Personal Narrative: Who I Am I

Who I Am
I have changed a lot so far in high school. No one is still the same person they were in junior high, and definitely not the same person they were in elementary school. Everyone is always changing constantly and that is one of the most beautiful things in life. It is kind of like how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. The caterpillar is still the same, but it is just a better version of themselves.
In freshman year, I did not really care about anything. I lost many of my friends from junior high, because they had changed so much over the past summer and I am guessing that I changed a lot too. To be honest, most of my friends from junior high were not even important to me. I did not care that I lost them. How sad is that? Your friends

We were in orchestra together, we listened to the same kind of music, and I needed someone in my life. I had another good friends, like Nicole and Audrey, but Rachel was the most important to me. My friend Katie ended up blocking me on almost everything. I had no idea why she did that, but she did. It hurt me a lot knowing that the one person I trusted with everything did not want to be in my life anymore and I had no idea why. Was she jealous that I had other friends? Was it because I had not talked to her as much as I used to? Or was it just because she decided that I was not important to her anymore? I still do not know the whole reason why we stopped being …show more content…
I went to Homecoming, and hung out with my friends all the time. I got a job at McDonalds as soon as I turned sixteen and I loved it there. The people I worked with were amazing. They were always being optimistic and they were always there for me. None of them knew how important it was to me to have people I could always talk to about life. They were just so amazing and I loved them. I spent a lot of time outside of school at McDonalds, and so did a lot of other people around my age. They really helped me realize how great life is. We were basically a family at McDonalds and I loved that more than anything. I did not really enjoy the work, but it was worth it because I got to be around all of my friends. I was basically being paid to hang out.
Junior year has just started and I can honestly say that I am a happy person. There are still days where I feel depressed and suicidal again, but those days are extremely rare. There are days where I want to grab a razor blade and hurt myself to make myself feel better, but I do nit do that anymore because it makes no sense. I still do not talk to my friends about the problems I have and I still bottle things up inside, but I am working on that. Life is getting

    She was a great friend to have because my brother and I would hang out with her every day. After a couple of days later we met her grandfather and he wasn’t always happy plus he smoked and drank everyday which was weird and it was also disgusting. He would get mad at Melissa just for her hanging out with either me or my brother, because her mother will always be working and she doesn’t have anyone else to take of her. After a couple months later I have learned that her mother sister was also living with her grandparents and it shocked me because apparently she had been there since we met. Christina was her name and she was a cool person to be around with she took care of my brother…

    This is my first year of high school, and so far I am enjoying this year more than any of my previous years in elementary school at Aviston Elementary. In the past years, I was a stressed out loner who was easily annoyed by everything and could not get long-term projects done without having a melt down at some point. However, in this year that has changed. I have made a few friends who have stayed with me for the entire year, learned to tolerate immature, childish actions, and have not felt completely overwhelmed to this date. This year and previous years both had their moments, but I would not change anything that happened because they both helped make me who I am now.…

Some people who were my friends at the beginning of freshman year, I am no longer that great of friends with now.…

    I was constantly left out of things and had to push my way back into conversations. As uncomfortable and as hard as these moments were to go through, they were the moments that showed me what I valued in my friends. It also showed me that they weren’t the people I was supposed to be friends with. As time goes on I become more and more confident and comfortable with the decisions that I have made that have made in choosing the friends that I have today. We were bound to stop being friends due to the amount of change they undertook in their morals and attitudes and how much I had not.…
