Possibly the most notable change I have undergone is from being an introvert, mostly keeping to myself, to someone who likes and sometimes prefers to be around other people. The introverted stage of my life occupied my entire childhood and the early stage of my adult life. When I graduated high school and joined the Navy, I was forced to not only be in close proximity of others, but to interact with and rely on those same people. Throughout the course of my service, it was this forced closeness that eventually got me out of my shell. I changed from the person who would sit in the corner by his lonesome into the person who would gather people together for a night out on the town. This was very contrary to how much of my family thought I would act as an adult. As stated in the Soomo Webtext (2012), “we cannot predict all of our eventual traits based on our early years of life”.…
At the age of six, my life took an unexpected turn when my parents migrated to the United States and I was forced to adapt to a new culture. At the time, I had no idea this drastic event would ultimately benefit and shape who I am today. I believed this would ruin my self confidence and progress in my education. I constantly battled to lose the label of the new, shy girl in class who blushed whenever she was called on. New situations constantly arose helping me learn about myself in the process. This drastic move taught me many lessons and allowed me to grow as a person.…

It’s been a few years now since I moved to United states of America, and my parents were always telling me that I would somehow have to face new experiences and have difficult moments such as: losing my french, losing my spanish and to fit into a new culture. But, living in the USA helped me not only to understand, but also have a different perspective on the American Culture and a different perspective on the world. And after listening, talking and even discussing with my parents, I was not able to not only find out why, but also how to fit in a new environment.…

My event began years before the actual event occurred. My stepson had been diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder when he was seventeen years old. He was also exhibiting the signs of alcoholism, which ran in the family. His biological father had died from cirrhosis of the liver at the age of thirty seven years old. His mother and I were both recovering addicts, and argued constantly over whether we should use tough love (me) or enable him (her). I was just his stepfather; she was his mother so I would always follow her lead eventually. Over the next thirteen years he abused alcohol and would steal from us or his sisters to get his alcohol, or to drive our cars without permission. He ended up in prison numerous times for violating his probation, so much so he was on a first name basis with the correction officers at the county prison. The event happened on December fourteenth, 2005. I was awakened at five thirty A.M. by the warden of Lancaster County Prison, and notified that my son had committed suicide in his cell at four A.M. by hanging himself. I went into hysterics immediately and handed the phone to my wife who also lost it. I don’t remember much of that day except that it was our sons thirty first birthday, and that he surely wouldn’t have killed himself on this day, but he had.…

Change can be difficult part of a person’s life, oftentimes quite harrowing. Some may find change to be a good thing. I, on the other hand, find it to be more than former. This great change in my life was when my family was forced to move to a new city when I was fourteen. Not only, was I facing a great change, but it would be a change that would affect me for the rest of my life. When I found out that we were moving, I was frightened. I was going to lose all of my friends. I was going to have to start over. That was scary. Being the new kid in school is awful and upsetting, and I was not looking forward to that at all. Already being a shy person who has trouble connecting with new people, being forced to start at a new school was absolutely terrifying.…
