Personal Narrative: My Life Is Hard
Have you ever had a rough life? No? Well I have. My life has been pretty crazy these past 18 years. From my father being in prison, to my stepdad getting shot, then moving to Kentucky. Sometimes life is pretty rough. Some people have it so easy and don’t even realize it. But for me and my family it’s different. We have had it rough for a very long time. Everyone has had their ups and down but most of my life has been downs. Its been a crazy journey for me and my family but we have somehow managed to get through it all.

    My mother, “Regina Hopkins,” has been a positive influence in my life. She has raised 6 kids all by herself as well as earned a Bachelor’s degree in nursing from a City College in Gainesville, Florida. My mother has been through pretty much everything a person can go through outside of war and was still able to be there and provide for all 6 of her kids. In high school, my mother wanted to play football and couldn't because she was a girl and back-in-the-day women were not allowed to play football with the guys. However, she remained strong by raising 6 kids and independently took care of all of us on her own. My mother has several qualities that I would love to develop. The first quality she has is balance; she certainly knows how to make…

    Time is winding down and the past thirty nine weeks has been nothing short but amazing. It has been full of different emotions and feelings. From the stretching of the skin to the sudden movement I have never felt before. It was all a new experience, but the feeling was indescribable. After a restless night, the sunrise appeared before I knew it. The pain was unbearable, but after several hours and a couple of good pushes you were here. I was extremely exhausted, but the relief was absolutely amazing. At first sight I fell in love with you. Not for how you look, just for who you are. I never thought I could feel affection like this. What is this? Is this how it's assume to feel or even resemble? It's kind of insane how you, only one individual,…

    When I tell my best friend about a story about someone who went through a hard situation, he would always say, “That’s just one person, not the world.” It is so funny to discredit someone’s experience because it is not the majority, but their experience is still valid. When we watched Tough Guise or Dream World, we could have easily dismissed experiences such as the New York Parade because it was just a couple of girls and not 50% of the population, forgetting that racism, discrimination and slavery started from somewhere. It only took one person to say “That’s so gay,” before it became a popular term to use to describe something that is stupid. This experience is also true for the terminology used to put other women down, such as slut. “I…

    Every human struggles everyone has hardship. When I was young I began to notice that maybe it is hard to understand what other people struggle with. The start of a mundane life began as usual a bus ride to school, but today something else happened a flash of yellow a soundless luxury sports car zoomed bass by a Lamborghini. As the car passed by everyone looked at it with amazement as the never seen a car pass from this part of the street. I began to wonder when will I get one with imaginary job I will live the high life. The bus hits a bump on the road I am begging to rationalize who much work will it take to achieve greatness to struggle to overcome adversity.…

My stepfather, has been my father since I was 3 years old, I call him dad and my birthfather I don’t call him anything since he’s never allowed to see me again. I had one friend growing up, his name was and is Seth Garner. I met him when I was 3 years old. Out of all the kids at the school, he was the only one that I could be myself around. While he was my friend, all the other kids would make fun of me to my face or behind my back. Why would they tease me? I know that I am not like other people.

    After years of hard work and prerequisite classes, I finally received my acceptance into school. Nursing was finally within my grasps, but it felt like something was missing. After talking to friends and family, I was still in what felt like a liminal phase until I got an email. It plainly read, “Congrats on your acceptance, we knew you could do it! Let us know if we can help. Sincerely, Katie from G.B.” As succinct as the email was, I was reminded of my time in the Global Brigades. It was with that amazing group that I helped villages across Panama receive basic healthcare and other vital services. Furthermore, it reminded me of my experience tutoring and volunteering throughout my life. These experiences working with underserved communities…

    It was a perfectly normal Saturday night, until I sat on the couch. I expected to enjoy a funny movie with my dad, but instead I got a trip to the hospital. I sat on the couch, and then I felt a sting in my elbow. At first, it felt like I got a shot at the doctor, but it slowly got worse, and felt more like a knife slicing into my elbow. I winced and sprung up from the couch. I squinted and my eyes scanned the spot where I just sat down. Aha, I thought. There was a small piece of plastic, and it looked like it broke off from a container.…

    “Yay!”, I exclaimed, as I jogged across the back porch. My grandpa, or “Papa” as I christened him, had just announced that we could go out to the backyard to do yard work, which we called “Rough and Tough Stuff,” which always made me enigmatic because it struck me as enticing. I caught a whiff of Rosemary and a hint of Lavender. Papa’s chocolate labrador retriever, Buju, greeted me with a “Woof!”, and a nose as wet as a melon ball. Papa started sauntering back toward the door, slow as a snail, when I asked, “Where you going?” (I was about five years old at the time, so I did not have much knowledge of correct grammar.) “I have to get the tools,” he explained. “Don’t go into the yard while I’m gone, okay? I’ll only be…
