          All of us surely have turning points in life, because we all have challenges and happiest events in our life. Theses turning points can also help us. We can learn from our mistakes and we can be proud of what we have done before.

          First of all, one of my turning points is my achievement in school. I graduated as the valedictorian of my elementary. That big achievement made me so happy. I really did my best to achieve that and to give honor to my family. Although I know I can’t pay back all the love they’ve given me, that is one way of showing how much I love them too. I prove them that I can do anything just to make them happy. My whole family was so happy for me knowing that I will have a good future. They said that this will be my stepping stone to success. I said to them that I will not reach that goal without them there beside me.

          My second turning point was the death of my grandparents. My grandparents are the persons who taught me the best lessons of life. They let me grow in a nice, peaceful way. I really love them as what they do. I’m so lucky to have the. They are always there to cheer me up whenever I’m sad. They never let me down. And you know what? I’m their favorite grand daughter. One time, unexpected news came. My grandparents died and I’m very shock. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how I could accept the fact that they’re not with me anymore. Tears fell from my eyes. I hug them even they’re not breathing anymore. I’m so depressed when they died. There comes a time that I’m not eating or even talking. This is the only time I experience a big loneliness.  

          And my last turning point is when I passed the Cavite National Science High School entrance exam. Before I took the entrance exam I really did not expect to pass. But when they said the students who pass the first test, I’m included and I’m very happy. I also pass the next test. And then the last is the interview. This interview is their basis to put the students in their corresponding section. This time, I have negative thoughts. I’m thinking that I’ll be on the lowest section, but when they post I’m in the Nitrogen section that they are saying the highest of all the sections. I’m grateful because I know that my parents will be so proud of me. They really want me to pass here because they know that this is a high quality school.

            Now, I want to share that those turning points have changed my life. Those things played a big part in my life. I learned to accept the truths and failures. I learned to treasure the significant moments in my life. I’m thankful to God because He’s giving me challenges in life where I can get important lessons of life and giving me chance to change or correct mistakes. Turning points play a big part in a person’s life. But whatever happens in your life, just trust God and everything will be alright. Life goes on.
