Personal Narrative Essay: Girl Scout Cookies

Improved Essays
I can’t stand people, they are always coming to my door trying to sell me things, the only thing I will ever buy from someone that comes to my door is Girl Scout Cookies, that's about it. They are always chucking things into my backyard, bothering my four cats, playing loud obnoxious music, and laughing. Oh my goodness I can’t stand the laughing, all the high pitched giggling makes me sick. No wonder I’m a hermit. I love being alone in my house with only the company of my four cats Bobby, Frisco, Curls, and the runt, Runny. I only go out for food, and to do my job.

My job does not require much interacting. The reason I act like this is because my life has been full of failed relationships with people. My mom ran away from me when I was a baby, along with my two older siblings, my brother Jack and my sister Martha. My dad had given me to his parents one day like I was a lost puppy, he never returned for me. He couldn't handle raising me without …show more content…
I was pretty much always trying to find the good in things. When my mom left me I would always tell myself that she left because she wanted to get away from my dad even though I knew it was because of me. To this day I still do not know what was wrong with me, and why my family did not want me. I have a feeling they liked their happy family before I came along. So, overall my life never really found the sunshine, until I graduated from college and got my first cat. Then my life got happier. My adopted parents still keep in touch, but not like real parents would. I don’t spend holidays with them, or anyone, they only call me every like three months. I’m fine with it though, I don’t need anyone in my life. All I need is money, netflix, food, and cats, oh and my cute little workout room in my

    I removed the golden key harnessed by a Penn State lanyard from my pocket, and placed it into the keyhole of room 715. A room that would be my home for the next year and a university that would be there for me for the next four. A mere 10 hours before that moment I was at home, getting ready to leave my house for my final day as a camp counselor and for the final day in Willow Grove Day camp’s sixty-two year history. I threw on my staff shirt and mesh shorts, grabbed a quick chocolate chip granola bar for the road, lathered up my SPF 30 lotion, compiled my backpack and waited for my ride. The drive to camp was an emotional one for me.…
