Personal Narrative Essay About Family: Asthma And Violence

Improved Essays
I remember as a child I would constantly hide in my room, inside a wooden chest while my parents were fighting down in the corridor. What about? I still have no logical idea. I believe it was something about how my father was never home and my mother was the only one who actually cared for me. Although it wasn’t a lie, I feel like my parents were hurting me with all this fighting. Why couldn’t we all get along? Whenever my parents fighting got rather physical and violent I would try to call the police but in the process of me doing so, my father would beat me down to the ground.

    After the fight that Jeannette’s mom and dad had. The mom got up with the kids and applied for a job at the Battle Mountain Intermediate School and was hired on the spot because she had a teaching degree. Her mother hated teaching because her own mother was a teacher and pushed her into getting a degree in that so she would have a job to fall back on if her plans on being an artist failed. She was so angry that her mother might’ve been right all along. The only thing that really unsettled me was when she was trying to Miss Beatty that she was capable of disciplining her students.…

    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 parents separated, and for many years my mother was always at a tavern.…

Many people would say I got the short end of the stick; however, I believe it has in some ways made me a better person.

It has taught me many life lessons, including the fact that a man does not have to be your father to be a dad.…
