Personal Narrative: Significant Achievement In My Life

Topic One: Significant Achievement

When given such a vague topic to talk about either an experience, achievement, or risk that I have taken that has a topic to write about, I must reminisce on what I have done the past 18 years of my life. I also had to think about what has made me who I am in today and how it influenced me. After a great amount of thinking, I made up my mind. This achievement is so little, yet it made me realize my integrity and passion towards something that I desire. What I desire is digging deeper into life and seek deeper into who I have become. I would not say my achievement is the greatest; I’d rather say it was the most significant that moved me in such a powerful way. My achievement occurred in fifth grade and memorizing 182 pi digits.

All throughout middle school, I was considered one of the lower end students. I was picked on for being taken out of class because I could not concentrate and had a hard time picking up as fast as the other students. My parents always told me that I was the brightest student, even though they knew I had a learning disability at the time. I was in the IEP program all throughout elementary school. I felt like I was lacking and could never be who I wanted to be when I was older. I wanted to be a Doctor, but knew it was unrealistic because I wasn’t considered one of the smart students. I was also in a speech class because I had a stuttering issue and did not know how to explain myself or my feelings. I would wake up reminded at such a young age, that I was not like everyone else. I would live with it. Little did I know though, that I had the biggest strive to be the best I can be after being given an opportunity to see what I am made
