Personal Narrative: Woodstock

155 Words1 Page

It’s fun to not go the way that the rest of the world is going. I enjoy forming my own way in this world, even if I do get weird looks for it. I like to be out of place, the stoic, the outcast, the weird kid. It gives me the opportunity to be as crazy as I wish and still get away with it. There is an event or style that defines every generation, but that’s not always the best thing, for example Woodstock or Y2K, and I do not want to be remembered as a part of that fad. I want to make a difference in this world and I can 't do hat if I do what everyone else does. I never planned on going with the crowd before and I never will. I will know I have broken this rule when I am not being myself so that I can fit in.

    Rebels Without a Cause Not very many people have affected me in the same way as my friend Jake Fernholz. I have never realized the influence he has had on me until someone pointed out that we talk and think the same way. I only met Jake two years ago in track, when a pulled hamstring injury caused Mr. Kellerman to have me practice with the long distance kids. Mr. Kellerman forced me into staying on the long distance team and that is where I started to hit it off with Jake. It took me a long time to be comfortable with Jake, but when I did we quickly found our common interests.

    Some of the dangers in following the majority are that you can get in trouble, you can make a wrong choice, ruin your reputation, change how others view you, and you will be the same as everyone else and you won’t be you. One of the ways you can get in trouble is that you can get in trouble with the law by drinking and getting a minor. One of ways you can make a wrong choice is that you go somewhere where you know you shouldn’t be and you something you regret in the future. You can ruin your reputation because people can look at you different if you don’t want to stand out and do your own thing.

  • Personal Narrative: An Outsider

    667 Words  | 3 Pages

    Since my fourteenth birthday my life has been a series of perfect catastrophes. An outsider would unquestionably deem my life desirable, although nonetheless average. Since fourteen I’ve appeared to have it all; and if you look the part you’re halfway there, right? I say this because people who don’t know me very well will likely describe me as “pretty, popular, and smart,” which are all great attributes to have, but the outside doesn’t always match the inside. I’m not going to tell you I was utterly miserable from the day I entered teenhood because if I did I’d be lying, and wouldn’t that be an awful way to introduce myself to the individuals who hold the power to better my life for the next four years?
