Recommended: Personal experience of bullying

Throughout my life, there have been 2 important events that have helped me become who I am today. The first event is bullying the occurred in 1st grade. The second event is volleyball in 8th grade. After moving from Ethiopia to Washington D.C, my life wasn't as easy as it was back at home. Finding a place to stay on the first day of moving was extremely hard considering the fact that we (my father, my brother, and I ) did not know anyone in this state. I remember one taxi driver stopped to give my family money and took us to a hotel because he understood what we were going through. About a week or so later, we found an apartment to stay (all sharing one room together). I also started school and thus the bullying began. There were many issues

  • Personal Narrative Essay Writing

    1221 Words  | 3 Pages

    A couple of weeks ago, the class was assigned a personal narrative essay and the prompt was to tell an interesting story of a specific experience that changed how you acted, thought, or felt. To be honest, I was awfully excited to write this essay because talking about myself is the easiest thing to write about sometimes. However, deciding what experience to talk about was challenging because I have already experienced so much in my seventeen years of being alive from dislocating my hip when I was three, to seeing my grandfather die in front of my eyes, from almost tripping off of the trail on the Grand Canyon, to meeting band members at an airport. Writing this essay brought me many challenges, I did not know what topic to choose, I had no

    Many experiences that did not seem academically oriented but became such because my parents steered them that way by tying them learning. I know these helped me at school - I vividly remember sitting in a first grade class wondering why the other students did not know things I already knew, like how the astronauts came back to Earth after having gone to the moon and that snakes are not out in the winter. I could not understand, all through school, why some people could not remember what we read or learned in class because it all seemed to stick with me. Now I know

So coming up with something that is not commonly experienced is not the easiest. But luckily enough, an event that may fit that description happened almost a year ago.

  • Personal Narrative: Who I Think I Am

    419 Words  | 1 Pages

    Who I think I am? I’m not exactly sure who I think I am or how to describe who I think I am. I tend to act differently around certain people. Constantly changing to try to seek approval. Constantly in fear of accidentally doing something wrong; that I might say something wrong and all my friends will abandon me or leave me for someone better. I think this fear came from when my best friend was taken from me. I had known her since preschool, but she had met another girl and she stopped talking to me completely. I’m in constant fear that this will happen to me again, so I struggle to be accepted. I don’t want to be forgotten again.

  • Lesson Learned

    There are so many events that change one’s life that it is rather difficult to try and decipher which of those events are most important. Each event changes a different aspect of your life, molding how one’s personality turns out. One of these events occurred when I was about twelve years old and I attempted to steal from a Six Flags amusement park. My reasoning for stealing wasn’t that I didn’t have the money, or even that I wanted what I stole all that badly, it was that all of my friends had stolen something earlier that day and didn’t get caught. After getting caught I resolved, because the consequences are just not worth it, never to steal or give into peer pressure again.
