Three Life Events
Life Events My three life events are, my godmother passed away, I've broken my wrists, and I started working with my dad. These experiences are good and bad. When my godmother passed away , that was a sad day to remember. Also the day that I broken my wrists, It was painful but good. And working with my dad was a really good experience. In life experience can be good and bad but there is always a way to get in one and to get out of one. Having broken wrists it's hard to do things and it's hard to heel. I was riding my bike to my school for fifth grade registration. I saw one of my friends at my school. Her mom asked if she can take my mom to my house. I was riding my bike home. I wanted to beat them to my house. I was going really

    Throughout the past year I have endured several life changing occurances. One of my family members troubled through the treturous stages of cancer and unfortunately has passed at this time. If I have taken anything away from this, it is that family is the most important resource in a persons life. Without those people who tell you that you can, regardless of the circumstances, becoming succesful could be very challenging. After clearing my head, I was able to start thinking of a career choice that would make me enjoy going to work. I encountered an opening at a local CVS/Pharmacy as a Pharmacy Technician and applied. After being hired, I immediately fell in love with the surroundings, the people, the patient interaction, and the knowledge…

    We have an Injury!” Finally, it was dead ball and I could finally hobble off the court to our bench. I had tears streaming out of my eyes like a waterfall when my mom came to assist me. She wanted me to take off my shoe so I started to when suddenly Aysia’s mom told me not to because it would swell up even more than it already was. So then I sat on the bench and patiently waited for our game to finish. The next day I missed school to go and get x-rays and crutches. The crutches were extremely hard to use because I didn’t know how to swing my body with the crutches but eventually I learned. After a prolonged time I received my x-rays and it turns out I had a hairline avulsion fracture so for the next two months I would be stuck in a walking boot and eventually move on to a brace. Now that I have had this experience happen to me I know to now always be careful while…

    The first event that I choose was graduating high school. The reason I choose this event and experience is because no one in my family had ever graduated high school. My mother, father, nor my brother ever got a high school education. Although, my mother and father never married I can remember them both saying that they didn’t finish high school. My father got a GED but my mother still to this day doesn’t have either a high school diploma or GED. My brother just quit school at the age of 17 and took to the streets. So this was very important ordeal for me. I can also remember other family members say that I wasn’t going to graduate high school or I would come up pregnant while in high school because my circumstances was different than everyone in the family. I proved them all wrong and graduated high school without becoming pregnant and most of the one’s that was downing me their kids ended up pregnant in high school and didn’t graduate high school.…

    I am a communicator because everyday single day I ask questions and talk to people. Mostly questions to teachers because sometimes I don’t get it, but sometimes my friends because they might be confusing. One of my goals is to not wait until the last minute to do all my homework because sometimes there are a lot and I won’t be able to finish it in time unless I stay up extremely late. In order to avoid doing that, I will always ask my siblings or parents to keep reminding me to do my homework until it’s no longer a habit. My other goal is to be a better thinker because sometimes the best way to understand the question is to think deeply. My third goal relates to my first one and that is to always do my homework. Most of the time I’m very lazy and I don’t want to get out of bed just to do homework so I just leave it there. I will begin changing that goal by telling my brother, my sister, my mom, or my dad to keep…

    My event began years before the actual event occurred. My stepson had been diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder when he was seventeen years old. He was also exhibiting the signs of alcoholism, which ran in the family. His biological father had died from cirrhosis of the liver at the age of thirty seven years old. His mother and I were both recovering addicts, and argued constantly over whether we should use tough love (me) or enable him (her). I was just his stepfather; she was his mother so I would always follow her lead eventually. Over the next thirteen years he abused alcohol and would steal from us or his sisters to get his alcohol, or to drive our cars without permission. He ended up in prison numerous times for violating his probation, so much so he was on a first name basis with the correction officers at the county prison. The event happened on December fourteenth, 2005. I was awakened at five thirty A.M. by the warden of Lancaster County Prison, and notified that my son had committed suicide in his cell at four A.M. by hanging himself. I went into hysterics immediately and handed the phone to my wife who also lost it. I don’t remember much of that day except that it was our sons thirty first birthday, and that he surely wouldn’t have killed himself on this day, but he had.…

    “Run! You got this Hannah!”, shouted my dad. Hearing him cheer me on urged me to play tougher, run faster, kick the ball harder. I passed to one of my teammates, she scored, and the crowd went wild. I turned towards my dad and saw his smile explode across the field making me feel like the utmost adored person in the world. This was my junior year. It has been three months since my father abruptly died. I spent time with him on Sunday and he was gone on Monday. I felt desolate, heartbroken, and resentful. I could have succumbed to my sadness or even gone insane, but I elected to go on. If my dad were alongside me now, he would say, “Hanzie, you’ve been through enough to know that life’s not fair. It will never be fair. Push through it, and you’ll be okay.”…

    The first of the six life events that have had a profound effect on me is the the death of my younger sister, Pam. She was two, and I was four. I do not recall all the details, but I do recall the day she passed, my mother’s reaction and my sister’s funeral. I remember touching her leg, it was cold, and I was very sad. She was wearing a blue dress, with a black ribbon. The second event is the first time I witnessed my father physically and verbally abusing my mother, I was five. I was terrified, and did not know what to do. I told no one. Although I loved my father, I never looked at him the same. The third event is the realization at the age of four, in kindergarten that I was different from the other that students in my class. I was the…

    A big event that has changed my life was when my older brother moved away to go to the navy. This changed my life cause I did not know if I was ever going to see him again. When he told me he was leaving and not going to be back for awhile i thought he was leaving because of me, I was a little brat back then so yeah and at the age i was i thought everything was my fault. The day my brother left was probably the saddest thing to ever happen because me and him would always hang out and play video games or walk around town or do something fun. I remember when we dropped him off at the airport i was clinched on to his leg and i was refusing to let go because I didn’t want him to leave. Now that i look back on it i think one of the reasons why i didn’t want him to leave is because he was kinda like my best friend/ role model so yeah and well he is my older brother and I didn’t want anything to happen to him.…

    The one event that majorly impacted my life was the first mission trip I went on with my school, Indian Rocks Christian School. Every May the school sends teams of students and teachers to different places around the world, from right nearby in Florida to the other side of the world in Thailand. My ninth grade year I got the chance to travel to and spend a week working in Guatemala, with children, adults, and some time working construction, and it changed my view on life greatly. I met so many amazing people, and wonderful children, but I also saw another side of how people live and it opened my eyes. While in Guatemala, I was in a small group who were given the opportunity to visit families who the church helped. Their houses were barely held…

He would to tell me stories about some of the training missions that he went on, about how he and his unit would play war games with the Navy seals. He would tell me stories about some of the actual missions he was on, some of the places he had been, and some of the things that he had seen. The one thing that he never told me was how the military changed his life. Little did I know that beginning on September 16, 2002 my life would begin to change forever.…
