Personal Narrative: Nicolas Cage

Improved Essays
Famous actor, Nicolas Cage once said,” The biggest problem for me was feeling that as I became more balanced and a better man that I wouldn't have the fire to create from.” I like quote because it describes the type of man that I want to be. As a result of my life growing up, I have learned that I need to be who I am, who I should be friends with, and getting ready for the future.

I was born and raised in a small town called Clovis, which is in New Mexico, it was fun to get to see a few things and get to meet the rest of my family. Even though I did not stay there for too long, moving to different places was fun and stuff because my dad is in the military. First, we had moved to England and stayed there for three years. Then after that, we headed back to the US and went to Utah for six years, and that’s where I started school, after that, I went to Guam for about a year and a half, and it was a peaceful tropical place. Finally, we left again, but we took three planes to head back home. First, it was Hawaii, then California, and last Utah to stay at my friend’s house for few days. Well after that, we have made it to Virginia. I have to say, it was some fun going to different places.
