Personal Narrative: A Deeper Meaning

We Have a Shot At Everything: a journal entry about a quote that tells you to never give up

Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.

“People will hate you, rate you, shake you and break you. But how strong you stand is what makes you.” is a quote that I love.I have experienced it,and I can I have learned from it.I have lived through many event that have changed me, but the one that has had a biggest effect on me is the following.

I woke up and took one bite out of my pop tart but that one bite was all I could eat. My legs were shaking, and my heart was pounding. My dad told me, “It is a true honor to even make it this far so go out there and have some fun.” Once I heard this statement, I knew I was ready to go. I arrived at school and boarded the bus. The car ride was an hour and fifteen minutes of hearing the squeaking of the wheel on the bus. My teammates were getting their heads ready for the big game.

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." (Forrest Gump)

¨If it doesn't kill you, it always makes you stronger¨. She told me her story about her family and She had to make a choice to stay or leave and she decided to leave for the sake of her son. That saying holds a lot of value to me

I was incredibly excited. School was starting tomorrow. The first few days were just icebreakers, learning everyone’s names, blah blah blah. Then the real learning began. Of course, teachers started to write our lessons on the board. I started to notice a few changes in what I was seeing. The words they were writing were just...black lines! I didn’t pay much attention to it, I just asked my friends what the board said. As the year went on, it affected me more and more, especially in math. I saw a 2 as a 6, and and an A as an 8.

Just so you know, this is the Big Apple and I rule this town. New York City is filled with tall buildings, great culture, and historical sites. No other city has so much beauty that it takes your breath away; yet, there is a real danger that lurks on the streets. I should know because I am Detective Michael Morgan a United States Super Spy in charge of capturing dastardly villains who are set on destroying our world. Armed with mind-altering powers, Alex Higgins is on the top of the FBI’s list of the ten most wanted men in America. This thug is one of the greatest danger to our world and must be captured and jailed in the vault of death. There is no place safe for him to hide from the law and rumor has it, he is in my town. You break the law here in New York City, you pay the ultimate price: freedom.

There has never been a quote I relate to more than this one, especially with what I have going on right now. I am terrified, unconfident, and confused all at the same time. I do what little tings I canto change that, but it always just gets worse. I know the only way this situation will get better is if I play the waiting game, but I’m young and anxious, and waiting is hard.

My initial perceptions about the students of St. Angela were very stereotypical. Honestly, I expected those students to come from single parent backgrounds and come from a low income household. I expected to deal with students who live life in a survival type of manner. What I mean by survival type of manner is for one to be on defense seeing the type of the children are from the Austin area. Walking in to St. Angela I expected to deal with kids that didn’t listen and know respect for authority. I expected this due to my upbringing in the same neighborhood.

“You must do the things you think you cannot do because it never gets easier keep your head up and smile.”

I love this quote because it encompasses several valuable life lessons. For example, it has taught me to be hopeful and optimistic for my future, even when everything isn't so peachy. Back when I was seven years old, I played softball. During one of the first few games, my team was falling behind and everyone was

Universal Quote: “If you do something with your whole heart and it’s a mistake, you can live with that.” By Florence Welch. This is important to inspire others because this quote demonstrates that if you do something that you put all your effort into and you did it with your heart’s approval and satisfaction then you can know that it wasn’t for nothing. You can say that you tried and it doesn't work

“Happily ever after does not happen overnight. It takes a lot of sacrifice, patience, tears and blood to make it work.”

“Nothing is as good as it seems beforehand” by George Eliot reminds me of one of my favorite saying. “Walk a mile in my shoes” means you have to live another person’s life in order to understand where they are coming from. See life from their point of view. This saying means a lot to me because I feel if I can live my life by this quote I can become a better person. By not judging others before I get to know those like I once did.
