"A Chase" Reaction

The essay story by Annie Dillard was one of the stories I can mostly relate to. In this story she writes about when she was a kid and she was almost one of the boys. She remembers doing all the things usually boys do like playing football and making pranks. She writes about one time that she had an impact in her life. This particular day she was hanging around with the boys and throwing snow balls at some of the cars passing by. One of the snow balls hit the windshield of a car and a man came out and started to chase her and another boy. I can just imagine how scared she most of felt. When the man finally catches up with her he just simply walked away. I remember things similar to this happen to me when i was younger and in my case I learned to never do it again, but I felt really excited at the same time. Doing something dangerous almost brought me to an other extend of life. In the story she mention that if she were to die she would die happy. In her case the situation felt like a rush and she liked it.

Life

What is life to you?

A couple of days ago, I didn't really know what direction my life was going. What life is to me is such a broad subject. The only thing I can say that life to me is not to have a big expensive house or labrador to take care of my Mercedes. What I believe life is to me is finding a person you want to share your laughs and tears with. Life to me is becoming successful in my own way. Being successful to me is having a career that you enjoy doing for 80 years or more. I build my own success by doing what makes me happy. My life is having my family always around me to support me. Life to me is also caring for my mother and my grandmother that have been there for me all my life. I have done things in my life that I regreat doing, but that is also part of my life. I have learned from the mistakes i have made in the past and that is what keeps me going to my life in the future.
