The Moment Of My Life Essay

The Moment Of My Life Essay
Insignificant Moment Have you ever had an utterly insignificant moment change your life? A moment that if it had not had an unforeseen
consequences you would have completely forgotten it? These moments are the things that most of our lives are made up of. Some are small like,
what would have happened if you decided eat at a pizza restaurant instead of a Mexican restaurant. Some are big like, taking a right turn when you
needed to go left, making you late for work, and your boss upset with you. It's these little moments where we made decisions or accidents that make
our lives the way they are. There in one moment in my life that had it not caused quite a difference in my present and future I would have forgotten
about it. I would have probably never thought about it again.
It was late at night during the summer of 2012, I was sixteen at the time and in a hurry to see my best friend Sophia. I excitedly ran around to
rather all the things I needed so I could leave and pick her up at her house. I rushed out of my house and down the sidewalk towards my mom's car.
Right as I was about to step off the sidewalk is when it happened. I slipped and smashed my full body weight onto my right knee into the concrete
sidewalk. The pain was immense. I rolled my pants to see that damage that I had caused. Luckily I only had a little scratch and what I could tell was
going to be a nasty bruise. As the stubborn teenager that I was I got up, stretched my knee out and hobbled to the car. I

My Views On My Life Essay
During the course of my life I have had many encounters with people from different walks of life than my own, this comes from me moving
between different homes due to the joint custody my parents shared over me. Due to the constant change of the surrounding environment I was
always in constant flux of having to reacquaint myself with those around me, this led to it being easier for me to accept those that had differing
personalities and views from me because I was looking for a type of comradery, however in recent years while I'm not that quick to seek out
comradery in such a fashion it doesn't mean that I've become any less accepting of those who have differing views in fact I appreciate it when
others have differing views from me for that gives a chance to learn and become more personally invested in another person since it requires
learning more about them to get a better understanding of them. When it comes to being nonjudgmental personally I have a policy about being
judgmental that was instilled in me from the moment I was born which was further enforced from the constant bullying and teasing I received for
my size and odd nature during my youth. My mother used to tell me not to judge anyone for I know not of their home life or what they may be
going through at any point and time so I made that a rule to live by. Another example I have of being nonjudgmental was over the summer when I
worked as a day camp counselor at the YMCA I worked with a lot of children and most

Essay On My Life Experience
On the other hand the first statement I choose that exemplifies my life experience is "I feel attracted and drawn or called to a spiritual journey"
(Atchley, 2009, p. 64). There may be a stage in an individual's life where they can be unfulfilled with the direction of their personal trajectory. I
genuinely believe that the contemporary main–stream society we reside in places too much emphasis upon the pursuit/accumulation of material
possessions, endeavoring to maintain a youthful appearance, the acceptance of self–indulgence and completely removing God from our daily lives. I
perceive that without engaging in God's will and by assisting one another an individual can attain meaning and purpose in their life. In addition by
aiding other people who may need assistance an individual is not primarily contemplating upon their problems but instead placing the cares and
concerns of others before their own. The class literature articulated that: "something happens to create an opening, an invitation that may come in
many forms: an experience that suggests we are not who were though we were, feeling homesick for a place we don't recall being before or an
experience of an alternative universe in our consciousness" (Atchley, 2009, p. 64). Therefore people that have converted to Christianity may perceive
that this physical plane is not their long–term residence and that it is a temporary destination and our permanent home is residing with God in heaven
for all eternity. I believe

My Interest In My Life
Over the course of my life, there has been a diverse multitude of work areas that have sparked my interest. Between military based careers to more
technical and business related workplaces, it's rather difficult to narrow a broad interest. College is a go to of course for a degree, with it being public
relations, it would make sense that I may be interested in a career involving this. I still am troubled regarding exactly what I might be interested in
regarding the future.
Growing up I was raised in a military family, I was exposed to quite a bit of things, subjective and educational. Throughout that time, my parents were
deployed at certain points and this taught me how to better take care of myself mentally and physically. While I never had permanent friends, it never
stopped me from forming new relationships with new people all the time. Living in areas from throughout the world was a nice perk that I have been
able to experience, witnessing different culture and the way things are just kept completely original in every single place i've visited and lived.
At times, there were hardships that had lasting effects on myself and my family, but I view them as learning experiences, I feel like I may have
learned a bit more about the world and people in general than the average person who might be raised in the same spot all their life. I feel like I may
have become quite a bit more accepting of others and for that reason exactly, I have become much more interested in a career

