Personal Narrative: The Person I Am Today

Many people has gone through dramatic experiences in life that made them the person they are now. Have you ever thought about an event that happened to you and made you the person you are now? I believe i have so many times and i even question myself about why those horrible experiences happpened to me. The most significant even from my past that helped shape who i am today is when i was homeless for about a year in a half. The event that shaped me as a person in today was when i was homeless for about a year in a half. Throughtout the time i was homeless, i experience a lot of horrible experiences but those events destroyed me so many times as i was starting to let myself go and stopped believing there was any hope of getting out of it. At first i really thought there was no way out for me because bad events were continuesly were happening to me so i started to believe there was no hope left in me so i got used to it or i said to myself "whats next, I'm not surprised." After a while, I thought i had 2 people i was able to count on but they let me down so many times. I thought they were actually my friends who consider helping me in my time of being homeless. Those two certain people really destroyed me even more in my time of being helpless. When everything happened all at once, i stuck to those two people because what else can go wrong.

This one night i felt completely useless that i ended up overdosing on drugs. I felt like that was the only choice i was having because i wasn't able to continue trying to help myself. As hours passed, i felt like i was "whole" again but i was terribly wrong. As i was noticing that nothing was happening because my drugs use was really high that nothing happened. I went to an outpatient group since i had to do some meetings because it was mandatory for court. I went to that same meeting that same day i overdosed and i finally was able to ask for help. When i finally spoke up in needing help, that place had turned me down so i felt even worse about asking for help. When i was able to try again, my probation officer helped and got me into a good place. I ended up going to rehab and that place has helped me so much to the person i am today. I believe rehab shaped me in the person i am today because I'm able to cope with things better and they also helped me but not letting me go
