Personal Narrative: Advanced Placement

350 Words2 Pages

Coming from two different cultures, I did not fully understand how to accept death seeing that one is more death affirming whereas the other is not. As I was growing up, I saw the two conflicts before my eyes, but it never impacted me in any way. However, one day after rushing my aunt to the hospital, my family and I discovered she only had two months left to live. A year later, my grandfather passed away due to a stroke. This was my first time ever dealing with death and my first time seeing my two culture clashing; consequently, with not knowing what to do, I spiraled downward in the abyss.
Later on, I signed up for Advanced Placement (AP) Psychology as my first AP class in sophomore year in hopes to explore my interest in the human mind.

    Time seemed to have stood still from all the way up there. The wobbling platform on which I was standing couldn’t have been more than a foot in diameter. Looking down, the blurred images of my peers were all that I could see. I should have been frightened out of my mind, but strangely I wasn’t. I had conquered the 25-foot climb up the telephone pole, and although I was wearing a harness, the feeling was nothing less than exhilarating.

I didn’t think I would sit down at the dining table singing happy birthday to my younger brothers and sister. I’ve struggled with depression for so long that it constantly felt like there was no point in fighting back.

    I would like to address my educational short comings. In high school, I was overwhelmed with the responsibilities of helping raise my two baby brothers with my mom. Those responsibilities included, but were not limited to: babysitting, household chores such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry; tending to the family dog, and just taking care of my own personal needs. It had gotten to the point that I had enrolled in independent study at Chico High School in fall 2010 so I could pick up a job for some extra money because funds were so tight.

    The first nine weeks has come and gone already within the blink of an eye, and time seems to be moving along at a record pace. This first nine weeks was interesting as well as difficult. It was interesting in the fact that I once more had to take different classes with nearly all new teachers, having to become accustomed to original teaching styles and their conflicting ways of grading from classes of old. Also interesting was my schedule in the way that my final class concluded at eleven forty-eight; this turned out to be a blessing. I remember one day maybe three to four weeks into the quarter when I decided to stay up late watching a football game or something, and the next day I was extraordinarily tired and felt as if I was a zombie.
