Personal Narrative: Setting Myself

Decent Essays
Everyday I wonder how will I set myself free . I wonder will I ever be able to give the full me and not just half . I set myself back from many things instead of moving ahead in life . They tell you everyday that people are going to talk about you until the day you die, but that seems not to mean anything to me . This year I will make a difference in my life style. I wont let people words affect me the way they do .

As life goes on, in my head I wonder what people will say about my actions. I have to set goals for myself and this is one. This is an helpful goal because it is also a life lesson. Once i achieve this goal, i can be myself . No one will be able to say things that stop me from proceeding in life.

I can't do and won't
