Personal Narrative: Childhood Traumas

Decent Essays
We all are afraid of something. Weather its losing a loved one or scary clowns. I am afraid of many things most of my fears come from childhood traumas and movies. I am really afraid of bats because of a bad experience at the mall. Bats also fly around my house at night when it’s really quiet and I can hear them fly around my house and make a really weird squeak and it scares me because of that bad experience at the mall.
What happened was my mom and I were looking outside of a window and we were trying to figure out what was flying around the window and sure enough it was a bat and it fell right our table and I got so frightened that I was still as a statue after being traumatized.
They just have a creepy looking shape like if it was meant

    rated from México with the idea of having a better future, but faced a lot of problems and stressors due to their status. It was easy for my parents to hear stories from other people that the U.S. was a place for change and a better future, but did not know all the challenges and stressors they had to experience to make their dreams come true. The stressor was a random stressor event because my parents were not well informed about immigrating to the U.S and they had the idea that it would be for a better future. The stressor event was intense since the beginning my parents immigrated to the U.S to have a better future, but as soon as the got here it was different and they struggled in many negative ways. The stressor was intense from the beginning…

    I was ten years ago and I can still vividly remember sitting on an old, wooden rocking chair while the words of The Very Hungry Caterpillar trembled off my lips to a room full of second graders. I can recall the eagerness and excitement that filled their little faces as I flipped from page to page. There was an abundance of curiosity and desire to learn in that classroom that made me happy that I decided on skipping recess to read to the younger students. There was a fire that lit in my ten-year-old body that day. That was the day where I finally had an answer to all the “What do you want to be when you grow up?”…

    I was nine when I discovered my brother had paranoid schizophrenia. After overhearing a commotion coming from downstairs, I quietly peered into my family room. There my brother laid, red faced, hyperventilating, and yelling for the things filling his mind to stop. I witnessed the confusion upon my mother’s face, wondering why her twenty year old son would not stop screaming. This initial memory of my brother’s condition would be the beginning of an eight year crusade to combat his illness.…

    I have been asked to write about the type of environment I was raised in and the only one that seems to call for attention in my head is the environment of domestic abuse. Statistics say that nearly 31% of women report being abused by their boyfriend or husband. Sadly, my mother has been a part of that statistic for a extremely long time, affecting my life tremendously. Going through it, I became a pretty negative person. I rarely enjoyed any nice times in my life because I knew, that just like the violence at home, good times would soon be followed by some rough times.…

    It was a Saturday morning March 17, 1996 I was eight months in my mother’s tummy and my due date was in mid April.

    I documented the children and assessed them after I demonstrated the project first. I stood back and watched the children not talking to them and listened.

    Growing up in an unsupportive environment was not the best environment for a child. Always being told no for things and ignored when ecstatic to share news with my mother. Being told things that my still developing brain would interrupted negatively, led me to believe in many things. Feeling as if I were being neglected by one whose attention I itched for the most led me to believe as if I wasn't that important. Feeling as if I were unloved and uncared for, I started my journey of drugs and alcohol.…

    From the young age of four I was repeatedly molested by a member of my extended family. This abuse continued until I was eight years old because I was too young at first to realize that what he was doing was not right. When I did become old enough to know what was happening I would try to fight him off, but to no avail. I feared that telling someone in my family would end up with somebody getting hurt, and I did not want that. The abuse ended for good as soon as I started to avoid him.…

    The one thing I remember vividly from my childhood are the holes. During what was supposed to be a safe and restful naptime I dug into the wall with my tiny bare index finger. Over some unknown time period, those mysterious diggings developed into a fair likeness of the solar system. The trauma that any individual deals with, whether it is during childhood or adulthood, can turn out to be life-altering, specifically, when it hides far inside of the subconscious mind for many years. How does anyone climb out of that hole?…

    My early childhood holds some of my absolute favorite memories. I can remember so many good times with my friends and family but every time wasn’t perfect.

Authoritative parents are firm, setting clear and consistent limits.…
