Personal Narrative: Finding The Perfect Pump
Those big, blue eyes and brown nose won me over. On our way to Target my mom, my sister and I were walking in and we saw a pet adoption sale next door at PetSmart. We went to take a look. We saw a puppy named Sawyer, he made us realize that we wanted a puppy. We didn’t want to adopt Sawyer because although he was so cute, he was a bit crazy and that’s what started the adventure to find the perfect pup.

    As I stood on the board, I imagined myself soaring through the air, picturing every move I made until sliding into the water as perfectly as possible. I competed as a Springboard Diver for six years. Diving helped me discover and further explore the nature behind what motivates me and keeps me mental strong and capable, which is now an immense aspect of who I am. Although I am no longer a Springboard Diver, it still influences aspects of my everyday life. Diving is unique in how it is more mentally taxing than it is physically.…

    I used to love reading. In kinder and first, my nose was stuck in a Magic Tree House book. Third, fourth, and fifth grade I basically lived at Hogwarts (in my rightfully sorted house, of course, I am a proud Hufflepuff). And in middle school, I discovered THE tween series of my generation, Maximum Ride. Reading was exciting, and even though I had done it for years every time I picked up a book it felt so novel. I was your ordinary bookworm until seventh grade when the joint power of Ms. Green’s teaching and James Patterson’s writing broke my will to read.…

    Nearing the end of the tube I can almost see the shore, It feels as if I've been riding this wave for days. This wave is my hurdle in the ocean that is life, choppy at the beginning but slowly passing by. The ocean has many waves, one for each surfer to ride, my specialty wave happened to be dyslexia. It was in the second grade that my teacher first realized I was different from the other students, because I had yet to read my first book. My parents had found this odd as well, and took me to see a neurologist, who diagnosed me as having dyslexia. I did not quite know what this meant at the time, I only knew that it was the reason I could not comprehend the topics as easily as my classmates.…

    Growing up in Hawaii the ocean or the pool was the place I felt most comfortable. My dad is a big reason why I love the water and being so active. He signed me up on the Kona Dolphins swim team when I was ten years old. I immediately fell in love. I loved being able to push myself to swim faster and continuing to beat my fastest times. My coach saw potential in me and continued to push me to become a faster swimmer. But, as I got older and entered middle school, I grew apart from the sport and desired to do other things. About five years later I met another sport called water polo. My good friend Reiko told me about our schools team and said i would love it. I was nervous about starting a new sport as a sophomore, especially one so rigorous.…

    Drive is something that tons of people have not yet to grasp. The word drive itself is just as powerful as its definition. Having a drive for something means there’s passion in what you’re doing. My drive is to get out of bed every day and be productive. It’s my drive that pushes me to get to work and push myself forward. Having that drive for something isn’t something I would want to let go of either. The problem today is that it’s that it’s hard to have a drive for something since it may take a while to achieve that goal. Sometimes I want to give up just thinking it’s not worth it in the long run, but an underlying drive kicks in that keeps me going.…

    Finally, when I moved to New Orleans I started volunteer work at the Children’s Hospital and helped with pop up clinics for the Latino community twice. Overall I found that helping others shouldn't be something seen as duty or mandatory, it should be spontaneous. Through others experiences and hardships we learn and grow as human beings, not only did I enjoy helping others but I felt that it helped me with my problems. Having moved around so much and meet so many people and living by myself so many years I came to truly be thankful for my blessings and specially for my hardships. Hermann Hesse once said, "I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value." Helping others made me realize that we all need help and that my way to help others would be through their health. It also taught me not to judge anybody, especially if you don't know what they have been through. I am hard believer that everything happens for a reason, and all the weekends I spend watching my parents help others helping others myself made me the determined person that I am today. Finally, the most important lesson I learned was to never give up, no matter how hard the task is or how bad the problem is there will always be someone willing to help and you can always be both sides to that, the helper or the one who needs…

    “Do one thing every day that scares you.”, a quote that Eleanor Roosevelt once chanted. This is something that I once never dreamed of accomplishing. As a child, I was described in three words which included quiet, shy, and a scaredy-cat. These words would slowly disappear after a visit to East Silent Lake Resort, in Dent, Minnesota. It’s a place in which me and my nine family members vacationed to three years ago, when I was thirteen years old. This visit to the resort was during a humid summer. During this visit, I learned a valuable lesson that helped me understand how this statement can help people grow, like it helped me. This adventurous day would involve a rusty pontoon, royal blue waters, and an enormous lifejacket. I’ll…
