The death of a dear friend is one of the most heartbreaking experiences one can face in life. A friend of mine named Husam died in a dramatic jet ski accident a couple of years ago. He was a very kind and generous person, always there for his peers and constantly committed to assisting them in different situations. Husam was the type who never refuses to grant a favor to someone as long as he has the ability. His death was one of the most traumatizing moments of my life and it took me some time to digest it. It took me quite a while to adjust to life without his presence. The loss of such a dear friend caused a harsh change in the direction of my life, impacting my behavior, lifestyle and beliefs. To begin with, the death of a dear friend changed my life by influencing my behavior, as it was like a wake. call that made me think about my bad habits. Behavior describes the range of ways and actions that shape the personality of human beings. It is often adapted through systems, the environment, or close relationships with other individuals. Once adapted, it can only be changed by the experiences one faces throughout life. I consider Husam's death one of those experiences that changed my behavior. I slowly began to replace those ways and actions that I thought were unpleasant with ones that were better and that described him better. For example, whenever I found myself undecided whether or not to help someone in need, I chose to help him because it made me think about how he would behave in such a situation. This was because every time I did a good deed, I felt a sense of connection with him that I couldn't feel in his absence. For this reason, I have adopted many things from t...... half of the document ......efs about death and how short life is now changed. Now I tend to implement life's demands instantly and efficiently, for example, I started paying more attention to my religious beliefs and focusing on building a closer relationship with God because, in reality, we never know when we might leave this world. As a result of my change in beliefs, I learned to build a sense of motivation to perform and to have more confidence in myself, confident that I can accomplish anything. To conclude, I can never forget the memories I had with Husam, whether they were bad or good memories. Whenever I want to make a decision, I always refer to what Husam would do if he were in my place, and I believe that if it had not been his death, I would not have become the man I am today. Husam's death changed the direction of my life by influencing my behaviors, lifestyle and beliefs.
