Personal Narrative: Sacrifice In Education
“This I Believe” Sacrifice is giving up something valued for the sake of something or someone else. Everyday around the world sacrifices are made for another human beings, education, idea, and beliefs. Sacrifice is not something you gain but something you surrender. For example, I’m very passionate about sports; I’ve been playing them since the age of 5. My junior year of high school I was forced to sacrifice my passion for my education. I was at risk of not graduation high school unless I took adult school to make up 30 credits. Has much as I cried and tried to come up with alterative ideas that did not include sacrificing what I loved, I still had to keep in mind that my education is far more important than any after school sports activities.

    Personal Narrative: Sacrifice By Chavez Scholars High School

    There is no doubt there are egotistical, self-absorbed people in today’s society. Their personal choices are made through the idea of benefiting just themselves. Now, there are charitable individuals in this world that drive, not just themselves, but everyone around them to a happier state in life, even if that means making sacrifices.

    Personal Narrative: Nature Of The Learner

    During my semester in Nature of the Learner I was placed in a second grade classroom at Johnson Street Elementary. This was a global studies school. I was very hesitant on my first day of going into the school. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but I was excited to be in the classroom because second grade was my favorite age group to work with. During this placement I assumed that I would help out the kids within the class but I didn’t. My teacher had me help out this one little guy every week. I was able to help him with his writing and math. I enjoyed doing that but that left me with about five minutes in the actual classroom to observe. During this short amount of time I would walk around the room and ask the children if they needed help.…

    Personal Narrative: What Makes A Difference In Young Life

    Christianity has always been apart of my life. My grandparents, parents and siblings are strong christians and always encouraged me to become one. When I was about four I was at a Christian camp that my family had always gone to and I decided then that I would give my life to Christ. But honestly at four years old I had only given my life to Christ because that's what everyone else did. Through my early teenage years I had lost my connection with Christ. There were so many difficult situations I was going through that Christ seemed so distant from me and what I needed. But turns out what I really needed was Christ. At the beginning of my sophomore year I began to go to Young Life, and what a difference Young Life made on my life. Young Life…
