Personal Narrative: My Individual Creativity

Improved Essays
Every person in this world has an individual creativity built within them. My individual creativity personally took me a while to uncover, I only recently unearthed my true creativity during my junior year. I express my creativity through makeup, poetry, painting, drawing and redecorating my surroundings such as my room which I like to think of as my sanctuary because it’s the only place I can disconnect myself from everything, focus on myself and reflect on my days. Makeup is my main outlet of expression since that’s the one that’s in the spotlight and is a quote on quote paraded for the public eye to see when used correctly and minimally to enhance ones beauty it makes a person look more presentable and put together. I was inspired to write …show more content…
Drawing for me started as simple doodles here and there on my spare time when I did not have much to do this later evolved into more complex doodles such as collages of people with different facial expressions and them doing activities. Home decoration personally is my favorite I very much enjoy the change. From installing new furniture, new bed sheets, blinds, and frames my room has seen and gone through it all. My room has gone through more colors than the rainbow. I take pleasure in having a neat and aesthetically pleasing room as it makes life more simple since everything has its place and when I arrive home I can immediately start on whatever I have to finish that day and then proceed to go to my room and …show more content…
My mother passed when I was five years old she not only left me behind but also left my older brother Brian who was seven at the time and my younger sister Kimberly who was only a six-month-old baby. This had a great impact in my life because my father was left to raise us on his own until he remarried and had help from his wife before he remarried it was very difficult going back and forth from my father's care to my mothers family care when he went to work since there were many other children around but I always ended up isolated since the only people I would ever talk to were my mother and father. My brother would get bullied in school and taunted by other children for not having a mother and "being a girl” for crying about it at school he once was hanged on the school fence by older students for this reason. I was always afraid of this situation happening to me so I would suppress the fact of my mother's death due to my fear and never really dealt with it until I grew older although I still haven’t overcome her dead because she was the women who created me and a great part of my life I no longer carry hurt or hate in my heart but instead pray for her soul and thank her for watching over me all these years. This has affected my academic achievements by helping me to not give up and keep it pushing for my mother and family and also for all those people who doubted me

    When asked to define myself in one paper, I find it hard to show the details that I want to in the right light. When asked about my future after high school, I also have a hard time describing everything I want to get done because there are far too many things to name. The quote “ _____” (i want to be everyone and do everything and there isn’t enough life to do it all in) describes me to a tee, and I believe this college is the place I could do this in. Being a shy person for most of my life, many things were difficult for me. Specifically, last summer I had the opportunity for a summer job.…

    When I think about the boy who I was growing up, the young adult I am today, and the man I plan to be in the forthcoming years, one aspect of my life stands out to me far more radiantly than anything else: my culture, my skin, my identity as a Bangladeshi-American. There aren't many clubs or organization for Bangladeshi Americans such as myself. Make no mistake, there are certainly events for Bangladeshis living in the United states, many that I have attended due to various entreaties from my parents. These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…

    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…

    I didn’t know what I was in for after that day. A writer’s key experiences is what makes them different from other writers and is crucial to their growth as a writer. The writing I composed in Mrs. Heningburg’s class was central to my development as a writer because it made me more confident in my writing and made me more aware of others reading my work as a writer. After hearing my last writing assignment's result in the class, I started expecting a high scoring on my writing works. The compliment about my essay from my sixth-grade teacher changed me, so let's start from the beginning.…

    I learned that all the prewriting is not the same there are different formats of writing. I haven't learned which essay writing best fits me. I believe that the one that fits me the most is the free writing because I can just write down anything and continue without stopping. I can write to whatever comes to mind and even though it doesn't make any sense I still write it down I feel that most of my best writing comes from free style writing. I can only do my best when I feel that I am able to more work under pressure and that I can relieve a lot of my stress by writing.…

    Whether we know it or not in this modern society we are writers everyday of our lives. These interactions shape not only how we communicate but how we write as well. Personally, I have been shaped by the influence of both other writers I have known and those I have only read the creations of. Those same influences contributed to both my writing style in the classroom and to my identity as a writer. I spent a lot of my childhood with my nose deep in fiction novels at near by libraries.…

    When I was younger, I would eat up books faster than I got them. I’d frequently been caught reading books in the zaniest of places. I remember wanting to try writing, although I could never fully convey the words in my mind onto paper. Every once in a blue moon when I was able to; only I could understand what I wrote. It had fascinated me, and honestly frustrated me, that people could write these whimsical and arcane books that I’d held onto like a mother to her child.…
