Life changing (Big points!!)

Ok so like, Ive gotta lotta points and I just love hosting constests, so here we go again!

What I want is life changing experiences. I want you to write about something that happened to you that directed your life on a completely different path. It can be good or bad, big or small.
Small experiences can change your life, even if you don't realize it. Think about it! Get creative! I will be judging on the creativity of your piece, so give me something original!

Okay so here are the dreadful rules (Boo)
1. limited cursing
2. No bashing!!
3. I will allow prewrites if I feel that your PW fits the criteria, but I'd rather read something new!
4. No novels please
5. BE CREATIVE! ORIGINAL! if it's not a very original situation, then make it interesting!!
6. It must be something that actually changed your life, and explain how it changed your life in the AN!

Lets see who actually reads
**DONT FOLLOW MY RULES AND YOU WILL BE DQ'D...PERIOD!**
So get to it!! Big points for gold so make it good!!

    700 points for gold is not big really, if it were BIG points, it would be at least 1000.

    Thank you so much for the cup! I have a lot of respect for Danna Hobart as a poet, and so I feel quite honored to be recognized along side her. My congrats to her and to XQGX on their trophies.
