Analysis of the Personal Legend
Francesa Larkin
Personal Legend paper
What am I good at? What am I good at? The question swirled around my head as I stared at the lake it seemed so endless. It went on and on until it fitted into the sky. in that moment I felt like a body of water myself, I needed to find my path in life or just as the lake I would fade away I sat hopelessly feeling alone in the world I looked up to the star filled sky asking for some sort of sign or direction. In my peripheral I saw someone walking. I would love to see a homeless man. I watched as he unpacked his torn bag. He took out a small plastic sheet and ratty cover. A melancholy look covered his face. I felt so bad here I was complain about myself yet there are people in the world that truly have nothing and get ignored. I reached into my purse to find the sandwich I packed but neglected to eat. I pulled it out along with a piece of paper on it I wrote " for every dark night there's a brighter day" I walked over to the man smiled and gave him a sandwich along with the note. He opened the paper, suddenly his face resembled a new color his eyes became wide and watery in the place of his frown a smile appeared. He reached for my hand and said “thank you, you truly have a gift" my heart filled with a powerful feeling. I felt all the confusion from earlier that day fades.
That night I couldn't sleep. I had to feel that feeling again. I didn't know why put I had the urge to make changes. I grabbed my laptop clicked on Google and furiously started typing away searching for things I could possibly do to help gain the feeling I felt. The week after I volunteer at an animal shelter called paws. There were so many animals needed care I bathed them fed them and cuddled them. As I can recall there was one cat in particular which didn't take to people very easily. “She’s a Scratcher" one of the mentors warned me. As I neared the feline I could feel the sadness. Her old soul crying out for love I walked over to
