Personal Narrative: Mormon Woman

I had a dear friend reach out to me who was also a divorced Mormon. She wrestled with herself and who she wanted to be. As we talked, we talked much about who she used to be and how much she loved that woman. She wondered why she couldn’t call that woman back to the place she is now and was frustrated in the place she currently was.

I started to reflect on my journey. How did I become the woman standing today? How did I develop from the darkness I felt?

It is not an easy process and its weird because although I am doing well and I have grown a LOT... I also feel like I am in a weird box of “I am just NOT the same...”

When I was rebuilding my life after divorce I always wanted to BE WHO I USED TO BE. I looked back at my past with a golden

    The characters in all quiet on the western front were significantly changed by going out to the war and sting and feeling everything they felt. The characters changed and became totally different people, so different that it could be difficult it would be hard for anyone to recognize them on a personal level. I personally have had an experience that has changed me drastically. This was something that literally changed my life and my outlook on life.

    Personal Narrative: My Religious Community

    My religious community has played a profound role on my development as an adult, the three guiding principals of Zoroastrianism: "Good Thoughts, Good Deeds, and Good Words" guide my actions daily. Being part of such a small community while heightening my sense of being has also made me more appreciative and understanding of other cultures & groups. For me understanding others has become a key component in understanding myself. My community has also enabled me to be a better communicator- as often times questions are asked regarding my ethnicity and religion where I can act as a spokesperson for the…

    Matthew Watson's Influenced My Life

    On an ordinary day, around 4:45 pm, I, Matthew Watson entered society as an innocent and delicate infant destined to inherit this world. Full of life and energy, but, in desperate need of care, I was greeted with unconditional love from two enduring individuals, who had persevered through the trials of life: my parents. I can only imagine what I felt during these times. Being constantly under watchful and careful eyes, having utmost attention, and most importantly living a happy, simple life were all commodities that I enjoyed. However, this would come to a halt as the power of the sin of man and woman overwhelmed my family.…

    Personal Narrative: The Unitarian Universal Church

    The Unitarian Universal Church that I went to was in Lexington. The building was the classic old white church with a steeple. In front of the building was a park, to the right side was the graveyard associated with the church, and in the back was parking. The church was along a semi-busy road. The building from the outside looked like a classic church with white wood with a steeple.…

    Personal Narrative: Looking For A Christian Lady

    The consensus of those who know me think that I live a blessed life. For the most part, they are correct, however, what they don’t see is how much I truly desire the companionship of someone special. Someone with a sense of humor, is sports minded, likes to travel, and has a real passion for life. Someone who is fit and loves to dance, and has the desire for true romance. A real bonus for me would be someone who sports a sun kissed complexion.…

    Personal Narrative: Her Belief In God

    Her belief in god is that he did this for a reason and he took her things as a sign. She believes that all of her things belonged to god anyways and he was just collecting them “it was his own, it was not mine” line 17. Her attitude was sad in the beggining but then she became positive when she started to think about why it happened. She needed something to fall back on because she has nothing and she is using religion as her fall back. She jumps from being positive to being sad she doesn't really know what to think of the situation.…

    On August 26, 2005, I gave my life to Christ, and it was the start of a whole new chapter of my journey. I still remember that night vividly in my head. The feelings of excitement, joy, and love were very tangible in my heart. My mom and dad were both sitting beside me on my bed while I was told the importance of this decision and how my life would never be the same. Even at 5 years old, I was aware of my decision to follow Jesus and accept him into my heart.…

    Personal Narrative: My Involvement In Church

    During my childhood and lower teens, I was very involved in church. I would go to every event or meeting put on by our church. Watching certain senior youth members, I didn’t understand why they would just come to the fun events. I would only see them during our mission trips or camps, but never at business or regular meetings. Then I promised myself that I would always stay as active as I could.…

    Personal Narrative: My Life As A Woman

    When we were announced to break into two groups, those that feel privileged and those that feel non-privileged. In those few seconds, I knew we were going to be split up into girls and boys, however, I felt more accustomed to going with the guys then the girls, yet I stayed. It felt weird to say we were the oppressed group because we are women, yet I never felt that until I got into college. I never had to think about being a woman, only at times did I ask myself why was I born a woman. I think I felt weird due to being the oldest in my family, my family consists of my parents, my younger sisters and I.…

    Heredity Influences

    Influences of Heredity and Environment I am the first-born of a stereotypical outspoken boisterous Italian/French Catholic family, where family and religion was the foundation of my life. From as far back as I can remember, there was laughing, loud talking, hand waving, hugging, kissing and unconditional love. I struggled to be in such an outspoken atmosphere at times because my personality as a child was more of an observer than a willing participant. I was at heart painfully shy, sensitive and insecure.…
