Personal Narrative: Extra-Transcripts

Improved Essays
Transcripts Although there were moments of downfall, overall I am proud of the grades I have been able to accomplish over these past four years, taken into consideration that I am student involved in many extra-curricular activities. There have been plenty of times when I have greatly struggled in a class or I could not grasp a specific concept in class. Moments like these greatly discouraged me, and as much as it seemed just easier to give up, I continued to push myself to go the extra mile because I knew the grades I had previously received, were not an accurate measure of what I am capable of. Because of the extra effort I was putting into my work, I began to see positive results, therefore boosting my levels of self-motivation and confidence.

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    I wrote a book. One, where if it were a movie I would not be old enough to watch it without an adult. No, you can not buy it at Barnes & Nobles or your local bookstore or anywhere books are sold.

    Losing someone you watched suffer in their last days on earth doesn’t feel anything like losing a friend that was your age who had their whole life ahead of them, and losing both in less than a 2 month span doesn’t help either. The year of 2013 wasn’t the best year for me nor any of my classmates. For me it actually started when I was in the seventh grade, my mom received the rights to take care of my ill grandfather (her father). Turns out he was suffering from early age dementia; caused from drinking at an early age which happened to be 12.…

    The norm may not always be the right way to go. I no longer want to be a part of a popular or important group of people, if I feel that what the group is doing or believes in is wrong, even if it means I'm not a part of the norm. I am not afraid to stand out on my own. I have challenged this belief for many years. When I was in elementary school, I was bullied by a group of girls that I hung with, looked up to and idolized.…

    I think a writer's voice is their own style of writing, a perspective, and a tone. Our style is the mechanics of our storytelling. I think over time our natural style will develop and as we read various works, we begin to be influenced by the styles of those we choose to read. We begin to pick up bits and pieces along the way and eventually define our own unique style of writing. Experiences is what will shape our voice.…

    My grades are not as stellar as it should be since I had to focus on paying for my own living situation which only gave me the choice to work every day right after school. Through all my responsibilities, I lost academic focus and my grades, specifically in sophomore year, suffered. However, I learnt the very important lesson of maintaining balance and I take full responsibility for the grades that I earned early on. I’ve taken those lessons into consideration and have worked harder in my academic pursuits to elevate my grades to a level that I would be proud of. I've learned and I've improved my GPA ever since then.…

    Her voice is back. I thought it was gone. It’s back. I lay on my bed shoving pillows against my ears trying to get it to stop, but the voice isn’t something I can shut out because I know that it’s in my head. I hear her voice constantly telling me, “Come on, get up, get dressed, do something today,” but she does not understand how I feel.…
