Life Changing Moment On Tuesday morning November 8, 2016, I woke up with extreme pain in my lower abdomen. When I got out of bed I was dizzy and had a hard time walking. I made it to the bathroom and sat down on the toilet. When the pain did not start to feel any better, and all I could see was black I yelled for my mother. When my mother got to me she just stared at me and asked me what was wrong because my head was hanging and I could not speak. When she lifted my head, she noticed my face was
Defining a single moment that inspired a significant change in my life and who I am as a person is a difficult task because changes often occur over long periods of time in my life and rarely in individual moments. While combing my memory for life changing moments, I realised I was asking the wrong questions. I shouldn’t search for climactic memories that stand out as good stories because I am not just telling a story. Instead, I’m describing a part of how I became the person I am and I quickly decided
"Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get." (Forrest Gump). Experiences received throughout life are random at best and not knowing which delectable treats are sweet, I brace myself for what may turn out to be life-changing. From these bitter and sweet occurrences, my life constantly reshapes the way I interpret and react to similar situations that arise. Life altering events change my behavior due to the outcome of decisions made, opportunities missed and phone
When reminiscing on my past I’m able to recall the certain moments, which have led to a path where I find myself at a cross road. Searching through the databases of my mind, I’m reminded of cherished memories, though I attempt to pinpoint the times in which I have been successful in my decision making; I cannot help but deliberate whether my past conveyed such a challenging decision.

the way in to shore. My friend tried after and he was also successful his first attempt. This continued as we rode 9-10 more waves in, when we got bored we both said we were going to ride one more wave in, then be done. Little did I know my life changing moment was approaching. I stood up and rode the wave in just like all of the times before. The ocean wind was blowing in my face as the surfboard was gliding over the water. As I approached the shore the board slightly started to turn as I lost my
Life Changing Moment Ever since I can remember I spent almost ever y day at my Grandparents house. They live right down the road from my family and me, and that is how they got the title “Grandma and Grandpa down the road”. They lived in a small house three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a small living room with a fire place that can worm the coldest heart. And in their back yard stood a shed filled with old farm equipment and stray cats with their kittens that I would try to catch every day. They
A Life Changing Moment that Lasts It started out as a rather mundane day. I slept in late and started my day out with a bowl of cold cereal as I continued learning through various free online websites to keep my brain active. Nothing stood out of the ordinary for me for the majority of that day. It was neither too sunny nor too cloudy; in fact, the sky was clear blue that day. For a million years, I never would have thought to hear those three words come out of my mother’s mouth that did that night:
Have you ever wondered how one moment can change your life forever? Many people believe that pivotal moments in our lives include: graduation from high school, going to college, starting your career, buying a house, getting married, having a baby, and eventually retiring.

In life not alot happens that matter in 5 year from the time it did. But when they are life changing times they are something to remember. They could be a small as getting your first pet to having your first heart break to buying your first house or car. They give you many different emotions when they do happen. There's never only one and a right one for each situation everyone is different and feelings will be different. For example one of the biggest life changing moments in my life would have
Over the course of my life, there has been many life changing events. One event that had the most impact on my life was breaking my left ankle twice. Breaking my ankle took me down a road feeling miserable and depressed; it altered the trajectory of my future plans and goals during a time of numerous opportunities. Although looking back on the situation, there have been positives that came out of it. Breaking my left ankle for the second time was detrimental due to the timing while completing my
