My life has had many changes in it. Things changing in life is inevitable and adapting is a must. Everything in life can change and living with it is the hard part. The summer after my seventh grade year my parents decided the we should move to California. The worst part of this was that we weren 't moving as a family. My mother, youngest sister, and I would be living with my grandmother in her home in San Diego, California. My parents thought that moving and finding better jobs would help our financial problems. I didn 't want to move because I would …show more content…
Everybody saw me as a loser and when my parents would ask me how things were going I would say that things were going fine. I was gaining more and more weight and was getting depressed but I tried my best not to show it. After a long while I made friends with a classmate in my science class. He helped me out and we started to hangout. As I started hanging out with him his friends became my friends and was getting noticed. I didn 't know it at the time but the group of friends I had were very well liked by everyone and they treated each othe like brothers. They let me join their "crew" & I became a brother. I had finally made some friends and was getting used to my new life and my parents decide we should move back to Dodge City, Kansas. This news sounded great to me. My family would be together again and home and our lives would go back to normal. At least that 's what I thought would happen. When I got back my closest friends I had known since second grade had moved on and made other friends. I got back and had to start all over again. Moving to California and then moving back thought me that something only change temporarily but the move also made me different. I now didn 't trust anyone. I almost never show how I am really feeling. Now I always think of every possible senario with everything. I had to become as much of a "man" as I possibly could meaning I had to mature and act like an adult from …show more content…
My uncle ran the family business in Mexico. The business was a restaurant my grandfather had started and is now presently one of the the most known restaurants in that city. When the news of my uncle passing away reached my family everyone felt miserable and was crying. I knew my uncle but I honestly wasn 't very fond of him. Nevertheless, he was my uncle and I was sorry for his passing but what made me cry was watching my father take the pain of losing his brother. I know he was trying his best not to cry or show it but his pain was too unbearable. When children think of their father they see him as invincible like Superman and when I see my father cry it makes me feel like I am not safe. I feel like there is no hope when I see my father cry and for a child it would be like watching Superman die. I know that it is harsh but I feel like observing my father cry made him weak because before I thought nothing could ever bring down my father but that was a mere image I had made up of him. I have seen my father cry one before my uncle passing away and that was when my grandfather had passed away. My uncle passing away affected the entire family but I think that my family will be the most afftected. The death of my uncle means that now the family restaurant has no one in charge. The morning after hearing the news of my uncles death my father flew to Mexico for the funeral. My father stayed in Mexico for a week attending the funeral and resolving which one of his
A moment in time that I hold close to myself is the funeral of my grandmother. It occurred a couple of weeks ago on the Friday of the blood drive. The funeral itself was well done and the homily offered by the priest enlightened us with hope and truth. But when the anti-climatic end of the funeral came my family members and relatives were somberly shedding tears. A sense of disapproval began creeping into my mind. I was completely shocked that I did not feel any sense of sadness or remorse. I wanted to feel the pain. I wanted to mourn, but there was no source of grief for me to mourn. My grandma had lived a great life and left her imprint on the world. After further contemplation, I realized why I felt the way I felt. My grandmother still
A personal change I would like to make is my approach and the response I display to my teammates and the organization. I am a very independent person at work, I tend to be a controlling person in every aspect. However, I am trying to overcome this debilitating trait by learning new techniques and reflecting on the other person’s ideas, comments, efforts and suggestions without taking control. I do complete my task with little or no assistance, but it causes me to be detached, indifferent, and uninvolved from my teammates causing conflicting issues. I do sense a distance between myself and my teammates, but I continue to work hard and remain focus.
the saying “things do not change overnight” which is why I feel my personality did not change
The ways that I have changed and adjusted would be my hairstyle, my apparel, my attitude, the way that I act towards others, the way that I speak, and even the way I walk. The other thing that I have changed about myself would be the way that I treat others like being friendly and even the way my friends treat me has also changed in the way they respect me as one of their friends.

After my eighth birthday, my mother informed me we were moving to Seoul, Korea. I could barely spell that and I was going to be living there for three years. I was not sold on the idea, but I figured time would fly by.
I am the kind of person who likes to be in an environment that doesn’t change to often. I’m not a fan of jumping into something new. Adapting to change is one of the hardest things for me and it is the one thing that I need to work on the most. Change happens all around us every day and I need to learn how to deal with it. Change can be good. Change can be bad. It’s just what I’m going to have to work on to become a better leader.

One way my personality has changed in 5 years was my confidence, I can look at myself in the mirror and not notice the “flaws” in front of me, I used to pick out everything that I thought was wrong with me and try to fix it. I couldn’t care less about what other people think about me and I am able to wear what makes me feel comfortable with confidence. I will now wear sweat pants to class or out in public, if I please, and not feel afraid to look messy or gross. I had many friends in middle school but a lot of them weren 't true friends, we would all talk about each other and do cruel things to each other. I now have a few close friends and we all treat each other with love and kindness. I think of my friends and family more than myself, I make

Hi, my name is Rob Geis and I am currently in grade 12. I have been at County High School for a year now; I joined at the start of 11th grade, and have thoroughly enjoyed myself here. The school is great, the people are fantastic and the atmosphere is one that makes you actually want to go to school. Before I joined ASB I was studying at the Singapore American School for two years and prior to that I was at the International School of Kuala Lumpur for two years. I was born and raised here in Bombay city and grew up here.
It was Friday night, I took a shower, and one of my aunts came into the bathroom and told me that my dad was sick but he was going to be ok. She told me that so I did not worry. I finished taking a bath, and I immediately went to my daddy’s house to see what was going on. My dad was throwing-up blood, and he could not breath very well. One of my aunts cried and prayed at the same time. I felt worried because she only does that when something bad is going to happen. More people were trying to help my dad until the doctor came. Everybody cried, and I was confused because I thought it was just a stomachache. I asked one of my older brothers if my dad was going to be ok, but he did not answer my question and push me away. My body shock to see him dying, and I took his hand and told him not to give up. The only thing that I heard from him was, “Daughters go to auntie...
