a special moment in my life...narrative essay
It was August 20, 2011 when I received a letter that would change my life. the problem was how to communicate to my mama. I spent the entire day with some of my friends asking them for advises, though there was only one possible way… to talk with her. When I coming in to my house my mama and sister were watching television as they usually did. In that precisely moment my heart started to accelerate like wanted to escape from my chest, my face was white and my ears were hot. I took a deep brief and I said, “mother I need to talk with you in private,” she answered to me: “let’s go to your bedroom.” We kept in silence while we walked on the upstairs to the second floor where my room was; the door was locked and I tried to put the key inside of the lock door three times, but the key slipped from my trembling hands; finally, my mom unlocked the door. She looked directly to my eyes with their dilated pupils and she asked me, “Are you pregnant,” I immediately answered to her: “No I do not!” She fell down on the bed and breathed as she was alleviated of a terrible anguish. After that, she asked me what happened to me; I told her that I had gotten married. She laughed for a moment because she believed that I was playing a joke; she did not know anything about my boyfriend because he lived in the United Stated and I lived in El Salvador, we met when he visited his father in El Salvador and the most of time we just keeping in contact by phone or e-mail. My romance was extremely secret because my family wanted a different husband for me and I did not want to have conflict with them. I know they were able to do everything to separate me from him because they did the same thing with my youngest sister.
I expected that my mama was angry and yelled me; on the contrary, she remained silent. I added that in the morning I had received a notification from the U.S. embassy about my admission to the United Stated, so I was leave my country the next month. She

I love my mother, Hester, with all my heart. I remember as a child, being fascinated with the letter A on her bosom. When I was young I was confused about the situation between my parents. I lashed out in anger towards my mother my throwing prickly burrs at her bosom. In doing so, I added to her already thriving pain and guilt. As I grew up and moved away, my mother decided to continue to live in her tiny cottage in Massachusetts. I sent her gifts from England so she can live in luxury as well. I loved her, and she knew she would always be welcome to come live with me in England at any point throughout her life.…

    I felt this sense of fear, but I knew it was just nervousness. It caused my whole body to tremble. I creeped onto the field and pass by the fifty girls and all of the coaches. Just me walking by everyone gave me this ginormous knot in my stomach, it made me feel like I was going to pass out right on the field. I was breathing heavy, like I just ran a marathon. I was beyond nervous just to be the new girl on the field. I was scared of what the girls thought of me, and how the coaches thought I would play and adapt to the sport. I had never even picked up a lacrosse stick and the girls were passing, catching and shooting on goal: how does a new player get to there if they were two week late into the season? I was terrified I would never get to the level of the rest of the team.…

    I closed my eyes and as I opened them I was looking straight at my mother. That instant our eyes were locked I never wanted the lock to break. Another tear slipped down, and I could taste the salty warmth on my tongue. The crash took five seconds but it felt like ten years. This time I heard the words “I’m wrong mom. I’m sorry mom.” In an instant the noise grew so loud it seemed like I was standing in the middle of a nuclear bomb. Not a second later it was silent and the world around me went pitch…

    A big event that has changed my life was when my older brother moved away to go to the navy. This changed my life cause I did not know if I was ever going to see him again. When he told me he was leaving and not going to be back for awhile i thought he was leaving because of me, I was a little brat back then so yeah and at the age i was i thought everything was my fault. The day my brother left was probably the saddest thing to ever happen because me and him would always hang out and play video games or walk around town or do something fun. I remember when we dropped him off at the airport i was clinched on to his leg and i was refusing to let go because I didn’t want him to leave. Now that i look back on it i think one of the reasons why i didn’t want him to leave is because he was kinda like my best friend/ role model so yeah and well he is my older brother and I didn’t want anything to happen to him.…
