Personal Narrative: Walt Disney's Life
Kiana Rae Baruela
Period 5 “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” Walt Disney
I have never taken the time to think about what I wanted to be. This is not until I was about 7th grade. I realized that I wanted to be a successful person. I want to be known for achieving my goals. After hearing all the great stories of how people are changing the world every day, I have been inspired to be one of them. Looking at their faces and how proud they look and what they accomplished warms my heart. I hope that someday I will have that face and memory to look back on. Maybe I’ll even be able to tell the story to my grandkids. The quote by Walt Disney states that if you have a dream, it will come true as long as you have

Not just any legacy but a good legacy. A legacy could be for their high school career. It also could be a legacy that they leave for when they retire from their job. Perhaps a legacy left for when they leave to join the man upstairs. Their legacy could be anything, but it reflects on them and their actions. As for me, I hope that my legacy that I leave behind is the loving, humble, intelligent woman who always thinks about others before herself. My dream is to someday join the United States Air Force. Every day someone around the world risks their life just for us. They not only care about themselves but also about the country. To me, that takes a whole lot of courage to do. They fought for us with no hesitation as to the consequences that would occur. Could you imagine how they feel knowing that they can’t just go to the mall on a Saturday afternoon? They can’t enjoy the ability of being able to take a nap after a hard day’s work. They have a duty and they are 110% committed to it and I’m willing to commit as …show more content…
I have been participating in cross country and softball since I first entered high school as a freshman. The sports keep me in shape and also help me keep my grades up. If you don’t get good grades then there is no athletics. To be able to participate in any athletic event, you must obtain a 2.0 average. I guess you can say I am on the right track. I’ve also participated in NJROTC. Even though it’s a JROTC program for the Navy, it still teaches you leadership skills. I was able to experience the feeling of being yelled at. I had the responsibility of wearing my uniform and making sure I wore it properly and proudly. It helped me a lot to realize that this is only half of it. It’s no way near what happens in the Air Force. It’s the real deal for them! But even though, I’m still willing to take that leap and pursue my

    The Armed Forces is something my family is quite familiar with and has been an influential part of my life as a structure of leadership. My dad has told me a multitude of things he has experienced while in the Army and the opportunities given at hand when he was enlisted.

    I first thought I was going to change the world or at least make a difference through physical therapy. That was what I had my mind set on, even throughout high school. But then my world turned a complete 180. I had to move to Nowhere, Texas with my mom, dad, two older sisters, and their kids (my niece and nephew); Charlotte and Cillian. It was weird, hard, and the last thing I ever wanted. Although the move had nothing to do with my career goals, it was another thing that I questioned along with everything that was going on in my life at the time.…

    The United States Military has always been an influential and important part of my life growing up as child. My grandfather was a Marine who fought in the battle of Okinawa during World War II and he has always instilled a deep sense of pride and respect for my country in me.

    I want to have the distinguished honor of enrolling in the Reserve Officer Training Corps because I wish to do something bigger than myself so that one day when time has pushed forward I can look back and say my single greatest decision in life was to be courageous and join the military through ROTC.

There is no other candidate that wants this opportunity more than myself. I realized the opportunity to become an officer in the United States Army, and I pursue it with a purpose everyday. That purpose being to conquer my goals one bridge at a time with precision and accuracy,…
