defining moments
Some people are greatly affected by things that happen to their generation, because there are no personal events that help define them. Other people are defined by the events that have taken place in their personal lives. I am defined as a person through the events that have happened to me personally. This essay is about a few of the many events that have defined me.As far as I can remember, I’ve always looked up to my father and always wanted to be around him. Maybe this was because he was hardly ever around. He was a heroin addict that didn’t have respect for himself, so didn’t have any to give others. He was in and out of jail, on and off the street. It seemed like he would never change and be their for his family. Then one day, he was sent to prison for 11 years. This day was December 22, 1988. My mother’s birthday was the day before, and Christmas was three days away. Finally, he started to show a different side and began to make promises of devoting himself to the family, going to be the father his two sons desperately needed and the husband his wife had thought she married. My mother worked the graveyard shift and came home to take my brother and I to school, then went to her part time
