Personal Narrative Analysis
Fear is something that now everyone has, but it is something that everyone will or should experience in their life time. It is not bad to have fear about something, it’s actually normal to have fear. The time when fear caught me at my worst time was 3 years ago. A warm summer night in July, I was in my dad’s house sitting on the couch watching TV. A normal thing to do at 8 o clock. My dad comes down after a short argument which led to my brother slamming the door and getting on his longboard. I wasn’t sure what was happening at the time, but what I did know is that it wasn’t going to be a fun night for me. Daniel was 15 at the time and was doing everything wrong with his life. Not to get into detail, but doing drugs at his age was the “cool” …show more content…
I calm myself down and get some sleep. Just to wake up in a few hours with my friend’s mom telling me that my brother has gotten into a car accident and that he is in the hospital. We get in to the car with me so tired that I was oblivious to the situation that I was in. We get to the hospital and I have to sit in the waiting room to wait to go see my brother. Hours pass by and imp drinking coffee comforting my sister telling her that everything is going to be okay and that it isn’t as serious as they say it is. Sure I’m not positive of the situation but I would like to believe the same thing. My doctor comes and tells my dad that we can go see him. I tell the doctor that I want to be the first person to see him bit instead they make sure that my dad is okay with it. I go in the room to see my brother in the worst position that I have ever seen him in scared that he might not make it out. Fearing that my brother is going to die. Weeks go past my brother is sitting in the same bed in a medically induced coma and cannot speak to me. I sit there hold his hand and tell him everything that I have been doing that I’m playing football and I’m going to dominate. I know that he can’t hear me but he squeezes my hand which makes me cry. I never knew that my brother ever meant so much to me until that moment. A few weeks pass and my brother is able to talk I tell him constantly that I love him and that if he passes away that I’m not going to be able to live much longer. He pulls through everything within a month. The fastest recover the doctors have ever seen from an accident this bad. So what is fear? Fear is something that you know is there but you want to avoid. Fear is something that regardless of what you think you have it. You may not know what fear means to you, but my worst fear is losing the one

    Fear can stop us from doing things that we as a person are afraid, something dangerous for example brian fears not being able to go back home and fears being isolated after the plane crash, part of that fear that comes from the fact that he’s totally on his own with no one to lean on whom he can advice too and no one whose advice he can ask no one with whom he can share his fears.…

    Fear is so unique and personalized to one self yet it is one common trait between all individuals. When I think of fear, I think of my future. I fear bringing shame to my family; I fear my superiors repudiating my resume to a college, I fear not achieving my goals, I fear for my parents not able to provide, not because they don’t want to but because they are unable to. I fear the future because it is unknown. To go through something where I don’t know the next step is to, leave my world, my connections to people and depend on only myself and ideas. Ideas like faith, hope, destiny and love. My heart pressured and heavy; the stability removed from my body leaving trembling hand and legs, acute hearing and sight because everything is paradox in my…

Giving me the chance to come the U.S was the greatest gift that my parent has ever given me in my life.

    As I was writing my personal narrative for my composition 1 class, it easily made my mind boggle. After I had got started on my personal narrative, it was easy for me to keep writing and keep following along the story line. The main strength of mine that the essay played to was my creativity and my flexibility for different writings, because I have never written an essay as serious and sad as this one, but I did have to add my happy ending when I finished the story. I wanted it to be very attention grabbing with a twist, but I also wanted it to be very emotional.…

    I remember a few months after I settled into Shanghai, my mother took me to a ballet class. Back when I lived in Australia, I adored my dance classes, so when I found out I was overjoyed. As we headed to the studio, I had on a leotard that a parent from Australia had made for me. It was a gorgeous rose pink and its nylon fabric reflected against the light, with that a smooth, lightweight chiffon skirt wrapped around my waist, below, typical ballerina tights. I steadily walked into the class in my itty- bitty ballet shoes. As the class began, I was nervous but yet a part of me was also excited. The class was utterly amazing; the room was filled with plies, tondus and grand battements. We crossed the room with jetes, a move that made me feel…

Experiences like these are the ones that gave me an extra sense of maturity and also helped me grow to be a better person overall.…

    Starting from a place I remembered as a teen, moving from a place that was warm to a place that had all four seasons; such as winter, spring, summer and fall. The First place that I grew up was surrounded by mountains. During the winter it was full of white snow, something that I was never used to seeing coming from California where all one would see was sandy beaches and the waves clasping one another. As I remember being so new to Park City, UT all I could see was the wonderful views of trees, mountains and people skiing or snowboarding. I have to say this was a fond memory because for the firs time I was actually able to experience the feeling of what winter was…

    Like most, my Fifth grade year was supposed to be awesome; it was the last year before I was finally able to go to Ben Franklin, the giant School whose football and baseball fields I had played on for years, just waiting for the time I could show I was good enough to play for their City Championship teams. But when I look back on that year that had so much promise, it didn’t go as I had thought, and ended up being one of the hardest of my life, both mentally and physically.…

    In a soccer, regional game during my freshman year, one of our top players got injured at the beginning of the game. Our team had worked extremely hard all season to win this game, and when he fell down and injured himself – I thought it was over. As he was being “helped off” the field by an athletic trainer, our team decided to huddle around him. All of a sudden and without hesitation or regard for his injuries, he began to offer us some words of advice. "Nothing has changed, and you guys have the next 80 minutes to show these guys that we are destined to win this game.” It was at this very point that I decided, as mere freshman, to “step up” and to offer my leadership skills to my team.…

    I’ve always had one perspective when it came to sexual intercourse, it was wrong. Perhaps my mother managed to drill into my head that it was a horrible, shameful thing, or maybe I just taught myself that it was a disrespectful, dirty thing to do to yours and another’s body. I can’t honestly say I know why I started thinking this way about it, but what I do know is that it simply seemed like something that just wasn’t for me. I never really argued myself on it, and I never really thought about it. Although it was still an extremely “hot” topic while I was in junior high, I chose to listen to those conversations instead of becoming one of those conversations. It was pretty easy to avoid it all in junior high, easy enough actually. People seemed more persistent while I was in high school, but I always managed to find some way to get them to give up in the end. Friends and peers were the easy ones to get rid of. My real problem came from someone I least expected. My very own cousin.…

    I suppose you are wondering why I am speaking of fear as an educational topic. To begin we will have to take a trip back in time. August of 2003 was an exciting and fearful time in my life. The months to come would be uncertain and frightful. My, now, husband was graduating high school and our future was coming at us fast. I was certain in my career path of nursing. My husband, on the other hand, was undecided. We had already been together for two years. I knew I would marry that man. We were planning our lives together at the young ages 18 and 20.…
