Personal Narrative: The Sink Episode

Decent Essays
The Sink Episode When I was in my teenage years I would say I was rebellious. I used to enjoy doing things I did not suppose to do, well I guess we all do at some point in life, I feel like doing the opposite of what people tell me to do was a lot of fun. My mother was a very strict person, for her everything had to be military style as I used to call it, nor I have anything against it. I grew up having a lot of household restrictions and the word "no" was an answer to almost each and every of my questions (insert cue violin music and tears here, if you feel like it). Anyhow, to give some boring, no one cares background about my childhood, I have an older sister, we were very close and used to do everything together, of course up to certain …show more content…
Now think of me as a chubby double chinned kid who definitely was going to struggle to get out from that opening, did I think about it at the moment?

In any event we got there started ordering and of course lost count of how many we had already, time passed very quickly and the beer started to take effect in me, meaning that I needed to go to the bathroom desperately, but oh no, only one bathroom in the whole place and there was my sister ahead of me running towards it, I managed to stop her but she got loose and went first, I went inside right behind her so there we were both and me begging her to go first otherwise I would have an accident, sister did not care about my suffering and as I saw my opportunity lost while she was making jokes I decided to sit on the sink, which was one of those all ones with nothing at the bottom to hold it, needless to say, I fell with my pants down breaking the sink and water started to come out all over the

    “A leader has to watch every word he or she says and quickly learns that you can’t go through life without a few critics, some well deserved” (pg. 5), this quote as some of the beginning words from MacDonald truly shows that a leader has responsibilities to uphold to. I found it interesting that he showed these responsibilities are not only external, but internal as well. Many do not realize the internal battles that leaders in ministry go through, and in order for leaders to handle a situation in a mature manner; they must uphold to the responsibilities of character they are expected to maintain. There are many internal and external expectations of leaders that are specified in Building Below the Waterline, but only some really stood out to me as factors that I would practice more than others in my leadership positions.…
