Personal Narrative: My Life

I began to question myself. Questions like: Do I really want to do it? If I didn’t, would I care so much about it? I was tough on myself because I wanted to make the right decision. It was in that moment I realized that I had to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. I knew that this could be challenging and hard, but it would also be rewarding and so worth-it. It turns out that I was right. To disrupt my comfort zone meant to challenge myself on a level I thought was incomparable. This entire trip and all of its challenges taught me the best way to keep growing was to surround myself with tough situations and challenging

My childhood was fun. I got to hangout with family a lot more. I would go over to friends house and play videogames. I would play hide n seek with a group of friends. Life was a lot stressful because school was easier for me and I had less responsibilities.

Before I was born, my parents went to Bryce Canyon on a vacation. They decided that they really liked the name Bryce. And so, on September 3rd, 2002, Ryan and I were born in the Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Michigan. My parents had only wanted three kids, but they ended up with five. First, they had one kid, my sister Sierra, who is now 17 years old, and almost 18. Then my parents wanted another kid, and ended up with twins, my brother Nate and my other sister Autumn. My mom and dad decided that they could handle one more kid, but they got another set of twins, my brother Ryan and me. And so, Sierra, Autumn, Nate, Ryan, and I made up the 5 chaotic kids in the Brown family. My parents named me after Bryce

The personal life analysis that I have chosen to address in this paper is an issue that I see on a daily basis at work. One of the managers of the company I work for is thought of as the typical hegemonic masculine man. In Shira Tarrant’s Book Men and Feminism it states that “Feminism explains that masculinity and femininity are things we learn to perform, not behaviors we’re born with” (Tarrant, Men and Feminism 59). By stating this Tarrant is informing the reader that this is a trait “we learn to perform” (Tarrant, Men and Feminism 59) not something that is genetic. The man at the company I work for has been a prime example as to what is done when someone in a position of control tries to make sure that all the staff members in their department are males and those males in turn are in the power positions. Tarrant informs the reader “Masculine privilege is the idea that society confers certain unearned advantages on men simply

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.

When I moved from Reston, Virginia to small town Pittsboro, North Carolina, I felt like an outsider. I had just lost some of the only friends I had ever known, a neighborhood that was lively and caring, most importantly of that traumatic experience, I had just lost a community that cared. Before I moved when I was very young, I skipped kindergarten and went straight into first grade; but not into traditional private or public school, I was homeschooled. Homeschooling gave me the comfort and freedom to explore the world and to learn at my own pace. It was a great balance, and I learned time management and planning early on, as well as a confidence in myself that hadn’t wavered, yet.

I think I had a normal life growing up. We didn’t have everything but we did have what we needed. There was no cable tv in our house until I was about 16. So basically we had four channels to choose from. My sister and I entertained ourselves reading, playing cards or playing outside. Summers were filled with playing board games with the other neighborhood kids or night time hide and seek. Most times if we were outside playing we wouldn’t even try to go into the house for fear there would be something mom wanted us to do. There were fruit trees and water hose if you got hungry. The occasional trip to the corner store for candy or chips. Even the store clerk knew your name and who your mom was, so there was no funny buisness.

I was shocked. I had never experienced something this horrific. I began to think that our life as a family would be over, due to the stress, heartbreak, and sadness our family would go through in the years to come. I went online and searched spinal defect and regretfully clicked on the images, I began to ball in the waiting room. I ran straight passed my dad and went to the restroom. I stood there looking at myself in the mirror for a while. I than began to think about how my mom would feel in this situation if I was crying she must have wanted to die. I jolted out the restroom and asked my dad what room my mom was in. He told me and I began to run towards the room, many of the nurses told me to stop running, but I ignored all of them. While

At any age is difficult to know what is your purpose in life, or what you want to do with your life; when you start growing up, and hormone start to kick in all your ideas changes and develop but nether knowing what exactly you're looking for!

    Where do we go when we have nothing on our minds? Where do we go when we go quiet? I can not be the one to tell you. My mind is always focused on the next and can never stay put. My mind is like Hong Kong (most densely populated place on Earth) during a rush hour. It’s a room full of commotion and noise that can’t find the escape door. It’s fun at times, but unbearable when all you want to do is shut yourself out from the world and relax. I can’t pay attention in my classes in school because I am thinking about all the things I have to do. I can’t enjoy my meal during lunch because I am thinking about who I should ask to recommend me for the universities I still haven’t applied to. I refuse to take naps after a long

From my own personal experience, I can tell you that before my birth, there was absolutely nothing. Human beings are arrogant in that way, because they believe that the sun rises and the earth rotates, for their enjoyment alone. I can safely say that I am no exception. I like to think that my birth foreshadows my life, because after all, it started with a big bang.

The date was October 8, 2014, 2 days after my birthday. One of the realest quotes I heard was “Don’t trust a soul” and i should have listened. It started out as any other day, mom was mad me for one reason or another, dad was sitting on the couch like always playing the “Call of Duty”. I was a Saturday so of course I tried to sleep in but my dad love playing his game with the sound on high it really out under my skin. Think about it you 're sleeping in your bed and all of a sudden you hear “POW! POW! POW!” you’re going to get pretty irritated but i was use to it. Anyways my dad had no job and if you saw him he was either over his friends house, sleep, arguing with my mom or smoking stuff I shouldn 't say right now. My

Throughout my life, I have had very many formative experiences, some good and some bad. However there are very few that stick with me today, dictating nearly everything I do. I am an avid hunter, outdoorsman, and conservationist, so one event that I can point to and say “That has had a profound impact on my life!” is the first time I went hunting. Hunting changed nearly my entire outlook on life, for the better in most cases. I feel more connected to my family, friends, nature, and most especially God.

“Next month we're are going to move to Los Altos and this house will go for rent,” my Dad said five months ago at dinner. I was shocked and quickly answered
