Personal Narrative: How Miles Changed My Life

Decent Essays
When I was seven years old when I went to Disney World and rode the fastest and biggest roller coaster that I had ever ridden in my life. I got my first dog in North Carolina on my 8th birthday and his name is Miles he changed my whole life. I was 9 when we moved to the current house that I live in now which was a impact because I was moving a little farther from most of my friends. When I was ten years old I got my second dog and his name was Cooper and he left an impact on my life because he was just a huge snuggler. I was eleven when we went to Myrtle Beach and I found a giant lollipop and had some family time and went shopping. A big impact that happened to me when I was eleven was that I got baptized and I will never regret getting baptized.

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…

    “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.…

It was then that I understood my childhood was not my choice, but how I choose to live the rest of my life was. My mother never wavered in her faith that if I wanted to do something in my life the only thing that could hold me back was myself.…
