Have you ever had a sad experience that can't your whole life? Well, i'm pretty sure everyone has had a lose in the family. In my life I had a lose in my family and it was my grandma on my dad side. I was not even one yet and i visted Mexico to see my grandma when we found out she was very sick. My grandma was killed as a diabetic person.

I have experienced a death in my family. It was my Grandpa Gordon. He died a couple of months ago. He had lung cancer, so he died because he smoked a lot. Before last school year was over I had to go up to Buffalo because he was dying in the first week of May. He was a great grandpa and I will miss him forever. I remember one time when he took me to a Bisons (baseball) game.

Divorce. If you have experienced it you probably hated it just like I did. I always thought that 2009 was great. I found 4 and 5 leaf clovers. Then in September, all broke loose.

I have experienced quite a few changes in my life. Most of them are do to my dads job. Ever since I was in the 4th grade I have been moving around. This effects my friendships with people I grew up with. When you are little it is kinda hard to keep up with your friends and keep them friends with out a phone.

We have all heard the phrase "It changed my life" in weight loss commercial and commercials that products seem to change our way of living. The truth is that nothing can change your life except events that occur in it. Your life can change for better or worst. This year has been full of life changing events. It been said that this year the world was going to end and so far my world has ended and has started with a new beggining.

My life was a lot different when i lived in NC cause there i had a little niece named Makayla, I could see my family all the time and everything. I wish I could go back but my mother wants to live her (I really don't know why). Yes, me and my family fought a lot but that does not mean I don't miss them. If I had it my way I woud still be in NC.

When I was about five, I lost my papa Billy. Back then I was just a little kid, and noticed he wasn't around anymore, and everybody was sad. He was always the one that kept our family going. It was just me and my mom, when I was born, my father left us. So, We lived with my meme and papa billy. Papa billy past because of a mistake at work. he was harnessed in a crane and he drove the machine into the water, because someone didn't mark off a cautious area. He didn't pass immediately, but over time. He broke almost all of his ribs, had internal bleeding, and things wrong with his brain. It was a really big impact on all of us, my whole family. When he died we never connected with his part of the family rarely ever. We do talk every now and then but not near as much as we did. I really miss him, And wish he could still be with us. But, I know now that he's on a better place, and that's all that matters.

One thing that has changed the direction of my life was when i got sick. That moment in my life was really bad and seemed like it lasted forever. It started on the spring break of 6th grade. I began to get nauseous and car sick very easy. It scared me very much and made me sort of depressed for a while! After a while though, it got better.

One of the most significant things in my life that have occured is my Grandma dying. My Grandma was my dad's mom, she was very important to everybody so when she died it was hard for all of us to get over the fact that she was really gone.My step-mom was not with my dad at the time so my Grandmother didn't getto meet her.

There have been many experiances that have changed my life. One of the most difficult yet helpful ones was when my grandma passed away recently. She was sick and had many problems with hearing and other issues. It hurt me so much because she was the one I think of when I think happy,and I knew that she was happy with how she lived. The thing that she cared most about was god and right after god was her grandkids.

A life changing event that happened in my life was when my dad bought me my dog Levi. Levi was a birthday present from basically my whole family, Levi is a rottwieler. My family really didnt want a big dog to live with them but my dad said he would handle him until I knew how to care for him with a racinal mind. I didnt know what he ment but now I understood that my dad wanted me to know how to care for Levi but give him a punishment when he needed one.

Have you ever had an experience that totally changed the way you feel or felt about something? Well I have! I started playing softball when I was around 8 years old. I really liked the sport so my parents said I could join a travel team. So I tried out for a team called Southern Explosion. When we first started out we were a fair team. We practiced very hard. We traveled all over South Georgia and South Carolina to play in tournaments. We didnt win very many games, but my teammates and I had fun together.

We moved here from Kentucky 8 months ago and we called her Mal, she passed away recently. She was loving, caring, a collector and my great-grandmother. I loved her to death and I still do; now I only have one great-grandparent living that is a great-grandmother. Before Mal passed, we used to go over to her house in Kentucky, when we did live there, and loved it because she lived right down the road from us and her son lived right beside her and so we got to see both of them. Also, our grandmother (another one of Mal’s children) lived down the road from them so it was a triple visit. Mal loved flowers and she had the biggest garden! She collected anything and everything, and wouldn’t give it away. Her and her son, Lee, had tons of animals; not like a farm but they lived on a lot of land and just let them roam free. They had ducks, cows, horses, cats, dogs, chickens, wild turkeys, etc.

There has been a major turning point in everybody’s lives. This could have been tragic and emotional that change the way we think about them to day. Some take a while for us to understand how emotional it really was. My experience started at the end of kindergarten. I was young and was wild. I didn’t take much responsibility because I was young. But it all changed when we got the information.

Everyone has experienced something that's changed their way of seeing or doing things. Whether it's good or bad. You see, when I was younger, my Grandparents used to babysit me while my mom and dad were at work. They'd always have toys for the grandkids to play with. Like any other kid, I'd play and make one heck of a mess. I mean, what child doesn't make a mess when they play with toys, like Barbies, Legos or Play Dough?

When i was in 5th grade I had a friend named Courtlynn. We were always with each other. We were best friends. My mom and dad really liked her. My parents was starting to actually hangout with her parents. We didnt see each other for awhile cause she was always getting in trouble. So I had to wait until she could come over and not be grounded.

When I was a little kid I didn't talk that much. I kept to myself. My nephew was all over the place and wouldn't ever shut up. When I was in sixth grade he moved in with me. We always hung out and stuff like that. About 2 months later it was me who wouldn't shut up. I talked like crazy making everybody laugh. Now me and my nephew are just alike, except i'm of course cooler than him. If he hadn't moved in I would probably be a loner. But I'm not.
