My Maternal Grandfather Passed Away
This happened in my adolescence stage. It had been a Saturday morning when my family and I got the news of my grandfather's passing. He had been sick, but we had not been expecting to lose him so soon. It was especially hard because he had been in another country (Cameroon), so we had to travel in order to attend his funeral. I had been close with my grandfather, and every time I go to Cameroon, I visit his grave and pray with him. -

Got attacked by a random man at the train station
I had been sitting down at the train station waiting for the train to go visit my family. I had been on FaceTime with my friend when a random man that I did not know and never had contact with, randomly hit me in the face with an object he had in a sock. It was a very traumatic experience and I had to go to the ER all by myself. I am just grateful that I ended up being okay and alive because it could've been worse.
