Personal Narrative: A Stranger's Home

Improved Essays
As I wake up in this stranger’s home with tears coming down my face I asked myself would I ever see my parents again. It all started when I was in second grade. One day I was messing around and I got in trouble with my dad, and I could tell that he furious his whole face was red and I swear I could see the smoke come out of his ears, so I ran away from him, but he trapped me in the corner and he took off his belt and he started beating me while I laid on the floor I can feel the sting of the belt all through my body, I tried covering the hits with my arms but the pain was too painful most of the blows landed on my leg and after the beating was over he told me to go to my room. I had to limp all the way to my bed with tears running thru my face. …show more content…
As I was sitting behind this police car I was wondering what was happening and then I was noticing that we were heading to my sister middle school. One of the officers got out and when he came back, he brought my sister out with him. Then after we got to the police station and they brought me and my sister thru the back with all the criminals and all these guys looked like these giant monsters covered in tattoos, handcuffed to the bench and we had to sit right next to them like if we were criminals too. After waiting in the bench for a while these two investigator came two me and my sister and they split us apart. We each went to different rooms and they started to interrogate me. They asked me questions like, “how many times has my dad abused me?”, “has he ever abused my sister?’, “has he ever abused my mom?”. Then after all of the question me and my sister where reunited and we were hungry but these dumb cops didn’t know what to do with a couple of kids so they fed us chips and candy from the vending machine. Then after hours of being in the police station they transferred us to the child service office. They put us in this giant play room, and since me and my sister really didn’t eat the whole day they ordered us a pizza and put on some movies. We spent hours in this place then about 12 at night this lady came to the office and the social worker said that we were to go live with this lady. Me and my sister were scared we have never met this lady in our lives, and now we had to go live with this stranger. So we got in her van and we drove for what felt like hours (my sister says that we were in Pasadena). Then when we got to her house she showed us to our rooms and told us that we’ll go shopping in the morning for new

    The crisp breeze rustled my hair as I walked out of my house on the fall September day with my dad drilling instructions into my head. It was my first Little League baseball game ever, and my dad wanted to make sure it wasn’t my last. Being seven years old and never touching a baseball was something that had scared me; a lot. I had no idea what to think about this foreign, petrifying, game could possibly be about. The car ride from my house was only a few minutes away from the fields where I would begin my baseball career.…

    I was 13 years old, just starting off high school, when I realized what this dark cloud that’s been floating over me for the past couple of months really is. It wouldn’t be until more than a year later until I seek out professional help. It started off innocently enough as just a feeling of constant emptiness at the pit of my stomach. It slowly turned into randoms bouts of extreme rage, where I’d take out my anger physically, not just on the walls and mirrors of my childhood home and not just on my family, but on myself. I couldn’t understand why I felt this way, why I wasn’t “normal”.…

    Throughout my life, I have been the victim of several burglaries. At the age of seven, someone, in broad daylight, broke into our house and shot my dad in the chin. I was displaced to my aunt's house for weeks and missed most of my 1st grade year. When I was seventeen, I walked in on my home being robbed by some local kids. They were upstairs when I came into the house and escaped through a window, but the idea that I could have come home earlier still haunts me.…

We were both growing older, but for some reason she was ageing faster. Lupe helped my mom and dad raise me when I needed someone to care for me while they were at work trying to make enough to support four growing girls.…

    I am confident that almost all of us have had to go through a deceased relatives belongings at one time or another. You know what I’m talking about- after “Uncle Edward” dies an e-mail, phone call, or letter arrives with an itemized list of his belongings and you have been invited to choose what you want among the other relative's or close friends. To be honest, I find the experience awkward and strange. My belief is that even in families with stable dynamics, this scenario has the potential to stir up emotions, and no matter how well family members get along, there will be a level of envy and bitterness that cousin Ted, brother Tom, or sister Carol walked off with the antique armoire while leaving the tin can of nuts and bolts, a hack saw with a dull blade, or a favorite rock that Uncle Ed found on a hike years ago, for the rest of the family.…

    Rory came to our store and asked for me to join him in the office to discuss more, which I did. At the beginning of the conversation I again said that I was not in no way, giving a demand but I was asking for the transfer. We began our conversation again around where is all the areas that I've already covered, and where exactly is home. This began to make me defensive because I know how to lead people into conversations to get certain results I'm looking for. It's called "open ended questions".…
