Recommended: The role of a parent

Growing up, the word “father” was a correlation to the man I knew in my life. I knew I came from somewhere, yet I could not put my finger on why things were not like how they were on TV. A white picket fence, a mother and father in this average sized house, but that was far from my reality. I lived a life that was filled with joy, yet, there was always an empty part that I was constantly searching for. My parents were high school sweethearts and soon after they met I was born. My parents had a debate on what my name should be. My mother wanted my name to be Elizabeth, and my father wanted my name to be Grace. When my mother gave birth, they both agreed on Elizabeth Grace. My mother influenced me to become the woman I am today. No matter what

  • Personal Narrative: Sacrifice

    1039 Words  | 3 Pages

    “I did it for my family” a short phrase that most would conceive as symbol of sacrifice. But what is sacrifice? Is it the idea that you put your life on the line for pride or is it the idea you put your life on the line for a purpose. Throughout the time I have worked for the courts I have seen multiple cases in which the idea of sacrifice can be applied. Significantly there are cases where a person is forced to carry drugs across the desert from Mexico; these people are known in society as “backpackers.” Each of the backpackers that come through these courts comes with bold stories of their motives of sacrifice. As they stand before the court confused and alone of the American justice system, they are held with tough legal decision of the
