'Pulling Through'

Often enough I ask my mind, did I leave my childhood fears behind?
I had always been the recessive one been prey to their 'harmless fun'

and vile events remain etched in me perhaps forgotten by who did the deed
Often enough I ask my mind, did I leave my childhood fears behind?

Probably my suffering made me strong but they say, to be quiet is equaly wrong
"Sissy", "Prissy", "Four-eyes", "Geek" they'd shout all day, I never dared to speak

Often enough I ask my mind, did I leave my childhood fears behind?

    Personal Narrative: A Positive Influence In My Life

    My mother, “Regina Hopkins,” has been a positive influence in my life. She has raised 6 kids all by herself as well as earned a Bachelor’s degree in nursing from a City College in Gainesville, Florida. My mother has been through pretty much everything a person can go through outside of war and was still able to be there and provide for all 6 of her kids. In high school, my mother wanted to play football and couldn't because she was a girl and back-in-the-day women were not allowed to play football with the guys. However, she remained strong by raising 6 kids and independently took care of all of us on her own. My mother has several qualities that I would love to develop. The first quality she has is balance; she certainly knows how to make…

    Years have passed by, same old stuff over and over again. Today was different though, something that I would never think that would happen to me happened.

    Personal Narrative-Recovering

    I shiver awake, my hands cold and pale. Slowly and reluctantly, I uncover my face from the grey blanket. Recovering myself from the remaining glimpses of a nightmare, I blink softly, again and again. Streaks of sunlight penetrate through the window and blind my vision. I expeditiously sit up, drag my feet off the bed, and rub my knuckles into my eyes. I stretch my arms above my head and yawn loudly. Not the slightest noise can be heard along the corridor; everyone must be either awake and at work or soundly sleeping. I watch my legs dangle above the off-white polyester carpet and observe the reddening skin along my feet. Insect bites, I hope; scratching the irritation away. In the distance I hear the ear-splitting wail of the alarm. It rings once, twice, thrice and I grind my teeth as it rings a fourth time, the ominous sound echoing through the tiny space one could call a room. It was infuriating but at least I knew it was time for me to wake up.…

    Personal Narrative: My Resiliency

    If I could work with myself, I would build on the strengths that I currently had to build my resiliency. First I would have identified the perceived problem, which was me having difficulties adjusting to my friend moving, which caused me to no longer have any friends in the neighborhood. Next, I would identify the influences that are contributing to my perceived problem. The contributing factors are coming home from school and being lonely and having no one to play with on the weekends, which reminds me of being by himself and my friend moving away. I would then identify my strengths and resources, which were being positive, flexibility, perseverance, creativity, family, and the boys and girls club. After this task, I would then integrate my…
