Personal Narrative: My Fitness In The United States

104 Words1 Page

I was able to return to my normal state of working out once per day for 6 days for 2 hours per workout. I was still unable to train legs, but all other muscle groups were worked out. Also, I was still able to consume 8 or more bottles of water per day and had a consistent, well-balanced, high protein diet (no sodas or fatty foods). My overall strength improved in all areas and is now more evident (looking bigger and stronger). I failed to bench press 315 lbs., but did get one rep of 305 lbs. My weight currently sits at 182 lbs.

  • Personal Narrative: Growing Up In The United States

    Growing up in the United States from a very young age made me stray away from my Indian heritage, so in 2008, my parents saw the need to send my siblings and me to India in order to replenish the Indian culture in us.

Everything in India was just so different, convoluted and fruitless; just because I was American, I was treated differently–both negatively and positively.

  • Personal Narrative: My Pursuit Of American Dream

    My identity has always felt inextricably linked to what Miami is. A city that is teeming with immigrants, a city with dreams stacked and slopped atop each other, and a city that is living proof of the failed American dream. I say so because of my early observation that generation after generation of immigrants often seemed to stay trapped in dead end jobs; I saw this within my own family – within my grandmother, my aunts and uncles, and even my cousins. Here it was even within my own family tree the deep implicit message that there was no way out of our socioeconomic level. When I made it into an Ivy League college, it was a message that was slowly re-enforced by the fact that my demographic was the most represented in the custodial staff rather than within my own classmates.
