Personal Experience: Personal Narrative Of My Life

Improved Essays
I find myself becoming increasingly unsure about my life every day I go to work. I feel myself stagnating. I no longer enjoy the simple pleasures that life has to offer. School is one of the only ways to better myself and I am finding that taking classes while working full-time may have been more than I bargained for. I am made abundantly aware of my lack of significance in this world with every passing moment. I try to find some sort of greater meaning in my actions every day, while working, and while attending class. I have started to come to terms with these thoughts and feeling as being destructive in nature. I am working on finding the causes that are influencing them so that I can better understand how to counteract them. By staying positive …show more content…
I started taking life seriously at what I would consider an age a little too late. My drive and work ethic have me wanting more without having to put in the required years it takes to complete school or advance in my career. While I should be proud of what I have accomplished, I can only see it as not being enough. Sitting in the same job, trying to finish school as quickly as possible thinking about where I would have been by now had I taken my education more seriously is pointless, but gives me great unease. I need to work on my individual growth as a person, be it just learning to accept that school takes time to accomplish and careers take time to build. Going to class and doing well, along with fulfilling all work-related responsibilities will contribute to my growth. I will stop thinking about the past and what could have been, and start focusing on what I am achieving right now and what will come from my present struggles. If I can manage to obtain a sense of certainty and contribution, it would definitely add to the feeling of …show more content…
I am going to start focusing on things that I have control over in the present, and expand from there. I will start contributing more to the things that I can. I am hoping to find more satisfaction from work by looking at things in a more positive light. Doing these things will hopefully allow me to better grow into the person I want to be. Putting into effect these positive changes will translate into what I hope will be finding significance in what I do for a living, along with how I live my

    I hope to show my best to others and they would see me as a good example and would come to me for help. I know what my goals are in life, I know how to accomplish it and how strong my desires are when I want to be successful in something. I always try to be kind to others even though I know I might have every right to be angry because then others will be kind to me when they have any right not 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…

    In general, what I have learned through my life experiences exercise may not be a priority for the majority of people. Children and teenagers should be getting daily exercise; there are no excuses for them to lead a sedentary life. Young adults in their twenties are usually focused on themselves and their appearance drives them; therefore, the majority achieves their exercise goals. Exercise will probably not be a priority for new parents trying to adjust to the changes they are experiencing now and will continue to experience for the next eighteen years. Their focus will not be on themselves; therefore, allotting time, whether 75 minutes of vigorous or 150 of moderate activity in not likely.…

    Lovell Jenkins 52932512 The value of education is important to some individuals, but not to everyone. Some people might think education is not important, or they think it’s a waste of time, but I think differently. Education is important to me mainly because it can determine what my future holds. It’s also important because it can teach me everything I will need to know to be prepared.…
