age of twelve, I have been going for Himalayan Trekking camps. Even tough I had a phobia of heights I completed all my treks. These experiences that I had through these camps made me stronger both mentally and physically. Those mountains and the people over there taught me a very important lesson, to never give up and always have courage. The very first experience where I was really shaken was during my Junior college admissions. Here in India, we have community based reservation system for admissions
Throughout my life I have been a member of many different academic, professional, and sports teams. However, some of my remarkably fond memories had occurred with only one of them, my High School Swim team. More specifically, the 400-freestyle relay team of my senior year. It was composed of myself, two other seniors, and a sophomore. We had a simple, straightforward goal, which was to land a competitive seed at the District Swim Meet.

As a young child growing up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, life was ordinary; until my mother was diagnosed with leukemia. My childhood is filled with vivid memories of my mother being near death and in isolation for 100 days after receiving a stem cell transplant.

The blast forced the vehicle ten feet into the air, physically splitting it in half. After being medically evacuated to a combat theater hospital

Forrest’s mom shapes his character and life by encouraging him to not let anyone discourage him, encouraging him to be himself, saying that “miracles happen everyday”, being very supportive of him, raising him as a single mother, and telling him “stupid
Moving from California to Colorado was literally one of the worst things that have ever happened to me, and it was definitely a life changing experience. I had heard my parents talking about it many months before I knew it was official. It was like I had just watched someone being murdered, and then went to prison for it. I had to tell my friends as soon as I knew we were going for sure, and that was not a fun time. But worst of all was actually getting here and having to go to a new school, starting
