Personal Narrative Essay : My Love Of My Life

The journey that Richard and Mildred Loving took is important for history and for the future of civil rights in the United States. I recently watched the documentary The Loving Story and enjoyed the footage, pictures, and interviews of everyone involved in the Loving v. Virginia case. The documentary addressed the issue of interracial marriage in Virginia in 1967.

Reading and writing has always played a vital part in my life. From toddler to adult, pre-elementary to college, I’ve managed to sharpen both skills to my liking. However, even though it significantly helped, schooling was not what influenced me to continue developing those skills into talent. Many different things shaped and influenced my learning, and now reading and writing have become the safety net of my life. I know that even if I have nothing else in the future, I’ll still have my talent and knowledge. To ensure my success, I hope to further develop those skills so that I may fulfill my wishes.

When asked to write a personal essay I pondered the many things that I could write about and nothing seemed quite right but one of the events that I truly believe changed my life. That is why I chose to write about basic and what I have learned from being in the army. Everyone has their own stories so no one will have a story that is similar to mine because everyone's life is different. That’s what makes mine stand out, I can guarantee that my reader will be able to experience something that they themselves have not even if they have been to basic themselves. My hook in the beginning is actually how I wanted my whole essay to be, but the more that I wrote the more my essay changed to a more inner thought sort of essay. This change hurt me later on though when I changed from past tense to present tense and back again without catching it. This was an easy fix however and some of my other minor errors were brought to my attention by Alex in my writing group when we switched documents with each other.

He sat in the lobby of his dorm as soon as he realized he would have to pull an all-nighter in order to finish his books. His roommate, Joey, liked to get to bed early, so he packed up everything he thought he would need and went downstairs to read . . . and read . . . and read some more.

When I first entered high school, I thought I knew everything I possibly could about writing essays. During my freshmen year, I made good grades in my English class, which only furthered my enormous ego with my ability to write. Moving into sophomore year, a new teacher came to North Murray High School, and I was lucky enough to receive Mrs. Kim Knight for my tenth grade honors English class. She was like no other teacher I have even experienced, Knight, from the very beginning, pushed me in absolutely everything. The first essay was assigned, and I knew I was going to do wonderful. I felt very confident in turning my essay in until she came back with them graded and gave a long speech about how many of us had work ahead, but that was good because she was going to teach us how to compose an essay. Despite the speech, I had some confidence left that my level of writing was good enough to satisfy her criteria. When I received my essay, I could barely rad it because of how many red marks took up the pages. Now my grade was not terrible; I received a high eighty, but that’s when I realized my ability to

UP TO THAT DAY, I'd had a Brady Bunch, cookie-cutter, beautiful life. I now know what it's like to have a 110-story building that's been hit by a 767 come down on my head. For better or for worse, it's part of my life. There are things I never thought I'd know that I now know.

Currently my biggest form of exorcize is daily walks with my son. However, I use to be involved in Basketball and dance and I would like to enroll in another dance class and start shooting more hoops. I have osteopenia, muscle spasms, carpal tunnel and tendonitis, all of which would be improved by weight loss. In fact, aside from the carpal tunnel, my doctor is under the impression that weight loss may all but eliminate some of my biggest health plagues. I have already altered my diet, now I need to increase the amount of physical activity in my life. My son is my biggest motivation, he absolutely adores our walks and presses me each time to go further and further. If, at the age of three he wants to walk a half a mile

They say it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. Those words are not comforting to me. But, I love you Deborah, he says as we sit on the couch in my basement, his voice shaky, and uncertain. He looks into my eyes as if pleading, no, begging for forgiveness. I don't recognize these eyes that once provided me with happiness, security, and comfort. These eyes used to reassure me that indeed he did --used to love me. It hurts to look into them; I turn away.

The heavy sky, swollen with unspent rain, sagged toward the earth. It was a raining day. I didn’t think I have ever been so serious before. “..When did my mom lose her voice?” I asked my grandma with a heavy tone.

I had never made biscuits and gravy before. The blessings of having a good cook as a Mom were abundant, but alas, I never did learn the many techniques that wonder woman possessed. My repertoire included: peanut butter cookies, a deliciously heated can of Pork n Beans, and Rice Krispie treats that were always too crunchy. But, Joseph wanted biscuits and gravy, so that is what Joseph got.

Anger comes from many places. Throughout my past, my main critical adversary was competitive sports, baseball to be specific. In my final baseball game I learned many things about myself. There were two strikes on me in the first inning and I swung and missed on the final pitch. From that one swing I dove into a two year slump from which anger controlled my life. Accordingly, I was at a crossroad, and had a decision to make!

I never really thought about where my life was going. I always believed life took me where I wanted to go, I never thought that I was the one who took myself were I wanted to go. Once I entered high school I changed the way I thought. This is why I chose to go to college. I believe that college will give me the keys to unlock the doors of life. This way I can choose for myself where I go instead of someone choosing for me.

All my life I dreamed of being an athlete , having a foreign car , and models on my arm. Little did I know everything I once wished for was the result of my demise. As I lay in this space of emptiness I feel my breaths getting shorter and my body feels weak.I wish I could go back and do Emily right , and do right by myself. But I deserve to die alone in this time warp. Before I die let me tell you my story. I’m exactly what parent despise and what people look down on. I work in a diner for $9.00 an hr and live off tips. I live in a local motel and survive off the scraps I steal from the diner. Ever since I lost myself back when I was 18 my whole life went down hill. I went to Richmond high and was the star athlete. I had scholarships from schools all over and I blew it by ruining my reputation. With all praise I received it came with new opportunities other than scholarships aka women and parties. The love of my life supported me all the way up until my downfall , and her name is Emily but Em for short. Despite my faults with cheating she still searched for the good in me and made me believe there was good within me. I was foolish and took advantage of her kindness she weared thin. As quickly as she loved me is how quick she left me behind. Heard she has a whole family and her husband is a CEO or whatever . That’s my biggest regret losing her. About a week ago I went through a midlife crisis and wanted to go back and change my mistakes . I was desperate to relive and do

This explains the beginning of my life all the way to the end of my life. My life from the beginning was very fun as I grew up living with my mom’s friend and my friend. But there were a lot of fights and I was very hyper back then. I have ADHD so back then when I was little; I was very hyper and wouldn't stop moving around the place. I always was annoying back then and never seemed to get my homework done at school.
