Personal Narrative: The Six Key Concepts

Chris Pine had once said “The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.” In keeping a positive perspective, six key concepts must be looked at. These concepts are vital in learning and will carry over to everyday life as an adult.
