    Personal Narrative: My Experience I Paid During My First Year Of School

    An experience that makes me proud during my first year of school was failing. It was a wake-up call, a realization that I could overcome a difficult obstacle due to the mistakes I had made. Therefore, I dedicated all my time to make-up all the classes I received low grades in. I pushed myself to persevere and not become a high school drop-out; I refused to be labeled a failure. I worked twice as hard in the classes I had received low grades; so when I was taking them again I would pass with a better grade I would be satisfied with. I managed my time efficiently to give myself enough time for each class and receive help when I asked certain teachers who offered tutoring. I took advantage of all extra credit assignments when offered, I believed…

    My first semester of high school math, failed. All I wanted to do was sit down and admit defeat, nothing I could do could save me from continuing to tumble down from this spot.

That night I talked to my parents about getting a tutor to help me in my grades. Both of them happily agreed and I started getting tutored.

    “Graduation, the hush-hush magic time of frills and gifts and congratulations and diplomas.” You weren’t lying when you said that Maya Angelou. May 19th, 2013 I had dreamt of that day for almost four years. I know I can’t be the only person who feel this way. I remember it as if it was just yesterday. So many different emotions going through my mind all at once. Happiness, Sadness, I felt relieved because it was almost over but at the same time I felt anxious and overly excited to just leave and go far away. 389 seniors were going to walk across the stage and receive their diplomas. After all, our class had the biggest percentage of graduates who were actually…

    College Admissions Essay: Math Problems In High School

    I was failing eighth-grade math. My last two test scores were devastating and were helping to ruin my math grade. The tests were difficult, but definitely passable. Most times I would think that I knew the material, only to miss half of the questions on the big test. I was also skipping homework assignments. I didn't know the answers, and I wouldn't even try to learn. Even when I studied for hours, I would still fail the work and have the terrible feeling of truly being lost on how to recover. Although grade was downright horrible, and it was going to drop even more, I soon found an unlikely candidate that would turn my school life around.…

    Throughout my life thus far, I have ultimately learned from experience that everything happens for a reason, a sole reason that has shaped my journey to contribute to my greater-good. This reason is intuitive, not to be specifically named but to be subconsciously present within the unlimited boundaries of my mind. Recently, I have faced the most defining moment in my entire life, and the early process of reasoning for this event is left for me to belabor.…

    Personal Narrative: The Special Recipe

    The smell of fresh baked cookies and homemade buns rolled through the air. At that moment when I walked in my grandma’s house I knew she was making cookies and her homemade buns. Which were the best things in the world and will always be the best thing in the world. Ever since I was a little boy and I used to go my grandma’s for daycare she would make cookies and buns for my brother and I all the time. We would come home from school and go to her house until my parents were done with work.

Almost every time she would have us help her with some things around her house and always said…

    Personal Narrative: A Personal Essay

    Being the son of two immigrants in America, I never felt that I was a true “American” or a true “Indian.” Being brought to America at six months of age, I never got to experience the culture that my parents had been raised in. I was living two lifestyles, half day American and the second half, when I got home from school, I lived an Indian lifestyle. At home, I spoke Hindi but at school, I was being taught a whole new language, English. Having these differences I did not realize how unique I was; I realized that many of my friends cannot fluently speak another language; speaking in Hindi and not having to worry if someone was gonna hear me was a hidden benefit I never realized I had. Being even partially part of two cultures gave me different experiences that just one culture would not have. Some people take their differences as a negative thing; I, on the other hand, have…

    Personal Narrative Example

    You can call it following in footsteps or walking the same path, but I don’t see it like that. My grandmother calls her daughter, mother calls her sister, and I call her Aunty. She has always been my figure to look up to. She has inspired me to be the person who I truly want to be. My Aunt Marie is a strong, beautiful, and successful woman who, in spite of her work, has always been there for me when it counts in my life. I want to not only follow in her line of work, but I want to have her strength, love, and poise during everything. She is my hero, my guiding light, a woman who has taught me to stay true to myself and become the person I want to be.…
