Recommended: The value of life

What makes my life worth writing about? What makes any life worth writing about? The world is filled with 7 billion people, and every single person has a story of their own. Why should my story be transcribed on paper? Firstly, I believe that my life is not any more important than the life of another, but I do think that it has value. In fact, all lives have value, and all lives are filled something that no one has ever discovered before, something that no one has ever experienced or felt. Writing about your life may be the only way another person can encounter this new thing. With that being said, my life may also be relatable to someone. My experiences may be familiar to someone else. For instance, I feel as though I am under tremendous stress as an academically competitive high school student who is also an athlete, has a job, is involved in church and clubs and, is responsible for helping out her family. This may seem mundane to some, but to another, it might be nice to hear the story of someone who experiences the same burdens and problems. …show more content…

I have so many remarkable family members, friends, mentors, and teachers who make up and contribute to my life. My story is a compilation of the stories of my loved ones. Writing about my story means writing about the people who I love and who love me. Also, I think my life is worth recording because through my life, I have touched the lives of others, and others have touched mine. I have experiences that changed my life and the lives of others that are worth reading about. I’m the sister of two adopted boys. I’ve spent countless hours at a local children’s home. I’ve loved. I’ve encouraged. I’ve been the source of someone’s

  • Why I Want To Be A National Honor Society

    902 Words  | 2 Pages

    During the summer or even on weekends my mom would take me with her to go help out her patients. Which included bathing them, feeding them, and caring for them. Not only did I help my mom with her patients but I would always help rake leaves, pick up trash and make their yard look nice. I can’t even image how they would’ve done all the things I did for them with their fragile bodies. I’m glad I was there for them and made a difference. Aside from helping my mom’s patients. I helped an elderly man who was on fire in his backyard. It was around spring time and I heard someone screaming yelling “help” so I went around to look and there he was on fire. I tried so hard to put out the fire and it felt like mission impossible but I did not give up even though the ambulance were on the way. He was burnt pretty bad, but I was so glad I found him. Who knows it could’ve been worse! He is still alive till this day and sits on his porch waiting for me to pass by his house every morning to say good morning. It’s such a wonderful feeling to know that I not only changed a life but I saved

  • Who Is Jacqueline Woodson´s Brown Girl Dreaming?

    567 Words  | 2 Pages

    My family is constantly pushing me to be better at everything I try, even if I don’t want to continue with that activity because “both of my parents were insanely smart and athletic, so I should be too.” During a trip to Westminster Woods, a camp and retreat center, I did an activity that was supposed to help you understand what made you unique in this group of thirty-two kids. When it was my turn to share out what made me unique, I got all choked up and didn't know what to say. I couldn’t think of anything that made me different than all of the people around me. Over the course of the week, the thought that I wasn’t special kept on appearing in my mind. On the last night we did an activity where we were placed in teams of four and we had to discuss what we wanted to do with our lives. At the end of the discussion, something just clicked in my head. That moment for me was like when Jacqueline first wrote her name. I knew that I wanted to be a doctor, and Jacqueline knew she wanted to be a

Like Atticus states in his quote you never really understand what a person is going through until you're literally in there shoes and know how it feels.

  • Writing a Personal Narrative

    473 Words  | 1 Pages

    Personal narratives allow you to share your life with others and vicariously experience the things that happen around you. Your job as a writer is to put the reader in the midst of the action letting him or her live through an experience. Although a great deal of writing has a thesis, stories are different. A good story creates a dramatic effect, makes us laugh, gives us pleasurable fright, and/or gets us on the edge of our seats. A story has done its job if we can say, "Yes, that captures what living with my father feels like," or "Yes, that’s what being cut from the football team felt like."

  • Personal Narrative: The Rest Of My Life

    1092 Words  | 3 Pages

    I now knew what I was meant to do with my life. I was meant to teach. I was meant to be there for those kids like Trey who don’t have anyone else. They need some person in their life to be their protector and someone to look out for them. I can teach them more than just their ABC’s. Trey didn’t have someone at home to care for him so it made it really hard for him to learn. If I can meet the basic need of caring for the kids as a teacher, then it will be so much easier for them to learn. One five year-old little boy changed my life and shaped my future. It wasn’t a big extreme moment, but just something small that opened my eyes. Isn’t it crazy that something so small as a little boy could make me realize what I was meant to do? I will never forget Trey and the impact he made on my

    My past experiences with writing have been a little of both. Besides writing what I wanted my life to be, I would also write about what my life was , the things that I have let make me who I am, broken. The abuse, taking care of my siblings, the penetration, the feeling of the weight of the world on my shoulders because I was 14 & 15 raising my younger siblings. But I honestly love writing it’s like being able to release what you are feeling without being judged by the ones around you.

  • Memoir of My Mother

    1541 Words  | 4 Pages

    It seemed like a normal day when I entered Mrs. A’s AP Language and Composition class, but little did I know that she was going to assign a very important project that was going to take forever. I took my seat and wrote down what was on the board. Then I sat patiently and waited for Mrs. A to come explain what we were doing today. When the tardy bell rang, Mrs. A glided into the room and gave us all a stack of papers. She then proceeded to discuss our upcoming assignment, a memoir. As she explained the very important assignment, I wondered whom I would write about. No one really came to mind to write about and I thought for sure I would never be able to get this thing done on time. I finally decided that I would write in on my mother, Kari Jenson. I knew I would probably put the project off until the very end and do it the weekend before even though it would get on my mom’s nerves. Putting work off was just how I did everything, it worked for me. When I arrived home from school that day, I told mom about the project. I told her I would most likely write it about her and she was overjoyed.

    ... life that I have explained in my poems in that way that you can relate to. I personally think that my poems are really inspiring and I want other people to read them when they are feeling down and get carried away by them. I truly like writing poems because for me that is the only way to escape from reality and enter the world of imagination. I chose this subject as my Personal Project because I thought it related to me the most. To be honest I have faced certain difficulties when I wanted to change my topic but I kept it because the first time you choose something you know it was chosen for a reason and that was what you wanted to do. Even though a lot of challenges might bring you down always remember that you made the choice to keep it because you knew you had the strength to handle it and there was something about it that you have always been interested about.

  • The Importance Of Autobiography Writing

    Interested in writing the story of your life, but never thought of yourself as a writer? Maybe you once had aspirations of writing, but critique, or the responsibilities of life, derailed your dream? Or do you believe that only celebrities have life experiences worth recording for posterity? Autobiography writing can be described as, “the story of your best friend told by your worst enemy.” What is discovered through participating in a weekly Autobiography Writing Workshop is that it is not about grammar or exceptional prose, grades or competition. Living a life of destructive abandon isn’t required to have a story to tell. Autobiography is the journey that is uniquely your own, lived
