Essay about My Experience that Changed Me- Personal Narrative

I have positive attributes and weaknesses as everyone else does. However, since I came from Peru to America, I experienced many changes in my personality from a shy girl to an independent, outgoing and friendly teenager. My strongest personal attributes are generosity, my spirit of collaboration and my perseverance to achieve any goals and overcome obstacles in my life. For example, when I was in Peru I used to go to a hospital to help children with disabilities. I used to visit them very often. I played with them so that they could forget for a while about their sickness. At the time I could make them happy and they enjoyed a nice moment getting to know me. By helping them, I felt a great

I wandered around town for what felt like an hour looking at all the shops and exhibits for tourists. The town was old looking but nice. Reminding me of a old German town. Finally I ended up on the outskirts of town close to the dense forest that surrounded the town. I checked my watch 1:02. Guess I should get some lunch. PSH CRUNCH CRUNCH. I heard something in the woods. I looked but saw nothing probably a rabbit it is the woods after all. I started to walking again CRUNCH.

In life we all have something that has changed the way we perceive things. Most things that change a person’s perception happens to be an experience that they have gone thru and learned from. In my case it wasn’t necessarily an experience, it was a dog that changed my perception on life. My mind and heart was opened in a whole new way. I never thought I could love an animal just as much as I loved the people in my life. I always thought it was strange that pet owners loved and treated their pets the same way they treated their children. My perception on dogs or pets in general definitely changed. Throughout this paper you will see why I am a totally different person because of a dog that entered my life.

“Yay, you can do it now,” exclaimed my mom as I was riding my bike for the first time without training wheels. We were in our neighborhood on a sunny afternoon in summer. My mom was watching me with excitement in your eyes of what I could do. I was on my pink princess bike, at this time I was 5 ½ years old. I was riding my bike in front of our house and around the circle. My dad was cutting the grass, but stopped and watched me for a minute or two and started clapping as I ride my bike. I went inside to get a drink, but I was back outside in a flash because I didn’t want to get away from my bike. I didn’t want to get away from my bike because it was the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Creeek. The hard maple bends under my feet, I walk across the the marble as the sleek ninja in my tiny 8-year old mind. I hear the melodically digital sound of the TV as it floods my ears with sound. “Hi… Colin” says my grandpa softly, he turns slowly back to the television as the sounds of gunshots and war enslave him. His past memories haunt him, I know this because the war gave him a souvenir more powerful than one can imagine, a wooden leg. He asks me, “How are you doing?” His eyes train the television as he speaks, “I’m doing well, and I really love hockey, it’s really fun”. He turns from the TV, “You like hockey?” he says, “Yeah I love it”, he looks right through me and says, “That’s great, I’m terrible at skating.” I laugh, he smiles. I think to myself, “At least he has a sense of humor” he turns back to the television, I knew what happened, I knew he got shot, I knew he had felt pain through so many years of stillness. He asked me if I wanted some Life-Savers, as the sugar hungry kid I was, I immediately responded with a, “Yes please”. As he watched, he asked for one, I handed him one as his gown stretched over his leathered out skin. The gown was his only garment, was his pants, his shirt, his collar, and his armor, but in a battle of him versus the virtual soldiers on the television he didn’t need a gun, a helmet or the armor that tired his skin behind enemy lines. He talked as a sage of the war of stories of gallantry as we watched figures dance across a war torn

Me and a couple of friends were driving around on gravel one day, while we were waiting for pizza. The gravel road came to a t intersection. The driver thought it would be a good idea to drift left on the corner, which did not end very well. My Arm had went through the window and got cut up badly. My nerves were cut, I was bleeding out. I told one of the passengers to call 911 and which they did. I had pulled myself out of the car and flung myself out of the ditch. Then I layed down so I wouldn’t bleed out as fast, When the ambulance arrived the call that was made said my arm was broke, they were in for a suprise, I was bleeding everywhere so they rushed me to the hospital and decided they were gonna take me in a bird to iowa city for imidiate surgery. (continues to essay) I remember being in the helicopter it felt weird and felt like we were just floating. The paramedics were just telling me too keep calm and it’ll be alright, at one point I thought i was gonna die so I asked them, and they said no we got you. They took me in once we got there which I don’t remember because they had me all drugged up. I was in the first surgery for six straight hours. They had to attach my artiries and my tendons,muscles everything. I had another surgery the next couple days to remove more glass that was stuck deep into my arm. They had to take a skin graph off of my thigh to put on my arm and a 6 in vain out of my leg to put in my arm also, therefore i couldn’t walk that well either. The

It was an ordinary day of being a college student at summer's eve university. The wind gently blowing against the fresh green trees, pine cones falling softly towards the ground, and students desperately dishing out flyers so that others will come and join their club. For me these things are way too repetitive. I want something new to happen, such as having less homework given by my professor or maybe even having an accident occurring. Don’t get me wrong, I'm not the type of person who likes having these events happening, but I do like some excitement. I, Aiden Sartore will make a change in my life and make it the best. Muhahaha! A sudden burst came into my room.

It was the day I my mother's decreased about 4 decrepitude ago. She decreased from an asthma attack furthermore, it’s not a light of day that I don’t absence my mother.

I remember when it happened, it was a sunny day and I decided to take my new pink, sparkly bike and go for a bike ride along my newly paved street. I plopped on my helmet and began to peddle along the sidewalk. I could smell the sweet flowers as they whizzed by me, until I realized that I was no longer peddling. I pushed and pulled on the small brakes sitting on the handles as I began to speed down the hill. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest as I sped closer and closer to the electrical pole until I bashed into it.

It was a Friday night as most outings are, when the accident happened. They’re still trying find out what happened and who did it. There was nearly 60 people there when it started, but when it ended there wasn’t nearly as many people as before. The town is still getting over the whole thing. I can hear the screams of everyone and the colour of the flames and the smoke coming out of the house. It took the fire crew half an hour to get there, and it wasn’t even outside of the town. Everyone involved is still in shock or trying to get over it like everyone else.

Throughout life many if not all people will have experiences that change them in a meaningful way or teach them a valuable lesson that they can keep with them forever.In the year 2015 there were two primary events that had a distinct impact on me as an individual,and changed the way I processed not only life and death, but the way I processed everything.These events took place on valentine's day and October 12th which at first seemed to be normal days until I got a phone call.These phone calls were very unexpected and saddening because they were pertaining to the deaths of two of my grandparents.In this memoir I’ll be discussing what these deaths taught me,how they altered my perspective on life and how short and unpredictable it can be at times, and how they impacted my life.

Each day we all experience things that are extraordinary and sometimes unforgettable. Yet it's how we let those experiences impact us individually that makes us each unique. An experience in my life that changed how I acted, thought, and felt was the first time I volunteered at my church during their summer “scamp” sessions. The “scamp” sessions aimed to make the lessons correlate to things the kids would do during summer camps. Serving at one of these session allowed the year round volunteers to continue serving if they wanted, but also have the ability to take a vacation and enjoy the church's service. Although life offers a multitude of life changing experiences, serving at Mecklenburg Community Church for the first time was greatest experience because I gained connections in my community, learned strong leadership skills and gained a desire to serve others first.
