Personal Narrative: How Dating Changed My Life

During the salem witchcraft trials people were guilty for breaking the ten commandment. Based on the trial people had to know the ten commandments to prove that they are the god’s child. Even though some knew the commandment; they broke one or more of the commandments due to their actions like “You shall not steal”, “You shall not commit adultery”, “Honor thy father and thy mother” which should be followed and respected.

I have been in the Marine Corps for roughly three and a half years and throughout that time I have done many things. Most of the things that I have done were with Combat Logistics Battalion 26. For three years, I worked with that unit through work ups and a deployment and I have seen and done many unique things. However, nothing I did with CLB 26 felt fulfilling, but that all changed when I changed units to CLB 8.

I am currently a computer science major and plan on becoming a computer programmer. My love for technology including video games is unique along with my morals. Through the course we covered five moral philosophies which can fit into my life. There is not a perfect moral philosophy, which is why I will be taking bits and parts from the five different one to make one which fits my life style and morals. The five I will be dissecting are, Utilitarianism, Social Contract Theory, Kant, The Ethics of Care, and Virtue Ethics.

As the long nights pass and the sun circumvents around earth I stay awake. I question myself how one girl can affect my life so much in just three short days and how I felt in peace with myself. Not one day has passed without the thought of her smile and laughter. Just by portraying her name in my alphabet cereal I am founded with a semi smile and how my circulatory system is chanting the song wake me up by Avicii henceforth, telling me it's time to push myself and body and set new records for myself. Her smile starts off as transparent and fades with the moments we shared and her bright smile then become lucid once more. Getting to know her by asking questions throughout text messaging (around 3 am) I found out her three wishes which have hooked on to

When I hear the word ‘divorce’ the first thing that comes to my mind is a broken marriage or how the adults are moving on with their lives to bigger and better things, the same thing other people would think of when hearing this word. For me, there is so much more for divorces in a family than the mother and father. Divorces affect the children in the relationship the same if not more than it affects the adults, most people seem to forget that. I have been through two divorces now and I believe it has changed me for the better, and has made me become the person I am today.

I was fifteen and in the fifth grade. I had been homeschooled until I was approximately thirteen years of age when we moved to a different house and stopped school altogether. When I was 10, my mother stopped teaching my brother and I through books and made us use computers to do all of our learning instead. I was not very happy with the change because it was much more difficult to learn without anyone to actually teach a lesson. We did our work on the computer and taught ourselves for a few months until we had some of our family move in with us. They were a bit of a distraction to my brother and I during the times that we were trying to do our work. My mother saw this and chose to put our education on hold until they had moved out that way, it wouldn't affect our grades anymore.

The first time I did something that changed me from how acted and think was when I read a book. It was around 6th grade on a Friday, we were assigned to read a book over the weekend and complete a summary over the book. My Language Arts teacher, Mrs. Wonnell, had a bunch of books on her desk. We had to go get them off of her desk and pick which one we wanted. She called us up one by one to pick out a book that we would like.

There have been a lot of experiences that have defined me and fundamentally changed who I am, whether it metastasized into negativity or cultivated itself into positivity, it drove my core until the very present. Even as I continue to grow, I find myself constantly being challenged in different aptitudes, fighting against forces consciously unknown to me as a child. One experience in particular that I remember, was when I was younger I had been bullied quite a bit. It was actually several racist remarks that had made me cry home to my father, whom was no help to me at all. At the time, I would like to think I knew what racism was. I knew the idea, the concept, and that that concept had rejected my being as something not equal to those who chastised

There were many behaviors that I could have chosen that I need to work on to better my life, such as procrastinating less, sleeping more, or stop chewing my nails, which were all rejected because I chose the more important topic to me, I chose to be more healthy and lose 15 pounds. I chose this because I was not participating in any aerobic activity, was only lifting weights 2 times a week, and need to be in shape for next years basketball season. I designed my project so that I can get the easy stuff under my belt and in the schedule then I add the things that are harder for me so that is all I have to worry about.

I drove my father to a Vietnamese auto-repair shop to ask for an estimate on his car repairs. The response was not one we expected and my dad didn’t have enough for the car replacements. “Dad, I’ve some savings from years back if you need it.” Despite my offer, my dad couldn't cover the rest of the cost and was forced to sell his car instead.

The truth is I hadn’t noticed, I was too busy trying to figure out where I knew him from. I look back toward Kyle again. He is taller with dark blonde hair, he has a broad build and looks like he works out.

You walk too soon see a staircase;it seems never ending willing to touch the stars. Climbing the staircase until you’re tired, you find you are among the clouds; too high up to see what the surface of the earth used to be. You feel limitless, the breeze flowing through your hair and no skyscrapers to block your view of the wonderful part the world you live – Toronto. Each cloud seemed to have represented every memory, emotion, adventure, and achievement you have ever experienced in your life and everyone that has helped you in your beginning of life. From family members to pet peeves, ethnicity to my earliest memory, you’ll now know everything that describes who I am. A story only I can tell, The Story of Me.

There comes a time in everyone’s life when your perspective changes. Regardless on the topic, the event causes you to rethink your previous actions and set yourself straight. In my situation, the big event that caused me to change my perspective was a fight I had with my older sister. Growing up we never got along, mostly because we are complete opposites. Looking back majority of our fights are a blur, because they were so insignificant. However, the fight I am referencing is one I will never forget.

I'm the first to three boys and so of course we wrestled a lot. So when I started 7th I decided to join the wrestling team. That first two weeks was brutal I had a lot to learn. I work hard and improved rapidly. Then came my first match. I lost that match and every other match that year. We came to the end of year and I attended the end of year meeting. We had an award ceremony and I got the most improve award. My coach praised me for all the my improvement that year but still, all I could remember were the 13 matches I had successfully lost that year. I didn't want to continue at all. I remember having a talk with my dad towards the beginning of my eighth grade year we talked about determination and not giving up. I realize that my dad was right and I couldn't be
