Impact-Monday, July 27 Question 1
We all have situations in our life that has shaped who we are and what we want to be. I have very special moments in my life that made me who I am now, and who i want to be in the future. Is there a specific moment that impacted your life and made a difference for ever?

On the real though its been allot of impactive things that have occured in my life. I grew up on da west side of chicago in i have allot influence from my neighborhood that has much impact on me. For instance the way i dress on my block people white tee it up, so naturally im gone white tee it up. (laughing out loud)
ReplyDeleteWell I did have to leave all my family and friends behind when I moved to America and pretty much had to start life over so yea it impaced my life but now I am used to it and found new friends here and have been visiting my family in Lithuania about every 2 years I want to complete college here in Chicago and than see where life takes me.
ReplyDeletein the winter of 2007, i saw my first musical. i saw the musical wicked in chicago with my best friend. watching everyone on stage singing and dancing and interacting with the crowed and the audience. somehow simultaneously. watching them, feeling how i felt watching them. made me want to do the same thing. i wanted to make people feel the way that i felt. as cheesy as it sounds, it felt like i was in Oz watching the life of the witches from the side lines. then finally this past spring, i landed my first staring role in the musical Les Miserables Student edition. that roll made my decision that i wanted to do that for the rest of my life. being able to go out into public places and be recognized for my hard work and hearing about how people got so wrapped up in my character and about the emotions i brought out in them. that is the most rewarding thing i could ever ask for...
ReplyDeleteThere has been a couple things that have impacted my life, nothing really major. I mostly impacted other peoples life, i think. When i was in high school people would come up to me and ask to help them with problams they have. Some people even told there friends to find me and to help them with problams. I don't know what it is or any thing, it seems like every body comes to me. Yea i have my own proablams, but i would rather help other people then my self. Have any body feel like that, your friends come up to you and ask for your help?
ReplyDeleteI really feel like people are put on earth for a reason.In november 2008 I met a guy name Elliot Washington.About 7 months later i was sitting on the computer and i randomly thought whatever happened to Elliot. I found his brother on facebook and me and elliot began our relationship. Over the year he has taught me so much and changed my life in so many different ways. Before i met him i was doing terribly in school and just not really caring about anything. He has given me the self esteem to become a goal driven and confident young woman. My whole personality changed and matured so much just over this past year. My judgement and decision making skills are much stronger overall. I also never thought about my future until i met him i always knew i wanted to be something BIG! I just never knew what. I guess i always felt that i needed someone behind me and in front to guide me, push me, and show me the way.
ReplyDeleteThere are many things that have shaped me into being the person that I am today because I have been through so much in the past. The fact that I lost my mother three years ago to being given medication that she was allergic to while being in the hospital, has made me want to become a Pharmacist.I want to learn about all the different medications out here and maybe prevent a situation like that from happening another person's loved one.
ReplyDeleteLaCoulton....i seriously cant even...just words dont describe....well atleast your expressing yourself. But i understand what your saying and its true in some cases if you let it be. Like i said i am from my neighborhood i am not my neighborhood. But on the otherhand going to a perdominantly white catholic all girls highschool you are what your around. My outlook on alot of things have changed going to that school. You just have to pick and choose what you sponge in from your surroundings and life experiences.
ReplyDeletelaurynas...why did you move to america?
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 4 years old my parents took me to a Ballet show. My moms friend was one of the performers in the show. The lights dimmed and they started dancing, it was amazing, it was something new for me. After the show we went back stage to congretulate Denise(my moms friend). I hugged Denise and I told her that I loved the performance. She carried me and did a spin with me in her arms. From that moment I knew that I was going to Dance.
ReplyDeleteThere has been a lot that impacted my life today. I was raised on the Southside of Chicago in a very good neighborhood, so I didn't witness a lot of violence or hardship as others. I grew up spoiled being my Daddy's youngest daughter and my Mother's only daughter. I think because my parents grew up completely different than the way I did it made me think that I have no excuse not to do well in school as well as in anything else I chose to do. My parents impacted me to be grateful for what I have and not to feel ashamed for the things I don't. Because materialistic wants don't make a person. I took that to heart because I notice that having nice clothes, shoes, a hi-tech phone, etc doesn't define me as a person.
