Your Name Professor’s Name Course Number Date of the Paper Personal Narrative: Finding Identity I consider myself as the cosmopolitan person. I feel that we all should take care of and respect every person, thing or value. However, “the society is not the ideal place, where you get what you think of “(Perinbanayagam 25). It always jogs your memory about you, background from where you come and your limitation, rights and so on. In fact, I mostly find identity is the one concept by which people…

Quite frankly I think I can relate to how some of those students felt being placed in an english course that does not count toward college credit. I was never great at math, even when I tried the hardest to remember formulas, rules and even exceptions to those rules.

All three writers used their writings to display and bring about truth within a society of conformity. Henry David…

They’re not real and I’ve known this for a long time. I see waves of sunlight pour through the bathroom window, catching fire to thousands of specks of dust. Dust. Inconsequential to the highest degree. I start to wonder what it would be like to be dust. Abandoned and lonely. Drifting through the…

In high school, I struggled to find myself. I struggled to find what I was good at, and what I loved to do. My first two years, I had convinced myself that I was an athlete.
