Realization in Life

Is life an item in life? Is life something that you want to remember or cherish? I never knew that death could lead to a career choice. From learning in my lifetime that there are ups and downs, even struggles. Although, there are a lot of family struggles age ten was the worst year of my life . That one year caused emotions all the time, a lot of yelling at each other. Every person at one point in their life goes through a tough day that deals with family or a tragic event that occurred. Today, the struggles and tough days of that one year shaped the path for the future. When I lost 4 people in my family that is when I decided to go into the medical field and become a nurse. Even though I went through a lot of family loss it does not mean that people around me have experienced death as I did. Death is one of the things that can hurt but also help me. Death helped lead me to what I want to study for my career. Even though I needed to learn to move on from what happened, to realize that family will never come back , and chose my career from the event that impacted me most.

When death happened for the first time in my life, I did not think that I could ever continue without my twin brother. Having family means the world to me. The family is one important part of life that I will never take for granted. In 2012, I never did think that I was going to be the same as before my whole life changed. That same year during summer the first week I got the call that my uncle had passed from stomach cancer. That tore me apart, that man was the one person I felt comfortable talking to and not afraid to tell him everything. Then, after having a fantastic day with family at the beach I had lost my brother later that night. My life had ended when I lost him. When, my brother died it was a reality check that I have to do things on my own now. Three months later my aunt called me and said that my grandmother is in the hospital and the doctors are saying no more than 24 hours. I had then hit my breaking point. I was stuck in life; I did not know how to continue anymore. Even though I lost a lot that year, I still think today that if this event would not have occurred I would not be on the path that I am on now.

Death was one of the hardest effect on me. I was sitting there every day hoping that my family would come back. After my parents telling me that they would never come back I was still stuck in the situation they will come back it is just for a short period of time. First, concept to even beginning to think about is coming to the realization that they will not come back. This is probably the worst element to realize. Later , having the family help that was there; when I needed them most was amazing. If it was not for the officers in Munster or family I would be down the negative path. I believed that it was all my fault that my family members passed. The realization that it was not my fault that I could not help all is when life hit me. I need to figure out what I want to do with my life.

This experience brought me to the path and career that I want to do for the rest of my life. The day that I lost my brother made me realize that I could not help that day but I want to be able to help other people in their time of need. I started wondering what part of the medical field that I want to be in whether it be a nurse, EMT, doctor, work in the ER. All the ideas for the medical field was looked into. I decided when I was sixteen that I wanted to be a nurse including the work in an emergency room. It is not a great situation that death occurred in my family. I look at the deaths as a mind opener that I wanted to help my family and could not but just the thought that I can help someone after high school; is completely worth all the tears , and the hard days. I thank god every day for

Throughout my lifetime I ended up learning that there are a lot of ups and downs, life and death situations. When, I lost the most important people in my life it made me decide that I am going into the medical field. In two-thousand twelve I never once thought that I would be able to wake up every day and be the same. This experience helped me to the path and career that I want for the rest of my life. The death that affected me most was my brother we did literally all things possible; then I had to come to the realization that he was not coming back and I had to do things alone. The realization for me through this whole experience is that I could not help my family when they needed the help at their type of need but I want to be able to be there next to people to help calm and try my best to help the family members of others. Where I now make all the tears and hard days’ worth it.
