Personal Narrative: Peering To The Future
Some people look to the future with despairing eyes unknowing what they may want to be, but not I. I look to the future and know who I want to be as a person. Though I am unsure what I want to be, I do know how I view myself in the future. Peering to the future, I see myself obtaining these goals, for I know they can and will be reached. Though I do not know when these goals will be completed I do expect myself to complete them all at some point in my lifetime. In this paper, we will examine how I, Dylan Moore, see myself as follows; being financially secure, or in other words, being able to provide for myself and my family, maintaining good and wholesome relationships with friends and other people, and lastly is having long term happiness

    Throughout my life I have encountered many circumstances that have shaped me into the person I am today. I was born in Moroleon, Guanajuato, Mexico. I attended school in Mexico all the way to second grade. In the summer of 2006 I moved to Cumming, Georgia. It was the hardest thing to do because I left everything that I care the most about. We lived in a trailer which was not the nicest place and in the middle of the forest. I started school at the beginning of August. I had always loved school so I was so excited for the first day. I knew it was going to be hard because I would have to conquer so many obstacles on the way. At this time the only English I knew was probably counting from one to ten and some of the colors. My Father knew some…

    My junior year of High School, I was in the musical ‘All Shook Up.’ This was my first time being a supporting lead in a show, and I was ready to work as hard as I could to ensure I was ready to do my best when those curtains flew open on opening night. Rehearsals were going well, memorization was going well, and everybody has a positive outlook on the show at hand. One evening I went to bed, knowing I had rehearsals the next day, and I was eager to arrive and see what that morning rehearsal consisted of. A little after midnight, I woke up…

    Sometimes, I experience days where I want to move away from everything I am and everything I know. I dream of the day I can start over in a new city, town, or country. I have lived in the same house since I was one years old. Over the course of my life, I have accumulated a large circle of acquaintances from church, work, and school. It never surprises me when I see someone I know in Target. I dwell in a small world, and I want to get out. I want to get out and what else is out there in the world.

    A year ago today I woke up from an enduring coma, which was due to a bullet hitting my frontal lobe in a mass shooting at a concert in Chicago, and it brought me to a dull country with no opportunity for advancement . I woke up to a dreary hospital room waiting for someone to come in, and I pondered a look around my room which only displayed one machine that kept me alive and a bed. Apparently the government stopped funding hospitals and several other groups because our debt came back to us to bite us in the butt. When the nurse came in she told me my sister will be by to pick me up, and then she ran away before I could ask her any questions. When my sister finally arrived she looked at me with a befuddled face, but later recognized me; however, she kept a robotic face with no expression while looking at me. Only a couple minutes later I was kicked out of my room because the machine to my right cleared me to leave. As I walked out of the building, I noticed everyone wearing drab clothing and a surplus amount of homeless people wandering the streets and coming up to me to get money or food.…

    It all started on a Saturday morning. I used to hate basketball so much, but my dad woke me u saying that I had basket ball the next day. I was so furious but it was morning so I thought i was dreaming. Once I found out it was real and not a nightmare I ignored my dad which only lasted for about 30 minutes. Me being the 6 year old I was I couldn't ignore my parents or hold a grudge for long. My parents drove me to Nike Outlet and got me my basketball shoes and my black and pink elite socks.

    I arrived at practice with my shoes laced, hair pulled back, and the mindset that I was unstoppable. I could play against every member of my team and come out the victor on any given day. It was the first day of practice that week, and challenge matches were scheduled to begin. The team went through our daily shuffle of drills, conditioning, and running to prepare for what was lying ahead. While warming up with my friends, I felt great, talking about homecoming, boys, and a variety of irrelevant events. I felt ready. The odds were in my favor and nobody could stop me.…

    I struggled to come up with a time in my life where I could not be myself. I have had the same job for fourteen years, have been with the same person for more than fourteen years, and have had my friends for longer still. Trying to find a time that I can distinctly remember not being myself I have to go back a long time, probably around eighteen years. The more I thought about it, the more I could only recall freshmen year in high school as being a time where I was living two lives. I attended a high school that not one single person I knew attended, I was on my own. Many of my friends attended the same two high schools and enjoyed the luxury of having something in common with each other. My high school was a specialty school that I choose to attend but none of my friends were able to. The school having different concentrations in different arts almost built a segregated culture. This major spent most of their time away from another major and so on. This built up temporary walls that eventually would come down. However, I think this helped me feel an outsider.…
