I think everyone has a moment in their life, in which it changes the direction of their whole life. In my case, I have a few, but the one moment that has changed my life the most was my parents getting divorced. That was a moment that basically changed my outlook on life and directed me in a different direction than before. Today, looking back I have found out a lot more about the divorce and have realized some things. There is one event from the ruckus of the divorce that I found out more and everything made sense afterwards, this event sticks out in my mind. I was eight and my brother was five, two kids who had no idea what was going on with our parents. We had not seen our dad in weeks since we came back from a family trip to Hawaii without him. We have been staying with family members here and there and missing lots of school, which was not a bad thing to us. Our life had been chaos and there is one moment from that chaos that has been burnt into my head and thinking about it now it breaks my heart. It was a bright and sunny …show more content…
As it turns out my dad had bipolar disorder and a week or two before he had threatened my mom and she feared for our safety which is why we bounced from my aunt’s house to my grandparent’s house frequently. During that week my mom had got a restraining order which is why she had the scared look on her face when she opened the door but later told me she was thankful the cop was there. My dad had wanted to get some of his stuff and had brought the cop with him because of the restraining order. My dad’s appearance is what is burnt into my head. I knew he looked “sick” but did not exactly know what he was sick with and the bald head threw me off. My dad never, in his right mind, would ever do that. After my mom had told me and my brother to leave I knew it was bad and that things were not the
Can you single out just one day from your past that you can honestly say changed your life forever? I know I can. It was a typical January day, with one exception; it was the day the Pope came to St. Louis. My brother and I had tickets to the youth rally, and we were both very excited. It was destined to be an awesome day- or so we thought. The glory and euphoria of the Papal visit quickly faded into a time of incredible pain and sorrow, a time from which I am still emerging.
Everyone has a special event that determines our life journey. This event can give us identity, happiness or even pain and sadness. The special event that changed my life was deciding to play basketball because basketball helped me find peace, happiness and gave me identity. When I was ten years old my grandfather succumbed to cancer. His death created hatred inside of me.
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.
There are various changes that can occur in an individual’s life. Some variations are very little and would not affect your lifecycle very greatly. Nevertheless, other events could be very significant and could change a person’s entire life, such as marrying, giving birth to the baby, or losing someone special. The important event that transformed my life is coming to the United States of America to get education and to study. When I first arrived in this country, I comprehended that an incredible change would happen in my life both mentally and physically. After living more than one year in the United States, I definitely believe that moving to the United States is an advantageous change for me. This change offers me an opportunity to live a healthy lifestyle as well as a new way of thinking that are significant for me and the most importantly it provided me a better education in a simple way.
Most people can say they have experienced a life-changing or a surreal moment or event that seems to stop even time itself. Moments like these can change your entire perception of life events and may also tweak your personality.
I strongly believe everyone has the turning point of life.It might change the way you see the world depends on what you have been through. In the same way, Moving to Florida is my huge turning point and can be compared to a new journey waiting to be explored. I completely changed myself in a positive way because of this journey has taught the magnificent lesson that I would never learn in my country.
Everyone has had that one moment, or maybe a couple. The moment when their life changes forever, the moments when they know they will never be the same person they were yesterday. These moments are turning points that play a large role in a person’s identity.
Many events have occurred in my life, although a few have changed my life to how it is today. Growing up I realized how moving to Canada, coming to Milton and getting a baby sister are moments which have had a significant impact on my life. They showed me a completely different atmosphere, got my work recognized and made me more mature, thus, helping me get countless new opportunities and responsibilities.
After reviewing my life, I have decided my life defining moment was when my family and I moved to Texas from Oklahoma. I consider this move my life changing moment because it changed so many things in my life. This move set the stage for an entirely new life for me. Moving six hours away from the only home I knew certainly called for many changes.
It was the last Saturday in December of 1997. My brother, sister, and I were chasing after each other throughout the house. As we were running, our parents told us to come and sit down in the living room. They had to tell us something. So, we all went down stairs wondering what was going on. Once we all got down stairs, the three of us got onto the couch. Then, my mom said, “ Well…”
Looking back on my relatively short life of only twenty one years, it is hard to pinpoint any event that has such a significant impact on my life. Mostly because at this point, not much really can happen that occur in a short hour long time span. Most likely contributed to the fact that 90% of my life has been spent in school. So coming up with something that is not commonly experienced is not the easiest. But luckily enough, an event that may fit that description happened almost a year ago.
Many pivotal moments appear in a human beings life to change the way that individual thinks. All human experiences shape the way a person becomes. The death of my 20 year old second cousin changed my perspective on life. It was not because he was close to me or had a huge impact on my life, but because such a young life ended so suddenly. I got to experience how that impacted and even changed certain people. I came to the realization that all those stories on the news actually happen to real life people. These stories seem so unimaginable, but from that point on, I realized that anything can happen to anyone in the simple blink of an eye. I learned that although every human envisions certain things to occur in their lifetime, many aspects cannot
Everyone has a story, a pivotal moment in their life that started to mold them into the person they are today and may even continue to mold you to the person that you will become, I just had mine a little bit earlier than others. When I was three years old my brother became a burn survivor. It may seem too early for me to remember, but I could never forget that day. Since then, I have grown, matured and realized that what my family and I went through has been something of a benefit to be and an experience that has helped me in deciding what I want to do with the rest of my life.
Over the course of my life, my opinions and views on different things have changed over time. These experiences have shaped the way I think about certain things, and have affected my actions in a positive way. As seen in my life, your views on things and your actions can be changed at any time, but you need to take away the most you can, and apply it to your live so you can be stronger in different places were others
One moment—that’s all it takes for your entire world to change. My mom had decided that she, my sister and I would move to Mexico. This change meant I would have to adjust to a new school, make new friends, and acclimate myself to an entirely different culture. The United States was all I knew. As a result of that experience, I grew in many ways that I was not able to anticipate before we began this journey, but which helped make me the person I am today. I learned valuable lessons living in Mexico. Living in another country taught me that once I opened myself up to change, I could embrace a whole new set of experiences I might not have had otherwise. As a result, I have become a more creative individual with a broader perspective - one who can think outside the
