significant experience
A very significant experience that happened in my life occurred when I was around 11 years old in the 6th grade. My brother, who at the time was probably 7 or 8 years old, had a very terrible accident. Everything happened very rapidly as we were getting ready for school on a typical morning, though in the end, it turned out not to be a typical day at all. The day started as my mom woke us up to get ready for school. She was rushing us because she was getting late for work, so she woke my grandmother up to look after us and left for work.
