Personal Narrative: Breaking Up With Me

Improved Essays
I love him so much that if he ever decides to break-up with me, God forbid, I would fall apart and break into two. I don’t know how I could manage without having him in my life. I need him to always be by my side no matter what, I don’t care about the situation we’re in right now. You see, last Sunday he called me and asked if he could take a break from the relationship. Me being the best girlfriend in the world possible, I responded with “of course baby, anything for you, just as long as it means we’re going to still be together when the break’s over”. I’m sad because we haven’t talked to each other ever since. I miss him so much, he hasn’t been picking up calls or reading my texts. Whenever I pass by him in the halls now, he doesn’t do anything …show more content…
Both of my parents are unemployed. They were laid off from their jobs for being too old for the workplace expectations. That was three years ago. Our saved funds from the employment insurance are almost ending. We live in a really crummy apartment. My parents are constantly struggling just to pay the rent while taking care of my two younger brothers. We’re actually from Iraq and immigrated to Canada around the time I was born. We obviously can’t come back because of the ongoing conflict that’s happening right now. I hate this so much. I wish we could back to the time when both of my parents were at least a bit financially stable. I understand what they’re going through but it’s annoying when they keep reminding me to get high 90s and go into the medical field in some university. They shame me for getting anything below. Well, mom and dad, I love you both but there’s a reason why I’m not always getting a high 90. Imagine walking in the halls and being looked at by everyone that passes by you. Imagine being in the cafeteria and having absolutely no one to eat lunch with. Imagine being in class and hearing a group of people behind you mutter disrespectful words about you that are intentionally meant to audible for you to hear everyday. It’s prison for me but I’m sure being in prison would treat me way better. These things have been happening to me ever since my parents had to stop supporting me with new …show more content…
I’m one of the most popular people there. Guys always crowd around me and try to start up a conversation because I’m one of the fortunate ones that happen to be attractive. Like, honestly, can I go walk around school in peace for once? It’s also a chore to go on social media everyday too because they always try to message me, asking about personal details. Like, I’m not dumb, I know they just want to sleep with me. You know, I hate how everyone makes assumptions about who I am. It’s so annoying. I want people to treat me as I really am. The problem is that I feel like I don’t express myself that much. Well, no, the actual problem is that I can’t express myself at all. At school, people claim that they don’t have “zero tolerance” for bullying. They even host annual assemblies to support this. Pfft, there are also anti-bullying and empowerment clubs running to proudly show how welcoming they are towards everyone at school. You see, they create these communities and this sense of environment for people to feel like they all belong in this school. I don’t support this perpetuated lie. They really don’t welcome who I truly am, they hate people who are like me. I have never been myself in high-school, the only time I’ve ever felt that I truly belonged is when I’m with my friends that I met online. I also can’t forget about you. You guys remind me that it’s okay to be me but thing is that I’m afraid that I’ll lose my reputation. I

    Maybe it was supposed to be like a promise that one day I would return to him. I couldn’t expect him to wait for me, though. In fact, I was happier pretending that he would immediately forget about me. That meant I wouldn’t have made a huge impact on his life, which, in turn, showed he wouldn’t be hurt. I wondered if any of my friends knew what was happening.…

    “Throwing Down The Gauntlet On My Life” I’m a junior at Presbyterian Pan American School. I was born in Brownsville, Texas, but since my parents are Mexican nationals, I grew up in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, Mexico. In 2013, my parents told me to “pack your bags” you are going to Kingsville, Texas. I came to Texas three years ago to attend Presbyterian Pan American School (PPAS), a senior private boarding school in Kingsville, Texas, on an academic scholarship. Talking about different aspects of my life is daunting, but it also allows me to come to terms with my growth as an individual by learning from my failures, confronting obstacles such as adapting to new surroundings, and a different educational system, speaking English properly, and adjusting to a real world working environment.…

    Throughout the majority of my life, I was self-conscious and constantly worried about how I was perceived by others. As a child, I had always felt slightly out of place among my peers. I was just a little too quirky to fit into any of the groups at my school and I was too shy to force my way into one. I could not exactly understand what made me so different from my classmates and I desired more than anything to gain the self-confidence to express myself.…

    Growing up with many obstacles have been difficult for me as it has been for my parents. Both my parents have immigrated to the U.S. at early ages to pick crops. Both of them, ironically, come from big families. Growing up, it has been difficult learning English as a second language because my parents were only Mixteco and Spanish speakers. As I got older I taught myself and tried extremely hard in school not to be a burden to my parents who were always worrying.…
