On December 31, 2013, my whole world did a complete 180-degree turn. I received the most devastating news in my life. My father and little brother passed away in a car accident, and I did not know how I was going to continue with my life because everything seemed to have come crashing down. This situation was so significant to me because I had never experienced the death of a family member, and I was experiencing it for two family members at the same exact time. It was a very difficult time for all of my family, but I knew I had to be strong for everyone. I took on much more challenging responsibilities in order to help around my house since it was never going to be the same again around my house. Financial difficulties started to affect my

    Personal Narrative: Death Of My Mother

    Losing someone so close to you can internally and externally break you. One day you could be having a normal conversation with that one person talking about something exciting that happened in your day and the next day, they are gone.

I was the one that had found her and I was the one that called the ambulance.…

    Personal Narrative: Death Of My Father

    I remember seeing the reflection of my room through the giant mirror on our hallway wall. My mother was in the bathroom, she was preparing for a night out - she had on the best pair of black leather ankle boots -- yet I nagged her to talk about my dad. I was seven years old when my mom told me the story about death of my father; although, I’ve never gotten the full details until I was sixteen years old. Before that age, I usually created my own scenarios and scenes on how the tragedy happened. After those moments I’d often find myself very unhappy, I would focus my thoughts on a person I care dearly for but know nothing about.…
