Personal Narrative: The Best Of My Life

Improved Essays
First thing’s first, I’m not much for talking about myself, because it makes me feel a bit narcissistic. Growing up, I was raised with three older brothers, and my parents divorced when I was only four, but it doesn’t bother me, because it’s not like I actually remember them being together. My dad had a daughter when my parents met, and my mom had two sons, so I guess I forgot to mention that two out of three of my brothers are halves, as well as my sister, but she and I don’t speak. Growing up, my youngest years have been the best of my life, and when I say younger, I mean seven and down. Middle school was the worst for me, and I’m so happy to be out of that stage. High school hasn’t been much better than middle school, though, but I’ve learned how to deal with things, and not subject myself to drama; for the most part. My youngest years were the best, because I can actually remember how close my family was, and how close my brothers and I were. We all lived in Commiskey, until I turned nine. Every other weekend, and Wednesday nights I stayed with my dad, and I was always such a daddy’s girl, but only because I couldn 't see the false promises he always made me, and how bad of a drunk he was.

My freshman year actually spun off differently than I expected, because my mom and I were closer than ever, and Hannah Bowman was my absolute best friend. For the first half of the year, her and I were inseparable with the exception of a few mishaps. Hannah was the only person I could ever go to with anything, and face no judgement, and I really could depend on her. Hannah and I are still acquainted, but we aren 't as close. See, during my freshman year, she really got a new group of friends, and I was happy for her, but there wasn’t any time for me, and I understood

    Have you ever stopped caring so much that whatever happens, happens? I remember the time I had gotten in trouble by my mom because I had walked home from school. It was a gloomy day from it being so cloudy and cold. I was talked into walking home during school by friends whom, at the time didn't care about school as much as I did, cared nothing of school. I didn’t like it, but then again I started not to care either.…

    Moving here from North Carolina when I was four changed my life completely, I was away from my family who I lived with my whole life, thrown into a school with a bunch of kids who lived here since they were born and told to “make friends.” This changed the next 13 years of my life to something I can never picture not having. The first four years, both my parents had full time jobs and my grandma helped raise me a lot, she taught me so many manners and how to behave, she even ended up living across the street from me for 2 of those years, they were rough for my parents, new baby, just moving, having to find jobs, making friends, and getting food on the table for me. Thats where my amazing family came in, with bringing home cooked meals…

    I also had an older brother and later on I had a little sister, so there were plenty of us to go around. That meant that I had a lot of shoes to fill (literally considering I was wearing all their hand-me-down shoes). As I grew up, the family dynamic was always changing; some of us were little, some of us were older, some of us were graduating kindergarten, and some of us were graduating high school. In all the chaos of living we relied on each other for support in all manner of things. We grew up sharing ideas, playing games, and helping each other out.…

Not peculiar in a bad way, but in an interesting, provocative kind of way. I am the weird greenish-yellow crayon in the box that no one ever uses. I was born in Anchorage, Alaska.…
