Personal Narrative: My Memoir

Improved Essays
My Memoir I remember day that my parents told me I was going to have to move schools, it was a huge turning point in my life and it might not seem like a big deal but it was, and still is, to me. Both my parents are principals at Lincoln County schools so they switch schools periodically. This happened the summer of my first grade and I didn’t understand all of their duties and how the school systems work. It was around June or July at night almost time to go to bed, when my mom told me to stop playing and talk to her for a little bit. She started off by saying her job has changed a little bit and she would no longer be the principal of East Lincoln High School, now she would be the principal of Battleground Elementary.

    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.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. 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.…

    The past week I kept a journal, recording how I felt at different times and different places throughout the day. This is the first time that I have written down and paid attention to how my energy level changed during the course of the day. I occasionally would think about how much energy I had or how drained I felt at different times in my life, but I never took the time to write it down and observe, so this was a new experience for me. I started my geography of energy journal on Sunday October 4th and ended on Sunday October 11th. The first day of journaling I had to work at 7:30 A.M.…

    I am running, again, it’s exhilarating, just as I remembered, but this time something feels different; maybe I just understand it better this time. I had been little the first time, and the second, the third time had been only a few years ago but those few short years had felt like a long time. Now it’s my fourteenth birthday, not that it matters, and we are running again. Johnathan had been afraid for a few days, growing more anxious at every squeal of tires and every bang of car doors, the tipping point had come when he had heard a car engine last night. Non-government vehicles hadn’t been allowed on the roads after dusk for almost three years and it was one law nobody had ever dared break.…

    I was once told, “What you learn today can improve all of your tomorrows” (Ralph Marston).I am a firm believer that whatever journey gets thrown someone’s way makes them the person they become. These so called journeys, teach us the most valuable life lessons. Whether the lesson has a positive or negative outcome, it sticks and becomes a part of that person. I have experienced many life lessons, though some I may not have wanted to experience. I wouldn’t want it any other way.…

    Let me first of all say that I’m Nigerian and how big a deal and normal it is for at least 7 out of 10 Nigerian parents to continuously nag their children about how many relatives are watching them and waiting for them to succeed. Most times the children including myself have no idea who most of these extra relatives are because previously we only knew a handful now members of the community and church attendees who we once said hello to because our parents accidentally bumped into them after mass join that category. And let me not forget the already married and unmarried but successful children of aunts and uncles and may be one or two or may be ten more unknown relatives they’ll constantly talk about in the form of comparison. So yes, to…
