Everybody has an event in their life that has helped shaped them or become the person that they are today. Whether it's good or bad, it's something that will stick with you for the rest of your life. My sister has always been someone I looked up to, everything she did I wanted to do. But when I was 10 years old my sister ran away from home and after that day my life changed. Growing up my sister was a trouble maker and would constantly get into fights with my mom. As her younger sister, I would always cover and defend her because I didn't want her to get in more trouble.When she turned 15 years old that's when she meet her boyfriend and he was 19 years old. My mom didn't approve of it because of the such big age gap. So my sister started sneaking out the house, so she can see him. She would pretend to sleep wth me in my room and I would help her sneak out. She was doing this for about 3 weeks when one day she didn't come back. I remember waking up that day, not seeing her in my room, and starting to worry. My mom kept on asking me where she was and I didn't say anything because I thought she would come back sometime that day but she didn't. That's when my mom started freaking out and calling all of her friends to try to find her. …show more content…
From seeing all the stuff my sister did it really helped me realize that I wanted to do better than her when I grow up. Not only for my parents but for myself. I saw how her bad decisions, turned her whole world upside down and I did not want that for myself. I wanted to be the daughter my parents were so proud to tell everyone about. So, once I entered high school I set a goal for myself, do the best I could do and do not let myself make dumb mistakes. My freshman and sophomore year I did not do as well as I would have wanted to do. My grades were not where they should have been but I didn't let that discourage me from giving it my all my junior
My sister is the individual I go to when I require somebody to converse with, the person who is dependably there and recognizes what to say. My more established sister has affected who I am by showing me the estimation of pride and diligent work and like whatever other more seasoned sister she has been a good example. She would wear something blue so there I was attempting to discover something near to that shading and style; even thought she would get distraught. I grew up seeing her desire for mulling over and buckling down. This taught me that through diligent work anything is
The time I accomplished something would have to be ever since I got a job myself, when I told my mom about the job she didn’t like the idea she wanted me to focus on school and helping her out at the house and taking care of my sisters. She wanted me to not worry and just worry about school but I see a lot of people my age working and getting money they earned by working and I got interested myself and for me it didn’t matter where I worked as long as I did.
One thing that really bothers me is how much I changed. I used to play games all day, not focus on school, wouldn't get in serious trouble, and was very innocent compared to my present day self. There are cons and pros of my past self compared to how I am currently. I am more happy of how I am now then I am before. As time changes, so do I and I can not stop that. What’s done has already been done and can’t be changed so you always have to look towards the future and never the past. The past will not definite who you are today unless you let it. I would have never expect that I would be transferred to a continuation high school in my freshman year. It is a bad thing to many people, but I am thankful that I am sent to it because I will learn
During my freshman and sophomore year my grades were not great and there is no excuse for that. During the second month of my freshman year, I was blessed with a beautiful daughter. I spent most of my time taking care of my daughter and working as much as possible to support her, because of it my grades suffered. Although it was tough being stretched so thin when it came to time, I wouldn’t change a thing. Those first two years of college really showed me how to overcome adversity and also how to multitask.
It seems unbelievable my oldest is a few days off being a decade old. I know every parent wonders “where has the time gone?” a multitude of times during their children’s childhoods, but as I realize my son is over halfway to 'adulthood' it seems like the time has flown by.
The struggle of not being able to breathe properly, gasping for air while the fever inside was killing me little by little and my fragile self in the age of four did not know what was happening to me I was brain dead, more like clueless little kid almost having a near death experience of having a seizure that in the end it changed my life and the way I looked at it because God gave me another chance to actually prove to him that I can be someone in my life and grateful to be alive today knowing that I have family that actually loves me for who I am.
My family isn’t as great as I thought it was. My father’s side of the family has some weird past. My future has changed because none of my older relatives got far in education. My brother was the first family member to go to college. It really opened my eyes and made me realize who I am.
Some people, some great people deserve to live forever, or at least die in a worthy or in a fulfilling way. I just got the short end of the bargain, I just got one of the worst things on this earth, cancer. Anyone can get the disease, but the way I see it, it seems unfair and unruly that pure souls could end up with a painful and undeserving demise. Unfortunately, I was one of those pure souls.
Growing up my parents were always strict with both my sister and I. When I was younger my parents would never allow me to misbehave. Whenever I did misbehave my parents would punish me by either sending me to my room by myself or lightly slapping my hand they never got too violent with me they mostly scolded me whenever I did something out of line. During my early school years, my parents tried their best to help me with my studies however because they were not fluent in English they always had someone who was come and help me with my schoolwork. My mother and father never ignored my progress in school. Never once did they miss a parent-teacher conference they always made sure I did my work accurately and on time.
Pulling with all her might, as the cold, frigid winds and rain soaked her clothing, the latch finally freed, allowing her to sit upon the cold wooden throne. Yes, this was the infamous outhouse, just one of many stories revealed by my mother as she explained her childhood experiences so many years ago, well not that long ago. This paper will provide an insight into the many challenges and obstacles my mom has endured at such a young age, more than most people face in a lifetime. Such stories are very spiritually uplifting and will provide a broader scope of how I view life. She is truly an inspiration to us all.
Because of it she would tell me she would come to see me but rarely did. I grew used to being disappointed by her and it came to be expected. So when my sister was in town staying with my mom, I still rarely got to see her. I missed her because I loved her a lot and we were very close.
During my life, I have learned many things that I’m either expected to do or know. My family and friends have impacted my life in multiple ways that have shaped me as a person over time. These values that my family has taught me has made me the person I am today and most likely the person I will be for the rest of my life.
In addition, I would qualify myself as a good sister because I have helped influence how my sisters have evolved into great people. Siblings have a huge influence on how each other’s personality develops and help to mold them as a person. According to Jeffrey Kluger, a writer for TIME, there has always been an argument regarding what is actually the most influential in shaping an individual. Many scientists believe our parents or even our genes are what shapes us the most. Kluger concluded that scientists are starting to believe our siblings are actually the greatest influence in the molding...
The most important event in my life, didn’t even happen to myself, but happened to my older sister, Becky. The reason I am writing about her is because the things that have happened to her and the things she has done in the past have affected me tremendously as well as my family. Her life used to be filled with nothing else but drugs, stealing, and lying. My family has never been the same since then.
My sister is important to me in a numerous amount of ways. She has taught me to be truthful, kind and to never loose faith. Through her I’ve learned to have self-confidence in all that I do or I won’t limit to half of the things I am capable of. I am very thankful that she is a part of me because I know without her I wouldn’t be who I am today. She has helped mold me into the person I have become. I learn from her that making good choices is one of the most important things in life, no matter the situation. Every moment I have with ...
