Personal Narrative: Lif Life

	Living is about making choices. The choices people make shape their lives for better or worse. Even the decision not to choose has its effects, often not wanted. But the individual who chooses to make positive choices and to act accordingly is more likely to see his or her life reflect his or her beliefs and desires. Usually the individual who chooses to take action is also willing to face the risks and obstacles that such choices involve.

The bright white screen fills the room as I hold the remote up to the TV. I flick continuously through the channels, hoping something will take my fancy. I pause on a breaking news story. The voice of a woman fills the air as she explains. ‘A runaway escapee and murderer last seen heading towards the South end of Australia has disappeared. Anyone in the areas of’, I reach for the off button as the mumbles of voices drown out as the TV turns off. I put the remote down and shut my eyes. The dark patterns and swirls fill the darkness as I fill my mind with the endless possibilities from some of the deepest parts of my mind. I replay the series of my day over and over in my head. Replacing the mistakes in the day and presenting myself with what

One of the worst days of my life was Monday, February 23, a day that started like any other. After pressing snooze a few too many times I woke up rushing to get ready to make it to school, I wish I took my time to get ready a little slower and didn’t make it. Being a freshman the principal coming on the announcements during first period seemed like something normal, except now my heart stops dreading what he’s about to say when I hear “pardon the interruption.”

Well, I can’t say that I am not scared. I mean…I am kind of standing beside my shed looking for someone. Let’s see, what can I do to get this off my mind for a few minutes? I am not really thinking straight right now, but I will keep thinking. Suddenly I hear a twig snap, and just like any “ brave” boy would, I go and investigate. I turn my flashlight on to get a better view of the tree rubble. I don’t see anything so I turn to leave and come face to face with a masked man. Out of nowhere he pushes me to the ground and sprints off. When I look around, I see that the ground is littered with broken glass, but I think nothing of it. For some reason when I stand up I feel a whole lot shorter and surprisingly itchy. I do one quick glance

Whenever I fight, except with the girl at the school, there seem to be a part of me that is turned off. Everything around me disappears and the only thing that matters is the person in front of me. I’m not angry with them, I don’t want to hurt them, I just don’t want them standing in front of me anymore. The bell rang and he got to swing at me once before I ducked under his straight right and hit him with a right hook. As he turned, next came the left cross followed by a straight right and he was out.

A mentor of mine once shared with me this quote from Bradley Whitford that has always stuck by me: “Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your Creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon High, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.” I think about it often when I am working, doing homework, or just working on a home project. It is one of those things that doesn’t leave once it’s there. I try my best to fulfill that quote, even if I don’t always succeed. When I was doing research on universities, my mother told me that she had graduated

Life will take a lot of labor or work and it can also involve helping others to better yourself as a person and your community. By working to help others you build a strong character but also touch others with your efforts. This action isn’t physically rewarding but can be remembered by others and they may be in your life continously for your efforts. The labor you put in teaches you many things, part of it is also observing and learning. By obeying or listening to your elders you learn life lessons that you can carry on into later life that shape your character and follow you through your work. There are many things to learn from your elders, whether it’s lessons, stories, or even techniques.Each thing to be learned is of value and what you learn today will carry with you unto tomorrow, by working with your elders you can learn many things. The final value is of Independence, as life is full of labor once you are old enough you will learn to do things on your own to make your own life. Once you reach adulthood the labor or how hard you work determines your path in life. To live a fulfilling life you must work hard to be able to provide for yourself or your future family. If you do not work then you will go nowhere in life and simply depend on

I seem to have the same connections with these writer, I also started writing at an extremely young age and most of the time it was because of societys outlook on the more curvacious woman, I wanted them to see that we also fit into the heroine role, we too look good on the arms of the hot guys in the book, that we are not just something to turn their noses up at.

