Personal Narrative
“Whatever has happened to you in your past has no power over this present moment, because life is now” - , all my life I have followed this idea, every time I face an obstacle and fail or when something awful happens I try to move on, but it can be very difficult at times. I remember many time in my childhood when awful events happen, but with the help of my family I can always find a way to move on and not dwell in the past.
I come from an average family: a mom, dad and two older brothers. When I was little we lived in a small cramped apartment in a small town named Lindsay. I went to an average elementary school just like everyone else did. I had a normal childhood that had its up and downs. I remember the time when my older brother Mario fell and landed on my leg it broke of course so my parents rushed me to the hospital, I wasn’t mad at my brother though. I also remember the bad memories of all my pets, my first pet, princess got run over by a motorcycle, I was devastated but then the man on the motorcycle stopped to give me 20 bucks then he drove off. My second pet Cookie which I loved dearly run away on 4th of July we didn't notice until the next day. I spent the whole day looking for him but I never found him he's still missing till this day but I think he's dead. My third and final pet brownie was a wonderful, smart, and healthy dog, but one day I notice that he wasn’t moving I thought it was nothing but days later he still hadn't moved and I saw red ants all over his body so I sprayed him with the hose and the next day he died so we buried him in the backyard. I lost all my beloved pets it was very difficult to forget about them but I with the help of my family and the support of my friends I found a way to move on and forget about these horrible events.
I remember my fifth grade year like it was yesterday because of the terrible memories I had of that year especially with math work I had to do. Math is never my subject, in fact I hated it with a passion, I failed most of the quizzes and when my mother found out she was very upset with me and she told me in Spanish that I'm not going to pass this year if i don’t try harder. I didn’t want to fail the fifth grade so I tried my very best to getting better, but it was no use I still failed all the math tests so I told myself not to worry about all the math tests that I failed and not being able move on the sixth grade because my teacher told me that I was still moving on to the sixth grade even though I was terrible at math, so I moved on with my life. My Childhood wasn’t all that great if you couldn’t already but I didn’t let these horrible times get the better of me because I learned to move on in the future and not dwell on the past but I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family and friends.
