I had been in the hospital a couple years ago and it had been the third time that I had been in the hospital in a 2 year span. It was important to me because it shaped my beliefs and who I am as a person. It shaped my beliefs in a way that it taught me to be thankful for every day that I have to live. In another way it taught me trust God witheverything that I have. In the end that event shaped who I am as person and how I live this life.
