I decided to write about my parents’ divorce because it impacted my
life in so many ways. It might’ve been bad to begin with but at the
end of the day it helped me grow and mature in so many ways. It made
me emotionally mature as well as taught me to treat people how I want
to be treated because when my dad hit my mom, and my mom was telling
us about how it felt to her that the person she loved hit her, I
engraved it into my mind that I would never disrespect or lay a
finger on a girl as well as always treat people how I want to be
treated, even if we’re not on the best circumstances. I also chose
this topic because I thought it would be a good opportunity to share
my opinion about bad experiences, a lot of people tend to think that
the pain is forever and or have a mindset that differs from mine. I
like to think about how my experiences have sculpted me into who I
am, no matter how grave the situation is you must always take
something out of it to help yourself grow as an individual. For
example, I recently got into a car accident because I was being
careless and accidentally reversed too quickly when it was dark
outside and I ended up almost tilting my car, it got stuck on the
side of an asphalt road with about four people in the car. My right
front axle and back right axle were caught against the asphalt road
so I couldn’t move it by myself, I had to call a towing company to
try and get it out, it took two towing trucks to take the car out of
the position it was in. I learned to be more cautious when driving. I
was freaking out in the beginning but that was only natural because
of the situation I put myself in. I also engraved into my mind to not
be out as late as I was because it was an inconvenience for me as
well as my friends, but nobody got hurt which is all that mattered to
me. The reason I chose the picture of the dark flowers was because it
symbolized to me the developing stages of life, you can see some
flowers clearer than others and I relate that to situations I’ve been
in, the more I experience the more I can see clearly. I also liked it
because it showed the light coming in from the top which I felt also
correlated to my situation because the light was coming onto the
flowers which meant that there was light in every situation and just
because it’s blurry now doesn’t mean it’s going to be blurry
forever. I also liked how the photograph itself was dark because I
haven’t figured everything out yet so I liked that it emphasized
that I’m not at the light yet.
