Personal Narrative: The True Meaning Of Life

Improved Essays

I'd do all these crazy things, not caring what people said or thought of me. I'm not going to lie, I felt great I just wish I had stopped earlier

And of course I sat at home with my friends planning out our next big dumb stunt and we would draw ourselves in the future walking a tightrope over a pool with a shark swimming around in it.

We would go around telling anyone and everyone that would listen to come down and watch us do our next ‘dangerous stunt’, Rachel and I dreamed to one day be featured on tv, our favorite Jimmy Kimmel. Every father's day we would hang around the TV waiting to see what Jimmy Kimmel would challenge us to do this year. This was just the beginning of what then lasted for A crazy 2 years, before we had found a new interest.

This time it was winter sports, anything to do with winter and craziness. We were glued to the 2014 winter olympics. We were obsessed by the idea of one day participating in the winter olympics whether it would be

I couldn't go, I no longer had skis, I was forced to sit with my brother at the top of a mountain with blood gushing out the side of my head. He soon left to go get help which resulted with me all my own, being alone was probably the best thing that could have happened to me the whole year and it lasted until I caught sight of the bright neon yellow jacket making its way up to me, It was the medic.

    Every Life Matters I really only started understanding the meaning of abortion once one of my mom’s friends had one. Before that I had very little knowledge about abortion. My parents have always taught me to stand by what I believe and that others may have different beliefs. They always told me that I would meet people that would disagree with me and what I believe not only when it came to these kind of topics but many other things as well. Being told that, they told me to always respect people’s beliefs and their points of view because everyone has the right to stand by what they believe, just like I do.…

    My experiences over the last six years living in NYC have shaped me into the approachable and compassionate person I am today. I have been immersed in a melting pot with many different culturally and economically diverse populations. These unique experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to gain valuable communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I searched out opportunities to give back and help the people in my community both in volunteering in hospitals, educating high school students, and interning in private practices. I even traveled with the organization Medlife, setting up a medical clinic to provide basic medical care and education to people in the poor and underserved communities surrounding Lima, Peru.…

    Whenever I would compete in any type competition, my mom would always say, “It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, you are here and that’s all that matters.” My snowboarding career began when my parents purchased a house in Killington, Vermont, a mere decade before I was born. After I turned two years old, my parents would travel to their elegant cottage in Vermont every two weeks in the winter with me.

Although my family has since moved on from racing, it had been everything for as long as I can remember.
