For many people, the death of their grandparents means the loss of a very close relative,who was given an important role in their lives. After the death of a grandmother, a person can experience many emotions. The loss of a dear person is frightening and unsettling. Even though Death is a natural part of life that we have to deal with sooner or later. The loss of my grandmother was the biggest tragedy that I have experienced. The main reason is the fact that she was the one who always worried about me. She was closer to me than my parents because they were mostly busy at their jobs. My grandmother always accompanied me throughout my childhood. But anyway what hurts more about my grandmothers death was that she went to mexico to visit our other family that lives their over their, so I wasn't with her for her last days but what makes me even sadder is that the day she died I did not talk to her on the phone it wasn't till hours later that our family from mexico had called us to tell us that my grandmother had passed away. when I heard the news I remember how much I started to cry, on the day of her funeral I remember being so bad at my family that lived in mexico because they didn't tell us that my grandmother had fallen sick, the day we found out she had fallen sick was the same day we heard the news of her passing.

Since I am a high School student, most people would say that I have my entire life and many experiences ahead of me. But despite being so Young, I already have had a heart-stopping experience, which I am sure I will remember for a long time. It all started with my dad telling us that he was going to take us to go ride a boat. It was a life-changing experience. The day was so beautiful and the sun was so bright. After so much time had passed we started to see dolphins and sea lions, it started to get cold because of the water so my dad bought some hot chocolate for me and my sisters and of course some snacks to go with it. after some time had passed me and my sisters started to take more pictures and that when my sister dropped her phone but luckily it didn't fall in the water just imagining that her phone had fallen in the water makes me laugh cause I know she would have started crying on the spot. Well this was part of my experience going on a boat with my family.

I never really knew exactly how I felt about starting high school. While I was excited to make new friends and learn new things, I was also very nervous about finding my way around. I also knew the work would be difficult, so I was dreading that, But I also Knew that there were so many extra-curricular activities and that I would have a blast. All these feelings are built into one confusing emotion. This made me so nervous and scared to start a new year of school. As soon as I saw the school my heart started beating. I felt like it was about to run away, I know crazy but that was how scared I was. I walked into my first class and skimmed the whole class. no one I knew, great. Well this was what was going through my head the first day of school.
