The Five People
Many people have changed my life for the good and also for the bad. I appreciate every moment given to me because it has made me the person I am today. Out of all my moments five people have had the biggest impact. Life can be hard but if you have the right people by your side teaching you lessons I’m sure anyone can get through it.
The first person I would meet when I got to heaven would be my aunt Rhonda. A reason I know she would be the first person I would meet because she taught me so much. She taught me strength, forgiveness and much more. Why my aunt is so important to me is because on April 26, 2004 she lost her whole life. On this day my aunt lost both her children and both her grandchildren to an evil man. Even though

Of course she has taught and showed me so many good things. She also showed me bad things. When I lived in Montana life wasn't the greatest. My mom was working two jobs while my dad would leave for weeks getting high and blowing all the money my mom had for bills. My mom worked really hard and I appreciate her but it was hard for me to watch her decay as my dad just went off and had the time of his life. Things got bad and even though my mom was tired of my dad's shit. She stayed with him. Time after time, she wouldn't leave him. She would just let him walk all over her. My brother and I call her the real ride or die cause she dealt with my dad's crap for so long. Anytime my brother would question her about it all she would say was “I love him and I might be suffering right now but things will get better, he will learn.” In the end she was right my …show more content…
He honestly might be the devil. He is the most atrocious person I have met. I was only 14 years old when I met him, he was 16 at the time and of course I liked this older kid who showed me attention. He was sweet at first. He would take me on dates buy me little presents. It was all great the first couple of months. But then he had to move back with his dad, I would still see him, just not everyday like I was use to. So of course I went to see him on the weekends when I could and over time I saw something change. He got skinner and he acted way different. He started be aggressive and yelling at me for anything I would do. One day I guess I made him really mad and he ended up actually hitting me right in the face. When I reached up to touch my lip and saw blood just pouring out of my mouth I started to cry as he yelled louder and louder. Everything he said was mumbles I was just in shocked that someone who said they cared about me so much would hit me. After that day I decided that I would never let anyone try to control my life or even try to tell me what to do. I forgive him now, I mean what else can I expect from a 16 year old boy whose dad is giving him meth. “Holding anger is a poison.... It eats you from inside... We think that by hating someone we hurt them.... But hatred is a curved blade... And the harm we do to others... We also do to

    While in Brazil on a mission trip to volunteer in schools with Saint Vincent College, I worked closely with the children in the favelas and visited their homes to better understand how they lived. Every house contained multiple families and in a one room basement lived the most loving family who changed my life forever. The youngest child in the family was only seven years old and he had more surgeries than years on earth. During his time he had lost his legs and right arm but never his spirit or smile. I had never seen so much strength in a person and the way his mother talked about his medical care and how much it did for them as a family struck me.…

    Keira became a walking corpse. Her full face grew skinnier than before, and her freckles were absent. Her face was as pale as a bust in a museum, but blue and veiny around her eyes. Her mouth constantly remained open, for she was unable to breathe from her nose. She had started to talk to herself, and she told herself all the time: “it'll all be over soon.…

    Square one can be bliss for many of us. We recall all the memories that come out of it, the smiles, the laughter, and everything in between. I imagine square one to be our own little bubble, where we sit and twiddle our fingers, frightened to step out-- because if you do, you get sucked into the next world, a world where we think we do not belong. Yet, many of us do not even care about going back.…

    So far since I have been walking on this planet I have seen and know many people, but few I have felt have gave me something that I have been truly grateful for. It is not my parents or my siblings, but is someone that I have only met once before for a brief period of time. I hope that one day I will be able to meet him again, but know I have to use what knowledge he has gave me to better my life. It was the summer of 2016 and the football team was told that we were going to meet some special guests, but we had no clue who it was and what we were going to do.…
