Personal Narrative: The Story Of My Life

Improved Essays
Your life is the story of your existence. Each story is different, but they all contain the same variables. These include birth, growth, change, and death. Anything else is based on both your decisions and the decisions of the people around you. My life follows the same rule, although, I am typing out my story for you to read while your life will remain to be much of a mystery.

Like most, my life starts with birth which, for me, occurred on December 5th, 2001 in the small town of Florence, SC. I was born into a family that had barely begun. My mom was 20 and my Dad was 24. Neither of them had planned on having a baby, and they definitely did not plan on having another so I was an only child for 8 years until they had my sister, Sydney.

He has only been my friend for a short while, but I think we’ve grown pretty close. Niles is kind of like the brother that I never got to have, although he sometimes crosses the line without meaning to. However, if I am being honest, he’s not my best friend.

My best friend would have to be Paige, which most people wouldn’t agree with and would say that we can not be friends because we are related, but I do not think that is true. She has been with me through thick and thin, and not just because we’re family. Paige is the only person that I feel comfortable telling anything to, and vice versa. If I had a disaster, and could only save one thing, I would save her.

Despite what it may seem, I do not believe anything written above makes me unique. Instead, I think my thoughts and beliefs throughout all my experiences are what separates me from the rest. I think this because I was not the only the only who stayed up late at night, listening to my parents fight, or the only one who camped out in my little tree house when the wind felt just right. But I am the only one whose views changed, and I am the only one who was not afraid to stand up against the traditions of my family. And I think that has made all the

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today. I've had naysayers trying to negatively influence my thoughts, and crush my dreams by saying that said I will never amount to anything, or that I should give up on my dreams and get realistic with my goals. A couple years ago I was a completely different person. I was out of shape physically, my academic performance was very poor, and I had a terrible attitude. I improved greatly in athletics and my academic career.…

    Nine times out of ten we disagree and argue, but we manage to always compromise and move on. We’re both stubborn, however in different ways and when they clash it’s always an epiphany if anything gets resolved. There has never been a time where there has never been a problem solved between us. Every problem we have ends up being blown over the shoulder and just water under the bridge. That is the best part about our friendship; we never hold grudges against each other.…

    I believe that my personal background, and my success despite the adversity that I have faced is an essential part of who I am.

    My key life lessons are that nothing beats hard work and if you treat others with respect, they will generally treat you with respect. Hard work and effort are the main aspects that lead to “lucky” things happening. Good things don’t just fall into people’s laps, the ones that have the most “luck” generally are those that put in the most effort and work. Also, I have learned that when you truly respect those around, they will respect you back and life is much easier when you aren’t doing things behind each other’s backs.…

    My Birth Story Birth stories have a lasting impact on expectant mothers. Recognizing the influence of birth stories is a key component of informal communication of knowledge about childbirth for expectant mothers. The goals of the birth story interview and discussion are to provide an opportunity to explore the sharing of a birth story as a critical way of knowing within the family and community, and also to promote understanding of the prenatal period and taking-on of the parental role. The topic of storytelling is important to nurses and families, as it allows the integration of the nurses’ experiences into their future nursing practice, which may be invaluable in facilitating authentic and meaningful connections with their patients.…

    Shaping My Life I made myself into the person that I am today. I’m kind, caring and a person, which led me to change the way that I think and the atmosphere around me. I’ve always been caring and kind to others, and I’ve always thought about wanting to help people for the rest of my life. I changed that way that I think in several different ways, including changing how shy that I was and how I wasn’t looking people in the eyes when I talked to them. I also changed the way that the atmosphere was around me, by working hard in my life, and figuring out who my real friends were.…
