Personal Narrative: A Perfect Life

Improved Essays
Don’t we all want a perfect life? Drive the fastest cars, own the latest fashions, having the newest of the new. That is what we all do. We try our hardest to be better or just like everyone else in life. But in reality are our lives really better? I won’t be too quick to admit it but I am the same way. If I were to have to decide between being optimistic or pessimistic on how my life will turn out I am not too entirely sure what I would say. You never know what will happen till it happens. There are a millions possibilities. I could end up a bum in the cold streets of New York worrying about being beaten. I could end up a successful lawyer (as I plan to be) living the American dream with 2 kids and a house in a high class neighborhood. I

    It is UWC that witnesses my transition: not only have I come to appreciate the diverse world, but I have also honed a more sophisticated self-cognition. Numerous late night discussions such as China-Tibet conflict gradually equipped me with cosmopolitan lens and faded my national identity. Moreover, UWC shaped me into an idealist and pragmatist. The utopian mission ignites my aspiration to pursue a peaceful and sustainable future for human beings.…

    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.…

    My experiences over the last six years living in NYC have shaped me into the approachable and compassionate person I am today. I have been immersed in a melting pot with many different culturally and economically diverse populations. These unique experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to gain valuable communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I searched out opportunities to give back and help the people in my community both in volunteering in hospitals, educating high school students, and interning in private practices. I even traveled with the organization Medlife, setting up a medical clinic to provide basic medical care and education to people in the poor and underserved communities surrounding Lima, Peru.…

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today.

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.…

    The idea of perfection is within itself, not perfect. People have their own idea of perfection that is impossible to occur. Take media for example; the media has distorted our minds into thinking we have to look, dress, and act a certain way to be perfect. If not, those people are looked down upon for not doing so. I, myself, am a victim of feeling the need to be perfect, and I remember feeling contrite about myself when I didn’t look, have, or act the way media wanted me to.…

    Racing faster than a horse, my heart was about to escape my chest. As my mind was trying to process what I had viewed through my clouded vision, I had a sudden realization; everything I had believed up until then, was a lie. The world I viewed was completely changed while I looked through the glasses of reality. That was the first time I had seen war up so close. What had been a peaceful town near the outskirts of a much larger city, was now caught in the middle of countries settling a quarrel.…

    Have you ever stopped for a second to analyze your life? Many times when someone struggles, it is because of their outlook. Being negative about the obstacles that are faced in life is no way to get by. Taking a second to analyze, and possibly regroup, is never something that anyone should be ashamed of. I believe that with a positive outlook on life a person can do whatever they put their mind to.…
