Personal Narrative: Ariel Abuelita Passed Away
“Ariel, Abuelita passed away..”
With that my world came crashing down, I felt my life was over for me and there was nothing more I can do. I abandoned everything, from my health, to my family, to even my studies. My grandmother was my second mom, she raised me in the house I now live in. I never got to say goodbye to her and I felt like a terrible person.
I’m really good at concealing my feelings so when everything happened, I just stayed silent. I never brought up the topic in school, I knew I would break down and cry. This incident happened in January of 2017 at the most inopportune time because I had to return to school the very next week. I decided that I needed time to mourn, so I abandoned my studies and indulged myself in my room thinking.

    Death was something new to me. I had never had to deal with someone close to me passing. I had experienced my friends losing a grandparent or a distant relative, but it had not affected me terribly much. I always considered myself to be lucky I had not suffered through the pain of losing someone brought. When this finally occurred, the first challenge was presented to me: accepting the fact I didn’t have a father anymore.…

    It has been five years since this event took place. The old saying is time heals all wounds and I agree with that to a point. I know still as of today there is days that is good for me and others that all can do is feel as I felt on May 10, 2007. They say there is a lesson in all life trails and I have spent the last five years trying to figure this life lesson out. I have come to the conclusion that maybe this wasn’t my life lesson to learn. That maybe it was meant for my son and his girlfriend or it could have been a lesson for all three of us. Sometimes God allows things to happen to…

    As I was growing up I would always try to break free, from all the violence going on around my neighborhood. After graduating elementary school, I saw the world entirely differently. Entering my sophomore year in high school I began to get caught up with the kids outside of my school. My grandmother came from Dominican Republic in 2010. She was my back bone for my motivation. The relationship I had with her was unbreakable. In 2012 all that was taken away from me when she passed away. I was so devastated that I thought my world ended I was in disbelief. The world took a pause until I took it all in. I was in such pain that all I wanted to do was hurt everyone else around me. I felt empty. A black cloud was over me that day and for the rest of the year. I decided to stop attending school. I found no reason to keep going on in life anymore. This was the worst low imaginable; now I needed time to figure myself out without my grandma.…

    It was the summer before my sophomore year in high school. Break was ending, and schools were opening soon. We just moved from a small town called Sikeston to Saint Charles, Missouri due to my dad’s new job. I have lived in Sikeston my whole life, and I did not fully understand why we all suddenly had to move. I was slowly starting to adjust to my new life in Saint Charles and my new school when twelve days after I moved, I received a call informing that one of my closest friends passed away. The whole conversation felt surreal, but I still remember that day, August 21st. I saw my friend Aubrey two weeks before he passed away, the happiest, sweetest kid I knew. I did not understand why that was the last time I would ever see him again. I did not understand exactly what happened. I did not understand why Aubrey out of all people had a tumor in his ear. That was the first time that someone close to me…

    She remembered the last labored breaths her mother had taken, each a struggle for one last moment of life. She remembered watching that same life pass out of her as she heaved her last, and how it had not been quiet and tranquil as movies and books made dying moments out to be. It had been obvious that her last few moments were filled with pain, as it tried its hardest to catch her one last time before she could physically feel it no more. Her soul had passed on, and her body was no longer hers.…

    It was the beginning of my freshman year of highschool when my mom began to see bugs in my food, my mattress, and any place imaginable, or rather the beginning of my mom’s hallucinations. That year I found out my mom was addicted to crystal meth. I could not believe it. We went from watching A&E’s Intervention together, a show about drug addicts, to my mom becoming a drug addict. That is when my world came crashing down. It was the start of one of the most important times of my life and knowing that my mom would not be there to mentally, emotionally, and often physically, support me was tough. It was extremely hard not being able to eat because my mom swore there were bugs in my food to my mattress being thrown out because “it was infested with bedbugs.” It was tough having to call other people to give me a ride to school because my mom was not capable of doing so. Not being able to go to sleep because I was worried my mom would leave in the middle of the night because she was jacked up on meth. But this was just a regular day…

    Never in my life had I ever thought that at the age of seventeen years old, I would lose my father in an unexpected accident. To this day, I feel it should have never happened. I would like to think it is all a bad nightmare and that I would wake up to see my father there the next morning, but unfortunately it is not the case. There are a lot of things I did not understand back then; especially about loss, sadness, anger, and fear. When it came down to these things I did not know how to handle these emotions so I began to suppress these feelings and pretend to act like I was the same person as I was before, but I was not. It hurt just as much to put on a mask in front of people who I knew and loved without uttering a word of what I felt in my heart. What hurt the most is that I lied to myself.…

    While I was waiting, I looked around, and from the window, the sky became darker and darker as the cloud covered the last sunlight. I couldn’t breathe. In about twenty minutes, most parents were there. Then the head teacher started to talk about how seriously we did. She told in front of all these people: “she was the one who cheated teachers and brought her friends out of school. We teachers are responsible for your children’s safety in the school. But who is responsible for that once they are out? Jasmine, can you?” I was shocked. I did not think about that the teacher would blame me for all of this. Everyone in the office was staring at me, and my parents as well. I was ashamed, so ashamed that I wanted to hide, and I can’t stop my tears out. The teacher continued and talked to all of students: “I believed you because you are fifth grade. I thought you are old enough to distinguish right or wrong. But now, I am really disappointed at you guys.” We were still in elementary school, and we were so young to comfort ourselves in this situation. Most of the girls in our group began to sob like me.…

    The significance of this event for me was that it forced me to learn how to allow myself to express my feelings properly. You see before when I lost someone close to me I would just get high and numb the feelings of anger, low self-esteem, loneliness, and having to make sound decisions. Now I had to actually go through these feelings without using, it was scary and there were times I thought about using, but didn’t. I grew emotionally through the process, but I also started to speak openly and honestly with my family which caused friction amongst us.…

    real and I definitely didn’t want to believe it was true but I knew I had to come to reality and take in the truth. Right after I got the news I immediately went home in embarrassment and told my mom as I cried my eyes out in the cover of my pillows. She said calmly that all boys are not what we expect them to be and that she would call the principle. I told myself that I was never going back to school again and never wanted to see another boy in my life ever. Days after days I missed school on social media everyone was talking about what happened and calling me horrible names so I deleted all my profiles on all my apps because people were talking about me on all of them and I couldn’t stand seeing or remembering what had just happened.…

    Also, I felt sadness at that time, because I missed my friends and family very much. When I was in school back in India, my two best friends, Swati and Bijal, and I used to go to school together everyday; if one of us did not understand any concepts, we always helped each other out. Swati and Bijal always had told me that I was going to miss them and advised…
