The Story of My Life

to make. I don’t know what the word “home” means. At one point in my life, I may have had some idea, but that faded as I matured. When I was little, it seemed to be the place my family and I returned to after being somewhere else, such as Grandma’s house or the movie theater. It was where my bedroom with all my toys was, where my mother would bake batches of delicious cookies, and where my father grew his garden. It was a 3-story building in the tiny, rural town of Hartley, Iowa, separated from…

My Life in Three Faces Everyone can name a few things they remember from their childhood that could shape who they are. It could be any form of event, big or small. Could be something you learned from or something you won 't ever forget. Happy or sad, these events are either your most treasured memories or your worst nightmares, whatever they are they are you. A story my Mom and grandma always tell me how I got my grandpa to open up and play with the grand kids. Back when I was the only…

My story begins with my birth; my birthday is February 6th, 1996. I come from a very strict and orderly background and my story hasn’t been the easiest but I have come a long way. My mother was Mary Oliver, a St. Martian woman who had seven siblings that included my aunt who will later become a huge influence on my life. My mother and her seven grew up in St. Martin, a small Caribbean island not far from St. Thomas. There they all live under one roof in Grand Case, which is a town on the French…

Kids and adults today don’t care as much for an education like Keller and Douglass did in these stories. Keller and Douglass wanted to learn so badly that they went through the struggles that they had to. Hellen Keller was a blind and deaf woman and Fredrick Douglass was an African American slave that was not allowed to learn. Both "The Story of My Life" and "Narrative or the Life of Fredrick Douglas, an American Slave" share the central idea that education is worth the struggle they had to go…

Historical Narrative Rāhula’s story My dear students, I have gathered you all today to tell you a story. Of course, not an ordinary made-up one that we usually tell around the fire, but my story. The story of how my father was enlightened. The story of how I rejected the foul beliefs of Hinduism, how I stopped believing in the Brahman, and how I started living the life I do today as a monk. I, Rāhula, will tell you the story of my humble beginnings. When I was a young boy, I knew very little…

Helen Keller is given barriers throughout her life due to her lack of sight and hearing, but in her autobiography, The Story of My Life, she tells the tale of a girl who refuses to bow down to any barrier. As a young child, Helen "overcomes suicidal urges and months of self-imposed silence" until she is ready to open herself up to the world again (Snodgrass). The many hardships she and her family go through together only result in making Helen, and her bond with her teacher Anne Sullivan,…

My story begins at 12:47 am on July 8, 1997 at Shady Side Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. My parents, Josephine Vivio Celender and Michael Celender, had their first child and she was a healthy 7 pound 8-ounce baby girl with a head full of dark brown hair resembling a troll doll named Micaela Rae Celender. The first three years of my life were spent in this little city house in a community called Bloomfield or "Little Italy". Here I learned to crawl, walk, use the potty, make a lifetime friend and…

of My Life,” seems to have a point to get across in his short story about the unwanted being that the lovebirds have made. With the presentation of this couple in a descriptive and non-verbal way, one can see how the story seems to be intended for young adult readers who will be able to recognize the young, but powerful love that is shown. However, these loving notions are not to be seen without a conflict that seems to create questions of whether the love is just fabricated. The short story…

My story begins on an Excel Sheet. An Excel sheet on a Compaq computer in a garage filled with giant cardboard boxes. I remember sitting on the steps to our garage; my mother shouting out cryptic patterns of letters and numbers and the soft clicking of my keyboard. After that, is a blur. Probably because I couldn’t see through my teary eyes and smudged glasses. I remember thinking-no, knowing- that I wasn’t going to see America again and soon I’d have an Indian accent as thick as my father’s…
