Description Of A Bridge In My Life

Decent Essays
I picked a picture of a bridge with a sunset for a picture that describes me. The reasoning for me to pick this picture is because a bridge is sometimes fast moving and sometimes it can be very slow. My life is like that, at times in my life things go very fast and work out and sometimes they just go slower. The sunset in the background also describes how calm my life is going throughout these times, even if my life is going fast or even if its going slow. If you think about it, you can be stuck on a bridge for hours, or sometimes you can only be stuck for minutes. During my life some stuff just takes forever and some stuff does not. Along the road you always stop in obstacles of your life, same with reality, going down the bridge you usually …show more content…
I wish I wasn 't stuck on that bridge in traffic but I am. Right now is a very slow time in my life. Summer went by fast and now I 'm stuck on that bridge for school. I am at that point in my life where I need to make a huge decision and decide where I am going to school after my two years at ECC. Right now I have one more semester after this semester I am in now. So next year I will be attending a different college. I am so stuck at this point. I don 't know what to do, I am just so confused on where I should go. There is so many options and its just such a hard decision. So currently I am stuck on that bridge in my life. So many different thoughts are going through my mind. I want to go away and start a new chapter of my life but then again I have a great life here in Buffalo. My family is all here and I am so close with them, and same with my friends, which is making my decision even harder. Going away though will lead me to so many new parts of my life which will be very good for me. I am moving very slowly on the bridge right now. It is taking me forever to decide but I am being very calm about it, just like the sunset behind the bridge in the picture.

I only have a couple months to decide where I want to continue my education and start a new chapter of my life. I know soon …show more content…
My parents got divorced when I was a kid, so you could say I was stuck on the bridge for a while. So much was just going on at that point in my life and I was just stuck in traffic for a while. I was kind of young but I remember most of it. Nothing was going to ever be the same and I didn 't really know how to live my life after that happened. I had to basically change everything. I didn 't know how to overcome the pain in my heart knowing that my parents were getting divorced. It took some time but after a while of dealing with it, I finally adapted to this change in my life and I just learned to understand that there is nothing I can do to change it back to what it was like before. All I had to do was get over that bridge traffic and just move on in

    “Things always have a way of figuring themselves out.” That’s what my dad always would tell me when I was younger which, in a way, relates my life to Jeannette Walls’ in The Glass Castle. He told me that whether or not things had problems over time or in a matter of seconds, they would always figure themselves out. I carry those words with me as a reminder that things for me were really hard at one point, but in the end they figured themselves out. My parents divorced when I was twelve years old, and just headed into 7th grade.…

    Like all children all I ever wanted was to be big and do big people things. I engaged in a few family members that I would look up to and try everything they did. I use to pretend to go grocery shopping and being a parent at times. At the age of eight, I had worn the worst pain ever and that was watching my five, year old brother getting hit by a car while trying to cross the street riding a bicycle that had a loose chain. I remember him trying to get up and get to me, but a few adults that had witnessed the accident had told him to lay down.…

    Becoming an adult is a momentous occasion in any young person’s life, but often it is marked by pain and hardships that push us as individuals to earn our autonomy and personal voice. There was an event in my life which pushed me to stand up to my parents and ultimately become an individual in their eyes. Life as a homeschooler was somewhat isolated until the end of my eighth-grade year. It was a damaging environment because of the constant interaction with my mother who was extremely critical and often lost her temper. The feeling that I could never please her overwhelmed me and even when I went to public school her manipulation of myself and others climaxed.…

    The Path to a Higher Education “Without education, you are not going anywhere in this world” (Malcolm X). In both Frederick Douglass’ article “Learning to Read” and in Malcolm X’s article “A Homemade Education” they discuss the challenges and obstacles that they had to overcome. Frederick Douglass was a man that was born in the horrors of slavery and later became a famous abolitionist speaker in the north.

    The Bridge did not avoid the classical linear narrative where strong causality linked the past with the present and future. The Bridge’s narrative was developed through a four-line structure (A: B: C: D). Each letter corresponded to a storyline. Each one of these lines function in parallel, but they did not necessarily have the same salience for the narrative or the same duration in each episode. For example, A was the most significant, B less, and so on.…
