Personal Narrative: Temporary Changes In My Life

Improved Essays
I am a teenager and I abhor admitting that hormonal fluctuations cause temporary changes in my mood and attitude. That is simply a side effect of life that coincides with existing and growing and changing. One day after school I was near menstruation, which more times than not causes me to be in an imbalanced emotional state. I was upset and unhappy with life for no valuable reason, and it was horrible to be drowning in an emotion that I had no desire for. I love life, and people, and communication. Therefore no one deserves me in a state where I cannot provide my best self. Nonetheless, I felt stressed and anxious so I vomit wrote before taking my shower. When I vomit write, the process is very similar to actual vomiting. There is a release …show more content…
I have had many days like this one. Usually before I begin menstruation I have apparent mood swings. I fall into a disgusting slump and it causes me to even feel dislike of myself. I love people and my family, and in a normal state one may say that I am overly optimistic. This is why when I become irritable from hormonal changes, I enjoy hibernating because it puts me at a lower risk of being offensive towards my loved ones and later regretting it. I completely value respect and integrity, so it disgusts me when I cannot produce those two qualities at full …show more content…
To dig my ditch a little deeper, I played sad music and denied the joy of the Lord that I know resides in my heart. I despise self-pity, so I made myself believe that the situation was more sophisticated than that. Every female menstruates for heaven 's sake, and there I was thinking my life was over! It is amazing how hypocritical we are when it comes to defending and evaluating ourselves. If another person was emotional from hormones, I would simply tell them to pray. Jesus is almighty and far more faithful than I, yet the last thing I did was pray and seek his direction because it was easier at the time to continue to fall and loathe in

    One day I went to her home and she was sobbing uncontrollably. I thought maybe it had something to do with her going back to school, going through a divorce, or her many life changes. I found out later, when we sat down and talked, that she thought she was going through menopause. She thought this because, at a very young age, her mother had experienced menopause, similar to hers with the tears and everything.…

    I can feel the hate in the pit of my stomach, and there is not one part of me that wants to get out of bed this morning. This may sound like I am complaining about a Monday morning, but really, I am talking about waking up with depression. Getting out of bed is more of a task for me than ever this morning and I know that my day will only get worse. But will it?

    “Throwing Down The Gauntlet On My Life” I’m a junior at Presbyterian Pan American School. I was born in Brownsville, Texas, but since my parents are Mexican nationals, I grew up in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, Mexico. In 2013, my parents told me to “pack your bags” you are going to Kingsville, Texas. I came to Texas three years ago to attend Presbyterian Pan American School (PPAS), a senior private boarding school in Kingsville, Texas, on an academic scholarship. Talking about different aspects of my life is daunting, but it also allows me to come to terms with my growth as an individual by learning from my failures, confronting obstacles such as adapting to new surroundings, and a different educational system, speaking English properly, and adjusting to a real world working environment.…

    It’s very strange how one experience or choice you make in your life can change the rest of your life that follows that event, would you then in turn change these decisions you made. Such as your what if your mom conceived you not on the knowing basis. What if everyone was telling her not to because she was to be a single mom and that’s not a world a child should be born into, but then what if she challenged this belief that she grew up with.

This may be of the more extreme choices in life that some people must make but we all have that certain time in our life that comes where we must break away and make…

    There are approximately 397,000 children in foster care in the United States of America currently and I used to be one of them. However, foster had not even been near the forefront of my mind that summer.

Stories about how hard high school were numerous and often regaled on the crowded bus ride home by high schoolers who seemed to have the knowledge of every wise teacher in history combined. which that scared me to death; I had always held my position as a good student who followed the rules of my middle school.…
