Personal Narrative: Creating A Magnificent Life

Improved Essays
I’ve been through an amazing journey in creating my magnificent life. Throughout my college years and marriage I’ve looked back on this project multiple times.

I had to get back to the real world,and take care of my kids. My husband had found my research papaer from years ago and it said I had to appreciate what I still have and move on ("Coping with Grief and Loss."). It hurt and was really hard but it helped I still cherish all the things she has done and forget the negative things ("Coping with Grief and Loss."). Although it 's only been a year since I lost her I’m glad she got to see me grow into this, a successful, and happily married women. So far my life has had it’s ups and down, but I wouldn’t give anything to change it. I love my family, and the person I’ve become in the past twenty years.

    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.

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.…
