In order to understand me, or the moment in which I learned that I was meant to be here, I have to show my past trials, my pain. A little over a year ago, I lost my mother due to ovarian cancer. A few months after that, I lost my cousin’s husband due to suicide on October 17, 2016. Then I lost my neighbors Michael Woodard, his father Lewis Woodard, then his mother, Bobbie Woodard, who passed away on August 29, 2017. I used to go over to their house almost every day after school, sometimes they would help me with my homework. And my teacher Mrs. Erwin, on September 12, 2017, due to a heart attack. Death is a part of our existence, a part of our lives. For some people it happens all at once, for others it is spaced out over their lifetime. There have been many times in my life when I should have died—some due to my own hand, others not so much. I was born on September 23, 1999, at seven-thirty a.m. I was due to be born somewhere around the sixteenth of December, that year, I was born three months before I was supposed to; I wasn’t supposed to live past that day. When I was born, I weighed two pounds, ten and half ounces. My father was the first one to hold me, his hand covered my entire body as I layed on his chest. I have always been a fighter; I am a survivor. From what I was told, when I was little, my dad’s girlfriend was giving me a bath when I fell over and started choking on the water, as she was on the phone with my mom. Another time, I was locked in a hot car,
Though life review and ordinary remembering seem synonymous, the two share very compelling and diverse similarities and differences. Life review and ordinary remembering are similar in that they both deal with recollections of the past from the onset of adolescence. The pivotal difference is that a life review takes a further step and helps the older adult recollect past memories by search for meaning within each experience and tapping into the emotions of those experiences. Ordinary remembering refers to a more informal and objective recollection of past experiences, while life review is the more formal, structural, and subjective examination of past

One's dream and aspirations to supersede in life must be stronger and greater than limitations set forth by others. The experience that were bestowed to me during my short life has elevated me to the woman I am today. Please walk with me as I give you the opportunity to see the world from my eyes:
I was born and raised in a Christian household and accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior at the age of six. This past year I encountered a sincere relationship with God like I had never experienced before. I knew from a very young age that God is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, that He is the Author of life and the One who writes my story. Through the course of my life I’ve gone through unimaginable events nevertheless God has kept his promise for my life as stated in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”. This verse has become self-evident in my personal relationship with God serving as a reminder of whose I am, who I am living for and what my purpose on this earth is.
1. They say that fathers are the superheroes in the family because they protect and provide for us. 2. I think that mothers are superheroes too, because they can take on the same responsibility as the father.
expecting me to walk in. I was home with him throughout birth up to 18 months. He did not experience day care at this stage. I would say he quickly established hope and trust between us, and transitioned successfully to the next stage.
Procrastination. Laziness. Comfort. Everyone is faced with these struggles, and many tend to take them without question as they run through life.(Hook, Framing Start) It is often said that you should be meeting the minimum and you will be good, but in my work, studying, and personal projects I have found that doing the minimum will lead to minimal results for a minimal impact in life.(They Say, I Say #1) One practice I have begun to adopt and use in my daily life is the belief that anything is achievable, any vision, any idea, any dream, through hard work and the self-discipline to look at struggle and accept that there is no easy way out besides getting it done.(Thesis)
One of the moments that I have failed and that have brought big consequences happened in college, to be more specific in the Spring 2017 semester. The moment and mistake is about the alteration of an official document that

Change is painful. Change is risking the safety of what one knows to explore the vast unknown. To allow change to intrude into one’s life is to endure discomfort, to endure pain. As difficult as it may be to let go of the familiar, change is a necessity for human development. Without change, there is no growth. Once one decides they have a desire to improve themselves as human beings, they must introspect deeply, and question how their beliefs and mindsets shape their achievements, relationships, and goals for their future. I am willing to do this exact thing, my success in life depends on it. My beliefs and mindsets have truly impacted me as a person. We will explore these impacts by exploring my achievements, my relationships, and lastly, my goals for the future.
Literature and writing have had an affect on my life starting from my early childhood and continues to influence me as I end my 11th year of school. From children's pop-up books to 500 page novels reading has always taken part in developing my life. From learning to write my name to using vigorous research and planning to construct a 7 page paper over the Scarlet Letter and the unfortunate events little Hester Prynne is forced to deal with, along with the thrilling task analyzing two juxtaposed literary works. Throughout my life writing and literature have helped to guide me in life and aides in my everyday life.
Fate is a short and powerful four-letter word that most people enjoy believing in. However, other’s may believe it isn’t possible for events to happen without a logical explanation. For years, I was that type of person. I had a very hard time believing that there was a type of higher power controlling the destiny of my life. I challenged every situation I could by finding a way to prove, logically, on why it had happened. Whether the situation was good or bad, I chose to look at it short and sweet, with fear of becoming overly attached and focused on the situation. There were multiple events that had occurred in my life that lead me to think if I believed in fate, it would seem to be out to get me. However, when I was eighteen, my life did a complete turn around and so did my perspective on fate.
I used to think that family was forever. That they will be by your side through the thick and thin. But for some families, I guess that doesn't work out. Sadly for me, I was one of those families. When my family broke up, it was the saddest time in my life. And because I am a male, I thought that crying was for females. That you are weak if you cry. But sometimes, crying makes the pain go away. When a family member dies, crying is a way of saying goodbye, sorry, and expressing regret you have towards that person. We feel sorry that you died, I wish I could have done more stuff with you, I will love you forever. These are all ways of saying goodbye, sorry, and feeling regret towards the person. And with my dad, there’s a lot towards him. He had built up anger, confusion, and sadness inside of me.
Something I have always said is “life is about trials and tribulations, but it’s how you react to them that shapes the person you are.” It all started around my sophomore year of high school, the pain was excruciating and on going for months, and I just wanted answers to why I was in pain. Many doctors said the same thing, but I knew that the amount of pain I was in something was wrong. When I received the gut-wrenching news, my perspective on life changed and I realized who I needed most in my life. God helped me through the predicament that I was placed in, and I learned to grow from the tribulations I had to overcome.
