Personal Narrative: Something That Changed My Life

Something that changed me and let me be the person who I am today is friendship. Friends can raise you high above the skies. Or, they can pull you down under the ground.
My parents are very close to me. They have enough knowledge and awareness from people around us. My father advised me every school year that I needed to keep enough distance from others. My father said to me, “Abdulelah, never go out with bad friends. They can affect you in a small matter of time. I know you’re smart. You will know the right thing from the wrong thing.” I knew that my father trusted me because what he had taught me. My mother told me, ”Abdul, focus on your schoolwork. Do not give up no matter what around you tells you. If you work hard today; tomorrow will
I try not to lose those friends, because they have white heart. They wish good for others. They are generous. If I make a mistake, they tell me the mistake I did so I do not do it again. I try to look for friends like them. Because, they think the way I think, they talk the way I talk, and they do everything without being inappropriate. I love to hang out with them because I will learn from them and they will learn from me.
As time pass by, I realized those people, who are bad friends, are not responsible for what they are. When they were young, their parents did not raise their children in a good manner. So, they would go to unknown people on the streets and talk to them and learn from them. Children at some point need their parents close by to ask them and learn from them. When their parents realize what wrong behavior their children have learned, they would punish them for something the children are not guilty of. Then, who is guilty? The answer is the
They are bad, so they want their friends to be bad, too. I have a big experience with friends. I visited a lot of countries and I saw how bad friends treated others. When I was in Morocco, I called bad friends “mentally ill.” Because, if they had minds they would have used them. Those “ mentally ill friends” were in my school. Some of my classmates were very bad students. The others were quiet. So, on my first week at school, I saw my best friend got into a fight with 12 grade boys. The problem was my friend asked nicely to pass through the hall. The 12 grade boys said “ No you cannot because you are nerd.” When I heard that; I immediately stepped in to help my poor fellow. I walked to them with anger on my face and I told them “ It does not matter how strong you are if you do not have a mind to use it probably.” After I said that, most of the students circled around us to attend the fight. The principle heard the noises. The principle instantly came and stopped the fight and took all the people who were involved to his office. We explained what had happened and made us write a pledge. I tell my friends and advise them to use their brains. Because if they are not going to use. Someone else wishes to use
