Personal Narrative: A Place I Am Today

Decent Essays
We used to play chicken cross the road, I don’t know why we started playing it, it might have been the adrenaline we had once we seen a car and knew that we had to get to the other side fast enough or we would get hurt. When everyone was together we used to play backyard soccer where rough housing was only for the more mature kids. I was the fourth of six kids, During my childhood we would move from county to county due to my situation. Although we would move place to place I had my fair share of good and bad memories from each place that shaped me into the person i am today. If you want to talk to someone there’s always someone in my family who will be there for you. Everyone has everyone’s back when they’re in trouble. Being the fourth of

    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.…

    We went to the small town my mother grew up called Barranca Laureles in Jalisco, Mexico, there we stayed at my mother’s old home and spent time with all her family. As the very talkative and extroverted person that I am, I made friends fairly quickly specifically with my cousin and the daughter of a family friend/neighbor. They seemed like regular kids that I would be friends with but when I reminisce I realize how hardworking the were and are, they would help around the house and work outside with the animals with feeding and cleaning and do more work than most of us do, them also being my age. I also fondly remember how kind and giving my aunts were, even when they didn't have much they always offered me what they had and refused to take no for an answer. Them being this way not only further taught me to be grateful but to also be kind no matter you situation.…

    We would play basketball out on our driveway and play hide and seek with all of our neighborhood friends. Summer nights I remember staying out until it was dark playing hide and seek with family and friends. These are some of my most precious moments I have when I was a child, running around the neighborhood with my siblings and friends laughing and having a good time. One day my older brother and I were playing a basketball game with some friends and he threw a ball at my face and I ran inside crying.…

    Where You End and I Begin For much of my life, I have been tied down religiously by my family. From the moment my skin had been exposed to the world, I could pretty much assume my father had covered it to abide by the law of tzniut: modesty for women. At the age of eight was when my mother and I snuck buying me my first pair of pants, a secret we kept from my father. I remember we walked around town in West Hampton Beach (aka -the “Jewish” Hamptons) and there was the ‘end of summer sale’ in main street. I stroked my finger tips through all the velveteen overalls and corduroy pants, watching all the girls try on clothes and show them off their fathers and mothers who smiled approvingly.…

    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.…

    Nevada, Tennessee, New York or maybe even Wyoming, where can you honestly call home? This is not the place you went to school in or every town you moved to, but the place where you really grew up in, the place you call home. The place that really formed who you are, makes up your personality, the way you talk or even how you do things traditionally. Is that the country or city maybe even an orphanage? Worland, Wyoming, made me into the person I am today because of living in the country, the type of school I went to and the way my family raised me.…
