When I was six and my mom was married to my first father figure, she was only doing it so that I could have a dad. When I was eight they got divorced. My mom became sad. And I was lonely because my mom had distanced herself from me and the rest of the family. I had lost the only man I could call a father. Then a year or so later my mom met Greg. And then I was able to call him my dad because I really see him as my father. I have known him for five years, and now my mom and I are living with him for three years. My mom and him are getting married in a year and I am happy. So yes, change is a good thing and would not be turning into a man if I did not have Greg for a father.
For me the event that changed me in a few ways was when my grandfather died about two years ago. The ways that it changed me is like before this happened i was always happy because i never really had anything that was on my mind all day every day that made me get upset. then after he died i was feeling that way and bottleing all my feelings up inside me because i was affraid to trust anyone, and i may have seemed fine wich i did but it was just tearing me apart inside but i never let it show. I kind of thing that the reason for this is because i was in denial even at the funeral it was open caset and when i was looking at im and alls that was going through my mind was"no thats not my grandfather there is no way that that is him" but i didnt really know i was in denial at the time but who doe and i never even cried about it untill like a few months ago. Another thing that was tearing me apart was that i blamed myself because i never told him i loved him, i never picked up the phone and called him, i never made my dad take me down to virginia where he lived, and i never got to thank him for doing everything he has done for me. But you never think of telling a peson you love that kind of things until they are gone. Now i dont blame myself, i blame the hospital that he was in because they are really what illed him because they had like fifty doctors working on him. There hasnt been a day i havent thought about my grandfather since the day he died, and i hope there never will be. The reason why i think that it changed me so much is is because he is the reason why i have everything i have right now, everything from, being alive, to having the farm i have. The biggest way that i think i changd from this tragity is that i work so much harder, better, and i do what i do in better ways, like i think twice about what i m doing before i do it.
I think one thing that changed my life was when my friends mom died.It was crazy to see that someone was on the earth one day and off the next. It made me really upset and when I got home that day I bursted into tears hugging my mom.If something as unfortunate as that happens in our family I will be devistated and not know what to do.It made me scared, but i also benifited from seeing something as horrible as it was because I do not take my family for grantid anymore.I think twice when I speak and I try to give them a hug and a kiss whenever I think about it. Another event that changed my life was when my grandfather died.I was really little so II did not know what was happening when he was in the hospital.When I found out I didn't really think about it.My perception of death was totally different then.I didn'y know it meant forever and would make my family members scared and sad.It really hit me when I saw the effect it took on them.
When I was seven, my best friend, Ally died. She was shot and killed by her father. He was drunk and after he realized that he did it, he put the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. And, it was on her seventh birthday. She died the minute she was born, May 20, 5:28 pm. It was so scarring to see the red grown across her chest and realize that she was dying, and I wasn't doing anything, just standing there. When my legs finally started working agin, I ran over to her and I asked her what I could do. She said, "don't tell anyone it was my dad, tell them it was Johnny's gang" (Johnny was her older brother). Then, she died. And I hated myself for not doing anything. I think, I could have saved her if I'd acted sooner. Sometimes I remember to tell myself but most of the time, I don't. I just want to ask something of anyone who reads this: Don't tell anyone. I haven't even told my parents what happened; I mean, they know that she died, but, they don't know where. (In my old front yard). It's really hard to tell people this, beacause, I feel like I'm violating her trust in me. So, just don't tell anyone. Please. I'm about to erase all of this. Anyway, you might be thinking, how'd that change you? Well, try not being able to trust anyone because they might just get drunk and kill you. Try hating yourself whe you're seven. ~Jules :)
an event that i believe changed me was when my grandfather died in october 08. it was the morning of the 23rd and at 5:15 the phone rang, and he'd been in the hospital for a couple of weeks now. So when i heard my mom from across the room crying i knew he'd passed, so i just broke down. Cause unfortunely october 23 happens to be my birthday (i know right wasnt really a happy birthday). So i ran into my mom's room and just lost it. I cried that whole day. And then when we went to his wake and i saw his body in the coffin i lost it again. I know how everybody tries to stay strong and stuff but i mean he was my grandpa and he was the person i looked up to. He's the reason im a funny person, he's the reason im genorous and nice. Without him i wouldnt be the person i am today. So that changed me because that was the first relative that i lost, and it probably the worst experience of my life.
I think one thing that changed my life was when my uncle got diagnosed with cancer. He was just living his normal day and when he found out that he had a tumor in his eye, he had to get his eye removed with a fake one. The cancer in the tumor spread to his liver so now he is on treatment for his cancer. I think the worst thing to be told is that you have cancer and they dont know how long your going to live for yet. It could be a year, months, days. This changed his family and all of his siblings and mother's lives. When i found out i was so scared. I love my uncle and even though he isnt the healthiest right now, he is still the same person. He knows hes going to be o.k. and everone does too. This changed me in a way because i spend my life with the people i love the most for as much time as i can because anything can happen and it could be your last day with them, you just dont know it yet. Then your left with regrets.
