Personal Narrative: Where I Grow Up
I was raised in the Northeast side of Houston Texas around the Jensen Area. Where I grew up has
Has taught me a lot of life lessons. It taught me to not trust anyone no matter what because sooner or
Later they will turn their back on you.
My family have always been there for me and I will always try to keep it like that because family is
The Only thing that will always be there for you. My home is always clean and maintained because we
Try to take care of it and keep it clean.
My neighborhood is still the same as far as I remember. They haven’t fixed anything except for my
Elementary school (Coop Elementary) where I went back then. They also fixed Parker road not so long
Ago but they haven’t fixed other main roads …show more content…
or any of the buildings. There is a a lot of crime in
Community but it isn’t as bad compared to other neighborhoods.
Houston is a big city so you see different people every day. You also meet different people every
Day depending on where you go and the reason on why you went. I have met a lot of people growing up
Just by going to school. I have always attended HISD School.
I usually go to Shady Lane Park or Dodson Park to play basketball or to walk my dog because those
Parks are the closest ones to my house. Ever since I was a kid I owned dogs so I have always walked
Them at those parks to try and keep them healthy and actually get some exercise myself.
I started working when I was in the 9th grade and I am still working right now. I’ve always liked
Earning my own money because it feels better than just getting handouts. Right now I love my job
Because I am learning to become better and get paid decent money. I will work my way up to try and
Be better and be able to do more stuff so that way I can get paid more.
When I was little I had more family members here in Houston. As a kid I have always been friends
With my cousin because we used to live in the same house a couple years back. He is also my only
Cousin here in Houston because the rest of them are in Chicago.
My grandpa used to live with me too when I was 3 years old but he moved back to Mexico so I haven’t
Seen him since. I have never met any of my grandmas or aunts because they are all in Mexico.
My parents always told me to respect people if I want to get respected back. I have always
Followed that rule which means “As long as you respect me, I will respect you back”. I was raised to be
Humble. My parents have taught me so many things, this is why I am the way I am now. I don’t
like
Acting childish like a little kid because in a couple years you’ll turn back and feel dumb.
Ever since I was in elementary I have been smart but I kind of messed up when I was in the 9th
Grade. I have been trying my best to graduate in May with the Class of 2017. I was a smart kid when I
Was little and got honor roll numerous amount of times. Parents always motivated me to do good in
School and I did my best to make them proud of me.
As a result, I always been and always will be the same Daniel I am right now. I will never change.
