Personal Narrative: Sally

1700 Words7 Pages

I have a sister name Sally. Sally is a loving, caring, and supportive sister. Sally is the oldest sibling in our family and she takes pride in the fact that she has helped raise us. Sally has been married to her loving husband Bob for ten years. Sally and Bob have three children Jessica who is 4, Riley who just made 6 years of age, and Solaiman who is 8. When Sally is not working her full-time job as a Medical Assistant, Sally is working to complete her bachelor’s degree. I am truly amazed that she has been able to maintain her 4.0 grade point average. When Sally is not working she tends to enjoy volunteering with the Salvation Army on the weekends and feeding the homeless at various shelters throughout Southern California.

Due to Sally’s strong belief in God, allowing people at church to hinder the relationship she has with God, is unacceptable. People will always have something to say about someone, but that is not something that can be avoided. For instance, I am pretty sure there are judgmental people at Sally’s job, or maybe at the grocery stores she visits on a regular basis, even at the gym she attends with her family. However, I am certain that Sally would not allow those types of individuals to stop her from feeding her family. Lastly, it is important for Sally to find a church that offers support instead of ridicule could be the best thing for Sally. Sally should remember that every church is not the same. If Sally takes time to look for a church home that matches her personality, but also meets the needs of her family, she will no longer have this concern. I would suggest
