Many things change but how many things change a man? My life has had its ups and downs. There are somethings I have changed to benefit me and those around me and others that have changed me. My life has had many changes in it. Things changing in life is inevitable and adapting is a must. Everything in life can change and living with it is the hard part. The summer after my seventh grade year my parents decided the we should move to California. The worst part of this was that we weren 't moving as a family. My mother, youngest sister, and I would be living with my grandmother in her home in San Diego, California. My parents thought that moving and finding better jobs would help our financial problems. I didn 't want to move because I would …show more content…
Everybody saw me as a loser and when my parents would ask me how things were going I would say that things were going fine. I was gaining more and more weight and was getting depressed but I tried my best not to show it. After a long while I made friends with a classmate in my science class. He helped me out and we started to hangout. As I started hanging out with him his friends became my friends and was getting noticed. I didn 't know it at the time but the group of friends I had were very well liked by everyone and they treated each othe like brothers. They let me join their "crew" & I became a brother. I had finally made some friends and was getting used to my new life and my parents decide we should move back to Dodge City, Kansas. This news sounded great to me. My family would be together again and home and our lives would go back to normal. At least that 's what I thought would happen. When I got back my closest friends I had known since second grade had moved on and made other friends. I got back and had to start all over again. Moving to California and then moving back thought me that something only change temporarily but the move also made me different. I now didn 't trust anyone. I almost never show how I am really feeling. Now I always think of every possible senario with everything. I had to become as much of a "man" as I possibly could meaning I had to mature and act like an adult from …show more content…
My uncle ran the family business in Mexico. The business was a restaurant my grandfather had started and is now presently one of the the most known restaurants in that city. When the news of my uncle passing away reached my family everyone felt miserable and was crying. I knew my uncle but I honestly wasn 't very fond of him. Nevertheless, he was my uncle and I was sorry for his passing but what made me cry was watching my father take the pain of losing his brother. I know he was trying his best not to cry or show it but his pain was too unbearable. When children think of their father they see him as invincible like Superman and when I see my father cry it makes me feel like I am not safe. I feel like there is no hope when I see my father cry and for a child it would be like watching Superman die. I know that it is harsh but I feel like observing my father cry made him weak because before I thought nothing could ever bring down my father but that was a mere image I had made up of him. I have seen my father cry one before my uncle passing away and that was when my grandfather had passed away. My uncle passing away affected the entire family but I think that my family will be the most afftected. The death of my uncle means that now the family restaurant has no one in charge. The morning after hearing the news of my uncles death my father flew to Mexico for the funeral. My father stayed in Mexico for a week attending the funeral and resolving which one of his
A personal change I would like to make is my approach and the response I display to my teammates and the organization. I am a very independent person at work, I tend to be a controlling person in every aspect. However, I am trying to overcome this debilitating trait by learning new techniques and reflecting on the other person’s ideas, comments, efforts and suggestions without taking control. I do complete my task with little or no assistance, but it causes me to be detached, indifferent, and uninvolved from my teammates causing conflicting issues. I do sense a distance between myself and my teammates, but I continue to work hard and remain focus.
The ways that I have changed and adjusted would be my hairstyle, my apparel, my attitude, the way that I act towards others, the way that I speak, and even the way I walk. The other thing that I have changed about myself would be the way that I treat others like being friendly and even the way my friends treat me has also changed in the way they respect me as one of their friends.
changed and that was her belief in me… because of her unconditional love I am the person that I am today… her reassurance and patience made all the difference.

After my eighth birthday, my mother informed me we were moving to Seoul, Korea. I could barely spell that and I was going to be living there for three years. I was not sold on the idea, but I figured time would fly by.
As I reflect on this topic, I think about how the path my life took must be nothing compared to the person sitting next me in my government class. I often wonder if the path they dreamed about growing up changed as much as mine did. Have they had to experience the adversities in life that I have had to? While everyone has his or her own unique trials and tribulations, I realize everything I’ve been through has helped shape me into the person I am today.

It was Friday night, I took a shower, and one of my aunts came into the bathroom and told me that my dad was sick but he was going to be ok. She told me that so I did not worry. I finished taking a bath, and I immediately went to my daddy’s house to see what was going on. My dad was throwing-up blood, and he could not breath very well. One of my aunts cried and prayed at the same time. I felt worried because she only does that when something bad is going to happen. More people were trying to help my dad until the doctor came. Everybody cried, and I was confused because I thought it was just a stomachache. I asked one of my older brothers if my dad was going to be ok, but he did not answer my question and push me away. My body shock to see him dying, and I took his hand and told him not to give up. The only thing that I heard from him was, “Daughters go to auntie...
Change is inevitable, as humans, we transform daily and distinction of who we are can be seen as part of our DNA. But as we change we define who we are. However, it is the type of change that an individual decides to undertake during a certain time frame in their life that is most important to them.

Hi, my name is Rob Geis and I am currently in grade 12. I have been at County High School for a year now; I joined at the start of 11th grade, and have thoroughly enjoyed myself here.

Also Grant, my sister 's boyfriend, is hurt really bad still today. I can not stand seeing many of my loved ones hurt and I do not know how much more people I can lose.
My most life changing experience was when I moved from the sunny skies of North Carolina to The Blizzard, more formally known as Germany in the middle of my second grade year. My Step-Dad was active duty in the military. Of course, he had to drag us with him. He flew out to Germany first so for about three weeks it was just Mom and I . Just about every day Mom would say “Two more weeks till Germany, Tarix”, “One more week till Germany, Tarix” (Rich, Andrea), which I really never took to heart. I was too caught up in deciding what my Barbie was going to wear that day and riding my new tricycle to have time to process her words. Of course ignorance is bliss until
