What gifts (tangible or in intangible) are still important to you? Life, it is great to be alive. The car that was given to me is important to me because it allows me to get where I need to go. What were the crucial decisions in your life? Really the only crucial decisions in my life were whether or not I was going to go to college and what am I going to do with my degree. How do you handle disappointment? I do not handle disappointment very well. I usually try and have low expectations so that when something does not go as planned or expected I do not feel as bad, but this never really works. One day I hope to handle disappointment better than I currently do because being upset about something does not help the situation. Are you satisfied with the life choices you have made? Yes, I am satisfied with the life choices that I have made. I have never really done …show more content…
What are some things you hope you never forget? I hope to never forget the ones I hold dear even after they are gone, the best memories in my life, and where I came from. I want to remember what I went through in order to get where I am so that I appreciate everything more and do not take anything for granted. What is your biggest worry now? I worry about a lot of things, but my biggest worry is that I will never have children. I know this is probably bad to say, but I sometimes think that if I worry about not being able to have children then it will come true. I try to not think about this, but I randomly find myself worrying about how I may be unable to have children, thankfully if this is true I will still be able to adopt. In what ways are you changing now? I am working on being more positive, being negative is terrible and has no benefit. It has been difficult, but I like to think that I am a more positive person than I once was. What has been the greatest challenge of your life so
...have not been happy because I could not be as successful as I am today. On Sunday I am getting my high school diploma from a private school and that would not have been possible in Turkey. The journey though is still continuing and it is because of the American drive.
Describe a circumstance, obstacle or conflict in your life, and the skills and resources you used to resolve it. Did it change you? If so, how?
such as important people, mistakes you made, things left undone or words left unsaid guilt, regret etc.
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow…” Albert Einstein. We are constantly faced with flashbacks of our memories, euphoric or devastating; we learn to grow from those experiences. Memories can help people in their efforts to learn from the past and achieve greatness in the present. From personal experiences to literature, learning to accept the past and build for the future is what sets individuals apart.
When you disappoint your friends or family, don't automatically think there's no good side to anything you did wrong. In the book “Dork Diaries” Nikki Maxwell is asked to help her crush Brandon with his newspaper; however, she doesn't help in time and he comes in last place in a newspaper contest. Similarly, I've studied closely at my mistakes and lessons to find out that disappointed can lead to success. I disappointed my friends on our group work grade; however, I took matters into my own hands and successfully brought our grade up.
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our and future generations. I intend to combat this man-made disaster by applying materials science for sustainable technologies. Ever since reading “Stuff Matters” by Mark Miodownik, I have been fascinated by materials and their seemingly boundless potential to improve the world. Every breakthrough, either creating new materials or a developing a deeper understanding of old ones, shakes the course of modern progress. Sustainable practices have been slow to make their way into society, but this is improving on two fronts.
I never dreamed of having a child at such a young are. In fact, in high school I was the typical student. I maintained good grades, stayed on the honor roll, participated in extracurricular activities, and even volunteered at local hospitals. Outside of school my friends I were always doing something after the football games or just hanging on Saturday nights, being typical teens. Soon all of that would come to an end. Little did I know for the next few months to come, I would be home to what could be our future president or the person that would make history for finding the cure for cancer. The scariest thing is, I would be forever responsible for a new life, as if trying to be responsible for my own was not enough.

Change has been a great factor in my life. I use to be more anxious about results rather than worrying about the process. While in the course of my practice as a nurse I have come to learn and experience that a thorough process of treatment will reach a more desirable outcome. I have also changed my outlook towards the nursing career. I use to think that a nurse is just a person that will be there to assist the patient

I have a number of personal item that I have held on to throughout my lifetime for various reasons. Many of these items were retained as I thought they would have great personal value in the future. Others were kept as reminders of things that I have accomplished in my life, and to show that I can do anything if I set my mind to it. Why though have I kept all of these items throughout the years? Was it for memorabilia, OCD, or perhaps for their usefulness?
This is because thinking about the past losses or failures cannot change what has happened and ruminating about the future is not going to make that dream possible. I am going home to see. THE PAST Every human on earth has at some point in their lives experienced one form of disappointment, loss, failure or hurt at different stages of our lives; this is all part of life, it is part of growing up. However, what you do with the pain, hurt or experience is what matters and not the hurt itself.
Another thing that is extremely important in my life is family. At my age not a lot of people think about having one but its something that I know I want. I mean with all the plans I have for my future they wouldn’t be as great if I didn’t have people to share it with or give to when I passed away. Also having little kids and doing father activities with them is something I really look forward too.
Many changes for the good and some were bad but, there were some learning experiences that help make me a better person. The events in my life, was dealing with the Birth and The Death of my first daughter.
