Personal Narrative: My Journey Back To America
I believe I began to mature during my trip back to the place I used to call home during my sevenths grade summer vacation. I remember on that day we were heading to visit my uncle. My father was driving, my brother was playing in his new portable handheld device, my sister was on her phone, and I was just watching the terrain pass by. Everyone was great, except for the fact that I would have rather been back home in America.
My brother’s gaming device ran out battery so he started to look out the window with me. My brother then noticed two kids playing on the street naked with just their underwear on. My brother started to laugh as we passed them because he thought they were being stupid. My brother did not know why they the kids were naked,

    Personal Narrative: My Coming To America

    Leaving your country is always a difficult decision, and whoever has experienced it understands the sacrifice it entails. When I left Poland at 18, I thought I was going to be in paradise, but to my disappointment it was far from that. I had to learn a new language and work hard to provide for myself. What kept me motivated was the hope for a better future and an independent life.…

    Personal Narrative: Moving To The US

    One of the decisions I have made, and it has changed my life enormously ever since, is when I decided to move to the U.S to complete my bachelor degree. I became a different person. A person whose reasoning and rational thinking has developed and thrived rapidly everyday living in different surroundings and conditions. However, I will admit that when I made my decision, I thought, it would be nice and easy to study aboard. The idea of being responsible of everything in my life and completely free to do whatever I want without my parents watching over my head to make sure I’m doing right had not crossed my mind before that time, and that how is my life hasn’t been the same long…

    Personal Narrative: My Journey To America

    Let me start off with my mother's journey to America. It was 1985 when her parents decided it was time for a fresh start. It was very difficult to come to America legally, so they made their journey by traveling to other countries. They left Cuba and traveled to Spain where my grandfather found a job as a farmer. They lived in Spain for almost 2 years before they gathered enough resources to travel to Mexico. The journey from Mexico to the USA was very easy for them because they had a family member who knew their way around. They struggled for many years in America but soon became legal citizens. My mother later on went to college and completed her bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Miami. My grandparents purchased the…

    Personal Narrative: Coming To America

    America, land of the free and home of the brave, a country strengthened with rights, equality, and justice. For Americans it’s just a regular country, with regular rules and laws, nothing special about it. Although, to immigrants it’s a country to reinterpret their lives, a better life, a life where they’re free to pursue their happiness and follow their dreams. Even though America is a great country, adjusting to a new culture isn’t easy. It took patience, support, understanding, and passion in order for me to balance two different cultures.…

    Personal Narrative: Moving To America

    One day nearly two years ago, I came back from the worst trip and experience ever in my life. Three years ago, my family made the biggest decision of our lifetime together and we had decided to move. Now the fact that we were moving didn’t bother me or my little sister, it was just the simple fact that we were moving from our home that we had grown up in our entire life. The only problem was the fact that we had eventually found out that we were going to move to Oregon. This Alabama home that we grew up in was very special to me and my sister but it wasn’t the one of best of places. We had lived right beside our grandparents and we loved to go up the hill and see them and us moving had rendered that possibility from happening any longer.…

    Personal Narrative: My Immigration To America

    In 2014 I came to America to study. It had been the first time I ever traveled somewhere without my parents and it was a much farther distance than I had ever traveled before. My English wasn't the best and I wasn't sure of how I would handle American customs and culture. When my student visa was approved I was very excited and very nervous, it was a big moment for me. When the time came I boarded my plane and made the journey to America. My time here has been very hard but also very fortunate for me. I have been able to study just like I had planned and I have been able to live in several different states which I am very grateful for. Over time I have been able to improve my English, thus giving me the ability to have a proper conversation with someone I may have met on a random day at the store or during my time in class.…

    Personal Narrative: The American Identity

    Samuel, I really enjoyed your post as I like hearing about other people’s family history since mine is so diverse. With your skin tone, eyes, and hair I can see why someone may say you look Hispanic. At least you take it in stride. Today, too many people get offended when someone calls them the wrong race or ethnic origin. It is really good that you continue your family’s tradition of cooking Greek and Italian dishes and I hope your children continue that. My family has been in this country so long and has so many nationalities in the mix that we have Southern traditions instead of a specific country. I do enjoy researching my family’s history. I do not have anyone famous in my family so far, but my great-great grandfather, Private John Henry Gwathney, did manage to survive the Civil War while serving under General Nathan Bedford Forrest.…
