Personal Narrative: My Michigan Hero

Decent Essays
“Whatever you are be a good one!” - Abraham Lincoln. My Michigan Hero has been there since day one. He does anything imaginable. In my eyes can carry the weight of the world. He’s hands down one of the most amazing people i’ve known my whole entire life. In all My Michigan Hero has taught me that life will never ever be easy and you will always have curve balls coming your way every once in awhile.
Ever since we were 4 years old we have always been told to do our best at anything we do. My Michigan Hero doesn’t emphasize it everyday, he shouldn’t have to. I know what he expects of me when I walk out of that front door every morning to stroll to the bus stop. On some small occasions I am guilty of not always doing what is expected of me.

    President Barack Obama once said “When all American are treated as equal, no matter who they are or who they love, we are all more free.” As a Hispanic LGBTQ American, these words resonated with me. In my exposure to a plethora of cultures, in my personal experience and academic career, I have had the privilege to understand and further appreciate many lifestyles. Through these experiences, my mission: to serve toward compassion and respect, rather than intolerance and isolation, has remained clear. These past 8 years, Obama has been a champion for LGBTQ+ Americans.…

    The Midwest is home to states with rich cultural backgrounds and popular tourist attractions. To take a break from the busy schedule I have as a student, and to avoid writing more essays like this, I went on a vacation to Michigan with my mother and two siblings.

These areas interest me because there’s plenty to do; there are amazing restaurants, breath-taking scenery, and family-friendly, inexpensive entertainment. South Haven is famed for its relaxed atmosphere and homely feel.…

Due to all of the events that have happened here in Indiana throughout my life, and due to most of my immediate family living in the area, I have a desire to continue living and working here.…
