An Incident That Changed the Cousre of My Life
An Incident that has changed the course of Your Life Everyone has many incidents in their life, some small, some big and some even life changing!! Incidents go on taking place in our life but some change the course of our life, in a good or also in a bad way. I was 11yrs old; I had gone for a trek to Banjar valley in Shimla with my friends. We were 14 of us including 3 instructors. Before the camp we were given strict instructions about how much are bag should be, and we make it light. As we were suppose to carry are own bags during the trek. Therefore we carried only the things which were required for the trek; we carried our instruments, clothes and food. When we reached our base camps, it was very cold. After taking a rest for a while our instructors called us and told us about the place. They gave us instructions of how to utilize the food and water. We were asked not to waste anything because everything we had was limited especially water because we had to survive for the next week with the water we had. We were excited and anxious to explore the place because of its beauty. The beauty of the valley had mesmerized us so we turned our deaf ears to our instructors. We started our trek with an excitement and in that excitement we had forgotten the instructions given by the instructors. On the 1st day we did a trek of 19km…it was a tiring day for us. On our way we used a lot of water cleaning our face and hand. While doing so we had forgot that we were not to waste water. Our instructors again reminded us to conserve water. In the jungle we plucked some fruits to eat, we were told that we could have the fruits without washing them but we did not listen and wasted a lot of water in cleaning the fruits and while cleaning the fruits accidently one of my colleague drop a lot of water We still did not pay attention to our instructors and kept wasting water. As 4 days passed away we realized that each one of us had only 1 bottle of water. Then we knew

    Each soldier carried at least twenty pounds of supplies, weapons, and rations on their backs. They would walk all day, and all night. They didn’t even know where they were going or where they would stop. The things they carried were largely determined by necessity. Tim O’Brien writes “Some of the necessities were P-38 can openers, pocket knives, heat tabs, wristwatches, dog tags, mosquito repellent, chewing gum, candy, cigarettes, salt tablets, packets of Kool-Aid, lighters, matches, C rations and two or three canteens of water. By necessity, and because it was standard operating procedure they all carried steel helmets that weighed five pounds. On their feet they carried jungle boots, which weighed two pounds. They also carried a steel-centered nylon covered flak jacket which weighed seven pounds” (O’Brien 266). Besides the three standard weapons- the M-60, M-16, and M-79, they carried whatever they thought appropriate. The men would sometimes discard ammunition during the day along the trail to lighten their weight. They did this because the choppers would be coming the next morning to give them more ammo. They often smoked dope together and picked fun at one another during the evening to pass the time.…

    I can’t say that there was a particular event that had a major impact in my life, but I can say I will forever treasure the experience that I have gained through my military service in the Navy. Joining the military in any branch, but particularly the Navy, is an experience that I feel everyone should have even if it’s just for a standard four year term. Over the course of my four years of service, I can definitely say without a doubt that it had a major impact in shaping the direction of my life.…

    After exploring many different sites and readings, just in the community that I go to school in, and a wonderful teacher of mine that is fully aware of the environmental issues that humans are creating, helped me perceive water in the world differently. Water is perceived in many different ways around the world by different people. In third world countries it’s a fight for water daily for many people in Sudan whereas if you were in America you could just turn on the tap and have access to clean drinking water whenever you want. I learned a lot from the book, A long walk to water, by Linda Sue Park. In Sudan water is a scares and dangerous resource if its not consumed properly. Unfortunately Salva heard good news that his father was alive, but very ill. His cousin, states, “Years of drinking contaminated water had left Mawien Dut's entire digestive system riddled with guinea worms (106).” In American we don’t have this problem, people don’t respect the value water, they figure it is an unlimited resource. Water revolves around life. Salva was more fortunate because he his father was very successful man. He owned man head of cattle and worked as the village judge. w…

    It was supposedly the best summer of my life. My parents finally agreed that I can drive to work although I did not have a driver’s permit. I was so excited because I had never driven a car without someone by my side. So I got in what was supposedly going to be my car and vanished in seconds before they thought about changing their minds. The few weeks after that day were smooth as I had begun to take good control of the car, and everything was running smoothly except for a small filter that I was going to change which made the car turn off on its own. With my mother always telling me to drive safe before leaving the house, I often did… until that night.…

    When I finally arrived at one of the camps later that night, I gratefully sat down on a fallen log that had been pushed around the fire and gulped in some much needed air. The camp was just a small clearing off the road. A fire pit sat in the middle with about ten logs around it. There were no tents or signs of shelter aside from a couple of low hanging branches that could provide some protection from a light rain or a particularly bright sun. A thin river ran at the far end of the camp, which was a small incline about ten feet deep with a couple of willows and an assortment of other trees that benefit from the running water. I took the pack off of my shoulder and felt for the small pouch that contained the only thing, besides my sympathies, that I had to offer the small dying boy who would likely visit my mind for the rest of my life. There was only a small piece of stale bread left, although I had tried to make it last. My stomach rumbled at the memory of the last hot meal I had, which had been a fortnight ago at the church during our last check-in. Some of the other carriers that were there looked over from their modest dinners (meals?), while others continued their conversations.…

    My family was gone. I came home to find them lying on their pool of blood. I didn’t know when or how it happened, but I have a pretty good idea who did it. I wept and was lost for a moment until Sir Lasky found me. He took me to the other survivors. Since then I knew life would no longer be easy. I trained with the other youths. We were taught how to hold weapons and protect ourselves. No day would pass by without us getting bruised. If things were normal I would say it was cool. But in these times when lives are at stake I realize it isn’t.…
