In life there are constant struggles that define a person and make them who we are. However, it takes years for a house to become a home and that is how life is. It has taken me years to find the truth in my life and it will take me a lifetime to find the truth that lies within me. However, certain moments in my life will always have a lasting impression on me and will shape me into the person that I will become. People say that life is always what you make of it. In life there is always a beginning, middle, and an end. My life begins when my parents had me at the age of eighteen. They were young and in love and were static about having a child. However, they did not expect to have me three months early. They also were never expecting for their child to live since I was born pre-mature. Defying all odds that were against me; I would soon leave the hospital and never come back until the age of four. I remember never being able to sleep at night and constantly being sick when I was at the age of four. My mom noticed one day that my lymph nodes where swollen and that she would soon ...
Life can always change direction. We can have certain obstacles that challenge us. Sometimes this makes us stronger and we can always learn through these times. We always have
Often times events occur in what seems to be mysterious ways to teach an individual a lesson. Choices made when individuals are young, and still growing and developing stick with them. As maturity happens, individuals tend to learn some of the potential consequences they could endure over certain decisions. Life is full of lessons. Life is living to learn how to become better.
A person does not experience many events that shape their life in a large way, whether it be for better or worse. I have had just one major situation that has sculpted me into the person that I am today. In February of 2008, I was diagnosed with a life changing disease; it would relieve me of the agony I had been experiencing for as long as I could remember, but also restrict my diet for the rest of my life.
Life is not defined from one action, but rather from a combination of experience, trial, and failure. This read was very interesting and I would recommend it to anyone, especially to those who can relate to going through trials at this point in their life. Completing your journey is a very important step in your life.
Life does not always happen in the order in which you think it should. I am a single mother of three beautiful children and though my nursing journey happened later in life, it happened at just the right time. I have such a respect for each
Life is a series of experiences in which each one of us grows into the individual we are now. Every move, each word and thought shapes our person.
A life lived seldom turns out the way we wanted or expected it to. But this is as it should be; because it is life's surprises and upheavals, wrong turns and detours, miscalculations and missteps, which make each of us uniquely individual.
I came into this world in August of 1973. I came into this world and entered a family of dysfunction. I was born into a two-parent household with one sister who is 3 years my senior. This should have been a “normal” childhood, but I soon discovered such a thing did not exist.
My mother was diagnosed with cervical cancer at the time, so when she became sick, I had to become her aid. Every day after school, I would have to do my homework and then tend to my ailing mother via giving her medicine ...
At the age of twelve, I was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes. I remember the whole event of my diagnosis. At first, I thought that it was fun to have, because I had no understanding of what diabetes meant. People found out at school, and It gave me a lot of attention. As time progressed, I realized that I would have to eventually give myself shots. It gave me a wake up call. I eventually figured out that I would not be able to get rid of diabetes, because it is permanent. It was not a game, it was real life. I couldn't just turn off the video game and have it be done. Diabetes caused me to grow up really fast compared to most of my friends. I gave myself my first shot at the age of 12 and a half. I had to test my own blood sugar four times
The day before my fifth birthday, Mother became ill. Now I know that it was because we did not have enough food. I remember she always ate last. We went to the local hospital but we were turned away because Father said the sign read 'local residents only.'
My life got stressful on first day of second grade. I remember getting off the bus, eager to tell my parents all about what it felt like to be in second grade. As I walked in the door, I could feel that something was wrong. It was something in the air, a depressing mood. Instead of being greeted by a house of warm response, it was silent. I shouted for my parents and searched around, finally finding them in their bedroom.
People could say that my life is similar to that of a car ride; where there are bumps in the road that can or cannot be avoided; when there are times when the car ride is rough or smooth; when it is lonely or populated with loved ones; and how the car will keep going at different speeds until it has run out of gas. My life has been filled with its typical ups and downs, excitements and fears, and its fair share of accomplishments and failures. I come from a world that I did not want to be a part of, but looking back on it now, I feel that the events I experienced in my past have shaped me into who I am today.
My life is a mixture of moments, some happy moments and others not so much, but regardless, these moments have made me the person that I am today and I don’t regret anything that had happen. I consider myself a strong, and a very determined person, I have dreams to fill the world and I am willing to do the necessary efforts to attain those dreams. My motivations I inherit from my family, more specifically my father that I love so much; I have always
It took roughly twenty seconds to walk from the house across the street, two to unlock the door, and another eight to turn the lights on and walk to my parent’s bedroom in our microscopic home. Therefore, we know it takes about thirty seconds for your whole life to change; to see things that cannot be unseen and to learn things that take years of waking up in cold sweats before finding any relief. No, this is not a story of my repeated childhood trauma nor of the damage it dealt - my biggest lesson in life came in the aftermath. My mom taught me how to sweep it under the rug.
