Ok so I really wish I didn't have to ask for help, and that this wasn't my first thread. But I need help with using commas, and I got an essay thats due. Thing is I always get everything except for conventions, right. So I need some help with it. I got all the commas, that I can tell. Also, if anyone can sorta of teach me how to use them, that'd be great. I ask my English teacher, but I just can't do it. I'm decent in English class. Buts its not history or math, so I'm kinda useless. And here is my essay.
NOT: This is just on commas, and sentence structure that I'm asking for help with, not the essay it self. Also, this essay is not true, we were asked to make one up. And once again I feel bad for doing this, it feels like I'm just using you guys.
Everyone has a moment in their life where it changes your out look on life, or even the world. I had one of these moments a coupe of years ago, when my grandfather, and uncle died within a week of each other. It took our whole family by surprise, and it made me want to live life to its fullest, with no regrets, because life is short and harsh.
Back when I was in fifth grade, my grandfather was very sick, so when his death came it was very much expected. He meant a lot to me, and whenever I went out to see him, or he came home to visit me, I was always happy. But on the day he passed away, it was so hard for me to swallow, since I was so young I didn?t understand the concept of life or death quite yet. Less then a week after my grandfather?s death, my uncle passed away too.
I remember that this death shocked us all. He was young and in good shape, even though he had died because of a heat attack. When my uncle died, I seemed to realize something, that death can be unexpected. Sure we all know it will come to us one day, but when we are prepared for it we accept our fate. In the case of my uncle, his death was shocking, and in some ways even more heart breaking, because we weren?t ready for him to die. Had he been sick like my grandfather, we would have been ready for it. I had animals die before unexpectedly, but this concept just never hit me until now. The death of two close relatives, was hard enough for any one to handle, let alone a ten year old.
Now that years have passed and I had much time to reflect on what happened. I see how this changed me to be a better person. I take chances in life, since who knows whether or not we?ll be here tomorrow, anything could happen. Sometimes it is necessary for things like this to happen, for others to grow up and change who they are.
Through life we have experiences that change us. These can be for the better or for the worse. In my case it was for the better, I take chances, and make opportunities for myself. Trying my best to live life to the fullest, in case something terrible happens to me. This is something that I believe more people should do in their life so that they have no regrets when their time comes.
