Personal Narrative: My Accomplishment

Until I walked onto the stage to take a bow, I didn’t realize that I just danced, acted and sang a solo. It took me a long time to get to that fifth grade Christmas play where I wasn’t shy anymore. Due to the fact that I wasn’t Darth Vader anymore, so I didn’t need a mask strapped onto my face to breathe at night. Asthma, respirators and surgeries were what my childhood consisted of and I would have time to, at most, socialize with my family. Years after my final surgery, my currently bubbly-self erupted from within and many of my friends never knew how I was before.

My identity can be defined by moments in my life. Moving to Canada, learning English and going to high school are three major moments in my life. Going through these experiences have changed the person in me and made me more confident, stronger, better in everything.

Starting high school can be a little scary, especially when you have no guidance from siblings, like me, being the first one from my family to have an education. But that did not stop me from succeeding, I?ve always been confident and determined. I?m an enthusiastic when it comes to trying new things. Who would have thought I was going to be a good athlete plus a book geek, when in my past years I was just a regular kid. I was pretty excited about joining a club that had a connection with high school, that way I didn?t have to start from zero, I always want to be a step ahead. Fortunately, in summer, a high school coach was recruiting freshmen for running either cross country or track, they both involve running, so I considered it like the same sport with different timing. And this is when it all started. Running

Identity is a complex ideal that everyone struggles with. Consequently, people often will not act as who they are due to a fear of being ridiculed. To me this is such a ridiculous time waster, instead this time people waste on being someone else could be used for much more meaningful memories. Society makes people feel like they have to fit a mold, yet I personally have learned from my dad that it is a necessity of life to accept who you are.

“It goes upside down!” I said. My sister was telling me about a roller coaster ride in Disney World after our parents had broken the news that we were going the summer of my fourth grade year. The idea of going to a park was amazing, but the terrifying part was my slight fear of the fast roller coasters that my family enjoys. My parents looked at me, and I smiled with uncertainty. But on the contrary I started to feel a faint feeling of ambition because maybe I could overcome my fear.

People cheering! Stomping on the bleachers as hard as they could. Filling the air with noise. Everyone was standing p clapping and yelling. The other team disappointed as they saw the ball go into the goal. Their goalie tried to stop it but couldn’t get to it in time.

There is a sense of exhilaration that is felt when you exit a class with more knowledge in your head than when you first walked into it. That knowledge can be applied to other aspects of your life outside the classroom. In ‘Writing for Success’ I honed my skills more than I expected. In the course, I was able to distinguish between pesky grammar mistakes and control my issues with procrastination. After completing the course, I am more perceptive to what should be trashed and what should be kept.

Improvement is a strong word. I do believe this class has better prepared me for Comp 1. Some things I still need to improve upon, like, grammar, and phrasing of my word choice. Writing for me, is an escape, to write as I please. Going on long trips, vampires, and love stories are my favorite to write. My great imagination, is my strength as a writer. Being able to put into words, thoughts, that flow from my fingertips, is an amazing feeling. This class has thought me how to brainstorm ideas, before I begin to write, and that has helped a great deal, in my essay writing. Of course every writer has writers block, and I am no stranger to it. Everything Mrs.Tomas has thought us, has greatly improved my writing ability.

Everyone has an identity, and it is our identity which defines who we are and our place in society. Our identities help other people to draw conclusions about who we are, as well as, spotlight values and beliefs. Our identities have the power to positively or negatively affect how we live our lives, as well as, have the power to affect how we interact socially. Identities can be shaped and molded by the communities in which we live, the schools we attend, churches where we worship, the sports in which we participate, our race, gender, and physical features. Many of my friends, family, and acquaintances, describe my identity as being strongly influenced by my disability, my family values, and my fiercely independent nature. Prior to writing

Though I have only been at Solebury for a short period of time I feel as though I have accomplished a lot. My main accomplishment has been listening and taking to heart what everybody in the office has to offer. Everybody comes from varied and distinct backgrounds and brings something different to the table and I have tried to learn as much and take in as much information as possible. On a more technical level, since the end of October when I started, I have been able to take on a significant amount of responsibility including working multiple facets of the earnings process. I have worked on post earnings presentations for multiple clients and have done research for both our clients and their peers. In addition to the post earnings reports,

Every day I wake up determined to do more than I did the day before. My past achievements include gaining leadership skills, being on a varsity sport, and learning outside of school. I have been in tennis for eight years and on varsity for three years where I have received two awards for most improved player. My early years of high school I was apart of the backstage crew for the play, performed at my high school. I could only participate in them for two years because later I had decided to join another sport. The plays were terrible, under equipped, strange plots that were difficult to follow and there was barely an audience. I loved it. It made me feel essential, like I was helping someone who needed and depended on me. I was accepted into

A special attribute that can describe me is my large sense of determination. When I begin working towards something, I am not satisfied until I finish. However, an accomplishment that I am proud of is my self-defense skills that I learned from Tae Kwon Do. I earned my black belt before I entered middle school at Stone Bank Elementary. My sister, mother, and I joined Tae Kwon Do together but I was the only one to achieve a black belt because my mother dislocated her shoulder during class and my mother and sister stopped due to her injury but I kept thriving for the black belt. That was a big accomplishment for me. I had an amazing experience at a homeless food shelter when my church class went to Milwaukee to spend a day helping, serving,

Two of my goals that was a success we're score more than 50 goals by the end of my soccer season, and bench more then my body weight. Score more than 50 goals by the end of my indoor soccer season well that was a big success I ended the season LUSTY with 59 goals and about 20 something assist, my team really helped me out when I say it I mean it if it wasn't because of them I would´ve not made it this far. Bench more than my body weight that was another big success I bench ( 140lbs ) now, I´m proud of myself because the last month has been me putting in all work in the weight room. Everytime I step into the weight room I always say in my head today is another day of hard work I always have it in my mind i'm getting stronger and stronger

Throughout my life, I feel like I have been pretty successful. I have been able to accomplish some of my personal goals, while both being able to give back to my community and plan for my future. I hope that my with the success I have had already, will help me have an even more successful life in the future.

I have played volleyball for 4 years. I wanted to play for my school volleyball team, and I ended up joining. My coaches helped me a lot in my first year, and told me I was very skilled. They told my parents about how they should let me try out for a volleyball club. I made the team, and I have played club volleyball ever since. I am currently at Maverick Volleyball Club, and I have been playing in the All American team (the lowest team). I have been going to the open gyms at Maverick, and there are many girls who are very skilled at volleyball. They could pass beautifully, set so well, and then spike the ball down perfectly. Since this year I will be in the 14s age group, I have decided I want to train and make the
