Experiences? How can some experiences influence a person’s life so drastically, while others do not leave a hint of dust? I myself have had one of those experiences that has changed my life, a heart condition. This condition has made me jump over various problems since I was born. From heart surgeries to activities I could not participate in, these obstacles has transformed me into someone who can take on numerous tasks without becoming stressed, I hope to continue to be that type of person in the future. My heart condition started the day I was born, July 8, 1998. Born at the Scottsdale Shea Hospital. The nurses and doctors examined me to make sure I was a healthy baby boy. However, they realized I had a leaky pulmonary heart valve that …show more content…
Playing outside, getting into cabinets around the house, and messing with our cats. At this point in my life I was still a little nervous about going to my cardiologist and the hospital, but at such a young age most kids are afraid of the doctor and hospital. Every appointment I went to in my early elementary school years I would become extremely nervous. Arriving at the waiting room I would wait with thoughts rushing through my head of what the doctor would say, whether or not I need a surgery or an MRI that coming year. For several years nothing had to be done. Until one day my cardiologist said I needed an open heart surgery. I was frightened to the thought of having to be put under. The surgeons cutting me open, cracking my ribs, and changing my old valve with a pork hind valve. My parents however would always comfort me telling me that, “to not think about it you will be under for the whole time and we will be there when you wake up.” After waking up from my surgery in the Phoenix Children’s Hospital I was relieved to find out the procedure went perfectly fine, ten years, the doctors said the heart valve would work until another discussion on surgery would occur. I was now aware that I could need another surgery in the future, but the next time I would not be as
I had my surgery. Luckily everything turned out great. I had bad points in the beginning. I wasn’t able to walk talk especially laugh. My chest would hurt when I would even breathe. It took a while for this whole situation to heal. My life after this was normal. I didn’t live a bad child hood or anything like that. My whole child hood got into a different perspective. I actually got out and played with all the other children. I enjoyed my child hood years.
As I look back on my life, I can see how a lot of certain events have shaped my life. Where it They helped me become more independent, have some of the greatest accomplishments, and understand the importance of living your own life.
Without regard to the patient David, he has potential to receive the heart transplant. The reports of the other patients are unclear
Often times, I continue to have vivid flashbacks of the day my father came home from his first major surgery. I can precisely remember the slim plastic tubes protruding from my father’s neck connected to a small bottle collecting the accumulating drops of blood. I was
This all happened when I was very little, as soon as I learned how to talk and understand things. At the time, all I knew was that my older brother Tyler had a very bad heart. He would come home with a stethoscope and a cool balloon device which I figured out was used to open up his heart. I remember reading stories about Curious George going to the doctor so Tyler would get used to the fact he was going to have another heart procedure. I mean, I was just five years old. How does a five year old even comprehend what the heart is let alone what’s happening to her brother? So much of this was beyond my comprehension, yet it all seemed so normal. My side of normal was doctor visits, procedures every year in Miami that I couldn’t go to, and seeing a ton of pictures of his procedures! I remember him eating a lot of food to have him gain weight so he could have the procedure. He hated it so much. Even the scar on his chest seems so normal. I don’t even look twice when I see it. Yet if I see another person with a scar, my eyes are drawn to it.
This matters a great influence on my life. The experience has moulded and coloured my whole life. It helps me nerve myself to face the difficulties. I am not scared of difficulties, and I have greater confidence to face
Most of my childhood was spent in many different hospital rooms: all different but equally just the same. The nurses were always helpful, the doctors cold and serious, and my mom always watching my monitors. Despite being connected to multiple different machines and having a heart suck at doing it’s job, I always found a way to be cheerful. I am now seventeen years old, and I have had three open-heart surgeries; my first one happened when I was about seven years old. Pretty intense stuff for someone who should be spending her time coloring and mindlessly playing. I still remember telling all of my friends
There are things in life which none of us can control, in my life there have been many such things. In trying to write this essay I have a difficult time trying to decide what I am going to write about. I have many ideas running through my head,and I am trying to decide what makes me who I am, what makes me special. Soren Kierkegaard said, "Life can only be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards." I have a difficult time understanding my life even as I look back, I am unsure of why things happened and what effect certain events had on my life. I say this because I know nothing else, I have nothing to compare my life to. I am who I am and I have always been this way.
So that was a constant struggle in my life, I couldn’t preform to my full potential in sports, I couldn’t breathe correctly and I developed asthmatic symptoms. But the worst of all was the teasing, people would call me “hole-boy” “meteor boy” “The kid with the hole in his chest” and other things a little kid shouldn’t have to hear. I couldn’t take my shirt off without feeling everyone’s attention in the room become immediately directed towards my chest. I had to deal with that until I was 12, which is the age the doctor requested for us to wait until I could get operated. So once that time came around I was scheduled to be operated on July 10, 2010. Now that was brutal...
Have you ever had surgery? If you have then what would it be, and did it hurt as bad as you thought it would? We had to leave early in the morning to go to Gasden, we had to check in and file paperwork. All that stuff took about an hour or two, also because we had to patiently wait in the waiting room. But when it came time for me to go in I started feeling nervous, and kinda scared because I didn't know what the results after the surgery would turn out to be. A nurse and a doctor came in and back out of the room, checking on the anaesthesia they had gave me. As the doctor checked on another person, the nurses added two I.V. needles in my arms, and a laughing gas mask.
“Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.” (Jerry Seinfeld) Most people don’t know what life will bring or what road they will have to travel until that time comes. George never knew the only way he could save his best friend would be to kill him and Hamlet never knew he would die from being poisoned by my uncle and friend. All the trails and tribulations that you encounter are only to make you better person even if it’s bad. Personally I have been through a lot in 16 years. Some good and some bad but at the end it made me the young last that I am today. Your life experiences only prepare you for the real word. Three life experiences that made me who I am are Death of my uncle, my mom being ill and the switching of schools.

In my life a lot of things have converged together to make me who I am today. Some were expected and some weren’t. How we respond to what happens to us, is what makes us who we are. I have been active in many different things so far in my life, each of which have changed me.
Just going through life is an experience . By doing things wrong you learn how to get them right. The life lessons we learn by growing up. The responsibilities we have to take on as an adult. Learning who is going to be there for us and pick us up when we fall. These little things we experience going through life is what makes us who we are. The lessons the knowledge and the friends are all with you everyday. As I embark on this incredible journey of going back to school I know all my little life experiences will be in my head motivating me and helping me make the right decisions and keeping me on the right track. As a child growing up you experience things that will help you your entire life. Riding your bike is and experience every kid goes through. I know
Every person need to get through their live step by step, which is we need to get through a lot of circumstances to earn experiences. We earned our experiences everyday by just do what we need to do every day. Our life is just like a journey that we have to walk through and meet a lot of circumstances and do a lot of things to earn the experiences, and sometimes we have to make a mistake to learn a lesson of life. Since the day we were born we had to learn a lot of lessons and a lot of experiences day by day. The lesson we learn from our mistake is the best thing to make us remember how to do it and we will never done the same mistake again, but for experiences we have to keep doing what we’re doing to earn the experiences.
