My life changed on June 5, 2011 little did I know that this day my whole world would get turned upside down by the biggest mistake of my life. That after so much I had to go through just to get to this point in my life, has been the biggest obstacle I have ever had to overcome. So much blood, sweat, and tears have come from my experience, but now I have overcome it and turned my life back around and got on track after my dilemma. I will never forget the day I evaded my arrest. On June 5, 2011 I was driving in my Nissan 350Z with a friend, his name was Mando, and we were riding down Valley Mills coming off the bridge heading towards Waco Drive. It was about 10:30p.m., I had two cars on both of my sides, a little, red Honda Civic on my right …show more content…
Then I and the other eight men in my cell were all called in before the judge to get a bail. We all got our phone call, so I called my mom and had to tell her where I was at, but all she was concerned about was what I had done so I told her I had evaded arrest. She asked “Did you have drugs on you?” “No,” I replied, “Were you drunk?” “No,” I replied again and she finally said, “I’m coming to get you” and hung up. I then went back to my cell as I waited for my mom to get there, then they went to get me from my cell to let me know that I had made bail and that my mom was there. Next thing you know I saw my mom and my dad there and they told me to get into the truck and we had a talk about what happened, and we decided on what we needed to do. Well, the first step was to get an attorney, so I got my attorney and went to court three times was sentenced a $1,000 fine, three years of probation and three-hundred hours of community service. So I paid my fine, and then had to pay a minimum of $60 a month for probation and started it in January of 2012. I then completed my three-hundred hours of community service in March of 2013, and got approved for early release from probation because I was responsible for my consequences and was on good behavior so they released me from probation in October
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.
Have you ever had the most important day of your life or the worst that has made an enormous impact on you? Well these people have also had something very a huge impact in their lives and others as well.
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), which I 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. Ignorance was bliss until the movers came to our house and packed up all my memories into big brown boxes. The night before
I woke up to the sound of my cousin screaming and ran into the living room to witness the second airplane crash into the World Trade Center. I remember my heart racing, my body feeling numb, and my mind jumping into a state of fear and shock. It was the day I realized that life should never be taken for granted. I watched as the first responders risked their lives to save others. I witnessed the love for humanity as they displayed it through their actions of courage. This experience ignited a fire in me to do the same
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.
Now I am rewriting my essay to tell you how quickly my life changed from one day to the next. This September, I received a phone call from one of my longtime friends
I barely got to see this woman since she was more into the bar scene and no longer wanted to grow up in a bar atmosphere. One late night I was watching TV downstairs with my mother watching Family Guy and my mom was smoking a cigarette in the backyard. There was a loud knock at the door and a red and blue light flashing in the window. I was scared since I can tell that it was probably the police behind the door. I answered the door and there was two police officers at the door. They asked if my mom was home and I got asked her to come to the door. The officer’s asked me to have my dad come to get me and wouldn’t say anything to me since I was a minor at the time. In about 20 minutes my dad came and the officer was explaining the situation to him. Apparently couple hours ago someone broke into the next door neighbors house and stole a turkey from the fridge in the house. The police showed up in matter of minutes and saw the suspect with the stolen turkey. Suspect dropped the turkey on my mom’s back porch and ran from the cops. The reason the cops were arresting my mother because it was my mom’s friend from the bar and wouldn’t give her name to the cops. They handcuffed my mom and put her in the back of the patrol car and read her Miranda Rights. My dad took me to his house for the night and knew I had to live with my dad full
July 7th was the day everything changed. I changed and six other people changed. I don’t know if we changed for the better but we definitely changed.
January 1st I packed myself my 2 year old daughter and most of our belongings into a new home. I never would have guessed that in approximately two and a half years I would have been getting a divorce from the person who I had been so in love with just a few years earlier. Someone who I had built a home with, someone who I had spent the last 7 years of my life with had a child and raised a step child as my own with.
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.
At the end of my junior year of high school, I was on cloud 9 entering my senior year, getting my license, going to prom, and other school events. But as they say, everything great comes to an end and on May 4th My mom kicked me out over disagreeing with me on medical care choices. Throughout the next week, authorities and DCF got involved. By May 8th DCF sent me into emergency custody and removed from the family and home I had known and grown comfortable with for 17 years. I had scarcely any clothes or hygiene products. For the first night DCF placed into
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.
Throughout life I have had many memorable events. The memorable times in my life vary from being the worst times in my life and some being the best, either way they have become milestones that will be remembered forever. The best day of my life was definitely the day that I received my drivers’ license. This day is one of the most memorable because of the feelings I had when I received it, the opportunities that were opened up for me and the long lasting benefits that I received from it that still exist today.
I can still remember the day my life changed forever. I am a single mother of two children struggling with income. Life has been a constant struggle since my husband left me. I was not only in depression, but I was a gambling addict. I bought a lottery ticket every week in hopes of winning and not having to declare bankruptcy to pay off some loans. I never had any luck until the day I will always remember: December 11th.
The end result, probation, court cost, and a record. My mother could no longer handle me and I ended up living with my dad. Living with my father changed me in so many ways. It put me in an uncomfortable position to get to know a man that I didn't know. He did teach me some things like changing brakes, being accountable, hard work ethic and focusing on my education. Although things were positive there were times where I faced verbal abuse. At times, it felt like a drill sergeant and I was in boot camp. My father was in the military and did everything in precision. So imagine you are in high school and your day starting at 6 am and not ending at 10 pm. I was in complete isolation from all my friends and all family members. I spent a lot of time myself and often was depressed. The verbal abuse would tear me down emotionally, and I head in my anger towards my father. Eventually, I had enough and I decided to leave my father's house. But it wasn't easy, my father would not let me leave. My mother reached out to my father explained to him that I wanted to leave. The conversation ended up in a mess and my father threatened that I couldn't leave. My mom gave me a cell phone and I hid it under my bed. One night my mom called me after my father left for the night and told me to pack my things. With the county sheriff, I was escorted to my mother's