My Family And My Life
When I was 8, my family and I lived in small house in the city town. Our life was a little bit hard, everyone in the family is always busy, my mom
went to work most of the time and my dad, too. My sister and me we both have school during the day and tutoring class after school. Sometimes, I
only see my mom twice a week even though she is home everyday at midnight because of her busy work. My dad is in charged of taking me to
school and picking me up after tutoring class, but he also have his job, he have to get everything in schedule in order to get everything in fit. On
weekend, I am alone by myself at home or sometimes I go to my friend house and stayed there throughout the week. That was how our life was until my
family got into a situation that I was thinking it is going to be bad, but it came out that I have learned a wonderful life lesson.
One day I came home from school and put my backpack on the hanger, slowly walk into the kitchen where my mom is making food for our family
dinner. I sat down and say "Hi mom, I'm home" with an excited but also tired voice. Then suddenly, she turns back and walk to me, sit down on the
chair and asked "So, how was school school today, my dear? Did you have fun? What have you learned today?" with an lovely voice. "School was
fine today, I learned a lot from all of my classes, but the most important thing that I have learned today was in my math class, my teacher taught me
how to write an equation using a formula that can help me in

The Memories Of My Life Essay
Time Appreciation
Life is meant to be filled with memories. Every time that I close my eyes and I let my mind be free, my head starts to be full of different images,
people place, events; experiences that have left a mark in my life. Sometimes those memories are classified as happy , but other times happens that
those memories kill us slowly because they are filled with sadness. Despite making us sad, they have a great value to us. I do not usually like talking
about this part of my memories. People would start thinking that I am weak, because even if I do not want to, my eyes burst into tears when I
remember those memories.
I will share the two most bitter memories in my life with you. I do not want to show that I am weak, but those memories have helped me grow up and
understand the value of life, love and people who surround me. Unfortunately, I understood it only when I lost those people.
The first memory takes me back in time six or seven years before, I do not know. It was the twenty–first of September. I was in seventh grade and too
young to know the value of life and love that you gain from people around you. For almost one year, I and my brother had been living with my aunt
because her husband died and her children were not in Albania anymore. In the last months, she started to feel sick and every day her health was going
south. I remember that at the end of July I went back to my home because she went to the hospital. It had been the longest August of my life.

I Am Proud About My Life
1. I am proud that, I have chosen my major (Fine Art) and have stuck with it despite what people say and that I'm majoring in something I'm passionate
about and not just something that will make a lot of money when I graduate.
2. One thing that I can do now that I couldn't a few years ago is being able to assert myself. I'm naturally a very shy and quiet individual and as a result
I would be overly passive and allow other people to speak over me or talk down to me without defense. Over the past few years after going to college
and having a few different jobs and different life experiences I've learned to stand up for myself and let people know when what they are doing I
wrong. I'm not afraid of people not liking me anymore as long as I know that I'm standing up for what is right.
3. Someone I really admire is my mother, growing up her childhood and living situations were often less than ideal. Growing up Hasidic her access to
education was very limited but she never let her lack of formal education hinder her after her families' departure from the Hasidic community. She's
one of the most nonjudgmental and loving people I know growing up my mother has taken in friends of me and my siblings when their living
situations became less than ideal or dangerous. A specific instance of this is when a childhood friend of my older sister's mother was deported, my
mother opened our home to him and his younger sister to keep them out of the foster system and allow them to graduate from

Essay about My Life
My Life
I was born in San Jose, Costa Rica, and moved to California when I was very young. Before I moved to California my dad traveled back and forth for 2
or 3 yrs from California and back to Costa Rica. He spent most of his time working in the Fresno area, in the cities of Tulare, and Visalia. He says he
spent his time working in any available job including some farm labor jobs and went back to Costa Rica to spend time with us. After the second time
he left Costa Rica to come and work he did not go back. At that time, amnesty was given to immigrants in California, and he moved up north to the
Bay area to find a steady job. That is when he saved enough money for my mother, my two siblings, and I to join him in California.

