Personal Narrative: My Struggle
Everyone struggles at one time or another. Some people struggle more than others. In 2011 my family lost our home and had to stay with our family members and friends. The times were hard, but the person I became because of this struggle knows the value of something so small. Through the hard times I found a way to get back on track.
Freshman year was rocky from the start. After losing our home and moving in with family, we had to overcome the most difficult circumstance to date.

    Personal Narrative: My Path

    Most teenagers do not have a clue about what they want to be when they grow up. Most young adults also do not know where their path is in life. Even some full-blown adults are still trying to figure out their purpose. I was lucky. I knew exactly where I belonged from about the time I was seven up until now, at the decently young age of nineteen. I do not see my path changing anytime soon; in fact, I know it will never change.

Being able to participate in high school sports just makes the experience all the better and going to homecoming and formal was a blast. No worries besides school and what you were going to do that weekend with your friends. Being able to drive anywhere you pleased made you feel all the more free.…
