My heart racing, unsteady, pacing through the hall, as I look around me with uncertainty in my family's face. On the bed, lies my grandmother struggling from the pain of an illness that had only given her six months to live. I looked upon her painful face only to realize she was once a strong women who could keep up with my immaturity. She fought to the point, which she had to lose one of her legs but her determination still gave her the motivation to keep living only to see the ones she loved. She surpassed six months but another problem occurred, she fell into a deep coma only having a 10 percent chance of ever coming back. The most difficult question had faced us, "Do you want to pull the plug?". My parents confronted me and asked my opinion, I never thought my grandma would be seen in such a fragile state but "Lola would want us to be happy and she deserves the peace that she has been waiting for.". We gathered around her with her last final moments of life, a smile on her face was what I remember. Then, she was gone leaving tears of happiness running down my cheeks.

That moment, I learned how life will have some difficult obstacles along the way that will seem impossible to get over. Choices will have to be made and I just have to go along on what I believe. To see my grandma struggle in that difficult situation encouraged me to never give up. Throughout high school, I faced critical moments at times, I thought to myself, my immature self would not be able to handle the pressure but I knew complaining would not solve anything. My maturity has changed since that time and I am determined to always look on to the future.. My next goal along the road is going to be college. I don't know what surprises will it have in stored for me but I won't let anything obstacles stand in my way. Life can knock you down as my times but all you have to do is get up on your feet even more.
