A Day in My Life Essay

If my life was a painting it would be very colorful, vibrant, and full of life. I grew up in a city where I was just like everyone else yet I still stood out. When I entered high school my life took a turn for the better, I started to become involved with clubs, sports, and getting to know more people. My sister inspired me to join volleyball and basketball because when I was growing up I always went to her games and also my dad always compared me to her because I played soccer and did boxing at…

Family Changes It was another typical school morning at my house. I, Mercadey Hilton was ready for another day of school- High school to be exact. I brushed my teeth, did my hair and I got into my clothes for the day. These mornings were quiet, yet exciting. I get to go to the one place where I can be free and not feel confined to my room. While waiting for the big yellow school bus to pick me up, I had flashbacks of when my parents, my little sister Emma , and I would go 4-wheeling and I…

The day of July 13, 2017 was the day on which my life changed forever. That day brought never-ending sadness into my life. Pain that nobody should have to go through, tears nobody should cry and sorrow like it should never be felt. The pain of knowing someone you loved isn't there anymore, and they are nothing that you can do about it. I understand God has amazing plans for everyone and God does everything for a reason. But coping with the death of someone you loved is never something you…

was almost summer because I wouldn 't be able to see my friends for a long time. My mom was supposed to pick my sister and me up from school, but I was called down to the office and told to clean out my locker and get everything of mine because I was leaving. At the time I really had no idea what was going on or where I was going. Once I got to the office I didn 't see my mom, dad or grandma. I was very confused. I sat in a chair and waited for my sister, who walked in with the same look of…

Decision Day Have you ever loved someone so much, that you would lose an organ for that person? Cared for another human being that you would do anything to keep them safe? I was nineteen when I was required to make the greatest decision of my life. In such a short time I experience the hardships of labor, the shock of hemorrhaging, and the devastation of a hysterectomy. It was August 8, 2007, when the first contractions begin. I was in the middle of getting ready for my eight-hour shift at…

February 6, 2015 will always be a significant day in my life. It was a Friday, and it was also the day my aunt Pam lost her life to a tough battle with multiple different types of cancer. It was heartbreaking news, and all I wanted to do after finding out was go lay in my bed and cry. However, that 's not what happened, and the day was long from being over. It was a sunny, somewhat chilly Friday afternoon, and I was supposed to be dismissed early from my 7th period class to board the basketball…

that one day would change my life forever? I thought that it was going to be just an average Saturday night until I heard my phone, and I had received a text message from a friend of mine. At the time we were not all that close, and we pretty much just talked inside of school. Little did I know that we would become inseparable the very next day. The text message said, "Can you come over for dinner tonight?" I asked my mom, and she told me that I could not go, because she did not know my friend…

I often catch myself making the same assumption, day after day. Each day I face a whole new set of difficulties, from the moment I rise out of bed until the second I return. As a high school student who is attempting to manage a part time job, there is little time left for any amusement in my life. The average day consists almost entirely of activities I would rather not participate in. From completing my homework assignment to scrubbing the floors of the second-rate fast food joint that…

The First Day of the Rest of My Life As ancient greek philosopher Plato once said, “ The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life”. After my first few years of school, I learned that this quote is immensely true, since one’s education path dictates what happens in that person's life. Without a doubt, many events can significantly influence how a person lives his life. For example, a death of a loved one, getting a pet, or the first sporting event he attends.…

typical sunny day in California. The only problem was this day wasn't typical at all. I remember the day quite clearly. The day my parents told me that I had to move. The day my life changed. “Lucy, me and your dad have to talk to you.” Those words spoken from my mother’s mouth lingers in my head ever since. It was the moment my life became the way it did. I remember the curiosity that filled me when I heard that question. “What is it mom? What's the matter? Is there something wrong?” My…
