mother’s side, though I wish I was there as well. The guilt, hurt, and pain still tears through me to this day, though I know she wouldn’t have wanted me to feel this way, it’s difficult not to. I had lost the most important person to me and I don’t think that anyone can understand what a huge impact she was on my life.…

    The following day, we were given an extra time in class to just relax. But a couple of minutes ago we were given an assignment to have a pair presentation on the following week. As I looked around he's the only guy I think who is dependable so I ask him if he could be my partner and he says, Yes. I ask for his name and he says I'm Bao. We decided to plan our presentation in lunch time at the library. We exchange information to each other which turns to a rather personal questions I found out that we have a lot of things in common yet we have different approach. I told him that in order to achieve something greater you need to give up something, trying to persuade him to do the same. He looked at me with confuse face and said, "Why do you have…
