Personal Narrative: Something I Learned About Myself

Decent Essays
Something I learned that was important about myself. Is when we went to D.C and we walked alot I thought I wasn't gonna be able to walk that much because I had uncomfortable shoes on. Now I know I should wear comfortable shoes on. If I don't think about how much were walking the pain will go away. I thought when we were in D.C. that I wasn't gonna be able to walk too much stairs when we went to every stop but the real one i thought I wasn't gonna be able to walk to the top was Abraham Lincoln Memorial and I walked all the way to the top now I know if you believe In yourself then everything is possible also if you take your time and not rush yourself you'll be fine.
I also though I was gonna miss my family when I was gone because I'm used

    The first time, I enrolled in this class, I felt excited knowing this class would help on my grammar, so I can become a better writer. My first thought that cross my mind was this was going to be easy and it was. My last experienced with writing and English was okay because I mainly get a B or a C, but rarely I would get an A. I always been having trouble with grammars. My high school English teachers taught us about grammars and how to become a better writer. It was similar to what you had taught us in class because we always learned about grammar out of a book and we got tested after we been practice.…

    Overall, I cannot say I hated this class. I have learned a lot from it and have had some fun times as well. My skills as a writer are, I hope, at least average. Before taking this class my skills were far below average, sadly. I was terrible with grammar and word choice.…

    As I entered the class on the first day, I was thinking “I hope to God that I don’t blunder in this class.” Mostly for the reason that I was atrocious at composing essays due to my poor grammar and transition so my goal was to advance on my writing skills. Then the professor came in and she looked like a courteous person overall. I was overwhelmed however on what was to be expected to get done and what was to supersede in the class. Especially with the three absent rule.…

    This year, Latin was hard, and for a student, hard often means that they did not like the class. My experience could not be further from this common belief. I absolutely loved my time in Advanced Latin II, and it made me enjoy Latin for the first time since seventh grade. Eighth grade Latin was bad. We have certainly alluded to it in class, but we have never truly expressed the terribleness of 2015-2016 Latin I and Ib.…

    Although, I used to see my room with no significant meaning, it is now obvious that it does hold a valid representation of myself. Nathan’s conclusion on college students based on her study on the door decorations in her hall, differs from what she may conclude about myself. Although, what her hall mates and I represent may differ, Nathan can come up with several conclusions based on my dorm. It is evident that I have a high value on my education, apparent by my numerous scholarly achievements and the educational quotes I look up to, and my appreciation of family is conspicuous by my choice of photos and the family-friendly environment in my dorm.…

    I’m not a big fan of the popular sentiment and Lady Gaga motto of being, “born this way.” While the intentions are inclusive and positive, it ultimately takes away all agency of the individual and the significance of their experiences in shaping their ever-developing personality. In reflecting on my own upbringing, I can see the people and situations that have led me to my current understanding of myself. As a quiet observer, I absorbed everything I am from the people around me who I considered important, and slowly came to critically observe both these people as well as myself in order to make sure that I could feel confident and satisfied with my own beliefs and identity. I lived the entirety of my first 18 years in Rockford, IL, a large…

    I can’t remember a time when both of my biological parents were together, I only ever saw them exchange very few words when my mom would drop me off with my dad every other weekend until I was eleven. It always seemed like my parents were in a battle of tug-o-war, and I was the rope, splitting birthdays and holidays. I didn’t really understand why my dad was signing away his parental rights when I was only eleven, but I did know that it meant he would no longer be my dad. I am not sure how or what happened to make my dad decide he no longer wanted to be a part of my life. Maybe he decided I was no longer worth the percentage of his paycheck that went to child support, or maybe it was his bitter wife who did not accept me because I was not her own.…

    I am not just myself. I am not just one among the masses, one in a sea of seven billion, one in an infinity of complexity—far from it. I am a library, containing everything, indeed everything, that has touched my life, no matter how small and trivial or how big and traumatic. I am salvation. Physical, spiritual, mental salvation I bring.…

    Part One One thing I pride myself on is the way that I look at life. No matter the circumstance, I choose to believe that whatever happens is God’s plan and is happening for a greater reason. I can remember the first time my mom told me that everything happens for a reason, I was very young at the time, I know this because I was taking a bath with my two younger brothers when she got a call saying my great grandpa had passed away. My brothers and I were obviously very confused with the situation, we had a lot of questions, that is when she rubbed my head, told me not to worry, that everything happens for a reason and it would be okay. I think because this was such a sad time, and I felt that I couldn’t talk to anyone because everyone was mourning…

    Forever and ever the road seemed to stretch, as though it was designed with no end in mind — as though it was designed to go on forever. This would not have been all that bad had it not been for the fact that I was treading in territory somewhere deep in the heart of Mission, Texas, a city entirely unfamiliar to me. I was surrounded by an unknown frontier, and I knew not which way led home. To make matters a little worse, I had my younger brother, Diego, age 14, in the passenger seat beside me. Driving with me is not unfamiliar to him, since he 's been a frequent passenger of mine since I received my license.…

    My Life Experiences I am an African American, female, who grew up in a single-parent household with my mother and three siblings. I am the oldest child, and I have one brother and two sisters. We lived in a poor, rural area, Hopkins, South Carolina, and I was educated in the local public school system. The importance of education was stressed in my family. I remember my grandmother showing me her first-year college report card that she kept in her sewing kit and stressing the importance of completing my education.…
