    Personal Narrative-Traumatic Events In My Life

    It’s extraordinary to think about how we take so much for granted - another belief we take for granted is that every night the stars will shine. When you wake up in the morning and make plans for the day, you never really contemplate those plans changing entirely in the blink of an eye. I had never thought much about it, personally, until I was faced with Death himself. I don't think anyone really contemplates tragedy until it knocks on their front door. In fact, it doesn’t even knock – it forces itself in and threatens to leave you with nothing but heartache and suffering for the remainder of your miserable life. Traumatic events can occur in numerous ways, at any time in one’s life. Some are lucky enough to get away with them. Unfortunately, I was not one of the lucky.…

    Personal Narrative: The Injury That Changed My Life

    One of the worst injuries that has ever occurred to me was having my fingers burned by extremely hot water. It was a cold, dark day at 7:31pm, and it was just me, my older brother, Gideon, and my younger brother, Theodore. I was 9 years old, Theodore was 2 years old, and Gideon was 12 years old. Every day I would drink some hot tea, because I tended to be extremely sensitive to the cold. And when I say sensitive, I am talking about that if I was drinking regular temperature water, I would be shivering probably throughout the rest of the night. Gideon was doing homework at the basement, while Theodore was sleeping in my parents’ bedroom. I was making myself some hot tea, when I accidentally poured hot water on my hand for 2 seconds. Now 2 seconds seem like nothing, but when something like…

    Scary Traumatizing Experience

    When I was younger, I was terrified of strangers. I would not talk to anyone who wasn’t family or a close family friend. When extended family came into town, I was very apprehensive. I was very shy and I relied a lot on hiding in my mother’s arms. I wouldn’t even talk to my preschool teachers for a long time, I just cried instead. I refused to talk to anyone at the grocery store or at my sibling’s schools. I do not have any idea as to why I was so timid, it is not like I had a scary traumatizing experience. I was just quiet, but that has definitely changed throughout the years. Now I can strike up a conversation with anyone, and I’m usually the one who won't stop talking. According to my mom, I didn’t really start talking to people until I…

    Personal Narrative: The Event That Changed My Life

    A big event that has changed my life was when my older brother moved away to go to the navy. This changed my life cause I did not know if I was ever going to see him again. When he told me he was leaving and not going to be back for awhile i thought he was leaving because of me, I was a little brat back then so yeah and at the age i was i thought everything was my fault. The day my brother left was probably the saddest thing to ever happen because me and him would always hang out and play video games or walk around town or do something fun. I remember when we dropped him off at the airport i was clinched on to his leg and i was refusing to let go because I didn’t want him to leave. Now that i look back on it i think one of the reasons why i didn’t want him to leave is because he was kinda like my best friend/ role model so yeah and well he is my older brother and I didn’t want anything to happen to him.…

    Personal Narrative: Trauma In Relationships

    There were times in my live that I really did struggle with friendship interactions. I always have a deep feeling of caring for my friends and at times I can be emotional and not as rational when it comes to these relationships, especially following my trauma experience from my medical problems. The reason I do not have many friends at the moment is due to me always snapping at them for not always putting the effort into the friendship. For example, I might say that “You hardly ever talk to me” or “how come you cannot make plans for me when you do for others?” Whenever I tend point those things out to my friends they just either take it or snap back at me. This bothers me even more because my friends will just fall off the radar for a while…

    Childhood injury

    It was a Saturday like any other Saturday. One afternoon I went outside to go play with a few friends. I was about 6 in the first grade and I was a normal kid. Actually I was a little dare devil. I was doing anything someone dared me to do. But, this day would change my mind about all of that. So, I found a few friends and we decided to go play at the park. At the park the monkey bars were for the big kid. My friends and I were all looking at the monkeys bars and then, they all looked at me. My friend Kevin said to me “I dare you to go across the monkey bars” and trying to tough I said “ok”. As I walked over the bars I had a littlestomachache but, I ignored it. As I approached the monkeys bars I am telling myself “you can do “over and over again. I then climbed the ladder and got to the first bars and decided to be fancy and skip every other bar as I went across the bars. As I was going across the bars I stopped in the middle out of nowhere and got scared. So, I let go of the bar that I was on and put my arms under me because I was going face first. Everything happened so fast that the next thing I knew I was looking at my arm as under my skin you can see a bone was out of place. One of my friends ran and got my mother and, she came over going crazy and called my stepdad to bring me to the hospital I called the whole way there. And, for the next 6 weeks I was in a cast but I learned my lesson that bad. Never go on the big monkeys bars nor stop in the middle of the bars.…
