The experience that changed my life was when I moved houses and had friends for the first time. It was an experience that I will never forget. Before I moved my only friend in the neighborhood was my brother. There was no kids in the other town houses, so I was stuck with my brother until we moved. Since I was four when I moved I don’t remember all the details, but I remember most of them. The reason why we moved was because my mom was expecting her third child. Every month or so we went to visit our house. There was a lot of wood beams everywhere. After about a couple months the house was ready to move into. I was allowed to bring in one of my toys to keep me busy. I brought in a package of toy miniature cars. Today I have them in random places around the house. When I first walked in I thought it was huge. I was used to a town house, and this house was like two town houses combined. The next day all the furniture came. My mom and dad got my brother and I new beds. Later in that week some of the neighbors came over with some cookies. Their ages ranged from 3 to high teens. At that point in time I realized that I was going to have some friends not just my brother. …show more content…
It was very insane with a baby in the house. By that time I have gotten used to the new house, and to my new friends outside. One of them was in a grade higher than me, and the other one was in a grade below me, so my brother and I were the right age. About five years later there was an opening for a house across the street. Before I knew it there was a nice Indian family that had moved in. A couple days later I saw this boy who looked my age walking with his dad on the way home from school. I went to go talk to him, and he told me that he was in the same grade as me. Sadly he wasn’t in my class that year. I was so excited to have a friend my age. To this day we are still
Feeling responsible for situations out of my control was difficult. My grades were awful, it was impossible to focus on anything. I could hardly sleep at night with the amounts of stress I was under. Knowing that my father was an alcoholic with bi-polar disorder opened me up to a new world. I was exposed to so much more than the average kid, especially when he would bring me to the Alcoholic Anonyms meetings. I met so many interesting people threw my father. My entire view of the world and its inhabitants has been altered. Growing up was very difficult but the experiences that I had has shaped the person I am today.
There are various changes that can occur in an individual’s life. Some variations are very little and would not affect your lifecycle very greatly. Nevertheless, other events could be very significant and could change a person’s entire life, such as marrying, giving birth to the baby, or losing someone special. The important event that transformed my life is coming to the United States of America to get education and to study. When I first arrived in this country, I comprehended that an incredible change would happen in my life both mentally and physically. After living more than one year in the United States, I definitely believe that moving to the United States is an advantageous change for me. This change offers me an opportunity to live a healthy lifestyle as well as a new way of thinking that are significant for me and the most importantly it provided me a better education in a simple way.
That experience basically instilled in me that no matter how good things are going it could change in an instant. I also stopped taking the small things in my life for granted. I live by the phrase, “It could always be worse”. It helps me stay positive in even the most stressful situations. Things don’t affect me like they used to because I can have that positive perception of just about any problem I
I had been looking forward to moving out of the house for over four years,
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 did not mind the new house, to me it was nice and bright compared to my old house which was brown and dull. My sister spent a little time being mopey from moving while I decided to make myself at home and picked my home and brought my stuff in. Despite the little ups and downs in my life I learned that no matter how bad things can get, you just keep moving forward and make the best of any
Lastly, after I officially got adopted. I was use to this family and thought of them as my parents. I obviously missed my real mom and sometimes still do, my new parents were awesome and we went on a lot of vacations. We went to Disney world, Sea world, Washington dc and more. I enjoyed most of the trips and would enjoy Dc more now than then. When we started to get use to this home we ended up moving to Minnesota from Missouri. This was a very big weather change, which affected me a lot at first, but I adapted fast. I have now lived in Minnesota for the majority of my life and really enjoy it.
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
When I first moved to America I had many difficult, but positive life changing experiences. My parents, five sisters, four brothers, and I were all very nervous and excited to start a new life. I had many life changing experiences when it was my first time in an airport, starting school to learn a new language, and moving to Lincoln, Nebraska.
As a child I suffered an event that framed my life, a catastrophe that would change my life at least temporarily. This catastrophe changed things all around me, things in my family changed and things at home changed ever since that day. I remember we were all exited, we were going on a family vacation to different regions of Colombia.
When I was a kid we used to move around more than we actually stayed somewhere. Everywhere we went the first thing to come in was usually a couch, maybe a bed or a tv. But the moment we moved in the dining room table and had our first official meal with everybody I felt at home, it didn't matter how long we were going to stay. If we had a dining room table it was a home.
As I got older my emotions started to change and when it came time to move, adjusting to a new home or even a new area became a little harder each time. The
An Event which changed my life, well when, I think back on my life there’s
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.
I remember (vaguely) the day my life changed forever. It was my 12th birthday and I was having a party at my house. All my friends and family came over.
