Personal Narrative: How Mikennon Changed My Life

Improved Essays
I met Mikennon during the tender age of five, I still have a vague memory of sitting in my dad’s big blue lazy boy. I had a ball in my lap and was watching gargoyles. He walked in the door, we looked at each other. I invited him to sit on the couch and watch cartoons with me. I had no idea that this weird chubby kid would be like during middle school and Into high school. Not to mention the step-mother that would come in the Big Mac package.
When Mikennon and I were little, we lived in garden city and we had an apartment which had two floors. I lived in a little room on the lower floor and Mikennon and Cheyanne (my sister) lived in the living room. We had many rainy days that we would either get along great or we would hate eachother's guts. One day we got along great the two of us had the wonderful idea of jumping off the top bunk in the bed to the couch or onto the floor which we covered with an army of stuffed animals and pillows. It was wonderful fun until one of us pushed the other off or we landed wrong and went running to mommy. I remember having a big television downstairs also, which one day while playing with a half full, green, piggy bank found it’s way thrown into the screen as a young me was being rebellious to my sister.

I remember the moment my father walked down the stairs and was wondering about the sudden loud noise, followed by silence. Trying to hide the broken TV, we all stayed quiet and hoped he wouldn't turn it on. He did, I got in trouble and went to timeout in my room. One summer morning we had gotten bikes and were riding them around the dirt road behind the building. We found a red ant mound and as young, destructive children we didn't really think through the whole if you put your back tire on the mound and send it and the thousands of fire ants flying. Especially pissed off fire ants at two young

    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.…

    It’s very strange how one experience or choice you make in your life can change the rest of your life that follows that event, would you then in turn change these decisions you made. Such as your what if your mom conceived you not on the knowing basis. What if everyone was telling her not to because she was to be a single mom and that’s not a world a child should be born into, but then what if she challenged this belief that she grew up with. This then in turn affected all her choices later in life, but then vice versa what if she didn't challenge this belief and stuck with what she knew. This may be of the more extreme choices in life that some people must make but we all have that certain time in our life that comes where we must break away and make…

    There are approximately 397,000 children in foster care in the United States of America currently and I used to be one of them. However, foster had not even been near the forefront of my mind that summer. The summer before I started my first year of high school, I had plenty of anxiety about the tall tale I invented in my own mind that stood before me. Stories about how hard high school were numerous and often regaled on the crowded bus ride home by high schoolers who seemed to have the knowledge of every wise teacher in history combined. which that scared me to death; I had always held my position as a good student who followed the rules of my middle school.…

    “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.…
