Recommended: Going through hard obstacles in our life essays

Everyone has ups and downs in life. Something can tear a person down and make them feel like the world is going to end. On the other hand, some things can make us feel like we are on the top of the world. Different people have different moments in their life that occur. Having different experiences is what makes us so unique. If the same things happened to everyone, you wouldn’t feel as special. Nobody would have any stories to share or entertain others with. I have had many events in my life that make it so special. One event was meeting Jason Derulo. Three lessons that I learned from meeting Jason Derulo were never let an opportunity pass you by, sometimes you have to be crazy, and that you should always be yourself.
My family, Mackenzie, and I were on our way to Laramie to watch the basketball games and the football games going on that weekend. We were almost to Laramie when Carly, Mackenzie’s older sister, called her. I could hear the excitement in Mackenzies voice practically the whole time they were talking. Mackenzie finally turned to me and exclaimed that Carly had gotten us tickets to the Jason Derulo concert the next night. When we arrived in the Arts and Science building, where it was being held, we took our seats in excitement. We kept joking about what would happen if we were to actually meet Jason Derulo. Mackenzie and I kept discussing how amazing it would be as Carly went to the bathroom. About 10 minutes after she got back, Mackenzie and I decided that we should go to the bathroom as well before the show started. When we walked out the doors we asked a guy working there where the bathroom was, he pointed to the left and said it was just down the stairs. When we got to the bottom we noticed a big long hallway to ...

...u can tell your kids, grandkids, and so on about them. Being crazy is what makes life so fun. You don’t know how long you will get to live so you have to make the best of it.

One more thing I learned from meeting Jason Derulo was to never be somebody you aren’t. You should always be yourself no matter what. If people can’t accept you for who you are, then they don’t deserve the pleasure of being in your life. If you aren’t truly yourself, then you will never have a true friend. You should always be polite to people but don’t fake to be something you’re not. It doesn’t matter how famous and well known they are they need to respect you for you. Being yourself can have a positive impact on people. You will be admired for it. You may inspire some to follow your example. This is one of the best things that you can do in life. You will be happier and that’s guaranteed.

    I made it to Big Lots, where Jonathan works, and I forced him to come outside and look at my car. Then we sat and talked for a while and I bragged about how I was going to my grandma’s house to eat a good home-cooked meal, while he would be forced to eat fast food again. When I left Big Lots, I still had a little time before church let out, so I drove back to Gray to the Dollar Store for some supplies for a Spanish class project I was doing that week. Finally I pulled into my grandparents’ driveway, and I noticed the door was closed. I thought this was unusual because I knew my grandpa was home, but I had forgotten a school fundraiser form for my aunts to look at, so I turned around and drove back home to Jonesborough. While driving home my friend Rachel and her mother were behind me, they followed me all the way to my house. I thought it was some kind of joke, but when we pulled into my driveway, Rachel yelled, “Get in the car! They had to take your grandma to the hospital.”

  • Importance Of My Transient Life

    703 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout my transient life, I have come across plenty of obstacles to the point where I believed the world despised me and was out to destroy my spirit. While in reality within every barrier was a surreptitious life lesson that could only be seen only through further scrutinization. In the end, the adversity of life is what makes life aesthetic because one cannot appreciate things going good if they never went bad. I believe the most important lesson life ever taught me was to live in the moment because things happen for a reason, so have fun, and make new experiences. I want to make the most out of life, I don’t want to be one of those old people who looks back at the days when they were young and have exasperation because of the chances that weren’t taken. I

  • Reflection About Music

    He strives for this feeling of liberation while remaining self-aware that life is composed of both good and bad moments in which you must learn to embrace both. Through my own personal experiences, I’ve been able to recognize this as well. We cannot control what happens to us, but we can learn to pace ourselves and take life day by day. I’m constantly reminding myself to not worry about the future and what it beholds yet rather learn to enjoy myself and live in the moment. One of the main reasons I connect with this song is because the chorus reflects on taking your time on the ‘’ride’’ that is your own life. I believe it’s important to not worry over something that hasn’t happened yet or may never happen. There’s no reason to rush our lives nor compare ourselves to others and how well they’re doing. I’ve learned it’s harmful to dwell on the future and forget to enjoy the moment. We should focus on ourselves and how you can achieve all you desire on your own
