thing that has happened to you in your lifetime?
Would you say it made you stronger once you made it through?

I was told that I was hired bythe NYPD and asked to move from sunny Ft Lauderdale to NYC..I did and the day before the academy 06/30/2002 the police commisioner decided to disqualify anyone going to the academy who had ever had a DUI..I had one that was 9 years before, and never got the job..I could of fallen and complained about it, but instead I brushed myself off, admittedly after about a month of being pretty mad, and now I am a Federal agent instead making a much better living..and teh NYPD called me to try and hire me..and I said sorry you missed the chance at me. I laugh everytime I see one of the cops get fired for sometime of misconduct fromthe job now and kind of say out loud, big mistake

hmm id have to say 2 things happened to me that are the worst . first i was taken away from my parents at 4 years old and put into foster care where i was shuffled around until age 6 then placed with a very abusive family until age 13 , did it make me stronger , yes i suppose , i had to forgive though in order to become stronger . and i guess going through so much so young kinda prepared me for the rest of my life cause nothing shocks me any more

The worst thing that has ever happened to me in my lifetime is getting married to the wrong guy for me. I met him in 1993 when I was 18 and just out of high school. We dated for 3 years and then got married. I was young and stupid and THOUGHT I was in love with the guy. Ha, yea right!! Just before we got married he got into trouble with the law, but he conveniently didn't tell me about it until AFTER we got married and stupid me stayed married to him anyway. Then, we got our own apartment, but fell behind on the rent because he couldn't get his crap straight so we had to move in to my parent's house. When I got my paychecks he would I wouldmake me give him the money after I cashed my check and then he would only give me a measly $20 of my hard earned money!! I finally got tired of him not holding up to his part of the deal and told him I wanted a divorce.
Looking back now I would deffinitely have to say that it's made me stronger. Divorcing him is the BEST thing that I could have ever done for myself. Luckily ,but unfortunately, we didn't have any kids together that had to go through the pain of divorce. I know now that he was the WRONG guy for me and I'm so glad I divorced his sorry butt!!

i don't want to say it out loud, or on the internet...it's hard enough to think about, which i do...all the time. and i hide this, i hide from it(or at least try), and i run from it. i know that's bad, but im getting better. at first this made me so weak...i did horrible things to compensate for it. and then, now, slowly, it is making me stronger. i can stand up for myself, and for others who have met a similar fate as i. and i can accept that its over now, and try to not be afraid. its a long story...but i think the ending holds strength.

I heard an Ashlee Simpson song in a store today. It was awful. I'm stronger though...stronger by regurgitation.

Falling from a three story roof,but it somehow made me more responsible for my actions,I guess coming that close to death and being paralyzed,kinda makes you appreciate what you do with the time you have left.

I THOUGHT it was when I found out my hubby of 20+ years was cheating. But it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me because in retrospect he was an abusive jerk and my life, as well as our daughter's, is so much better now. Amazing, but God knows what we need, even when it's not what we want.

almost didn't get married due to a near infidelity by my now-husband. I am glad that it happened, because now he is sure that I am the one he wants to be with (its a realllyyy long story) but at the same time it still hurts.

Losing my dad. It made me appreciate and not take for granted the time I may have left on this planet.
