Personal Narrative
There has been many things in my life that have shaped me to become the person I am today but I would say that moving for the first time after a long time from a place I have lived most of my childhood made me change in both a good and bad way. Back in 2012 when I was 15 years old I got the news that I was moving from Temecula to Bonsall and starting a new school. When my dad showed all my family and I where our new house was and everything ,I was terribly sad to know that from living in the city where everything is alive,I was going to end up in the middle of nowhere. I had to start at a new school my seventh grade year not knowing anyone and not knowing the school I was going to attend. At first I felt extremely lost and alone but after a while people started to talk to me and I felt like I kind of fit in at that new middle school I was at which was Sullivan Middle School. The following school year I didn’t really make great choices meaning I became kind of a rebel doing things I had never done like: skipping class,not going to school, and doing things that affected me both physically and mentally. I would always get suspended from school for not behaving which made me change even more then the gentle person I once use to be. I felt completely alone because my parents really never payed attention to what I would do. With my bad actions and new behavior I hoped I could get them to show they cared, but after a while I got used to having the care I wanted. At the end of my eight grade year I had got my stuff together and I graduated from middle school which made me believe that I could keep trying in school.
After I started my freshman year I met new people with bad habits and I started to go into the wrong path once again. I felt like I need to be doing bad so people would notice me and my parents would pay more attention to me because I felt like they didn’t. In most times when I would do something I was not supposed to be doing I would feel like it was the best thing I could do because it I was taking the risk to do something that was making me smile. During my entire freshman year when I was making bad choices like skipping class, not going to school ,lying about most things ,and doing things behind my parents back I felt like it was wrong but at the same time not really. Even though all that was fun and at one point it made me smile to do things by risking everything I had to learn the hard way to stop doing all that and behave ,and not be lying about things because at the end everything comes out to show. I wish I would've never had to go through what I did but things happen for a reason I must say what happen to me was a way of telling me that I had to be responsible and think twice before acting or deciding anything. Nowadays I don’t behave bad and I listen to what I’m told to do and I don’t lie about things because I feel like that's wrong and even though I can’t make time go back I would give anything so I could of learn my lesson of not behaving the way I did in a different way.
I know that with my decisions not only did I affect my life but also everyone's in my families and until this day I still get blamed and makes me feel bad but the thing is that at least I learned to not do those things no more. Also, until this day my parents worry more about me looking after me in every step I take making sure I’m okay. Thanks to the lesson I graciously learned the hard way I am the person I am today. I would say I’m more scar about life then I was before just because I fear that within the first mistake I make no matter how small it is it will destroy my life the way it did back then. No matter what happens from now on,I'll always know how to manage to stay strong any way possible and try to be the best I can be in life.
