Personal Narrative : My Life Story

There were many people in my life that got me to who I am today. My family and friends were the main people that influenced who I am. There were many events that influenced me but the most recent one is picking early college.

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

My personal memoir is going to be about when I moved here in Homedale, Idaho. When I was 6 I moved to Homedale and I was going to start 2nd Grade. When I got dropped off by my parents I went to the playground. When I was young I used to never speak to anyone because I was so shy and scared. When I got there a kid named Oscar came up to me and asked me what is your name, for a few seconds I stood there saying nothing and finally I said my name Osue. There were one of his friends that I remember, there was Antonio, but that wasn’t the first time I have seen Antonio because the house we moved into I went outside threw rocks and so did he but when I backed up and went forward etc. he copied me. I When we went I she Ms. Garrett was welcoming us

I believe you can achieve anything you want in life with hard work, dedication, and passion. There are many experiences I have gone through that have helped shaped who I am today. I may not have control over certain situations, but I have a choice on how it affects me.

There was very many trials and events during this time, so much so I could write a book so this is really only the tip of the tip of the iceburg.

I was very tired, I left my house at about 6 am on Saturday morning and had been coaching all day under the sun, it is not uncommon for me to miss an exit or take the wrong exit when I’m feeling that tired. Besides that fact if I kept on going north I could have stayed at my sister’s house who lives in Belleville NJ.

As a child who has grown up moving around several times, I believe it has shaped me to find out who I am. It has encouraged myself to find out who I am and try new things. When I was younger I was extremely reserved but meeting new people as I moved schools forced me to branch out and become the individual I am today. One of my strongest passions is succeeding, but to succeed I've come to realize you have to fail. As a typical child figuring out what I love to do, I trial and error with almost every sport you could think of soccer, basketball, softball, gymnastics. In middle school I was in sports and also band, but I came to realize academics is one of the things I love to succeed in the most, it gives me a rush of happiness when I'm doing

Since early childhood, I have been focused on improving my life despite the many difficult physical challenges I have endured. Thus, my struggles and journey have become the story of my success, ultimately leading me to pursue as a leader through a health care profession. I was born and grew up in the small village of Alamata, Ethiopia. I lost the use of my legs when I was one-year-old. My aunt was climbing a tree with me on her back when I fell to the ground. My father was seriously ill at the time of my fall, so that his care became the family's medical priority. I got no medical care after my fall. The belief was that if I did not live, my father would be able to father another son when he got well. My father did regain his good health,

In this journey we call life there are several examples in my personal life where the only way to cope was to overcome and rise above. The one particular example I would like to share involves my decision to return to school to earn a degree I have sought unsuccessfully for many years. As stated by Harrington (2012) resilience is overcoming obstacles to achieve the end goal, which in my situation will be earning my degree. Harrington (2012) list key elements to assist with providing resilience there are two that are and continue to provide me the ability to overcome the obstacles to become successful, family and physical elements.

About a year ago I was the type of person who didn't care about school, and never thought it was important. What I didn't know was that your education and collage could decide your future. I had always struggled with learning because of my ADHD, i could never pay attention, and to this day I have attention issues. But I thought maybe I could change that so that I could be better and more educated, maybe I could actually feel smart. Thats when I got to work, i knew right then and there I wanted to go to Stanford with an academic and athletic scholarship! I wanted to be in the Oklahoma swimming all-star team, and I wanted to be one of the smartest and organized kids in the school!

I really had trouble finding a topic that I thought would inspire readers or keep their attention. I reviewed the information from unit one several times before picking my topic. The topic that I chose was a scary situation for me that took place this year and felt that readers needed to know how these types of incidents can happen and how often they happen around the world. I felt like my story alone could not make the paper requirements and may need to revise several areas where I stated outside information even though I felt it to be very important information and relevant to my personal story. As I was writing my story I felt like I did a good job and had a successful paper, until I reviewed unit three’s lecture and lecture review, where

Everyone in this world has been affected by at least one person, event, and group which makes them who they are today. Throughout the fifteen years I've been on this earth I've constantly have been undergoing constant change. To this day I'm still changing in someway and I will always be changing physically and mentally. One phase in my life I remember a whole lot was when I was around twelve or thirteen years ago not quite long ago actually. During that time I had serious anger issues and I was very unstable every little thing would bug me and I would freak out violently. My mom seeked for help and this is where I met my therapist who help me change my life for the better without her I would probably be one of the rudest people that someone

I scrambled up on the rock. The deer was standing down below feeding in the tall grass.

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

I long to be free. To be free from the metal chains that hold me down. To be free from the whispering as I descend into my empty slumber. My heart couldn’t handle the pain of the immortal whispers and figures that popped up here and there trying to help or drag me with them.
