The three most preeminent moments that had a lasting effect on my life are stated below:
1) Accident: My family and I were involved in a near death experience that almost took our lives. Everytime I think about the incident, I always have goosebumps, because I know if God did not intervene, it would have been a different scenario. Ever since the incident occured, I have always been cautious with the way I live my life. I try to be honest, try to spread love, show kindness, try to lend a helping hand. I still make mistakes, but I don't let my mistakes define me, always pick the important lessons, and move on. Life still throws its hurdles, but I am optimistic that I will scale through them.
2) Falling in love: We are in the era of shooting your shot (taking your chance) at love. I fell in love with someone very close to me. We were the best of friends, shared our goals, problems, and dreams together. When I told her I had feelings for her, she got angry, and told me that we are not compatible, and the only thing she can offer is friendship. I won't lie, i thought she led me on, from the constant "I miss you" messages, and others, but I was clearly mistaken. This incident made me change my view towards relationships. I try to define any relationship(s) i have towards the opposite sex from the beginning, to prevent misunderstandings in the future, and I don't shoot shots at love anymore. I don't want another heartbreak.
3) Financial struggles which revealed life's truths.
