Personal Narrative: An Empty Nest Syndrome

Trying new things, like a new home, a new job, or a new hobby are all things that can change people and that can be a challenge. New ideas, new people, new rules, and really anything that is different can change people. Change can be a good thing or a bad thing. Nevertheless, change is inevitable and it can’t be avoided. Take King George III for example.

Through obstacles, people learn how to adopt or change in order to get through difficult situations. In addition, they might change in order to avoid similar future obstacles. People change not only to overcome a bad situation, but also to evolve into something greater than they were yesterday. They change in order to gain opportunities and to create a way for future generations. Furthermore, growth, is a part of the process of changing. With that being said, in order to grow and realize the significant and the unimportant aspects of live, change is inevitable. Therefore, whether we embrace it or resist it, change is unavoidable, and it is likely to be devastating if rejected. Lastly, people change based on how they are being treated, their environment, and also though influences. Change is one aspect of life that human cannot

Change in our lives is a part of living. Without change we would no be here today living as successfully as we are. People don?t always see changes in their life as for the best, but usually when people see through the

Change is often viewed as a chance for people to live a new life and improve themselves. Yet, many others see change as a negative thing because of how it affects them and others around them. The novel, “Night” by Elie Wiesel, and the novella, “The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka, display examples of how change is most commonly viewed negatively. Change is often viewed negatively because of the aftereffects,the effects on others, and the difficulties adapting to the change. First of all, change is often viewed as something negative because of the aftereffects it has on the person.

John F Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, once said that, “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” This quote means that change is unavoidable and that it is always happening. Change occurs whether we want it to or not and because of that, we must continue to look forward. Some of the changes that occur in a person’s life are minor and other changes are more significant.

What does change mean? For most it means going beyond the norm and for some it can be

Change is a good thing because it helps us grow as people, not make the same mistakes, and learn new methods.

There weren't any new ideas in that book that gave me new ideas for myself. There were some things that I think of myself as an idea. An idea was that I should always be grateful and respectful. In the book, even with everything that the family didn't have, they would always have each other back and care of one another. Being respectful is also a thing that the family did a lot when Bran and Britt would always respect adult especially there mother. Another idea was being truthful. In the beginning, it was only Bran that was hiding something from his sister and his mother. If he just told his mother what was happening there he wouldn't have lived in the house because it wasn't his grandparents. Even if he thought they were. Those were some ideas

Changes in life are just there, some you can predict and others you can’t. Sometimes changes are huge and others are not. Some sudden changes in life are moving across the country, your mom and dad remarrying and women starting to become equal to men.

When I was thirteen years old, I gave myself a shot. I was never good with medical things as a child, like never wanting to take medicine and absolutely hating needles. Many children, and even adults, hate needles but they just have to suck it up and deal with it. That was what I did for most of my life, until I had a very bad ingrown toenail. My mother made an appointment with a podiatrist and off we went. I had no idea what to expect, and figured they could just remove it with not too much difficulty. However, the doctor informed me that removing it would be extremely painful and that my foot had to be numbed before he could do the procedure. Naturally, I freaked out, especially when he pulled out the needle. In my mind, the needle was a

What does it mean to be a parent? Being a parent means putting the well-being of your family and baby's safety first at all times, and making sure that no one will harm them. In addition, it means to love unconditionally and helping your kids grow to become respectful members of society. They will also be someone who will make the best possible choices in life and are willing to come to you whenever they need help because they look up to you as their strength and guidance. But, the one thing I don’t understand is why so many parents are killing their babies at the first stage of life, just because they are not ready to become parents. Because I believe if a couple is not ready or is willing to put a baby’s life above their own, they should

The clock seemed frozen. As if time stopped solely to torture me. Possibly two minutes had passed and I could already feel the heat. It took every part of me to leave my arm still. Not only was my arm feeling agitated, but I simply couldn’t refrain from the tapping of my foot. With every eager spark in my body, I told myself to resist the overwhelming urge to itch. It was for the greater good, but the sting of it only gnawed at every nerve. The minute hand stood still at a halt. I could only helplessly ponder the outcome and hope that for my sake it was good., praying I also prayed that this exasperating wait would be worth it.

Change also brings hope and a sense of renewal. It reinvigorates, it inspires and is emotional.

In my life, I have been exposed to a challenge called change. Change can occur in many different ways and is dealt with in many different ways. I have come to the awareness that change can be the deepest of all things. I always thought that change occurred when you moved to a state or when you lost someone real close to you. Those are a challenge to change, yes, but change doesn’t have to occur over a climactic incident. It can just appear overnight when your brain winds up when it’s time to do something different. Even with friends that you used to have and know that move on. For example, most of my friends from elementary school, I don’t even talk to them anymore.

My parents divorced when I was five, so I was raised in a single parent home by my mother. My aunt and mother both instilled in me what it means to be a strong, independent, God fearing woman. From the time I was born I attended church regularly, praise dancing and singing in the choir. Being able to touch someone while ministering the word of God is one of the greatest privliges I’ve had.
