UNFORESEEN Consequences
The assignment was to write an essay about a particular moment or time in your life that changed you. I wrote about my fourth and fifth grade school years. During this time I went through a lot of hard times. I was being bullied really bad, my dad was deployed in Iraq, and my house burned down. I literally was destroyed on the inside and left in pieces and felt I had no way out. Every day since then I struggle with a lot of issues that came forth from that time. I really had to learn to reinvent myself just as a matter of survival. I learned to hold myself together but it was at a terrible cost and I still struggle with trusting myself and others enough to form lasting relationships. The essay is about the time when I went through all this and how the people who bullied me probably had no idea the consequences of their actions would have on my life.