I was in ESL programs until I entered junior high school. Learning the language, and trying to keep up with the class work was a challenge for me.
Having friends who spoke my language, and the English language as well was an advantage I had. Having that extra help and support really made my
school experience challenging, but exciting as well.
Remembering the support I received from those friends creates a need in me to do the same for other people. I don't only believe that the support that I
can give to migrant students as a Mini–Corps student will help them in succeeding in school, but I believe that an appreciation for school can be
gained as well, and hopefully bring insight for continuing their studies beyond high school. As I improved in my English I also grew an interest in
writing. I enjoyed my English classes, along with my math classes too. My interest grew and grew, and I joined summer girl programs. After
participating two year, I became a mentor to those new peers coming into the program. I worked with teachers in Science, and in Math classes. I also
participated in the volleyball activities, and group activities. This is when I realized I wanted to work with youth my whole life. My interest in
English, and my interest in being a role model to youth made me decide to become an English teacher, especially working with students whose first
language is not English.
Now, I am a college student. I first went to UC Santa Barbara, where I dealt with more

My Life As A Student
My life as a student has been a fairly good one. I've received good grades throughout all my years of high school and pride myself as an intelligent
individual. But my individual ability to grow and learn has been always changing and shifting as I have grown. I think that currently, I am at a low
point in my mindset and learning ability, but there is hope on the horizon. This essay will explore the growth and mindset of Will Roser, and how
I can grow as a learner, friend, and individual. As a student, I have some habits that I rely on, both good and bad. I am usually a good student,
receiving above average grades and I am moderately happy with them. My strength is that I always get everything done on time. I never have an
excuse because my work is always done. I pride myself on that fact. And although that may seem like a good quality, the fact that I procrastinate so
much does affect how good that work may be. So yes, I always finish my work which is always a good thing, but it may be at the expense of my sleep
schedule. I tend to do most of my work the day before, despite telling myself over and over again that it needs to be done earlier. Luckily I have hope
for my habits as I am still young. I still have to work on my procrastination but I think that I can improve as long as I start to see the benefits of
starting work early. As William James says in his essayHabit, "The period between twenty and thirty is the critical one in the formation of intellectual
and

Essay on The Meaning of Life
The Meaning of Life
My few years on this planet have been a bit confusing. I have learned of many aspects of life from which one can draw meaning, if indeed such
meaning can be drawn. I have also learned that there can be no singular meaning of life to stand for us all, or even any one of us. What I have learned
above all is that trying to put words to the meaning of life is a task of absolute absurdity. This is not to be confused with the idea that life has no
meaning, for life certainly has meaning. However, there is no single meaning of life to be defined – life is different for us all. Therefore, rather than
define life for an entire planet, I shall try to explain what life means as I perceive it, and why it means so....show more content...
Life is a complicated twist of suffering, laughing, and learning all merging to tell a great story – or great many stories. Based on this view, "it is not the
end goal or outcome of life that gives life meaning but rather the quality of the story, the quality with which one lives out and develops his or her role."
At the time, this event seemed rather insignificant and did not merit remembrance. However, its catastrophic effects on my attitude that evening may
have helped to mold me into the person I have become. I learned that suffering through such an event, as childish as it was, is quite necessary in any
life. Such pains are part of an interminable cycle and only generate balance in one's life (p. 62, 'Life as Suffering'). Despite my horrid time spent that
evening, the laughter brought since the incident is a worthy tradeoff. Laughter is an all too necessary function of life, just as suffering and the wide
range of other emotions. "Some thinkers would emphasize the importance of sophistication in humor, but others would say that laughter itself is what
is important." Whatever the case may be, laughter is an important ingredient in life, and must not be taken for granted nor ignored.
Despite such emotional ties to life, I have also learned that life is not only about emotions. Those emotions are generated from the chain reactions
created endlessly in

My Life My Journey Essay
As a very small child I don't remember too much, but the things that I do remember were seen through a child's eyes that has made me the person that
I am today and I will always have those memory's with me until my last breath on this earth. In this essay I intend to show how my childhood and
adult life to this point has influenced my life, my journey. By utilizing the adult development theories from this class I also intend on showing how
they relate to my Life experiences and where I am today as an Adult student.

