Personal Narrative: Becoming An Adult

When do kids become adults? I think that kids become adults at the age of 18. This is my reason because when kids are 18 they get their driver's licence. Also when kids turn 18 they can vote for the government office. The phase from 18 is basically a time period where you start to think about what you’re going to do when you’re older. Lastly I think that kids become adults when they’re the age of 18 because that period of life is usually when the brain is almost or already is fully developed which leads to more maturity.

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.

While big events can make major changes, little events define how we become as adults. My earliest memories is at a five year-old. It is one spot where I have been to, in my thoughts, more than any other has. In this memory, it was evening, as I stood on a dirt path. It was an unpaved driveway for the church parsonage.

I consider an adult to be someone that is responsible for themselves financially. They pay the bills, do taxes, and work for a paycheck. Adults make the world go around, anything that requires skills or training to do can only be done correctly a trained and experienced adult. They played a crucial part in all the advances in technology in the past millennials. If all of them were suddenly abducted by aliens we would have drastic changes.

I am a first generation child to have been born in my family, the first generation who is about to graduate high school and the first generation to go to a college and succeed in life.

Everyone is phased with the same issues no matter how different they vary between person. especially becoming adults, we quickly learn that life isn't as easy as our parents or Guardians make it seem. not only do we have college To go through but we have our own lives to deal with. I give an enormous amount of credit to my mom for how easy she made it look. Not only that, I have three older sisters already living on their own taking care of their own things. they make it seem so easy as well. as a twenty-year-old, I might not have as many responsibilities as other people my age but I'm barely learning how to do this whole adulting thing.

The growing up process is all about messing up and learning from your mistakes. I don’t think the amount of mistakes you’ve made determines your character but rather how you learn and grown from them. People tend to learn a whole lot during the teenage years and I certainly did.There were a few situations in particular that I definitely think I learned from.

Throughout childhood we all say “I can’t wait till I’m a grownup” or we’ve been told the excuses of “when you’re older, you can…” Something along those lines has been told to every child, a person under the age of eighteen. I certainly remember the those times. It usually occurred when my parents and I were in our local King Supers and I began begging my mother for the king size recess peanut butter cups. Begging and pleading as though I was going to die if it didn’t get paid for and they each no followed another plea finally ended with her saying “When you’re grown up and have your own money you can buy as many as you want”.

Waking up, knowing the day was going to be the same, Elizabeth or Liz for short, was ready to go to school. Doing the same routines every day of school: waking up at 8:15, take a 10 minute shower, get dressed up, brush her teeth, do her hair, eat breakfast, walk out of her apartment, drive to school, and hang out with her friends until the bell rang at 9:15. Liz started the second semester in 11th grade, but now she has been in school for 2 months.

Have you tried and failed to get together with a girl or guy? Well this roller-coaster of a story will surely get you to empathize or sympathize with me, or maybe if it is that big of a failure to you, both.

Growing up life was rough. I came from a broken family, where my biological father who was a Colombian native born but here on papers and had trouble finding employment in Miami. He a some point gave up finding employment that was legal, that he then turned to something illegal and later faced 15 years for money laundering. While my father was doing what he believed was everything at that point possible to take care of my then teenage mother, little brother and I, my mother saw it as an opportunity to pawn my brother and I off to whoever would watch us and go out mingling with a man who later became my step father, once Marshall's got hold of my father and sentenced him. When my father left we lost everything including our mother, even though

In my three years of being here I’ve learned so much. Managing time is key. In the beginning I was pretty good at it but as I got better I’ve learned how to better my time. Really in my opinion you can’t teach someone maybe to some extent you can but not really. It has to do with experience with time management you need to fail once or twice before understanding the importance and how much it really does help. In life I’ve always had an easy time with managing my time so this wasn’t much of an issue with me. My career goals have been magnified since being here, realizing that what I want to do in life might actually be my reality. In this day and age not many people can say that. Through the Ferris classes I took here I was able to save fifteen thousand

"Louis McClymont, the nurse will see you know."As I took the dreaded walk to treatment room B, my fear of needles began to take over, the only time I ever had a jag before was when I was a baby, and that was too long ago to remember. I took a seat on the administering table; the nurse could see my body was shaking with fear. She tried to distract me from the enormous needle that was heading my way. "You're having a jag for yellow fever, where are you going?"

Growing up I thought the things that define my life would be way different by the time I turned twenty but they've stayed same. The things that define me most are music, books and my clothing. I don't plan on changing them any time soon.

For my interview with an adult, I chose to interview my mom. She is a software engineer that is currently working at TD Bank. She is managing and working on a project called UGO Wallet, a digital wallet for mobile phones. I chose my mom because I find her line of work intriguing and growing up, I would always want to test out the apps she worked on. Currently, I am starting to study computer science as well because I feel this might suit me as a career as well as interest me along the way.
