Personal Narrative: My Life In High School

Improved Essays

I do not have many regrets in my high school career, but I am glad that I was able to learn from them. When I was a freshman, I was just beginning how to find my place in the world. I was confused about who I wanted to be and how I wanted to live for the rest of my life. Being a current senior, I look back at my past seeing that those things were silly.

Because I was so young, I did not care about anything other than myself. I got in trouble in school, at home, and even in church. My attitude was the worst characteristic that I had. I woke up every day as if I was not thankful for anything. I did not realize then that a negative attitude was contagious. I brought my bad attitude with me everywhere I went. All of the bad things in my life came along with me not having a pure relationship with God. I woke up every day thinking that there was no purpose to living. I could not have cared any less for what God had planned for my

    Growing up I was always the tallest kid in the class. Whenever class picture day rolled around, I knew that I was in the front of the line because of my height. It was somewhat embarrassing when all the boys were shorter than I, and the girls made me feel bad for how out of place I was. Not only did my height provide social awkwardness, it also administered the constant, never ending struggle of finding garments long enough. Whenever my mom or grandmothers wanted to take me back to school shopping, I made excuses of “I don’t need any more habiliments” or “I do not feel good, all of the sudden…”…

I just never cared about the consequence of skipping so much, good thing I never got caught. Meeting new friends and new attitudes and a little more of responsibility and to be honest waking up so early every single morning was not that fun.…
