What experience in your life has made the most impact on you?

Losing my father when I was 16 - I had been a daddy's girl all my life and was lost without him.

My daughter - having kids was something I did not want, but I can't imagine my life without her.

When I was a baby about 12 months I was involved in a war in Iraq. I was born there. I am from there. Anyways, by surving this war and by just picturing it in my mind I say wow and I feel strong and happy like a survivor. I feel like if I can survive this then I can survive anything. I mean My parents lost everything they had;their apartment,clothes,money,food, but there's one thing they didn't lose that was important and thats me and my sister. Now I have four sisters. It has an impact on me because it made me realize who I was or where I came from and what I have been through along with my parents. Remember parents are very important to you. They are everything. And according to what I wrote I wouldn't be today if it wasn't for my parents. Think about it. In the war broken windows in the apartment, no lights, everyone's trying to sleep then comes the bomb that crashed almost every apartment. Fire and broken glass all over the ground. It was crazy and impossible. I think about it everyday and I say thank you God. I should be very happy and proud of myself and my parents. It's all just one big scary and also important experience and even though I was just one years old, I can feel it in my heart and see it through my soul. It's still there inside my mind and will never go away.

I was in a landslide once. Fell one hundred and ten feet off of rock onto rock. When I hit, my elbow broke off, three of my internal organs exploded and my hips shattered. As I lay there, the rock supporting me started to crack under my weight and I see five feet away was another cliff. I could do nothing but look to the sky and as I did so I said,"Lord I am yours to do with as you please." At that exact moment two doctors appeared.. remember this I was a little jut in the face of a two thousand foot cliff. They had been repelling down the mountain and had seen me fall. One helicopter ride later, here I am. They rebuilt me...made me stronger. Yup that's right I made a full recovery, in fact the next year I ran the Chicago marathon.

Giving birth to my daughter at age 17. Its changed my life in so many ways. I went through some struggles but it was all worth it. I have a beautiful family now.

My daughter's birth, back in September of 2005. Everything turned out so well, despite what was going on throughout the pregnancy. =)

Also, my experience with software/game programming. Very thankful for both! =)

i have this 7 yr old causin who has a brain tumor, cancer. And seeing her like that is what has changed my life because she is so willing to do every single thing the doctor asks her to do, she never complains, it is such a lesson for me, sometimes i feel like life is like having a cancer but i am not really willing to go through the treatment in order to make it better, she taught me otherwise.

I stayed in New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina.
