Unexpected event that change my life forever

Unexpected event that change my life foever because when Face a sudden crises that impact my means. When my grandmother fell sick with Cervical cancer. I can relate to Rachel statement “ the change was the reality of a life I’d never imagined myself to be in myself. In my mind I could not see anyone else who has been there fo me through thick and thin. I moved in with her. I made sacrafices like quiting my job i knew she would need twenty fours hours a day. someday was worst than others but I still perseve through her illness. Similar to Rachel divorce at age forty raising a teenage daughter away in college and now facing a medical crisis. A sudden crises changes her life as she faces an old injury which forces her to be dependent on friends as she lives independently now from her divorce. In contrast my grandmother was more connected with family and friends than Rachel is with her circle of relatives or acquaintances. When some relatives new my grandmother were sick they came there for support and make sure she was not alone. they brought food, flowers. however Rachel learns a valuable lesson as stated in her article and adds “I hadn't realized that I wasn't alone even though I lived alone. I hadn't realized that I was part of an informal family even though I didn't live in a traditional one. The support I received from my extended network carried me through my medical emergency and, I'm convinced, quickened my recovery and deepened my healing.” Although this editorial reminds us of how stubborn we can be during our lowest level of confidence we must always support each other during crisis. As Rachel’s says’ "that it wasn't just the reassurance they expressed, it was their willingness to interrupt their own lives to move in with me and do whatever was necessary." To conclude the editorial proves that we can’t assume what life will ring and lead us to live by but value and preserve our most

    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 are now both 78 years old and sadly not very healthy. My grandpa was diagnosed with lung cancer in October, and it changed my grandpa’s life, my family’s life, and my life.…

    The Life Event Approach focuses on changes and challenges that people are likely to experience at a certain time; in this case it is the mid-life stage. In earlier years the focus was on challenging situations that pushed individual’s in this age group to change their disposition. It was felt that major experiences affected their development like the passing of a family member or close friend, a separation of a marriage or a job-loss (Santrock, 2011, p. 506.11). Today the focus is much more complex as it not only considers life experiences, but also intervening influences like ones physical wellbeing or the backing of one’s family. The Modern Life Event Approach also considers the way a person acclimates to certain life happenings, the life-stage framework, and socio-historical circumstances (Windsor, Anstey, Butterworth, & Rodgers, 2008). Our text uses the example of an individual that has dealt with a death of a family member and finds out they have a life threating condition; it is felt that they will have a harder time dealing with life in general (Santrock, 2011, p. 506.12).…

    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.…

    A big event that has changed my life was when my older brother moved away to go to the navy. This changed my life cause I did not know if I was ever going to see him again. When he told me he was leaving and not going to be back for awhile i thought he was leaving because of me, I was a little brat back then so yeah and at the age i was i thought everything was my fault. The day my brother left was probably the saddest thing to ever happen because me and him would always hang out and play video games or walk around town or do something fun. I remember when we dropped him off at the airport i was clinched on to his leg and i was refusing to let go because I didn’t want him to leave. Now that i look back on it i think one of the reasons why i didn’t want him to leave is because he was kinda like my best friend/ role model so yeah and well he is my older brother and I didn’t want anything to happen to him.…

    Life Changing Events

    When people talk about life changing events, they usually talk about families’ death or certain path they took, which shaped their life. Just like any other people, one of my close friends mother, who is originally from Nepal has experienced such life changing events such as leaving their home country behind for better opportunities for themselves or their loved ones, which not only changed her, but also changed the way she anticipated her life to be. When my friends’ mother left her country Nepal, she did not only leave the country itself, but also had to leave her relatives behind. Migrating from home country to another must have been hard because of language and culture barrier. I admire the step she took because it’s tough to move from a place you grew up at down to a whole new country. It must have been hard for her to make such life changing decision, but she did it anyways because she knew if she migrates from Nepal to United States, her children would have better opportunities in life. She has inspired me to be strong. She motivates me no matter what decision I make, I have to stick with it 100% and give my best at it because wherever I go or whatever I do, life will move with me. It’s my choice to either make the most of it or slouch back and cry about it. My friend’s mom is someone who I really admire. She has been through so much and she stayed strong throughout everything. I know for a fact that I will have a life changing experience just like my friends mother because in Indian traditions, we always have to migrate away from parents to go move in with the husband’s side of the family. So this would be a life changing event due to all the moving away from family. It’s hard phase of life. My other best friend had a life changing experience about her divorced parents. This was a really devastating time of her childhood. She told me that about four years ago, she had a life ‘makeover’. It was the day her parents decided to get divorced. She was fifteen…

    There are many experiences that shaped me into the character I am now. Reflecting upon the many different encounters I had throughout my life, I remember my trip to India. Two years back, my family and I took three months’ vacation to my home town, Punjab, India. Excited and thrilled to go, I packed all my belongings. Peering out of the international terminal window, I gaped at the millions of planes standing in front of me, with not just one floor but two floors of seats. All buzzed up in excitement, I bombarded my mother with question about my first real trip to India. "When are we leaving? When will we get there? Where are we staying? I pestered my mother. The usual response was "I will tell you in a bit." this was the mark of my first summer vacation as a teenager, and what better place to go then to India. I didn't know what to expect traveling to my parents’ home country but I knew it would be an experience that would be hard to forget. Nothing has changed me more than my trip to India. The three lessons I learned from my trip to India were to work hard, to persist in education, and to be grateful for everything.…

    The day my life changed

    When I was eighteen my life changed forever. I knew it was time for me to grow up and be serious. It was Black Friday, around 2 AM, and I was asleep at my sister’s house. I was sleeping on my niece’s little twin bed. It was so much smaller than the bed I was used to sleeping on. All of a sudden, my water broke, and I was only hours away from being a mother. I was so scared because I didn’t know what to expect at all. When we got to the hospital; they got me checked in, put me in a room, and immediately started to do tests. There was so much going on around me. They hooked me up to a machine that read when I was having a contraction. My fiancé, Wes, and our friend, Dan, were in the room, and they would tell me when I was having a contraction; as if I couldn’t feel it. Finally around noon time the doctor came in and said “Are you ready to have a baby?” Of course I was, but at the same time I had no idea what to expect because I’ve never been through anything like this; I’ve never even broken a bone. Everyone was telling me that I was doing great, but I was just ready for this to be over. The doctors were talking to me and to each other, but it was all just a blur. After a long 3 hours, they announced “IT’S A GIRL!” Miss. Isabella Rose Rawstron was born at 2:51 PM, weighing 7 pounds 12.3 ounces. They cleaned her up and let me hold her for the first time. Holding her was so perfect! I counted her ten little fingers and ten little toes. I put my finger in her hand and she immediately grabbed it. My heart melted the second I saw her adorable face. It was so weird to think that I was a mother, but once I heard the little cries, I knew my life was complete. It was the most amazing day of my life to be holding that little bundle in my arms and being able to say that she was mine. I officially had my own little family.…
