Two years ago, I was 17 years old my father suddenly passed away, due to a miss diagnosis. He was my hero, the light of my life. I never really got along with my mother and she often told my dad "if anything happened to you, Rose's life would be shattered". Well it was. There was nothing I could do to bring him back, I was a total wreck. When seeing my father lifeless at his wake I collapsed, literally crumpiling my back. Within a month I couldn't walk. My spinal cord had twisted. And as I felt my life was slowly coming down on me (much like my back did). I felt nothing could bring my world up from that. I stopped attending school. What was the point any longer? My best friend then decided she no longer wanted to be my friend. Another kick when I was down. Thats when I realized that if anyone was going to get me through this rough time it would be me. I started with my mother. My father would have wanted us to finally get along. So I found away to ignore the irratating things she does and notice that shes been through a lot lately as well. We should comfort one another instead of argue. I then went to the doctor about my horriable back. I have to attend a chiropractor every week for me to walk normally everyday. And finally I buckled down on my schooling. And graduated highschool, off to college this coming year. My boyfriend now lets me talk about my dad, enjoys listening about him and is always there for me. I'm moving to a brand new house with my mother, and although it will be hard moving out of the house where I last seen my father, I know that I have friends and family that will help me threw it. And most of all I know that I can help myself.

My freshman year in college, I received a phone call from my father. He informed me that my parents (who had been together for over 15 years), were going to get divorced. To compound the situation, semester finals were withing a week and a half. Making matters worse, I was pledging for a honorary fraternal organization that wanted us to be doing specific things before becoming a member. What hurt the most was that I just wanted to be home with my family but I couldn't cause of priorities at the time.

The first thing I did was talk to one of my best friends for three hours about the problems in my life and trying to organize everything. The second step was realizing that things in life are not always going to go your way, but how we deal with adversity defines who we are to an extent. After that, I realized that if I put maximum effort into all my priorities, I would be able to do well on my finals, take care of fraternal duties, and within a week and a half I would be able to see my parents to hear exactly what was going on.

In the end, I did well on my finals, became a member of the fraternity (it wasn't worth it, but at the time I thought it was), and was able to come to terms with my parents decision. What helped the most was having someone to talk to and help you relate.

My freshman year of college everything fell apart for me. I've always been a little strange and over-emotional, but I could always handle it. I left home to go to school where I had no friends and was very shy. I gradually slipped into a deep depression over the year, involving some very self-destructive behavoirs. I started effective treatment after I got home that year and four years later I've found the proper medication for my bipolar disorder and am stable enough for therapy to be worthwhile. Now I'm just working on keeping up with my meds and finding a decent therapist.

I think the most difficult right now is my parents divorce. It's still fairly recent and very hard to handle because it was very unexpected. I am alo the one that my parents will go to complain about the other or I'm the one that has to give each messages because they won't do it themselves. It's been really tough especially when I see all my friends that have both parents still together and seeing how happy they are and how much family things they still get to do.

My best friend died in a stupid, pointless accident. I was depressed for many months, but one day I was walking along the road and I realized that my life had to have purpose, that there had to be a reason I lived. Since then, I've found a lot of ways to help people, by giving blood, by donating to charity, and through volunteer work. I try to make my life meaningful through service, and it's worked to a large extent. I can't bring my friend back, I can't ease her family's suffering, but I can make my days on this earth count.
