For me to discuss a single event that transitioned me from childhood to adulthood would be impossible. As people grow, they experience many events and those experiences are what shape us into the people we are today. Starting from my origins, I was born in a dense city called Reading. Throughout the city there are people roaming the streets from different ethnicities. Growing up was tough, it didn’t matter who you were because you were always surrounded. You did one wrong move and someone would look at you differently. Hearing stories about my young childhood, made me a little sad. My dad was never around, and my mom was either at work, or inside trying to take care of the house. At first it was only me and my older brother. We got along fine, but as your average pair of street kids, we would get in trouble from time to time. Since we didn’t have too much money, our family tried to get by with what we got. We couldn’t buy all the toys that we wanted, and even if we did, there was a good chance …show more content…
I know I was young when it happened, but after that, my whole life changed. My father might not have been here with me, I wouldn’t care about school or what I wanted to do with my life, and I wouldn’t be here applying for college. Now what I want to do with my life, is have a career that I enjoy. With that career I want to have a family that doesn’t have to worry about the hardships that I went through. I want my child to know what I feels like to have a father that is there for them. I want to provide my future and present family a chance to not have to worry about paying the bills. I don’t want them to worry about the money, whether they have enough right now. I want to take what I have achieved and use it to give back to my parents. If it wasn’t for them making that decision to move to North Carolina, then I wouldn’t be where I
I played bingo, volleyball and I won a manicure for the activate event. I played bingo, the two-game hosts with Mrs. Bonnie. The hosts told me and players that show the numbers-letters of a combination. Bonnie heard the hosts and interpreted me with American Sign Language carefully for the bingo game. I spelled "BINGO" with my fingers when I raised my hand up with a wave at the hosts. They examined my two game cards because of that matched same numbers correct! I got to win the manicure from the bingo game. I leave the cafe where I play the game to going the outside. I played volleyball with the black female student for fun. I liked to play the volleyball, but I was not a good player. I gave another volleyball to the small
What helped me see that have transitioned into an adult was during induction on November of this year for Alpha Phi Nu chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. It was a very formal event where all the new members are called my name and they sign their name into a special book for induction. I was upstage as not just a member but as a VP of Scholarships for my chapters speaking to the new members. Sitting in the front of the stage nervous but excited to give this small speech of thanks to a choir that sang for us and saying congratulations to the new members. Being given such a huge responsibility, that I would have most likely not have done when I was younger was such a huge step for me. I was always told that sometimes adults would have to do things they
Throughout life, I have faced many events that have helped my transition from childhood to adulthood. Some of these events have been small, while others have affected this transition more. The event that has made the biggest impact on my transition from childhood to adulthood occurred two years ago.
I changed from a youth to an adult when I found out that I was pregnant and going to be a mom. My first reaction to being pregnant frighten me so I only told my best friend Chasity. When I went to school and out in public I made sure to wear my big hoodie so, no one could tell that I was gaining weight. Being pregnant changed the way my time was spent with my friends. I had to stay home most of the time while my friends went out to parties. I learn that I couldn’t no longer do the things I were doing before n I got pregnant. I stopped playing volleyball on the court and just kept score in the book. I stayed home and prepared myself to becoming a mom. I put school first and made sure that I gradate, because I was in the eleventh grade. On my
A significant event is the hardest challenges a person goes through when losing somebody they love. Accordingly, it thrives on emotional disruption of the human mind and body, as well as the spiritual belief of “God.” A person can become lost and lonely as if they were a child, wondering in the woods searching for familiar surround. “Why!” Why this could happen? How could this happen to someone they love? The conclusion to the answer lies deep within a person heart; each person’s experience different when there a loss of someone they love.
Pseudo-event, also known as a media event [4], is an event or activity that exists for the sole purpose of media publicity. It may also include any event that is covered in the mass media or was hosted largely with the media in mind [5]. Typical examples including news announcements, corporate anniversary, press conference in response to a major media event, or planned events like speeches or demonstrations. Instead of paying for advertising time, a pseudo-event seeks to use public relations to gain media and public attention.
What is a “significant event”, truly I mean? A baby’s first step, high school graduation, or even the pay raise that benefits you with a very very generous paycheck. A “significant event” to me is to have a realization or occurrence that changes your perspective. In my case, i have had so many negative events occur, it should be illegal. In this case it was an incident in which caused a major realization, an “AHA!!” moment, an epiphany. I went to a chinese restaurant and ate some shrimp fried rice and eggrolls, but after dinner was over of course the waiter brought the bill and a few fortune cookies. We all finished eating and opened the cookies. I usually don’t take the fortunes seriously but this one actually made me think. Not just think, but truly question and reconsider everything i could possibly byass on a day to day basis. I take in the words, “ Broke is temporary, poor is a state of mind” (Little dragons fortune cookie). Of course being me, I overanalyzed and overthought but it took a certain memory for me to actually understand and recognize the true significance of this quote.
One event that was significant in my growth and development was being raised in a single parent military house. It was just my mom, my younger brother and me. My mom worked a lot so I had to step up as a caregiver to my brother. Having to step up as a care taker for my brother while my mom was working I had to mature fast, and be responsible. Having to take care of my brother came natural to me I did not complain or fussy about having to do it.
I grew up without my dad around. My dad lived here in Southern California. Since I can remember my dad had been living here in the United States working. He would go back to visit us once or twice a year. I didn’t care much about him to be honest. He was never there when I needed a male role model. I was a lot closer to my grandpa and uncles than I was with him. After years and years of going back and forth my dad wanted us all to move to California with him, myself my mom, my brother Oscar and my sister Ana. He was tired of going back and forth and plus he didn’t get along too well with my moms side of the family. I loved my life back home. I wasn’t ready to leave everything behind to go to a different country with a man that I only would
In the grand scheme of my life thus far, my childhood has transitioned to adulthood in a rather gradual manner. There are few truly significant events that I have experienced. However, of those few, two outlie my previously stated gradience. At approximately the same time in my life, I began to drive and I acquired a minimum wage occupation.
It was on a rainy, cold winter day when my life suddenly changed. What marked my transition from childhood to adulthood was when I became a mother. I instantly felt like an adult when I gave birth to my baby girl, Khloe Noel Williams, because I had someone to care for.
Over the course of my life I have had many life experiences which have made me who I am today. When I was in my middle childhood, most of my life revolved around playing and having fun. I did not have to put forth effort in hardly any area of my life or work hard in order to achieve specific goals. As time went on however, my own life experiences began to have an effect on me, and shape the person I am today. My life started to change the most during middle childhood when I was around the age of seven years old. At this point in my life, I had to adjust to several big changes.

An event that took place that made a transition from childhood to Adulthood is when I transferred from Indian Valley to Tuscarawas Central Catholic. It was a big transition because I went from a school with five hundred kids in the whole school, from grades nine through twelve, to about 120 kids from grades seven through twelve. I didn't like what was happening with my grades and there wasn't a lot of help because they are a lot of kids that they had to deal with or help with so that's when I decided to transfer to help me with my future. At first it wasn't an easy transfer because I left all my friends and memories there. Also, I didn't know anyone at Central so it was like starting my life over again with new friends and memories.
