Personal Narrative: Homeless People, Deaf People
When someone looks at me, they see one thing; I see another. In my mind I want to help people, but in a way that is behind the scenes and not the whole world knows about. They see a shy little girl, but I see a girl who wants to change the world. Although, it may be a little complicated for me change the world when I do not exactly have the best motivation. I have insecurities that may or may not always show on the outside, and anxiety that overtakes my mind when exciting or scaring events take place.
Something that has always been a characteristic of mine is my heart for people. My biggest dreams are to help people: children, homeless people, deaf people, and starving people in other countries. I want to be the help in their storm

I realize how great people in the world most likely thought the same thing but never let that stop them. Thinking of things I would like to accomplish in my lifetime and then flushing them over my shoulder because I tell myself it could never be possible. I constantly tell people around me to never give up and to keep pushing through, but I cannot even push myself. Growing up in public school, I was always the different kid. I got a new nickname every week. Through my lifetime, I would get knocked down mentally and always seemed to find a way to pick myself up just for the little time I had until I got knocked down again. These moments as a child affected my hope and perseverance now as a teenager. Everyone in the universe is born with good qualities and the bad ones that I wish I did not have anymore. I love to help people and have the ambition to help as many people as possible in my lifetime, but there are things I wish would just diminish. Dreaming takes hope and motivation, two things of which I do not have the best of. I know deep in my mind and heart that not one person is perfect, but I want to contain and try to improve the things I do not like about myself. This way I can grow as a person and make a difference no matter what qualities I

    I decided this summer, to use the free time for painting a comic. The protagonist of this comic, I determined, was a homeless person of color living in NYC. Notwithstanding I have been always especially active in my community, and have volunteered in several programs that benefit homeless people of color and LGBTQ, the research I made about homeless people in NY was an eye opener.…

    Last semester, in American Sign Language 2010, my class got assigned a book report project. I with two other partners, choose a book entitled “The Art of Being Deaf: A Memoir,” by Donna McDonald. My professor told us we were to pick one quote from the entire book that stood out to us. I chose an excerpt from the end of the book, on the grounds that, it was the section that focused on reflection and understanding. The excerpt goes “My life had been pitted here with deep sadness and lifted there with joy, but it had been mostly held stable by the grist of daily routines.”…

    Memoir: The Homeless

    The moment I looked out the window of the car and my eyes turned to the row of homeless people weaving its way through the traffic begging for money, I jumped out of my seat. It was my first visit to India after leaving the country for the United States. The homeless people's’ hands were making weird gestures and thumping the windows of the honking cars. I could not digest what I was seeing! While reaching out to an old woman to give her some money, I thought about what non homeless people could do to help those without a home and basic needs. Then, I asked myself a question. Why not give them something that will be with them forever and help them out of their poverty and teach them valuable skills? After all, a mountain of…

    About 2 hours later, my family finally realized that I was missing. They searched for me for the rest of the day! Mom looked all through the house, while Dad and my sister looked elsewhere. The hunt went on for another thirty minutes, and then they got tired and took a break. I spent those two and a half hours sitting on the swing in the backyard with a book in my paw, because I couldn’t figure out how to get down. However, drow spells are only temporary, because they don’t usually need much time to put anyone in chains. By the end of the day, I was turned back into my human form. When my family resumed the search, I situated myself on my bed and started reading. They never did find out that I was that stray…

    I celebrated my first birthday in a women’s homeless shelter. While living in a homeless shelter may seem like a point of shame, it has actually become a central point of pride in my identity. It has had this opposite effect largely thanks to a stranger’s seemingly insignificant photograph of me in my mother’s arms on my first birthday: a photograph that has profoundly influenced my worldview. Since the fateful day that my mother discussed our humble origins and shared the photograph with me, it has served as an important reminder of my background and as a source of inspiration and resolve.…

    One of my favorite quotes by Walt Disney is “If you can dream it, you can do it.” I believe that if you want to accomplish something in life, then with a little determination, you can accomplish your dream. For example, I love going to the gym and working out. Once I get there I always have a mindset on what I want to accomplish and I never leave until I accomplish my goal. Whenever I have a dream, I’m very persistent on making that dream come true. When I’m older I dream of becoming a Nurse Anesthetist. Once I graduate high school and go to college, I will never stop working hard until I achieve my life long dream in pursing my career.…

    The person I would like to become is a person who has more confidence in herself. From what I have found by doing this project, I do not have much confidence. I will personally say I do not find many good things about myself that others say are good. People say that I have a good life and I look back at them and wonder what is life without a strong realization in who you really are. The person I want to become is a person that can go up to someone and tell them exactly what is on their mind.…

I’m sure you have dreams like these, well, not precisely, but I’m sure you will have dreams. Anyway, most of the times we see that people hesitate to become what they want to be and often give up on their first or second try. Why do they give up?
