Personal Narrative: My Path To Personal Success

1439 Words6 Pages

But I never thought of breaking my friendship with any of these top students even after facing such small cruelties. We are all still friends! All I wanted to do was to improve myself and be someone like them. An intelligent, perfectionist and a winner! And let me tell you once I set my mind to anything I most certainly can get it done. Today I rarely find a well read or a well turned out person than myself. And I am proud of it because I worked very hard to be this person. And if I do find an accomplished, well read, articulate, and master of his / her field who remind me of my mom, dad or grandmother in anyway, I still get transformed into this ‘fan person’. So you can safely say I still think of myself as a loser! I had to work really hard …show more content…

But I think it is better to be of average success in all scenarios of life than to top a field say professional and fail at life itself. But till the end I am going to try to top in all aspects of my life professional, personal and …show more content…

Started receiving small wins third in a drawing competition, consolation prize in elocution etc. But slowly my confidence rose. If I did not win it did not matter but I started giving everything my 200%. Especially because I loved practicing with my mom. She had so much to do but I would follow her around from her chore to chore, reciting or reading aloud. I won many accolades in my school as I progressed drawing, elocution, debates, sports anything and everything. By the 8th standardard I had established myself as an all-rounder. Very popular, captain of my sports team, I have also won many prizes for my school in interschool competitions which really made me very popular and sought out. But nothing stellar academically was still happening. But I had developed this belief by then. I knew nothing was as hard it looks, it only needed persistent practice. In my final years I was head girl of my school! I think common things between all people who consider themselves as loser is that they are extra sensitive and emotionally delicate. Small nothings seem like big defeats or failures to them. It breaks there heart completely. If anyone can get over failure they can be successful. Success is not final, failure is not fatal or forever. It is the courage to continue that

    Young quotes Donald L. Nathanson, author of the book Shame and Pride, when he says, “If you’re calling someone that [a loser], the person must live in a perpetual state of shame. The only way he can live with himself is to have massive denial, disavowal of his real identity. He has to make his way in the world somehow, and he can’t walk around constantly thinking of himself as a loser. Yet if someone in our eyes is a loser and he refuses to admit it, this is narcissism. He has an identity that can’t be sustained by consensual validation” (7).

    Failure is an opportunity for some to improve and build upon themselves so they have a better chance to succeed in the future. My junior year at Western Branch was an exciting one with a lot of surprises and disappointments. That year my track team came close to winning the state championship, but with a lot bad performances by the team, myself included, we were not able to overcome the competition. It was an even greater blow when the girls’ side of the team won, despite the boys’ team having more naturally talented athletes. The work that we put in during the summer, fall, and winter felt like it was for nothing more than to lose some weight and get in shape.

    I have chosen to take any negative experiences as future motivation to succeed. This has helped me to better appreciate not only the joy of winning, but also the hard work and devotion that goes into it. By doing this I am able to make more confident choices, accept the ideas of others, and inspire my peers to see the important opportunities that coincide with "failure" as well. Every day we are affected by actions, both our own and by those of others. It is how a person chooses to react to these actions (whether they are considered to be a success or failure) that reveals and shapes true

Failure is hard, whether it is a bad grade, not getting into your dream college, or from my personal experience; not getting the job I spent weeks anticipating and preparing for.
