Personal Narrative: My Adoption That Changed My Life

331 Words2 Pages

I was adopted the summer before fourth grade. I went to a school that wasn 't as good as East Lansing they didn 't really care if we did our homework or not, so I never had to do it my mom didn 't check to see if I even had homework. After I was adopted I started going to Pinecrest. Right when I got to my class I could tell it was going to be harder than my previous school. My adoptive mom helped me get used to the environment of the new school. While I was in second grade I learned that school was only going to get harder and that but my mom helped get used to it. Before I was adopted no one cared if I did my homework or not. I would just go home and play and do whatever I wanted to do. Then i was adopted, when summer ended and school

  • Personal Narrative: My Life As An Interracial Adoption

    539 Words  | 3 Pages

    Mistakes are one of the most common occurrences of human nature, and I felt I was the living embodiment of an unwanted one. I was born a traveler. Four months into my life, I had embarked on a journey that consisted of over 6,300 miles to an unfamiliar home after being abandoned by my birth parents at infancy. Going against convention, I was not raised in a culture of blood; the links which connect me to others are not based in biology, but in relationship. Despite the fact that living as an interracial adoptee is all I have ever known, I have spent an overwhelming amount of time continuously speculating about my biological family in Seoul, what my life would have been had I been raised there, where I would be now had I been adopted by a different family.

Needless to say, I had my own homework as well, and I was already very frustrated. As I was working on my homework, I would remember that again, I had to cook dinner because making my grandma cook would be a very regrettable decision. So I cooked dinner, cleaned the kitchen, washed the dishes, and tidied up the house a little bit like my mom does.
