Personal Narrative: Home Life After High School

The road for my junior year was definitely somewhere in Georgia on a dirt path through the hills, a bump doesn’t really do it justice. To Begin this year was not the greatest at home, my parents and I got into it a few times one of which ended in me attempting to live independently, getting my first job, and having to return home. A few weeks later a night when going out with two of my buddies, we came back to our car getting robbed startling the robbers as we approached they began shooting at us and my friend took a bullet to the stomach luckily missing his main organs, he recovered well and is doing great now. This shook my focus on school and oriented it more to figuring out what life was about and finding peace with it after seeing such terror. These events over that school year effectively killed my academic motivation
My home life besides the occasional shindig has been really great, they have taught me my best and worst qualities. From how to treat others too how to do my taxes. They have covered all the bases, I will miss them when I get to live at your amazing campus hopefully. I choose to apply to UCF because I see it every day, it’s not the campuses I see. It’s the result, both my parents are intelligent goal oriented people with degrees from UCF, I respect them so I respect the institution that educated them. I feel I have a variety of unique characteristics that I could contribute to the UCF community. These are a strong public speaking background due to years in scouting and running the troop as the SPL (This is the main youth leader) or assistant (Second in charge) for a few terms. Also time management skills, Group management, planning of events, excellent work ethic, and outdoors skills. Another potential contribution is my interests in starting my own businesses, this brings me to people with similar interests and
