Personal Narrative: My Memoir

My Memoir It was four years ago, around Thanksgiving, when my mom’s boyfriend broke his legs. We were climbing a rock at the mountain, giant rock. Then suddenly he slips and was going to fall on his back but then, he landed on his feet. It didn’t end well because it turned out that he shattered one leg then broke the other. He was in the hospital while I lived with my aunt. Then when he and my mom got back we moved in with my grandpa I lived with my grandpa, who has a farm in Landers. There were pros and cons to this. One of the cons is that I lived with a really grumpy grandpa who was always mad and would argue with anyone. Another con is that I lost all my friends from my old school.

    My experiences over the last six years living in NYC have shaped me into the approachable and compassionate person I am today. I have been immersed in a melting pot with many different culturally and economically diverse populations. These unique experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to gain valuable communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I searched out opportunities to give back and help the people in my community both in volunteering in hospitals, educating high school students, and interning in private practices. I even traveled with the organization Medlife, setting up a medical clinic to provide basic medical care and education to people in the poor and underserved communities surrounding Lima, Peru.…

This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    A Life-Changing Book I have loved reading ever since I was a little girl. Many times my mom would have trouble pulling me back into reality if I was hooked on a new book. For me, reading as always been a way to escape reality; experience adventure, mystery, and romance without even leaving my house. I think the reason I love to read so much is because I can travel the world, see famous people, and hear stories of life in the past by just opening a book.…
