Has an event or experience ever changed your life or even changed you as a person? I have had a few experiences that have changed me as a person but, there has been one in particular that has really changed me. My main experience is when my siblings have left for the Army. This experience has really shaped and changed me as a person and taught me a lot because all three of my siblings have left. My experience of my siblings going into the Army has taught me how to be more independent. I can still depend on my siblings but, they just aren’t here a lot. I think that this experience has changed me ina good way because i don’t think you should always depend on other for things. I now know how to do a lot more on my own and not rely on other people.

  • From Carolina Sunshine to German Blizzard: A Military Kid's Journey

    2062 Words  | 5 Pages

    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

  • Personal Narrative Essay Writing

    1221 Words  | 3 Pages

    A couple of weeks ago, the class was assigned a personal narrative essay and the prompt was to tell an interesting story of a specific experience that changed how you acted, thought, or felt. To be honest, I was awfully excited to write this essay because talking about myself is the easiest thing to write about sometimes. However, deciding what experience to talk about was challenging because I have already experienced so much in my seventeen years of being alive from dislocating my hip when I was three, to seeing my grandfather die in front of my eyes, from almost tripping off of the trail on the Grand Canyon, to meeting band members at an airport. Writing this essay brought me many challenges, I did not know what topic to choose, I had no

  • Anatomy And Physiology Class

    Have you ever had an event in your life change your perception on someone or something? That happened in my life, while I took my Anatomy and Physiology class. I had never known what I wanted to do in my future. I never even had an area of study that truly interested me, interested me enough to possibly want to work on it for the rest of my life. All through my earlier school years I always thought that science was about rocks, space, earth, and animals. Science was always my least favorite subject due to that and I never thought that I would ever love it. When I took the Anatomy and Physiology class, my paradigm shift happened. Due to that class I have figured out that I want to have a future in Radiology and that I love health/human body

  • My Life Changing Event

    A lot of people search through life trying to find something that means something to them, something life changing. I experienced my life-changing event when I was 3 years old. I was in a terrible car accident. Realistically, being 3, I do not really remember what all happened – I remember a few details though, the feeling, the pain, and my parents reactions. Their reactions were crucial in the development of my realization of this life-changing event. All through my life I grew up with this crazy thing that had happened in the past and all I had were my parents’ recollections on the events that occurred. But, youth is just kind of weird like that – you tend to hear more about what you experienced than actually remembering it. My parents really

  • A Event That Changed My Life

    769 Words  | 2 Pages

    Sometimes it just takes one event to forever change your outlook on life. One such event happened to me when I was only 5 years old. My day started out as most 5yr olds growing up in the south in the late 60’s, only I was a bit different because unlike my neighborhood friends, my mom was 55yrs old. My mother gave birth to me when she was 50 years old and I was the youngest of 8 children, most of which were grown with children of their own when I came along. My mother spoiled me rotten, she was very attentive to my every demand. And I mostly demanded cereal, Rice Krispies only! My mother wasn’t very playful with me (what 55yr old would be?) but I felt her love. She would not let me out of her sight, she was always there, until one day she wasn’t. I woke up that morning in my mother’s bed as I often did, and I shook her to wake her up as I always did, only this time the shaking wasn’t working. I remember yelling for my siblings to come wake mommy up, I needed my Rice Krispies! Only instead of waking her up they began yelling and screaming and calling people on the phone. What’s going on? It’s not that serious, just get mommy up! I saw men in white shirts running into the house and then leaving with my mother on a stretcher. I didn’t

    Growing up with two older brothers taught me to be unselfish, patient, and respectful.  Being the youngest of three, I learned I would not always get what I wanted.  I would have to be patient and wait my turn for a lot of things, such as the telephone and bathroom.  I was glad that I was able to grow up with siblings to teach me these lifelong lessons. All three of us had to be respectful of each other or we would risk getting in trouble with my parents.
