Personal Narrative: My Growing Up In North Carolina My Life

Being a young boy growing up in the state of Massachusetts my early years of pre-kindergarten were very rough because I knew that all the new people I would meet and all of the new friends i would make would just be a memory many years later as my 900 mile move would take them out of my life forcing me to complete my childhood all over again. Joining a new school the next year was even tougher for me because of all the ridicule given to me about not fitting in. In school I was never in the popular crowd because I was not a kid that everyone else had been a friend with for a long time and the pure face that when moving from the North to the South your dialect really stands out in a crowd of people. Looking back on my childhood I now realize
My parents after what seemed to be a happy sixteen year marriage had agreed to get a divorce. This is my opinion is the reason I have became the person I am to this day. Growing up in a household with a single parent made my life very challenge because from a young age I was taught to be very independent and do stuff for myself. The thing that kept me going was the mini weekend vacations I got to take on the weekends when I went to my dad’s house. Those my parents did not get along they still acted very civil at events and around me to make sure I was always happy in a situation known to now have very many aspects of joy. Growing up knowing that I could go about my day and not have to rely on anyone but myself made me a lot more confident in my abilities even to this day. My parents did an amazing role in providing me with everything i could ever need but many day to day challenges I had to attempted and devise new ways to conquer. A divorce between two parents always has a negative connotation but in my opinion it made me the person I am today and I am very thankful for