An event thats changed me was when i was eight my best freinds dad died of cancer. I knew him since before i could talk. Ever since that day i couldnt stay mad at my dad because anyday that could be him. I thought about that and i dont think that i could handle that if my dad died. -Tyler
the most life changing thing i think i have had to deal with was when i was eight years old my grandpa(the one i live with) was diagnosed with cancer of the vocal chords...and hasent been able to speak in about 4 to 5 years...i pleade to you dont smoke or drink in excess because he really screwed up his life..but after that im pretty sure is when i lost my"insence" as mr g calls it because i think that really changed me because i havent heard him talk in forever...i forget the sound of his voice....but things are looking up..this week a medical represntive is comeing to show us this new device that is alot like an IPAD but it talks and you can imput phrases like drink bathroom and things like that or type in what you want to say...so i guess that will be better then writting everything down on a pad of paper if he wants to say something...hopefully he gets it soon... i think that was the moment that changed my life..when they told me he had cancer i went into my room and cried for around three hours straight we found out on febuary 13, 2005 and i regret not saying i love him before his surgery a week later...they didnt tell me they were taking out his vocal chords...soo i regret every single day not saying i love him and hearing him say it back.....
and he has had three relapse with cancer but its starting to go away...hopefully soon he will be cancer free...i hate seeing him go to the hospital every week for radition and whatever else they do to help him...and yes he is still alive to anyone questioning
Well, I've been through a lot of changes but one is coming up and It's going to be one of the biggest changes of my life. My older sisters a senior, and is going to California to go to college and be with her boyfriend. She's more then a sister to me, she's my bestfriend. I tell her everything, and she tells me everything. I know I can trust her. She's one of the only people in my life that I'm close with, which is a big deal to me because I keep most everything hidden from everyone. While I was with my aunt and uncle when I was little, she was with my grandparents. She knows exactly how it feels, and the only one who will honestly understand. She's gone through everything I have. I've always took her side when we were fighting with my mom and would do anything for her. She always knows what to say and no matter what she's doing if I was in trouble she would go through anything to help me. Were so much alike in so many different ways. For a while when I was little and home she was practicly like a mom to me, because while my mom was being irresponsible she stayed home to watch me at night. When we were little it seemed as if we were only a few years apart, and now it seems like were forever apart. While I'm almost turning fifteen she's turning eighteen on the second of April, and she won't even be here when I go through highschool. I'm so proud of her. I'm so proud that she had the guts to tell everyone that it's her life and she'll do what makes her happy even though so many people have tried to alter her decesions on her future. It gives me hope that when my time comes to go to college I can do the same. She's been through so much and I know that will give her the tools to deal with anything life throws at her. She's such a strong person, stronger then I'll ever be. She's at the starting line and she can't wait, and apart of me wants to be selfish and tell her to stay, tell her that I need her, because I honestly do. But I won't. As long as I know she's happy doing what makes her happy apart of me will be happy. All I want is for her to be happy no matter how much I need her. She deserves to be happy.
An event that changed my life was when my dog Buddy had died from being hit by a car. It was probably one of my first true losses in my life so far. I never really knew what a special dog he was to me and my family. Its almost unreal like did that just happen to me. And the part that upset me the most is that the person who hit him never stoppd and explained what happened. The car a half a mile behind it stopped and saw my dog lying there and came to our house and explained. I'll never forget the day it had happened. It was one of the saddest moments of my life. -ROBERT-
lets see a day that changed my life was the day i ended up in the hospital with a stroke. at the age of 6 i had a stroke and from the point i had the stroke i was in the hospital for about 12 to 14 days if i remember correctly. i had never givin life the value i value it now for. i couldve died that day or over that span of days i was in the hospital. it was scarey, i couldnt move my whole right side . i couldnt lift an arm move my leg nothing. i was in the hospital for mother's day, and another life changing thing was while i was in the hospital my dog died and that change all my views on life and how it went because i couldve been stuck the way i was in the hospital for the rest of my life luckily i recovered and im 110% better. while in the hospital i got cards from my class and grade and thats helped everything along.
I think that one thing that totally changed my life was when my little cousin Brionna died. She was like my best friend but when she was born she was diagnosed with some kind of desiease with her heart. She went into sergery to prevent anything from happening to her, buy instead, while she was in recovery, right after she asked when my family was coming to see her in te hospital, she didn't make it. I wonder every day why it had to happen to her. She was so innocent. She was only 6 and she died on October 2nd of last year. I cried so much, but not even my friends new how much cried. I cried for days and I thought that I was gonna die, but I just said to myself put on a smile for the people, and suck it up because no one wants to hear about your problems. ~Autumn <33RIP Bri<33 (sorry for the delay)
When I was about three, my parents were divorced. it devastated me. It troubled me for years. I was always upset. It made me aggressive, and angry, as if I thought it was the worlds fault that my parents didn't love each other anymore. My family has moved thrice since the incident. When my mother met my stepfather, Jon, I never felt the urge to call him dad. He was just Jon. I hate saying this, but I don't see him too much as a father figure, but instead more of a favorite uncle. For one thing, if my parents hadn't divorced, i wouldn't be here in New Jersey. And maybe I wouldn't have been so odd and angry either.

an event that changed my life would have to be when my grandfather passed away. He was like my father because as my class knows my parents split up when i was two. It might sound a little weird, but anyway When my dad left he kinda toke the place in my heart as my dad, and my grandfather. He was an amazing man. And when ever he got the chance he would help anyone and everyone he could. If you where stuck on the side of the road in the pouring down rain he would stop and make sure everything was okay. That was just the type of man he was. if an old lady was having trouble putting groceries in her car, even though he was old he would walk over and help her. It has now been 2 years since he has passed, and every year on his birthday me and my mom ball our eyes out because of the fact that we lost him. He would always say that he wasn't gonna live to be 70 and sure enough he didn't. but he lived to be 69. And that was just one thing that changed my life forever i can name about 20,000 more. but it would take me forever. ~~michaela howell
