The most changing experience in my life was after my divorce . It completely change my life to the point where I thought I didn't belong with anyone . My X remarried and my kids where living with her and felt I had lost everything that I had treasured the most . It was awful and it probably took me at least 6 to 7 years to get over it . Although I learn ed a lot from it about when you loose something , never take anything granted . Cherish everyday like its your last day . I never remarried but I feel that I am ready now .I have built a great relationship with my children better now than before .And goes for my own friends as well , and immediate family .

Answer 4

failure. In my career. It was the first time ever i had failed in anything that meant that much to me. I was 24 at the time and i thought my life was over. Turns out it was the most liberating thing that ever happened to me. Failure was my greatest fear before that and after experiencing it, it was like i could rule the world. If i could fail in the area of my life that meant the most to me, i could do anything i wanted without fear of failure. Around this time i started thinking for myself, i became more confident and my self esteem shot up. I gave up blaming god for things that went wrong in my life and started taking full responsibility for my actions. I have since done a lot of things i had wanted to do but have been afraid like, i sang the national anthem at my med school graduation ceremony, went sky diving, i am more open to love and not afraid to be vulnerable, standing up for myself even if my family disagrees. What can i say, my greatest fear turned out to be the liberating experience i needed the most

Answer 5

At seventeen, I went to a summer camp.
It was an African history thing and we separated into little groups called tribes and had different color african garbs to distinguish our tribe from the next. We danced and sang and ate good. That was day one.

The next morning we were awaken by the sounds of hounds and men with chains. They split us up, chained us up, and loaded us on a big boat and took us out on the river for a day. The next day, we got to shore, we were forced to work potatoe fields. That night we ran through the woods, and through swamps to our "freedom."

After that experience, we were on our way to a church by bus to eat and pray with the white high school kids who played our "masters." On the way, everyone was obviously edgy, we were stopped by a pick up truck full of men with guns, waving confederate flags. This took us over the edge, as high school students, we weren't ready for this type of experience, but it sure changed my life!
This is a true story.

For the better, having my lil girl in my life. Everyday she does or says something that changes the way I think or feel. Just by being alive, she changes me on a daily basis.

For the bad, being raped at an early age.

You're the one that wasn't specific.
