what were the events while growing up that changed your life?

Hi ann i was the tallest in my class, size of a mman or woman is immaterial, it is the inner talent that matters, i was always the topper, well i too interviewed some of my classmates for some jobs, they were not highly qualified though. Life keeps changing my friend Bhuwan

When I was in Grade 4, I was new in Cebu City Central School.Because I grew up in a barrio with my grandmother, I was very small.My body building has not matched with my age. My growing up in Layte was a little bit slow coz I have no vitamins to supplement my unbalanced diet.When I transferred here in Cebu, my classmates and schoolmates are all very big. I was afraid of them. But, one day, my classmate teased me and provoked me that it resulted to a fistfight. We went outside of the school premises and there I challenged her to a duel. We were like David and Goliath,in that, I won the fight.Hep,hep,Hurray.That incident proved the saying that "small is terrible".

One continuing event affected my life, not just growing up but for years later as well. Every day of my life, as far back as I can remember, until I was 22 years old, I was told I was totally evil; an ugly freak; no one would ever want me, so I might as well do the world a favour and kill myself. Naturally, I had no friends. My life changed completely when I was 22 years old and that brainwashing, along with the long years of all kinds of abuse, lessened its impact on my life. I have been VERY happily married for almost 50 years (in March) and have a wonderful family. I can look back on my first 22 years and be thankful for all that happened, because it made me what I am today. I am pleased to hear YOU overcame your problems in your early life.

Hi ann, our lives had similarities when we were young. As we know times were different, at least when I went to school. The school had a policy, where students had to be 5'2" before they were allowed to wear long pants. Well going into year 9, I was the only boy who didn't qualify in a class of about forty. How embarrassing! Well I did get dispensation, and an exception was made, but that didn't stop a lot of students from making fun of my height. Well in that year I grew at an alarming rate and was almost at the class average by the end of the year. Actually, this was the second time I had an embarrassing situation at school. In only my third year of school, I contacted ringworm, and had to go to school wearing a little white cap over my shaved head. I think the bullying here effected me for the rest of my life, as from a confident little boy, I withdrew, and became extremely shy. Still to this day, small things embarrass me. Mike.

Hi tiger. Wow. That was an inspiring story. Congratulations to you! I'm happy that you didn't bullied those former classmates of yours when you're doing the interview with them. Know why? It's add but I think those bullies contributed something in your success. You worked hard to be better not entirely because of them but partly because of them right? I hope I am. Well, again congrats and be bigger! :p

There are actually a lot of changes that are still happening in my life now that I continue to grow up. Changes are in the form of physical, emotional, and psychological aspects. When I was a little girl, I was bullied by many people. I was very clumsy before and all I could do was to cry. I became stronger as time went by. But then when I met my boyfriend, everything has changed again. I was not possessive and insecure before. But with him, I always feel like there are a lot of things missing within me. I feel so imperfect. The views which I had with my life before changed all of a sudden. I took up nursing because I wanted to open and welcome a lot of opportunities abroad. But then it changed. I still want to go there but not yet now. I want to go there together with my boyfriend. Many things have been changed. And I know, many things will still change as time goes by.

Hello Ann I grew up in the 50s and 60s, so many personal things AND public things went into changing my life. I can remember when we got our very first TV. I was 7 years old. I can also remember the first American man to go into outer space when I was in the 5th grade. I also remember so much about civil rights, women's rights, and other life-altering things on a large scale. And of course, there was the advent of technology. On a personal level, I remember the first time someone made fun of me at school and all the kids started laughing. I have been shy ever since. But I also remember the good times with many siblings, and the great examples set by my parents. Karen

for me the events was when a i had a crush on a girl the would changed my life while im growing up as a better man. to have a right girl in mylife. and that girl changed my life.

I grew up in a very traditional family where children should always be obedient and polite to anyone. That's how I grew up until highschool. I am meek, does not argue with anyone, always nice to everyone even if they are not nice to me and never voice out what I think though I have a lot of ideas and things going on in my mind . I was a very smart kid though and always at the top of our class. Almost everyone in our school knew me because I have brains. My mother was a very religious woman so as early as grade school I'm already a member of our Church's choir and also a commentator. However, when I went to college everything has changed. I was able to pass the entrance exam for the premiere state university in our country. It was a very liberal school. I joined one of the Sororites and even became a Head of our Sorority. The once meek, nice, religious and overpolite girl was transformed into a woman with liberal mind, outspoken, aggresive, an activist, critic and a debater. I also became an officer of a political party in our school. My classmates in grades school and high school were surprised and shocked when we had our reunion. They could not believe my total transformation.

Well I couldn't say that I had many bullies growing up, but definitely struggle, which serves as a bully in its own way. I think one of the events that influenced me and changed my life when I was growing up was hearing my aunt tell me that I could be anything I wanted to be. I know it is cliche, but her saying those words to me really inspired me, I took them to heart and always pushed myself 110%. The other event which deeply influence my life was joining the Marine Corps. They taught me discipline, to be independent, to look clean and tidy, and to be respectful of adults and authority. They also motivated me to be the best person I could be and always strive to be the best at what I do. Once completing my term in the Marine Corps, I decided to go to college, I currently hold one Masters degree and am pursuing a second. I am also starting a business of my own. These are some of the experiences in my life that have truly effected me for the better!
