Personal Narrative Essay: The Day My Life

Improved Essays
It was a typical sunny day in California. The only problem was this day wasn't typical at all. I remember the day quite clearly. The day my parents told me that I had to move. The day my life changed.
“Lucy, me and your dad have to talk to you.” Those words spoken from my mother’s mouth lingers in my head ever since. It was the moment my life became the way it did. I remember the curiosity that filled me when I heard that question.
“What is it mom? What's the matter? Is there something wrong?” My mother looked into my eyes and said these taunting words:
“Honey, you need to pack your things. Your dad got a new job in Washington so we need to move there.” I looked at her full with doubt.
“Why do we have to move? I love California and our

I was nervous that I wouldn’t like this new school. The whole time when I was walking to school I thought of the worst scenarios that could happen to me. Panic started to arise when I saw my school getting closer and closer every step I take. As I went into the school I looked around and instantly felt like an outcast. I looked down at the piece of paper in my hand: schedules. I went to my first period and saw that everyone didn't notice I existed. As I walked in the classroom i came to the realization that i was wrong. A black haired girl with a jean jacket was staring right at me. As i stared back she quickly looked away as if she was …show more content…
Hold on, can you please help me find my class? I'm new here and i'm pretty sure you saw me in first period.” After i said that i started to see her walk into a faster pace. I didn't want to follow her or make her uncomfortable if she didn't want to help me. I started to walk slower and let her vanish. There was something weird about that girl so after I vanished from her sight, i started to follow her. She went into the room so I waited a minute then followed her inside. I went into the room to only see that she wasn't in there! Only a closet and a couple of cleaning supplies. After seeing this, I was filled with curiosity. I started to shuffle around the room to look for answers. As I opened the closet door it seemed completely normal until i heard a noise behind it. I then knocked on the wall and could hear that it was hollow. I slid the wall and saw there was another room behind it. It sort of looked like an inside of a

    Have you ever stopped caring so much that whatever happens, happens? I remember the time I had gotten in trouble by my mom because I had walked home from school. It was a gloomy day from it being so cloudy and cold. I was talked into walking home during school by friends whom, at the time didn't care about school as much as I did, cared nothing of school. I didn’t like it, but then again I started not to care either.…

    I remember when the world was a better place. I may only be eleven years old, but the latest breakthrough in technology, the one that doomed mankind, only happened three years ago. That's when Harvard University developed a fully-functional AI robot. It was only so long until they took over jobs, and unemployment became an issue for the human race. The thing is, everyone thinks that they can just find another job, and everything will be normal again.…

    My full name is hard to remember, or so I'm told. It's Mexican, which clearly defines my origin as Hispanic in plenty of surveys. But I believe to ask for my origin in terms of race is wrong, because my race is not what defines me. To know my true origin, you must understand my name. I am named after two women.…

    My excitement was like a like five year old on a sugar rush from eating too much Halloween candy. I had not played Rock Band in seven depressing years. The game forged a very destructive and negative atmosphere, due to the deafening sounds of the musical instruments and songs. I screamed into the microphone aggressively, attempting to follow the violent lyrics shown on the large television. I was anxiously moving along to the beat of the song, jumping energetically from side to side.…

On the first day of high school, I stepped into a crowd of students, waiting to enter the building that would become my second home for the next four years. I didn’ not know where I would stand among these highly accomplished individuals, or if I would even amount to the standards set before me. Self-doubt began to fester inside of me as soon as I stepped through the front doors. I expected less and less of myself as time went on.…

    “A handful of moments I wished I could change, but I was carried away,” are the lyrics that remind a lot about myself. Growing up, and even about two years ago, I was insanely shy and did not talk much around people, friends, or family. The way I talked to people was in a timid, soft spoken way, which looking back, was awfully embarrassing. My friends and family would laugh at me because I could not talk well, and when I did talk, they acted as if I were a baby who just said its first words. With all of that nonsense going on, their idiotic response kind of made me not want to say anything anymore.…
