Personal Narrative: My Place

Decent Essays
Acres to Thank
I am thankful I have a place to go,
A place of my own.
Where the stars shine bright in the dark,
My mother explaining all to me.
Where the water glistens in the sunlight,
My father playing with me.
Where the earth crunches under my feet,
My brother standing stern against me.
All these things I learn from this place.
It’s shouting at me, quietly, all this knowledge,
As long as I listen.
So I am thankful I have my own sacred

    When I think about the boy who I was growing up, the young adult I am today, and the man I plan to be in the forthcoming years, one aspect of my life stands out to me far more radiantly than anything else: my culture, my skin, my identity as a Bangladeshi-American.

These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…
