Personal Narrative: A Single Story Of My Life

236 Words1 Page

Initially, I was going to find a single story that would perfectly describe who I am. However, that did not sit well with me. There is no single story that can accurately describe my life. My life is full the unexpected, the uncertain, the unfair, and the unceasing natural ebb and flow that comes with living; it has never been so simple to try and describe it with a simple story would be disingenuous and therefore incorrect. Life is complex and as time has passed it has grown complicated and challenging. The adversity I face is anything but simple.

  • Blythewood High School Student Analysis

    866 Words  | 4 Pages

    It would be remiss of me to try and write about the adversities I have faced as a high school student attending Blythewood High School, without first reflecting on the many blessings I have been awarded. I attend a wonderful school with some of the best teachers in South Carolina who provide quality education and the tools that I must use to succeed in any field of life. I was also fortunate enough to grow up in a nuclear household with two educated parents who were able to help me with anything that I lacked in, whether that may be hiring a tutor for me or sitting at the kitchen table late at night to help me finish my homework. The adversities that I have faced are miniscule in comparison to some of the students that I sit right next to in class, but I have had my share of difficulties too. I remember starting my freshman year at Blythewood High School thinking about all the changes that I would have to face, transitioning from Kelly Mill Middle School to this large campus in this little town of Blythewood.