ReplyDeletejacki...i have like almost the same thing happen to me but only mine has been for the past couple months. i dated someone for a year and i thought they were the one for me...but then i found out they had cheated on me numerous times and had made fun of me behind my back...so that obviously was a horrid waste of time. except ... what i felt was real and i could never find that feeling ever again. i began to feel useless...like my purpose in life had faded and i wasnt gonna get it back. i started failing classes, missing rehearsals..not caring about what people thought of me. it just wasnt a good situation. i felt that way up until may of this year. i met someone who gave me that feeling i longed for. even tho he lives in freaking nebraska i dont want to ever let myself get that way again. i feel like i have a purpose again. like my goals are achievable cause he supports every decision i make... he might not agree with some of them...but he supports them :) ... soo were on the same boat...with our flippy flopps... lmao.. oh god....aaaaand thats my cue.
ReplyDeleteHhhmmm i am very intrigued there miss but yes that is very tru you do sponge up yo area. Thats the way it is though you pick in choose how you present yourself. You said you went to a catholic school did you have alot of nuns?
ReplyDeleteIts a question I ask my self sometimes but I was 10 and it was my parents decision and they wanted a better living and also want me and my brother to get a higher education and succeed.
ReplyDeleteKurt! i know like we shouldnt base our lives on relationships but doesnt it feel nice to have like that one person thats like your BEST BEST FRIEND and like LOVE at the same time its just a nice feeling!Its like having a #1 FAN!
ReplyDeleteLaCoulton...yes we had nuns and brothers! it was a convent. Some of the teachers were nuns and ex. nuns!The nuns were usually the harder teachers.
yeah it is :) even tho he is so far away... he is the last person i talk to on the phone before i go on stage and the first person as soon as i get off... and when i check my phone at intermission...i have about 5 texts from him saying that im doing amazing and that he is proud to have a boyfriend like me... and he isnt even there to see it. its just amazing to have someone like that :)
ReplyDeletehaha did the nuns spank yall with rullers(jus kidding) but yeah i went to a catholic school in grade school and yeah them nun teachers be stuck up. i wonder why they were so mean to me.
ReplyDeleteThats so nice!Since were going to stay in touch during the year because were in love! WE should take a trip there! Are you ever nervous going on stage i used to be so scared during rehersal and then when i get on stage everything comes to me! Its crazy!
ReplyDeletehaha yeah im the same way..like... i get reeeeallly nervous right before i go on... but as soon as the lights shine on me, im a whole different person and i just snap into the character and i dont become kurt again till the end of the show. some of my cast mates call me crazy kurt cause i never snap out of character even when im off stage...like..if my character is pissed off...im pissed off still as i walk off and wait to go back on. lmao.
ReplyDeleteand where are we going? lmao
ReplyDeleteNun teachers are not mean they just have had so much time to think that they just know exactly how they want everything to be. To me nuns live their life in routine and they know how they want everything to be in uniform like a doll house nothing can be out of the ordinary or against the rules!
ReplyDeleteYes, it funny that you asked that, because I just wrote about that in my last response. I wrote about how a moment in my life really impacted my descisions now and made me somewhat of a better person. It how me and my friend were walking home one day, and he got robbed and shot three times right in front of his house. I made a vow that week to never let my friends walk alone.
ReplyDeleteI thinkI've been most impacted by music in general, I was gonna try to pinpoint it, but I can't. I love writing songs, and I love making beats, so I would say my parents forcing their old music on me as a child and when I finally got to start picking my own music choices, kinda helped me, so now I just love all music and I want to spend the rest of my life making music
ReplyDeleteI love music and everything that it represents. My first life changing moment came when i attented Kanye Wests' "Glow In The Dark" tour. Everything from the stage props to the great sound audio impacted my life and the field I chose to get into.
ReplyDeleteI think a moment that really impacted my life was when my brother moved out to Texas. The one person in my family that I felt the closest to is gone. It made me realize that I don't need him to depend on. It helped me to really get in touch with the fact that without my brother, I am perfectly fine.
ReplyDeleteMichael c.. Yes, I would help my friends with their problems. I'm a great listener and I can always think of somthing comforting to say. Overall we helped each other. At one point or another we will all need a friend to talk to for advise. I feel blessed to have my best friend that has never left my side. He has been there with me even when he didn't agree with what I was doing. Things like these make me realize how much I love him, and that I would have not been able to make it through with out him. Do you have someone in your life that you can't imagine living with out?
