Personal Narrative: Why People Are Ruining People

Improved Essays
The Earths population is around seven billion people.It would be impossible to learn the names of everyone in this world , let alone try to get to know everyones character. Yet everyone in this world seems to share one common thing with one another. Judgement. Although we do not know what others are going through , or what they are like , we tend to make quick judgements about others, wishing we may have it as “easy “ as them. The start to my senior year made me realize that this mindset truly ruins people. The cliche saying that everyone is going through their own conflicts whether it may not seem as bad as yours is true. I have been working at a restaurant as a hostess for the past three years now and only this year did I start running into conflicts with a coworker. we have an 8 year age gap , have different positions (she is a bartender), and barely talk to one another. I can say that I do not know this women at all, neither does she know me. Lately throughout the past year she would say rude comments about my outfits , what …show more content…
It was a public post on Facebook regarding my outfits , that my generation is shameful, and that my parents should of taught me better. Reading this I filled up with so much anger that I cried. Not that I cared what she thought about me, but that someone who does not know me had the audacity to say something about the way I was raised. My mother has done everything in her power to raise me in the best way throughout all the hardships that she has faced. Moving to America, not knowing a word of English was very hard when my mother tried starting our new life here. Then shortly after when my parents got divorced that also caused financial challenges for my mother and I. But even with these hardships , I never didn’t have all the things that I needed because my mother made sure I would have everything I

    Others judge us falsely out of jealousy, anger and ignorance. Judgement can be positive or negative, but either if unreasonable, presents an unnecessary stress that we must face. We often are our own harshest judges, without the additional pressure and stress due to the judgements of others. Living by another’s standards destroys…

    Every Life Matters I really only started understanding the meaning of abortion once one of my mom’s friends had one. Before that I had very little knowledge about abortion. My parents have always taught me to stand by what I believe and that others may have different beliefs. They always told me that I would meet people that would disagree with me and what I believe not only when it came to these kind of topics but many other things as well. Being told that, they told me to always respect people’s beliefs and their points of view because everyone has the right to stand by what they believe, just like I do.…

    I want to write about the experiences that I encountered after attending Carl Junction schools, and the impact and difference it made on my life. People think all schools are the same, that it is school, there’s kids and there’s teachers, you go and sit for 8 hours and you get marked as ‘present’ regardless if you’re learning or not, and if you’re present and you don’t fail, then you go on to the next grade. But I realized something different, when things got switched up for me. I attended Carl Junction schools from 1st grade to the very end of 6th grade, and then I started Joplin in the 7th grade, not knowing anyone from this school, or really this area. When I started school at Joplin I was so nervous, I was nervous about the normal stuff, that no one would like me, I would sit by myself, or people would be mean to me.…

    It is when we are asleep, we are given the power to let our minds wander. To lose all sense of reality and drift aimlessly through our subconscious thoughts and dreams. A time when all of our problems and struggles in the physical world slip away for a brief period of time. It is when we wake, we are forced to face the harsh reality of the world we live in. A world with crime and hate.…

    A Sign That Changed Perspectives Wing’s Chips” is a short story by Mavis Gallant with a very meaningful message. The theme I felt the short story carried was that even though many people have different views on what is right or wrong, they want to be respected and accepted for who they are. “Wing’s Chips” focus is on three separate cultures, who in the end learned to respect each other. I feel as though many people could relate to this story if they have been racially discriminated against. The story is based on young girl and her father from England who go to spend a summer in a rural French-Canadian Quebec town.…

I am very sensitive about my weight and get really bad anxiety when people watch me attempt to work out.…

    Destructive messages are when “both [partners are] so irate that they [say] horrible and unforgivable things to each other… these [hurtful words] often leap out of our mouths, in the form of messages that permanently damage our relationships” (McCornack, p. 275). Last semester, I found out that my boyfriend, Brian Adams cheated on me with a girl named Jillien. I found out because Brian had personal messages calling her “babe” and saying “I love you”. I found this out while he was playing basketball and left me with his phone. I then called him out on the matter and called him a bastard.…

    At the age of 16, I would have never expected something as simple as young love to ruin friendships. When it happened to me, I was in shock. I never thought she’d come into my life just to control me and manipulate me into ruining the relationships I had with other people. We were suppose to be in love, right? People who love you shouldn’t ever do that to you, but I was blindsided.…
