Personal Narrative: How My Daughter Changed My Life

Improved Essays
I was the one who loved taking care of everyone’s children, but never wanted any of my own. Don’t get me wrong I love my daughter more than anything in this world. I just never thought I would be a teen mom. People say it’s a mistake, but for me I see her as my life saver. I wasn’t doing to good, but now I got my life under control even more.

    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.…

This pivotal spot is where I suffered my first traumatic injury, changing how I do things for the rest of my life; but also was the place I went to when coping with family incidents.

    If/when I have children, I vouch to always be there for them. I will show up to their games, I will read them a bedtime story, and I will help them up when they scrape their knee. I never expected much from my father, probably because he was not a real father. I have been watching him at a distance, stalking his Facebook profile so I can see what he looks like. It turns out, I have two little sisters, my mom never told me about.…

    “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.…

    I believe that a majority of my generation engaged in ‘quiet or secret’ delinquency – it was not brazened and just out in the open as you see now. And, it was NEVER the type of trouble that involved the law! Quite frankly, my daddy would have beat me to within an inch of my life if I had embarrassed him in that way! Raising my own children – eleven years between oldest and youngest – I experienced a considerable difference in the attitudes of ‘children’.…

    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.…
