Something Thats Changed My Life
After reading over the topics I immediately started to think back in my memory, as I am conditioned that way. I didn't think of anything that could be described as "most important". A lot of people (adults) would answer, my marriage, the birth of my children, but nothing could be filtered out as the single most important moment. So I thought that it might come in the future, that I haven't experienced the most important moment in my life yet. But how can I know when that will be everyone ask ?

Of course, and you might have guessed it, that most important moment in my life is the moment I am in right now, the one I am living in. All that exists, all there is, is the now. The future can to some point be anticipated, but never controlled. The past is only memories, and the only moment you can deal with choices made in the past, is now. I’m going to explain the most impacting event that I have ever experienced. I never had a real dad that was always there by my side, to help me with my struggles in sports, or girls none of that. I was stuck with a single mother of 2, low paying job and we always had a struggle, it always came down to having no money, and we all know that in this society you need money. Everyone tries to start a relationship, and yes my mother tried a lot, but not all of them were successful. Until one morning I work up to the voice of a man in my kitchen, so I rolled out of bed not only to see the wonderful breakfast on the table but a stout looking man sitting at my kitchen table. My mom introduced me to him and at that point I didn’t know what to think, I didn’t even know what he was at my house for. So later that day after he had left I sat and my mom explained to me.
Days and months passed and I could tell that this guy, Kevin, and my mom were happy, but from the start I didn’t know what was going to happen between us two. A few months later they got

    Pivotal moments can sometimes be created to help people learn from a mistake, or to keep a great memory going. Some pivotal moments can be a great burden, if you allow it. Other pivotal moments can make a person stronger, healthier, or become a motivation to be a better person. It is those sentimental, heart wrenching, crucial, or maybe life threating moments that change a person for the good or for the worse. This essay challenges those pivotal moments of another person’s story.…

    What Turned My life Around

    There are many memories that have happened in my life that are important to me. It is very hard to select one that has really changed or impacted my life as an individual. Considering I am just about half way through my illustrious life building a bank of historical memories that I would like to recall and some that I would like to erase for good. As I look back, I think the one event that really turned my life around was joining the Navy, 20 years later and I must say it was a decision well made. As I graduated high school my thought process was to be the first person in my family to go to college. Here I am an 18 year old boy from Queens, New York having to travel more than an hour to college, taking two buses and a train. Now this does not sit well with someone when it is in the middle of winter and you feel like the city is just eating you up. It was at that point where I figured college life was not for me. Transitioning from a place where I knew plenty of people to an environment that was completely made of strangers also contributed to my decision on leaving college. Now here I am attending college, it feels like things have come full circle; I am now laying the foundation for my children setting the example that I did not have while I was growing up. As for my future, I am looking forward to gaining more experience through more watershed moments and hopefully I have the awareness to enjoy the transition from the ending to the new beginnings.

    I heard that people can't change. I don't think it's true, because I changed all thanks to my best friend Lulu. Before meeting her I was the opposite as I am right now, unhelpful, not that good at my studies and even not that good as someone to trust. Not only did Lulu change my way of thinking she changed my life, within three different reasons, her honesty, her cleverness and her volunteering works. She is a very close to me, although I met Lulu in my first year at the university. The first time I saw Lulu I didn't think much of her, there is a saying that looks can be deceiving. Questions passed through my mind: Is she going to be a good influence on me or not? Are we going to like each other? I started talking to Lulu and introducing myself to her as she did too, little by little I began to really like her personality.…
