My Experience In My Life - 1850 Words

Maya Angelou once said, â€Å"What is the fear of living? It’s being preeminently of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility of yourself - for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don’t know what you’re here to do, then just do some good.† Everyday I think about everything I went through while growing up and forming into the person I am today. Going through all the experiences I have gone through, I didn’t realize how much they would impact me today and serve as lessons. Today I am a freshman in college.

Everyone called it â€Å"Papi’s Store† because we all knew the owner as Papi. He loved us, always allowing us to get candy and food for free. He was like a second dad. During the assembly, there are a bunch of announcements about all the events that are going to happen, and a preview of the talent show. This day, the step-team performed. They were always so good and had everyone standing up and happy. My cousins were in the front of the auditorium and I realized and ran up to them. During this time, the step team were grabbing people to go up on stage and dance with them. I was one of them. The tingles throughout my body start to occur. I can hear my heart beating.
