Personal Narrative: Why I Am Today

Decent Essays
The reason I stand where I am today can only be thanks to the many exemplary role models and mentors that I had throughout my high school experience. Each one of these amazing people helped me shape my future in inexplicable ways, if it had not been for their constant eye-opening and thoughtful remarks I would have never left Houston to study in Greencastle, Indiana. Now that I am here, I can't help but look back and say a million thanks to the people who encouraged me and inspired me to become the best that I could be, not only through words but by showing me I could do what I set my mind to. This is the reason I have promised myself that I will be that role model and inspiration for the kids behind me. I feel that being an Advisor for Young

    I am someone who smiles Someone always telling jokes to make sure no one thinks something is wrong So no one suspects a thing when they see my smile I am someone who fixes the feelings of those whose hearts are shattering like pieces of glass I am someone who loves to dress up and wear makeup so no one sees how truly I am From the bags from staying up at night to the red from crying, both under the concealer Tears behind my eyeshadow-covered eyelids Cracks underneath my red lipstick And the pain within the mouth that contains whitened teeth…

From having family supper all gathered at one table, something that is being seen less and less in these days. To working cows, my family and the ranch has had the most impact on making me the kind of man that I am proud to be.…

    Though I’m still developing my legacy, I like to think that most people who know me, regardless of how well, consider me a person that can put a smile on nearly any face. From my time in high school as photo studio assistant getting babies to giggle on camera to my work as a personal trainer cracking jokes to help clients through the worst parts of their workouts; I learned that a little laughter can improve any situation. While this is a fairly simple impact to have on people, I do believe that it’s a powerful one. My own experiences with bereavement, chronic ill health and periods of poor mental health have shown me the value of a person that puts in the effort and time to get a smile out of someone. Though happiness is a pretty fleeting…