I lost my little brother in 1982 at age 22 in an accident at my parent's home. Robbie was taking down a C.B. antenna and it struck a high power line
that ran into the local General Motors plant. Robbie was killed instantly. As Erickson's stated in his psychosocial development theory, "which
refers to the development within the social environment in which a person lives, primarily focusing on relationships with other people"
(Simanowitz & Pearce. 2003). This had brought back memories of how my relationship was when we were little. I was always kind of upset with
Robbie because he was one of those kids that had that natural athletic ability. Robbie could run faster and throw better, do everything better when
it came to sports, but the real reason I was mad at Robbie most of my childhood life was because every time something went wrong, I always got
the blame and in trouble. Mom would say "You're older you should have known better" Yes she was right most of the time I did know better. I was
the middle child and I was always the one that got into trouble even though Robbie might have done it first. I had a good childhood for the most part, I
can't remember not doing without the things that I really needed as a child. Things like clothes, food, shelter and love from a family. I recall having my
favorite things

Essay on A Day in My Life
A Day in My Life
My alarm clock starts beeping at 7:15 exactly and I groan and try to imagine that it isn't there. When the noise doesn't stop I roll over and hurl the
unlucky object across the room. It invariably hits a precariously balanced pile of books or CD's and they invariably come crashing down, adding to
the scene of devastation that is my bedroom floor. I then slowly drift off to sleep again; until, twenty minuets later, I am rudely awakened by my
mum's voice shouting: "Danny you'll be late for school!".
I turn over looking for my alarm clock and, realising that it's no longer a foot away from my right ear but at the other side of the room, I slowly climb

After we have walked the length of the school twice we sit down to 15 minutes of tutor time.
While I franticly finish the History homework due in five minutes time everyone else enjoys some time taunting Michael or Ashley about one thing or
another.
As Ben leaves the tutor room I shout after him "Ben! What we got now?"
The reply comes: "Science. Mr Smith."
"OK" I shout as I hurry after him.
First lesson, despite being science, goes past in a dream.
I have decided that however much I may look awake at nine o'clock in the morning I actually do not wake up until ten. Therefore, during first period
(science or not) I am still fast asleep. This means that, except under special circumstances (i.e. a test), the amount of work completed in this lesson is
fairly small.

Second period, I am usually more awake (unless, of course, it is R.E, in which case I remain a deep sleep throughout, even if it's last lesson.).
I.T with Mr. Wisson is almost never enjoyable.
Despite my love of computers I cannot ever manage to squeeze even the slightest bit of satisfaction from an hours typing numbers, letters and
mathematical equations into Excel or some such program. The teacher seems to think that because we are not doing IT long course we are all
computer illiterate fools who find it hard to use Microsoft Word.

My Life
In life, someone can greatly change your life forever. Have you had someone change your life? One person can change the way you think, behave,
and how you act around others. I have been shown the ways of Christ through the actions of my grandfather. He had worked, served and ministered
with "Food for the Poor" for many years. The time that I have spent with my grandfather has helped to shape me into who I am today and will continue
to shape me into a Christ–like character. In all of my grandfather's lessons and teachings, the following three stories have stood out the most. My
grandfather has helped guide me and helped me learn how to respond to difficult situations. I am blessed to have him in my life, not only as a
mentor in Christ but also as firm guidance toward the direction of God. The following three stories have helped to teach me how to minister and
how to serve God and others. Lastly, I have been taught a Christian's purpose in this world. Growing up, I had respect and gratitude for my
grandfather. He has always had a great aptitude toward Christ. When I was younger, I went down to his Florida office and learned what he did.
My grandfather has traveled to many places, serving God. At the time, I understood the concept of Jesus, but I really did not have a thorough
understanding of Him. I was five years of age. I asked my grandfather; "Why do you travel to these places?" He replied; "Well, I travel and serve in
these places because of my love for
