Personal Narrative: How My Mom Changed My Life

I have never had the picture perfect family, I have absolutely no memory of my parents being together. I have always lived with my dad and visited my mom, that is how my life has been. Every weekend was dedicated to my mom and the weekdays I would be with my dad. I was already used to this and it was a normal thing for me. This is why when my mom moved to Ohio, it wasn’t the biggest change for me. I would just spend all my time with my dad and then go visit my mom during the summer. Of course being away from my mom was and is hard but it has ultimately made my life better.
My mom moving to Ohio had a huge impact on my life. It brought me closer to my Mexican culture and made me realize how much I love it. All of my life I have been the “white …show more content…
A lot of people assume that I don’t have a good relationship with her, or that she “abandoned me”. In reality I talk to her all the time, for hours at a time. When I visit her during the summer we talk for hours in the middle of the night about everything that comes to our mind. The reason I believe we have this great relationship is because of her being away from me. When she moved she would call me every single day and we would talk for so long about what I did at school or what I’m going to do during the weekend. Eventually these conversations became more mature as I aged and has turned into the deep and personal conversations we have now. My mom knows things about me that I would never want to directly tell my dad. I genuinely believe that if I lived with my mom she would never know the things that she knows now. Her being away has basically forced us to communicate a lot and I love that we have created a strong relationship. It feels great to be able to call her whenever I feel like it and just be able to talk and talk without being judged. My mom moving across the country is truly a blessing in disguise in my

    Personal Narrative: How Life Changed My Life

    Disappointed, disbelief and fear filled my mind as I sat there between the shattered windshield and my steering wheel. I couldn’t stop thinking about what just happened, what did I just do, and did this really just happen to me? My lungs began to tighten up as I began to cry out of fear. Knowing that my parents were back in Arizona and I was there all alone with no family.…

    Personal Narrative: How Mom Changed My Life

    Mom was small, a slight 110 pounds but through my eyes, she was large, even after my height surpassed hers. To this day, she would argue that she weighed only 100. Her strong presence claimed her space, and anyone else's that she cared to. Being right was of utmost importance to her, and she made sure always to have the last word. Overbearing, and overprotective of me, her only child, she usually controlled every situation, regardless of how trivial.…

    Personal Narrative: How My Mother Changed My Life

    I was born in San Francisco to a single mother, and I have never known anything different. My mother provided an incredible life for me, for which I am eternally grateful. At the age of eleven my mother decided it would be financially best to relocate to Casper, Wyoming, where she would have the help of her family to raise me. Although the move was extremely difficult for both of seeing that we created friendships and bonds with people that we would no longer see as often, my mother has never made a decision she didn’t think was best for both of us. My mother always puts my well-being first which has given me my love of helping others.…

    Personal Narrative: How Every Woman Has Changed My Life

    Over the last ten year I have grown into a very independent woman. Ten years ago I was 13 years old and pretty much dependent on my parents for transportation, food, and money. Although, I was young and still dependent on my parents they made sure to give me responsibility at a young age. Looking back then to now I see the world and people in a totally different way.…

    Personal Narrative: Moving Away From North Carolina

    Moving here from North Carolina when I was four changed my life completely, I was away from my family who I lived with my whole life, thrown into a school with a bunch of kids who lived here since they were born and told to “make friends.” This changed the next 13 years of my life to something I can never picture not having. The first four years, both my parents had full time jobs and my grandma helped raise me a lot, she taught me so many manners and how to behave, she even ended up living across the street from me for 2 of those years, they were rough for my parents, new baby, just moving, having to find jobs, making friends, and getting food on the table for me. Thats where my amazing family came in, with bringing home cooked meals…

    Personal Narrative: My Mom

    I hate Christmas because nothing is phenomenal. I am not being facetious. I assume that Santa was busy and remiss when he forgot to give me a Christmas gift. Every time I saw other children play with their new toys by looking through the translucent window, I consternated about Christmas, and felt disconsolate. It is a paradox that a rich country should be so many poor people.…

    College Admissions Essay: How My Mom Changed My Life

    Without her I honestly wouldn't care about school. She made me understand that school needed to be taken seriously because if I didn't, I was going to end up like my father which right now isn't such a good thing. She was actually the main reason why I signed for T STEM. I saw her going to college because she wanted to see her kids have a better life and I thank her everyday for this. Without her our family would have ended up in the streets a very long time ago.…

    College Admissions Essay: How My Mom Changed My Life

    When I first started writing this personal statement an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia swept over me. I grew up seeing my dad with a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer from 1970,s. We used to live close to a river called Kornofully. Most of his patients were from fishing colonies, where people could barely have two meals a day. He used to give them prescriptions along with medications which he got from different medicine companies.…

    Personal Narrative: An Interview With My Mother

    When I first learned of this assignment my first thought was to interview my mom. She is the one person in my life I am closest to. Since we are only twenty three years apart, I thought it would be best to focus on her life up to the point where she decided to have kids. Though I knew most of what she told me it was still nice to just sit and talk about her life experiences. My mother was born to older parents and was the youngest of three children.…

    Personal Narrative: My Mother

    “If a woman cannot stay home with her children, then maybe she just should not have them!” Natosha Keller, my mother, is a stay at home mom who believes if a woman were to have children, her number one priority should be to take care of her children and not have to worry about anything else. On the other hand there are other mothers who do not have a choice to being a stay at home mom, and they have to work to support their family. Making the decision to stay with your children or join the workforce can be a difficult process. For a lot of parents it is damaging for them to be away from their children for more than a few hours a day, and that is a big reason why we have stay at home moms.…

    Personal Narrative: The Person Who Changed My Life

    Almost everyone will meet, or has met someone in college that has significantly changed their lives. For me, it didn't take long at all for me to meet that person. I met her on our second day of college of our first semester, basically my second day of my entire college career. I didn't realize it right away, but over time I noticed that she was really changing my life. I would have never met this person in high school because first of all she lives in a different town, but even if we did live in the same town, or even went to the same high school, I still would have never known her because I didn't really branch out and make a lot of friends back then.…
