Personal Narrative Essay

“We'll keep it casual. I'll just drop by the coffee shop a couple of times a week for a visit.” “Okay. I'm not letting you do this for free. I can pay.” “No!” Luv insisted. “If you pay then we have the ethical conundrum of me being involved with my patients. This way if you're not paying and I'm not in practice then I'm just a friend helping a friend.” It seemed so ridiculous when her mother had said it, and yet here she was giving the same explanation to Rick. “Okay whatever works. As long as I

A Pause I am an introvert. I value my personal space and I need my alone time. I haven’t had much of either ever since I moved into my dorm at the University of Georgia two weeks ago. Every day has been a combination of classes, errands, and friends. This isn’t a complaint. I love the freedom and figuring out how to handle more responsibility. I love being around other people and having friends that are always up to watching something on Netflix or playing a game. But everyone needs a break. The

What makes me feel most successful? Setting a goal, working towards it, and seeing what I have hoped for become a part of my reality. Most people apply this thinking to things that considered universally important, like getting their dream job or investing and growing their money. I agree that these are important in life but I like to balance the practical things in life with the things that excite me. For me, nothing is more exciting that going fast which is why one of my most significant accomplishments

There are so many people that are special in my life but some one that stands out like the one bright star in the midnight sky is my cousin, Caeley. There are many people I would write about but since Caeley and I are the same age and create this special bond that brings us so close together. Caeley has a very humorous and generous personality that will bring a smile to all faces that come upon her. When we're in a bad situation Caeley will have something to say that brings a smile back to your

I Believe Boredom, everyone knows the feeling, everyone has experienced this in their lifetime. When you have nothing to do, no one to talk to, and just mindlessly sitting around all day waiting for something to happen. Well, I know this feeling all too well, in fact, this was me growing up. Until recently I always viewed doing nothing as a bad thing, and that’s what I was told, but now I know its not because it gives you the opportunity to think, it gives you the opportunity to know things you may

We have all experienced transformation in our lives, and this transformation is solely up to us as to whether we want to preserve and embrace that trait, or move forward towards a greater goal in life. Just like Berry (2000) detailed, I can proudly say that I have lived through the “dangers, toils, and snares” that life has thrown in my direction (p. 467). Each proposed aspiration and objective has been altered in some form or another, and fortunately for me, I have left God in charge with my future

My personal narrative, or anyone’s personal narrative, never seems to make sense to anyone who gets the opportunity to read. Of course, the reader can relate to what is written, but maybe not in the same exact way of what the writer is meaning. I’ve always been fascinated with how people think, react, or way of living, but never so fascinated with my own in the same way as other people. I like to study how someone can think a certain way that’s totally different to mine, but when I think to myself

There have been plenty of times in my life when I’ve been happy, but one is a specific period. This period was between 2001-2013 and in this period is when I was born and when my uncle died. When my uncle was alive, I had some of the happiest moments of my life. He taught a lot of things and how to be lose in life like how to not worry about everything. When he died it didn’t just affect me but my whole immediate family too. During this period he taught me to play video games and how to connect

Let us be happy “Is it difficult to be granted a wish to spend a lifetime as a happy person surrounded by the people we hold dear to our heart, mom?” I asked. She gave me a response as if I was a child who still believe in the same old happy ever after tales that is often portrayed in the media, “Of course, if that is what your heart desire. Everything is possible.” At the time I was child, who though didn't believe in tall tales anymore, believed in the spoken words of my guardian and took them
