Personal Narrative: Positive Outcome For The Greater Good

Superior Essays
Everyday, people go through events in their lives that shape and mold them to the individuals that they are. In most cases, those events are negative and in others positive. Regarding the situation that you find yourself in, the process can be for the greater good. In my case, my outcome was positive and beneficial. The outcome was for the greater good because in the end I became a more positive person, I eventually became comfortable with who I am, and beneficial because I figured out that I can accomplish anything and everything I desire in life.

Those doors that were adverse to me only happened to be the people who brought me down and made me feel derived from everything. In other words, it was the part of my family that did not support or help me through my times of despair. With them, I once again feel out of place. Not just out of place, but replaced. Since I was no longer my father 's only child, everyone just stopped talking to me. Before then, I was ecstatic to have a baby brother, but only to find out that I was to be replaced by him. They do not support me, which became obvious through their behaviors over the last nine years. No matter what, I could only see the good in the situation and I continued to contact them. Even to this day, I try but do not succeed. Keeping myself from negativity, allowed me to let others to see who I am. Letting me smile and laugh a little more each day.

Everyday was matched with difficulties and struggles. Still today, I have obstacles that I just can not quite get over, but in time I will. Just like any other person, there were parts of my life that were unexplainable to why they happened. But I look at those misfortunes as a lesson and grow from them. It is safe to say that I was not only out of place when it came to school but also when it came to who I was. Through those hardships, came positivity, confidence, friendships, love, and most of all self awareness. Life in general has its ups and downs, but in the end you are strong and wise enough to come out on top. Everything I have went through has resulted in myself becoming a fun-loving, down to earth, assured young adult with a good heart and a even better

    Every Life Matters I really only started understanding the meaning of abortion once one of my mom’s friends had one. Before that I had very little knowledge about abortion. My parents have always taught me to stand by what I believe and that others may have different beliefs. They always told me that I would meet people that would disagree with me and what I believe not only when it came to these kind of topics but many other things as well. Being told that, they told me to always respect people’s beliefs and their points of view because everyone has the right to stand by what they believe, just like I do.…

    You might imagine the challenges I encountered as a child due to these circumstances. What you’re imagining is probably accurate. I’ll spare the details because that is not the defining part of my story. This is the defining part of my story: I did not allow myself to become a victim of the circumstance I was born into. The struggles of growing up in poverty and dysfunction and growing up with an alcoholic mother—these things didn’t tear me down or cause me defeat.…

    In all my years of growing up, I was raised to be a strong, mature adult with enough perseverance to go around the world. In all complete honesty, that is how everyone in this world should be raised; having the strength to push through the absolute limits without passing the thought of giving up or throwing it all away due to weakness in the mind. Giving up is something that should rarely visit the human brain unless it is completely necessary; it should always be a last resort. From a personal experience of rejection and pushing through excruciating pain along with all the limits it had to offer, I was able to learn that one small mistake should never be falsely accused as a final failure. Along with this, I was also able to identify my true self and who I really am…
