NIGHT--life-changing moments

LA9:


In Night, Eliezer has a life-changing experience that brings him to tears:  he has to watch a young, beautiful boy die slowly through being hanged.  On top of this, once the small child is dead, he must walk by him and stare at his face.  This experience is something he will never forget.  We see that by experiencing this, Eliezer is more thankful for what he has, more appreciative of the little things in life, and has probably also changed in a lot of other ways.


In life, we all have experiences, though maybe not as drastic as this one, that change us forever.  Below, please tell us a short summary of a life-changing experience you have had--it doesn't have to be sad, it can be something that inspired you or made you happy as well.
