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
Influential Experience in Life- Personal Narrative I’m sitting here on a cold Wednesday morning on a cold Wednesday morning bored out of my mind having just been given my SATs result (a five I think that’s rubbish). All I can hear is the names of people in my class and a number it sort of reminds me of bingo that I used to go to with my nana since, well, forever. As I’m telling you this I feel as though I should tell you about the amazingly boring things that have happened to me between
Personal Narrative- Living a Life of Humility For the only thing we have to shame is shame itself. Perhaps the name of Amy Tan’s mother will never be remembered like that of FDR, but the truth behind her words rings just as loud. To be different is an aspect of human nature that we are to be proud of, regardless of whether it’s socially hip or socially degrading. To be proud of something is to consider it worthy of honor, and that’s precisely what we must do- honor our individuality by becoming
Have you ever felt that you were a horrible person, or your life was just not going well. I have many times in my short fifteen years on this Earth. When I think what I would want to have a somewhat perfect life I would want to be attractive, have money, and get straight A's. That sounds like a typical teenagers dreams and I really wish it could happen. Maybe one day I might be perfect but I am pretty sure being perfect is different for everyone. I think I look okay, I mean I have boys that look
I believe that life is all about consciously improving yourself, and putting as much effort as you possibly can into what you do. The more you push to improve, the closer you come to your goals, which can be long-term like graduating, or as short as going to sleep at a reasonable time. Everything anyone strives for comes down to self-improvement. Every single thing you do can either advance you in life or set you back. If you are not searching for ways to improve, then you will end up behind the
Personal Narrative- My Life as a Student, Athlete and Christian “I knew this was bliss, knew it at the time.” These words of Eudora Welty, although expressing her feeling from devouring book after book, can also be applied to my life. While not relating to my literacy, Welty’s lexis nonetheless conveys my own feelings after learning the significance of hard work. I’ve put excess effort in performing the roles of a student, an athlete, and a Christian. Success and growth in each component of
Personal Narrative- Random Story About my Life One of them was that I was on my journey with someone. I was on the journey with my boyfriend Dusty whom I have been with for four years. I am more like myself when I am with someone, especially Dusty, than when I am by myself. I do think that spending time with just yourself is a waste of time. You should just be out talking to people because who knows when that dreaded day of death will come. I think that you should just seize the moment and spend
how it fills the room. It’s wonderful powers take over. Some you can’t bear to overcome. Powers that strengthens you. It can play you like a violin, as you sing it’s sweet tune. Before I discovered it, I was nothing. I had no friends, no joy, no life. I was weak and tone deaf. But it opened my ears and it helped me become something beyond myself. Something beautifully uncontrollable. Over the years it has become a part of me. A part I can’t live without. A part of me that I’m lost without. I
Never Take Life For Granted It is easy to assume that you are supposed to live for a long time. However, a long life is not guaranteed to anyone. As you grow up, you wake up every morning is if you are supposed to, not realizing that the previous day could have been your last. If a long life is what we strive for we should always be aware, avoid putting ourselves in dangerous situations, and attempt to make the most out of every day. Some people don't understand how great having breath in
Throughout my life I have had to face many challenges. Everything from my parents divorcing when I was young to losing just too many family members. Many people have had to face adverse situations, and many people chose to let those situations rule their lives and take control. For me however, I choose to take every situation I am faced with and turn it into something that will help me grow and give me strength, knowledge, and passion. The most adverse situation I’ve had to face in my life though would
I have dreams. I dream to be the best I can possibly be and to be satisfied with what I’ve done in this thing called life. When I have something I want to do quite seriously, I strive to be my utmost best and push away everything that tries to hinder me. And that's true for when it comes to school, home, or all of the above and even more. I try to do everything with combined intellectual, lucidity, and passion. For example, when I first start soccer, I wanted to be the best at it and
Music has always had an impact on my life, so much so that I cannot imagine life without it. Occasionally I wonder what it would be like if there were to be a soundtrack playing in the background of it all. . I have had many life events in my life, and most of these, if not all relate to the songs. Without realizing it these life events are probably the reason that these are my favorite songs. The three most important events are the death of my grandfather, the cancer diagnosis of my aunt, and lastly
a person's mood, create memories, and even inspire or change somebody. I believe this because of how music has changed my life and helped create me into a happier, more social person. When I Was younger I was very shy and socially awkward, I could never connect with other people and although I wasn't depressed I also wasn't happy. This all changed when music came into my life and I found music that connected with me and helped me face my problems, or music that was fun and just made me forget about
know is that I witness one of the most beautiful moments in my life. I feel the sun touching my closed eyelids, while the salty air is running through my fingers. What I observe through my now narrowed eyes is divine: all the shades of blue create a unique mixture of perfection and bless my day as each wave overlaps one another. A seagull flies over the sea and cheers us up as if it knew it was our last day in paradise. Often in life, we learn the most about ourselves unexpectedly. Let me introduce
What does it mean to live a meaningful life? There is no ‘wrong answer’ to this question, because everyone experiences life differently. For me personally, I believe a life well- lived is one that happens through your own pursuit of happiness. I don’t think a good life is about your net worth or how nice your car is when you die; it’s the journey you took to your own end. It's how you’ve grown in your lifetime and the struggles that have shaped who you are. “[It is a] provisional existence of [an]
Write a Personal Narrative Essay There is very little mystery to writing the personal narrative essay. There is no proper topic for such an essay. An essay can be about a variety of personal experiences. You, the writer, have the right to say what you want about your personal experience. You can write about anything -- Aunt Sally, the funky necklace you bought at a garage sale, the harrowing experience of being stuck in an elevator, the best Christmas you ever had, the worst day of your life. No
Personal Narrative- My Laptop Writing technologies have been shaping the way people live since the beginning of time. In the Stone Age, our ancestors used tablets to organize important thoughts, keep track of daily activities, and pass on their knowledge to future generations. Arguably, their method of writing was inefficient as much effort was being put into carving and preserving the tablet, while the end result contained little information relative to its size. As technologies evolve, we
Personal Narrative- God's Power and Beauty This past summer I was on a mission trip to Mexico with my youth group. This event changed my life in at least two astronomical ways. The first being, how I perceive God’s power and his creation. The second is how I look at daily struggles. Both of these areas in my life were changed to be more inline with how God views them. Both areas before the mission were in a state of complacency. Before I went to Mexico, God’s awesome power was known
Personal Narrative- My Dream I picture myself center stage in the most enormous and fantastically beautiful theater in the world. Its walls and ceilings are covered in impeccable Victorian paintings of angels in the sky. A single ray of light shines down upon my face, shining through the still, silent darkness, and all attention is on me and me alone. The theater is a packed house; however, my audience is not that of human beings, but rather the angels from the paintings on the walls come alive
Personal Narrative- Not So Important Exam I’ve heard that the early bird catches the worm, and sadly enough, I’ve never been the early bird. Being on time has never been my strong spot, although I try. Even if the occasion calls for excessive speeding or car weaving, I would do it in a second if I knew I were going to be late. And for this, it could have cost not only my life, but the life of my sister. One particular morning I was scheduled to take a rather difficult, yet important exam and
