Personal Narrative Essay: How I Want More Time In My Life

Improved Essays
As many people want more time in their lives, I want it a lot. I have always wanted more time to explore as much as possible. I could learn new things, and have fun with them. One morning, I woke up… as a toddler? “What the heck? What is this?” I suddenly started to realize that I had gotten what I wished for. I never wished to become a young child again, but I suppose this could be a new start. This also meant that I had to learn everything… ALL. OVER. AGAIN.

This new lifestyle that I have been adjusting to has been ok so far. I think in the future it will be hard, because I know how to do these things, but I cannot. Living through my life again is actually a good chance to restart. Since I pretty much already know the personality of most

This meant that my theory of the wish fast forwarding 7 years was true. Throughout the day, I was still shocked of the thought of being 7 years in the future, which was still crazy to me. I doggedly tried meeting and talking to new people, but I felt like I didn’t belong at all! I didn’t know anybody and everything was completely different. They had a lot of new technology and almost the everything we did in school was digital. As I got home from school, I knew that I needed to get my very first life back again. At the moment, I had no idea at all on how to do that. All I knew is that I wanted it back. Days after days, I would think on how to get my old life back. The school week was very weird with all of the so called “drama.” To be honest, I kind of laugh at all of the drama now compared to what it was when I went to this school. It actually was kind of hilarious to see the same problems occur and just laugh at them. I knew it was going to be a long shot to get my old life back, but I had to at least try.

I kept telling myself this was all my fault, and that I never should’ve messed with wishing for time. Maybe if I wasn’t so focused on my problems this would’ve never happened. I also maybe would’ve had a lot more time with them, because they aged while I didn’t. Now, I knew I needed to get my normal 13 year old life back so I can fix everything that I had caused wrong, and spent time with my family. I never wished to see my loved ones passed, but I suppose this must’ve been a consequence when you wish for more time in your life. Out of pure anger at this thought, I threw a doll across the room. Now I was determined to get my old life back. For the first step, I had to think of an exact wish so it wouldn’t cause any more problems than it already has. I need to be careful with my word choice, so it does not wish for something I do not want. With my finally brainstorming process, I was ready to make the final

    Angie Margai-Renner September 6th, 2015 Ms. Winn English 2 Angie’s Personal Narrative I’ve always considered myself as a cracked egg because once an egg is cracked it’s impossible for it to be pieced back together. I came out of my shell during the end of my 5th grade year towards my 6th grade year. First and foremost before we get that far this is how it all began.
