Personal Narrative: I Had To Join High School

601 Words3 Pages

From the time when I was a kid, I grew up facing various problems. I grew up in a family that was not very financially stable. My parents struggled to pay school fees for me and my siblings. I could see my parents work tirelessly day and nights, taking shifts and having different jobs to see us through. Fortunately, we made it through grade school. The biggest challenge came where we had to join high school. As compared to grade school, the school fee was higher.

    As a child, I was always told to dream big by my mother, father, and many others. Nonetheless, living with my mother, stepfather, and siblings in San Jose, there was constantly fighting, moving around, and fear from within, as well as the outside world. I always struggled in school but didn’t think much of it, considering both parents and older siblings were high school dropouts but weren’t in disastrous situations. Towards the end of elementary school, I refused to go to school because of my social phobia, as well as the fact that I would be bullied because of my speech impediment. Near the end of my seventh grade, I went to Modesto with my dad every weekend and found the different environment to be very calming, thus when the time came for him to bring me back home, I would cry in the car and beg to be taken back to Modesto.

  • How My Family Changed My Life

    I grew up in a big, caring and optimistic family. Even though every day was a struggle for my parents and my siblings, I never usually faced a tough situation without them until the day I saw how deprived my parents have become from having so much stress about the money we did not have. Ever since that day I began to lack self-confidence and I actually thought of myself unworthy of doing anything and never thought of myself of anything higher than being ugly to the world. It was this lack of confidence that led to my growth into an empowering individual with big goals and a high growth mindset. My family and I went through a lot of horrid situations and still manage to smile and have our moments and beat our economic stress with the love we have as a family.
