Most people have multiple chances to change but they fail to realize it, chances and opportunities come in multiple forms for instants deaths, dangerous event, and even exposure. Thinking about my Transformative milestone, it shocks me that I have overcome such a cold element of the world. Events dealing with reality change me as a person and it gave me a reason to strive for greatness. Attending Lake Gibson High School was enthusiastic and full of new young talent, playing for both football and basketball teams, gave me multiple friends and strangely even fans My first friend and high school. Freshman year, a pinch of reality, but I wasn't the only person to witness this event my friend Dalton also attended Lake Gibson Highschool. Dalton was as tall as me and he played for the …show more content…
Did I think to myself, call the firefighters and explain to them about this raging fire? Withdrawing my phone dialing for help Until a familiar voice yelled "HELP", having no choice but to engage in this heroic trail as I crept closer towards the green and yellow house being smothered by a raging fire, as I approached the house I finally reached the doorstep, Grabbing the doorknob as fast as possible feeling the energy of the fire, the door would not budge while smoke poured from the melting windows smoke surrounding me instantly , at once smoke filled my lungs, coughing harshly from the night like smoke, stepping back to kick the door with all my force,opening the wooden door at once. Witnessing this episode at the age of 15, give me a pinch of the real world at a first-hand action. Glaring into the house of smoke, seeing nothing but black smoke, realizing that the next decision that I desire could cause life or death.So I got on my stomach and throughout the house ”SOMEONE PLEASE, PLEASE EXTRACT MYDOG FROM THIS HOUSE OF FLAMES” the voice yelled from the hallway ahead of me the fire was coming from the
Transformation occurs in everyone’s life, whether we accept it or not. When I had to go through an enormous transformation at an early age. I unexpectedly had to move from Miami, Florida to Santa Clarita, California. I was already enrolled in school and expected to be in my seat tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning. At the time I suffered from extreme anxiety and I relied on others to help me through my day. Even the smallest task like handing in a paper to a teacher was difficult for me. The thought of having to be on my own, not knowing any of my friends or teachers to help me get through the long day, and starting at a brand new school in a brand new state was simply terrifying. I was escorted by the principle into my class. I was seated next the most extroverted girl in the
I am an undocumented student at UC Davis. When I am asked a simple question such as, "describe your personal experiences", I ask myself: Where do I begin?
One thing that really bothers me is how much I changed. I used to play games all day, not focus on school, wouldn't get in serious trouble, and was very innocent compared to my present day self. There are cons and pros of my past self compared to how I am currently. I am more happy of how I am now then I am before. As time changes, so do I and I can not stop that. What’s done has already been done and can’t be changed so you always have to look towards the future and never the past. The past will not definite who you are today unless you let it. I would have never expect that I would be transferred to a continuation high school in my freshman year. It is a bad thing to many people, but I am thankful that I am sent to it because I will learn
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
Some of the obstacles would be how some people will say that I won't make it or how I can't-do it. Another is how I will manage time for both job and school. Another is if I won't be able to finish it on time and I will need to have a lot of money. If I wanted to change my path then I would think about it first and do some pros and cons about it then go with what I think. I would want to keep visiting my family and supporting them for everything they have done for me. If I had to choose a place where I would study then it would have to be in North Carolina. I have lived there for quite some time and I really enjoy the place, and I would be ok with the money I hope with the part-time job I'm working on. For education, I wouldn't worry too much
The transitions in life are bound to be the most memorable moments. These changes aren't something we control but something that happens. From moving to a new location to meeting new people change is everywhere. It can be good and bad, but these changes shape something about us. For me, these changes shaped who I became.
Besides what I want to accomplish, I’ve also had significant things happen to me. For example, when I graduated from middle school and moved onto high school, it had a huge impact on me. I was really nervous and scared that I wouldn’t do as well and that I wouldn’t make any friends because I would miss my old friends. It was a part of the process of growing up. Surprisingly, I handled it better than
Passion through the veins My personality can easily be described as beautiful and clever. My foundation is strong and charismatic. Without the upbringing from a concrete foundation like mine, I would lack my power and resiliency. Nothing was impossible and “can’t” was banned in my vocabulary. Higher education wasn’t an option or a choice, though a requirement.
Certain moments throughout my life have sparked multiple periods of personal growth whether that be in a positive or negative way. Those certain moments I experienced sparked a period of personal growth within me because I was able to learn, understand, and improve either my love or knowledge for a certain idea. The certain span of events which sparked a period of personal growth was my spring 2017 hockey season; during this span I greatly improved my love for the game and realized I indeed can go somewhere with hockey. The first event which prompt a period of personal growth was during a hockey game on April 30, 2017 where I scored a total of six points (three goals and three assists); it was surreal to me because I scored my first career hat-trick (three goals).
In my short 16 years there have been many experiences I have encountered in life that shape who I am. My identity today. As time has passed experiences have come one after another for me to learn. What has shaped me influenced me in this short time period are many things the topic around this lies around my social construct. I am a lot of things, I am someone who looks as a shy, quite, smart, nice etc. person. Those simple qualities that make who I am have been influenced upon me and in general just who I am. What has shaped me present day is my family structure and my education the most to shape my identity.
My parents sensed my troubles and we moved. Adjusting to a new high school took time. It was not easy making new friends and I continued to be lost. These incidents weighed heavily on my mind. My anguished heart refused to see beyond my own woes. A recent disturbing incident changed my purview of life.
There have been tons of things that I have learned and been taught in my life, by a number of people such as family, teachers, or even friends on occasion. The things they taught me vary from math and other related subjects to just some truly simple yet meaningful life lessons. However, there is nothing quite as unique, quite as special as a person teaching themselves a life lesson. It really is an amazing accomplishment for a person to teach themselves something. It is not quite as simple as another person teaching them something because it is not just the transferring of information from one person to another. The person instead has to start from scratch and process the information they have in their mind in order to come up with a new thought
I never really thought about where my life was going. I always believed life took me where I wanted to go, I never thought that I was the one who took myself were I wanted to go. Once I entered high school I changed the way I thought. This is why I chose to go to college. I believe that college will give me the keys to unlock the doors of life. This way I can choose for myself where I go instead of someone choosing for me.
Many years ago when I was a freshman in high school, an event happened to me that changed my life for the better. My friend invited me to go hiking with him and his sister. He was going to go hiking in Yosemite. The following day I prepared myself mentally and physically in order to accomplish this hike.
If we let our personal challenges destroy us, then we are nothing and have nothing to offer the world. It is important that we take control of our situation and use the personal hardship as an opportunity to better ourselves. It takes a keen eye and careful self-evaluation to remove any inclusions that will mar the beautiful diamond we possess in all of us. Each one of us is shaped into a distinctive cut of stone, giving way to different grades of clarity and color, making us rare, valuable, and uniquely our own. Frederick Douglass and Barbara Ehrenreich are two individuals who lived in different time periods; however, both individuals used their personal struggles to inspire change in the hearts of others. Just as I use my struggle as a tool to chip away the imperfections in my life, Frederick and Barbara used their experiences to chip away the fallacies of our nation. Personal challenges encourage me to grow as an individual and make better choices for a brighter future.
