One experience that has really shaped me into the person I am today is when my grandpa had a stroke. Although it was a very tragic experience it was a very great way to bond with my family. We all had to help each other through it and make sure everyone was ok. I had to help my grandma and mom through it and I had to learn how to take care of people. I also learned to be grateful for everything and you never know when you could lose somebody. I have learned to try to always be positive and not get mad at my family or friends because you never know when it will be the last time you see them. I have always learned to take risks and not try to be scared of trying new things. This experience has taught me to live my life without fear and not be afraid to try new things. Life is short, and it will go by very fast if you don't live in the moment.