Today I'm talking a plane to south America to drop these packages off. Its calling for bad weather but the dumb pilot says, "it's okay I've done this a million times." He's cocky, he's young and looks about my age, I get on the plane and there's already problems, I don’t need to die today. I tell him "We can fly another day" "No were fine", man what's up with this guy he's in such a hurry. We take off and everything's fine so I nap and then BAM I wake up to the sounds of an alarm, the plane is crashing and there's the pilot swinging his head with his eyes closed I run up to him and tell him to control the plane and then he shoots forward hits his head on the controls, great just great I'm in a plane with a pilot that’s passed out and now he just hit the controls so now were really screwed. I run to the back of the plane and grab the life jackets and put one around him and myself. I can see the land coming into view and I'm freaking out, as I brace for impact I see the pilot and he's struggling, his ocean blue eyes bulging out of his head, and he's crying he's young around my age and I know he doesn’t want to die. I run to him and pull him off his seat and have him crouch down by me he's holding on to me and he's saying and yelling "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" We grab five

I believe that each human that prevails in life has a similar objective, achieve bliss. With the end goal for you to succeed you have to experience the way toward growing up. You should be instructed and gain from experimentation. How much individuals appreciate unwinding and joy they know it won't get you far in life. Everybody needs to live with some restraint. They have to adjust everything out. Take my dad for instance. He graduated secondary school with An in light of the fact that he worked to a great degree hard in school. That An enabled him to be acknowledged to a decent building school. At school, he adjusted his whole timetable. He modernized his classes, studies, work and social life. On the off chance that he had excessively or too little of one man wouldn't have succeeded. All that diligent work paid off and he was employed by a designing organization. During his time he has worked his way up to turning into the administrator. In two or three years he can resign and as he put it, "do what he generally needed to do." He revealed to me that life is a struggle yet general all the diligent work is fulfilling and for your great. "Each prudence or greatness both brings into great condition the thing of which it is the brilliance and makes the work of that thing be done well". I think this quote well clarifies that in the event that you buckle down you will prevail to your most extreme

On a cool September morning, there was a lot going on in the Bookert household. My mother ran in my room and yelled “Get up and get your bags! It is time for us to go!” I woke up all confused and replied “Go where?” She continued to yell and fuss at me. Then it hit me like a bird hitting a window. Oh my gosh, my sister must be going into labor.

In Paulo Coelho book the Alchemist it stated how we all have come into this world for a reason, but we come across situations that interrupts or affects our path that leads us to our personal legend and along the way we should stay strong and never lose faith in ourselves. We should never give up and fight for what we want. When we are young we are so sure that when we grow up we will become whatever we dream of, such as working for specific careers, travel, or something that will make us happy. Although, in today 's world we need to set our grounds and become confident in ourselves and avoid any distractions and never lose faith because after all the hard work things will come into place.

Sean was currently on a plane, flying back to his dorm room from his trip to Canada. After hearing the announcement go off about almost arriving to his destination, he sighed in relief, wanting to get off of this crowded plane. 2 hours had passed and Sean was now in his dorm room, unpacking. He got a voice message from his friend, Lisa, his childhood friend.

Tears blurred my eyes as I watched hundreds of balloons fill the solemn grey skies. I tried to clear my vision by wiping the tears away. Even with the light wind, the water pooling from my eyes would not dry. After my failed attempt to stop crying, I looked down at my fingers and saw black streaks of my mascara and eyeliner. I take out the scented Kleenex tissues from my bag and wipe my fingers on them. The only thing filling the silence was the constant sobs coming from people around me and my own. I found a sense of comfort in my best friend. I could smell her fruit scented shampoo as she laid her head on my shoulders and clung onto me. As our group of friends surrounded us, we all hold on to one another, finding solace within each other. This was the first time I mourned a death of someone I loved.

Life is very short. In fact it might be a little too short. Everyone has dreams, and hopes. Everyone also has fears, and laziness. We all want to go places, but we all also have things that hold us back. With these factors life may be short, and it may seem that we don’t have enough time to make our dreams into a reality. We may not get to try everything that we want to try in life, and that is why whenever you get an opportunity to try something new in life you have to capitalize on it. I believe that the way to succeed in life, it is to try new things whenever you get the opportunity.
