Personal Narrative: My Work

Improved Essays
My Work Thus Far Since I am in the Health & Human Services Institute, and this being my first year at Gulfport High, I have never had the opportunity to acquire any personal accolades as a CAB student. However, in the past I have been acknowledged for a handful of achievements I happen to take much pride in. A number of these achievements I speak of are somewhat personal, and may have only been recognized by my self conscious. Nevertheless I plan on sharing each of them with you. For three consecutive years I was a member of a boys youth group in my old community of Saginaw Michigan. From an outsiders view, it may have seemed as if we were a fraternity for high school students. The name of the group is the Gamma Kappa Kudos. Kudos for short.

The groups join one another for several days and participate in different workshops based on lessons centered around leadership. One of the many assets we are taught to use in our everyday lives. We also prepare talents for the last night of the conference where we compete with other chapters in categorizes such as, drama, art, math & science, oratory, dance, music, and vocals. This gives us a chance to showcase some of the gifts we possess. Not until my junior year did I decide I wanted to perform a talent. I was stuck between acting out a monologue or reading an original oratorical piece. One of my Kudo brothers and I, came to the conclusion I would compete in oratory and he would perform a monologue. The judges voted in both of our favor in rewarding us 1st Place prizes. When I became aware of the news the next morning I was ecstatic and could hardly believe it. To my surprise I was awarded Kudo of The Year at our annual Spring ball just a month

It was very hard for me to adjust, I was fatigued and emotionally hurt, I turned to writing. My love for writing grew into a bigger part of my life when I kept dream journals.…

    Whether we know it or not in this modern society we are writers everyday of our lives. These interactions shape not only how we communicate but how we write as well. Personally, I have been shaped by the influence of both other writers I have known and those I have only read the creations of. Those same influences contributed to both my writing style in the classroom and to my identity as a writer. I spent a lot of my childhood with my nose deep in fiction novels at near by libraries.…

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today.

A couple years ago I was a completely different person. I was out of shape physically, my academic performance was very poor, and I had a terrible attitude.

But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
