A Day in the Life
Personal Essay
Something so tragic couldn't have happened on the best day of my life, "My Graduation Day." The day itself had actually been going very well indeed, and a seemingly endless surge of excitement had me going crazy! Things were going perfectly how I imagined it, I have been waiting for this day for 12 long years and just knowing the fact that it was here just drove me insane. The morning started out when I woke up and had a wonderful breakfast waiting for me out on the table with my close family there. All sitting around the table talking about my graduation that was to be held later on that evening, everyone was really excited. Then all of a sudden the clouds turned grey and the rain started pouring down. The alert for a thunder storm was called out for my city. Just looking outside made the excitement vibe go away, not that it was going to affect the Graduation but somehow the weather bought all the positive energy down really quick. That was not to last too long, 2 hours later the day had became dawned crisp and clear, the grounds covered with beautiful green grass. Finally now that the rain had stopped there was nothing that could hold me back from all that excitement that was coming my way. Just the thought of walking down the aisle and going up to get my diploma was the greatest feeling in the world. Now that it’s a good day out, it’s time for me to go to the Graduation rehearsal.
The more I thought about the graduation rehearsal the better I felt. As I got put on my cap and gown I felt the excitement of graduating. My friends were calling me to ride with them but as excited I was I didn’t want to take a chance and miss out. As I was driving to the rehearsal arena I saw many of my class mates driving next to me. All with the joy of getting the diploma in about a couple more hours or so. It seed like nothing was going to go wrong at this point in my day so far.
Just when I thought my day was going perfect my car broke down. Couldn't really

    That was the day that my grandpa passed away. Every single part of that date is engrained in my memory. My parents had driven up to Wisconsin, and my older sister Lauren drove home for college to stay with me. It wasn’t out of the normal for my parents to quickly leave, so I didn’t think much of it. I remember going to hang out with Tatum, my best friend of the time. It was a nice day outside, so of course we were outside playing on the trampoline and doing all our weird routines like we always did. Her family, who was like a second family to me, decided to go out to eat so they brought me along. We went to La Charitas. I remember how Mrs. Teeple pulled out a funny card game for us to play, and I remember Tatum cutting out faces in her tortilla, making us all laugh. When we got back to the house we saw that my sister called, so I said bye to the Teeples and walked one minute down the road to my house. Lauren, who is one of the most emotional in the family, was left with the task of telling me that my grandpa had passed away. I had just grabbed a snack of chocolate cheerios as she started to tell me the news. I didn’t know how to react, so I ran into the basement directly to the furthest corner I could find. Lauren tried talking to me, but I wanted to be by myself. One of the hardest things I have ever done was talking to my dad on the phone after finding out. He called to tell me the plans, that he was coming home to get us, and…

    It was the summer before my sophomore year in high school. Break was ending, and schools were opening soon. We just moved from a small town called Sikeston to Saint Charles, Missouri due to my dad’s new job. I have lived in Sikeston my whole life, and I did not fully understand why we all suddenly had to move. I was slowly starting to adjust to my new life in Saint Charles and my new school when twelve days after I moved, I received a call informing that one of my closest friends passed away. The whole conversation felt surreal, but I still remember that day, August 21st. I saw my friend Aubrey two weeks before he passed away, the happiest, sweetest kid I knew. I did not understand why that was the last time I would ever see him again. I did not understand exactly what happened. I did not understand why Aubrey out of all people had a tumor in his ear. That was the first time that someone close to me…

    I woke up Tuesday morning excited for the day I was going to spend with my mom.

Our plan was to go to one of mom's classes with her, and then on a tour of CNU and then we were going to go to dinner and a movie.…

    It was the day that I was dreading all week. It was the day my brother was leaving for college. Since the day i was born me and my older brother have been really close. We liked the same things, hung out with the same people, and played on the same sports teams. We did everything together. As time went on nothing really changed even through high school we were still really close. The day he was leaving for college I was at my friends house and didn’t want to go home until the minute he was leaving. I didn’t want to see him until he left because i knew it was going to be hard for me to watch him leave so i figured if i didn’t see him until he said bye it wouldn’t be as bad. Another part of me also didn’t want to show him weakness, that i was…

    Wow. In this photo I had absolutely no words for the excitement I felt that day. I mean who wouldn’t be excited when you’ve achieved a lifelong dream of yours to become Valedictorian of your 8th grade class. Many people approved, disapproved etcetera and either way I honestly could care less. I finally have achieved years of hardship and standards to finally prove to myself and others that I can “Do all things through christ that gives me strength.” I have learned to move past and accept myself for who I am and that was the best I could’ve done. I utterly cannot explain the weight that has been lifted up from my shoulders to know that I don’t have to prove myself to anyone but me and the lord. I know what I want to do in life and that has been…

    After that day, I came to realize that life is too precious to be taken for granted. I try to take each day and make it worthwhile. When my history teacher gives me reading homework, I rejoice in the fact I am here to read it at all, and that I can learn, instead of being a vegetable in the hospital like so many are after terrible car accidents. I live every day like it is my last because I now realize that the Maker is able to recall the…

    Everyday I wake up and come into contact with objects and people of all nationalities, cultures and social class, which is sociological. Objects I see or use such as clothes, music, phone or even appliances that help me wake up (coffee of course) help me to start my day. Interestingly enough everyday life consists of human beings interacting with one another, their ideas, and emotions, which can be called sociology of identification. We recognize and participate sociologically with our family at home, our peers and employers at work and students at school.…

    “I didn’t think I could do it, but then I looked at what you were doing and I realized I could,” a friend sheepishly told me as she showed me her acceptance letter to a local college. My heart swelled with pride for her. I engulfed her in a bone crushing hug as the weight of her words washed over me. I could list a lot of moments the relate to my future goals. I could talk about awards won and accomplishments gained. It isn’t pieces of paper that tell me how smart I am that I am proud of. It isn’t statistics like being president of our senior class or one of the largest service clubs in my school that I hold onto. It is moments like the one with my friend. It is moments like the year before when I many days and late nights helping a friend with his scholarship essays because we knew that if he wanted to go to the big university he had his heart set on, he had to find a way to pay for it. His hug on graduation night, after he knew that his dream was becoming a reality, is one I will never forget.…

    The day started out like any other day in my life. I was on vacation at the beach getting ready to come home. I packed my things and loaded up the car and started down the road. My car alarmed me with the gas light flashing so I pulled over at the nearest exit to fill up before continuing my drive back to the homestead. When I got back in the car, I noticed that my cell phone had no service and could only make an emergency call. I fiddled with it for a few minutes, then laid it down, thinking I’m probably just in a bad reception area and didn’t touch it again until I got to a friend’s house to drop her off from our vacation.…

    Waking up during winter break on a rather chilly morning, twenty degrees and it was precisely 9:00 a.m. and I was more than ready to drive to Quincy, Illinois, hop on an airplane, and head to my hometown Klamath Falls, Oregon. When I got to the airport I thought to myself what a phenomenal day this will be. I thought wrong. I was faced with the challenges of bad weather, delays, and the reality that my brother was becoming detached from the family; this day became a day where everything went wrong.…
