Personal Narrative: My Experience With My Parents

Improved Essays
It was in the middle of the summertime in the Hong Kong Sports Insitute when I had the conversation with my parents. I remembered, the sun was so bright and the air was so humid that I can hardly breathe, its almost like I'm inside a giant oven. After a long and tedious day of school, I took several public transportations to have my running practice. It happened right after I had lunch with my teammate after an exhausting workout, waiting for my parents to pick me up. Everything seems fairly usual, comparatively to any other days until my parents walk in the cafeteria with my coach. I'm excited when I saw my parents, my eyes were lit up like fireflies at night, as I was getting ready to go home and enjoy the rest of my day, my dad walked up …show more content…
Being at the airport during holiday time is like icing on the cake, I get days off school and get to go on vacations with my family. Conversely, here I stand during Christmas time walking toward the check-in counter, everything seems so familiar, besides I'm not going on a vacation nor anywhere with my family, I'm going on an adventure, an adventure that might lead me to success. Soon I finished the check-in process, had breakfast with my parents, we say our goodbye as it is time for me to go. I didn't say much as I was trying to not turn this into a dramatical scene, where tears were pouring down like we won't see each other ever again. Anyhow, I can feel my eyes start tearing up as I realized it is the first time I travel such a long distance away from home, and knowing in the back of my head that the smell of freshly brewed coffee and the familiar faces I see every morning will soon become a luxury. I gave my parents hugs as I'm ready to take on the adventure of my own, a transformative journey that will teach me imperative skills to be independent, extraordinary memories that will enshrine in my heart, and astonishing experiences that will abide with me …show more content…
but now, when I look back to all the places that I've been to, all the friends that I've made, and all the memories that I've had, I learned that if I wanted to affirm any consequential ideal, I have to be temerity to accept changes and embrace it. I saw snow for the first time, being away from home for the first time, and all the astonishing opportunities that are given to me, it is the best decision that I've made and I can't imagine what my life would be if I stayed in Hong

    I hate Christmas because nothing is phenomenal. I am not being facetious. I assume that Santa was busy and remiss when he forgot to give me a Christmas gift. Every time I saw other children play with their new toys by looking through the translucent window, I consternated about Christmas, and felt disconsolate. It is a paradox that a rich country should be so many poor people.…

    As a child, having rules to follow wasn’t unheard of with my family. There was always a way to behavior with friends/family, at school, at home and out in the street. Often I found myself getting into trouble because I didn 't listen and also the fact that I always found some kind of way to slipping out of having to doing something that I knew I was supposed to do. But out of all the people in my family my mom was the strictest. When expectations set high, not meaning them meant my siblings and I typical had a week long cleaning punishments along with handing over all toys, games, and light up sneakers; about three times a week this happened to me.…
