Autobiographical Narrative

Often in our lives, things happen to us that change us for either the better or the worse. When things happen and they change us for the better we can make our lives great but if something happens for the worse it can cause us to change in a way that our lives go wrong. Once something goes wrong, there’s always a way to fix what we have witnessed. If you lose a family member and it causes you to fall down in life and you start to drink and do drugs to get rid of the pain.

    For my memoir essay, my initial critiques were that it was not as personal as some would have liked. The readers wanted to be more immersed in my story of “growing up”--to get a glimpse into exactly how my experiences have shaped the person I am today.

These people include my dance team, high school friends whom I haven’t seen since I graduated from high school, and current and previous love interests.

I started yelling at my father, which I have never done before in my whole life, telling him that it is not my mom’s fault she had nothing to do with it. He obviously did not like the fact I yelled at him so we started arguing. I finally then had enough after we argued for so long and told him how I have actually been feeling. Basically that he is never around anymore to begin with that if anything happens he should not even care nor get involved because it just causes more problems.
