Personal Narrative- Life as a Journey The journey of life follows a predetermined pattern; we evolve from needing influence and guidance to finally reaching that point where our lives are up to us. I consider myself very lucky up to this point in my journey. Some people become sidetracked and wind up on a far different course than initially planned, but the detours I made have only assisted in embellishing the individual instead of devouring it. According to Freud a person's most important
A Perilous Journey-Personal Narrative A perilous journey; the perfect phrase to describe my entire eighteen year life. As far back as I can recall, I have been running into numerous trials and tribulations that had to be resolved before I was able to progress further. Some of these issues are still being dealt with at present. Dealing with these issues is something of an ongoing process I suppose. One such issue is my difficult relationship with my parents. Although I love and care for
High school has been a relentless path. These four years of my high school career have had their excitements and their downfalls. My life had turned into one that no person would ever imagine enduring, an experience so horrible that it changed my philosophy and outlook on life. On September 23rd 2012, my father passed away from a heart attack. My father was not only a loving parent but was also a great motivator. He always used to tell me “don’t give up,” and that is something I held on to. Not only
Eternal Journey After the dog days of summer, it was finally the first day of school. I was super excited about being a fourth grade student. One of the biggest reasons for this excitement was being able to take an English course for the first time. My cousin, Mehmet, was an English teacher and he taught me some basic words and forms of English during the summer, so I was feeling ready to learn English at school. I was surprised when I saw Mr. Tayfun in our class, because he was our math teacher
A new journey “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” Said (Mark Twain). A very long time ago, I stopped by this inspiration quote and been gathering my thoughts for any decisions that might have an impact on my life in the long run. At that time, I felt like I am puzzled and distracted of what to do and what decision should I go for. I had been thinking a lot of that new challenge in my life, and I wanted to make well-planned decisions to secure my future. Besides that, I had been thinking
Predestined journey xi The night was spent and I quickly ran away after I woke up early in the morning and started the errands. I was wandering how he was doing sleeping on the floor but assumed everything was alright with him. We had regular schedule as of previous day. That was the season of harvesting maize down to the field and that what we were doing most of the days. On the same way we went to the field and started to work as previous time. He didn 't seem that much talkative on that day
the rest of my belongings in my mother’s red Kia. I haven’t left my parent’s house yet and I already felt bottom pit feeling in my stomach, the feeling of already being homesick. Finally, I am moving from my nest and I open up my wings to begin my journey to a pathway on finding a name for myself. I knew this is what I always wanted, but I couldn’t believe it is finally happening. I said my goodbyes to pets, they made this move so much harder for me. I took one more glance at my house, I look around
My achievement of becoming literate in both English and Spanish, after overcoming a myriad of obstacles distinguishes my literacy history. Writing was one of the things I didn’t like to do as a child. I always thought writing was a waste of time and that I wasn’t going to need it in life. Even though I didn’t invest much time writing, I was one of the best writers in all my classes, probably because I was very dedicated in the other subjects and I loved reading adventure books. I learned how to read
Starting at my early childhood I was forced to walk, crawl or ride a bike to get to where I needed to go, the next step was driving. I wasn 't sure if I was ready to drive, but I knew it was the next step towards adulthood. Driving is an essential tool that many adults in the real world cannot live without. Learning from my mistakes when I first started to drive helped shape me as a woman, but it was not easy at first trying to adjust. Driving meant that I was becoming an adult and that I had to
The Journey to the Top High school is a one of the most important parts of a person’s life. It is a stepping stone to the rest of their life. It is a journey that people take to prepare them for success in the real world. My journey in high school was quite a crazy one. From having to start as a freshman at a brand new school, with no friends, to working hard in some pretty tough classes to become the senior I am now. It has been rough, but I believe that my journey to the top has prepared me for
