Introduction:
This is a time when everything in my life changed so drastically that sometimes it feels like I 'm in some else’s body, living someone else life. The crisis that is my life, how life can go from fine to what just happened, in a matter of 2 hours. A time where I have experienced a personal crisis and conflict was just before my parents were getting divorced. It was a regular day in May - May 25, 2013 at 7:37 pm - my father has just come back from a long personal trip to my hometown.

At first fear when the fight first started my stomach was clenched and rolling, it felt as if something was pushing at it. When I witnessed my mom pulled down against the floor my hands started to shake, and sweat, as I was worried that my mom was going to be seriously injured. The thought of my mother injured made me feel so worried that tears were welled up in my eyes and my heart started to beat extremely hard it felt as if it were to escape out of the my barricade chest. When we arrived at the police station I had the feeling of numbness going through my body I didn’t know what to think or feel about the situation that I was now in. Although in a situation similar to this it is generally understandable to have body sensations while being in the middle of a conflict where two individuals that you formed a relationship with you would be in an unsafe or unpredictable …show more content…
Keeping calm was the most difficult strength that I had because when it came to my brother and sister that were with me and having to keep reassuring them that everything was fine. It was a struggle to have them believe that everything was going to be okay and nothing bad was going to happen, even though I didn’t believe that at the time. The limitations that I faced during this situation was my age and my fear, when it came to the actual crisis because when the conflict I was not even 16 years old at the time and I couldn’t comprehend the fact that this was happening. The fear that was going through me, I didn’t have the mental ability to bring myself to interfere my pushing my father

    Personal Narrative: The Glass Castle By Jeannette Walls

    “Things always have a way of figuring themselves out.” That’s what my dad always would tell me when I was younger which, in a way, relates my life to Jeannette Walls’ in The Glass Castle.

My parents divorced when I was twelve years old, and just headed into 7th grade.…

    Personal Narrative: Throwing Down The Gauntlet On My Life

    “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.…

    Personal Narrative: The Pain

    The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…

    Personal Narrative: Overcoming My Struggles

    Overcoming my Struggles As a little boy, going to bed was the best part of the night. It is when your eyes are hanging low and you are doing everything you can to stay awake to hear a story that your mother reads to you before she tucks you in bed. Hearing and understanding words as a little boy was not that hard for me. I could comprehend words and say them, but as I started to go to school my parents knew something was not right. In my opinion, my struggles with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) continue to be a challenge with the struggles I had before I found out about my diagnoses, finding out about my Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) changing the way I did things, and continuing to overcome my challenges I have with Attention Deficit…

    Personal Narrative: The Fear Of Falling Apart

    “The fear of falling apart”, “Words are knives and often leave scars”, and “Don’t try to sleep through the end of the world and bury me alive. Cause’ I won’t give up without a fight” by Panic! At The Disco from their song This is Gospel is very important to me because it’s like saying no matter how hard you push and pull on me I won’t give up and that’s really encouraging to me. The way I can apply it to my life is I was bullied, cursed at, and yelled at all throughout middle school by other students and no matter how hard I wanted to give up and just crawl into bed and say “No, go away.”…

    Everyone has a point in their life when they realize they need to change. What finally brought me to the point when I needed change was when my grandmother Marjorie Higdon passed away.

    Personal Narrative: How My Mom Changed My Life

    Throughout my life I have gone through situations that changed me in both positive and negative ways. Growing up, my mother always tried so hard for us and that caused her to be gone often because of work. My step father was a drunk and very abusive toward her. My older sister had lots of problems, some of which included bipolar disorder, depression, and on some level, insanity. It was normal for a domestic dispute to erupt at least every day and every so often it would require police intervention.…

    After the emotional tear down he would cause with his words, he would begin to hit my mom as I listened down the hall.

    Personal Narrative: My Experience With Alcoholism

    I am the youngest son of my mother’s six children. My experience with alcoholism begins in that I being forty seven years old, grew up watching my mother and father drink every day from as far back as I can remember. Alcohol seemed to be a part of everything we did from a weekend picnic at the park, to going to see the grandparents, someone drinking and getting drunk was the norm for me since a very young age. By the time I was eight, drinking had drove a wedge between my parents and they were heading down an ice covered slope towards divorce court. My parents separated, and for many years my mother was always at a tavern.…

    Personal Narrative: My Way Of Dealing With Conflicts

    Conflicts are something we run into every day, and some are more troubling than others. I feel that your parents and family members play a huge role in how you deal with conflict. Your parents are the ones who teach you to walk, talk, and everything else we must learn to do in life. I feel that all of my habitual ways of dealing with conflict come from my family members. I learned that both my mother and father handle conflicts in different ways.…
