Personal Narrative: Shaping Me As A Carry Person

After reading your response I realized I was not completely clear on my point of view. I have noticed this before and am working on trying to be clearer when writing. I also am trying to find a balance when giving details with my explanations. It is a find balance that I am still learning, in the past I have gone off topic because of my detail or long explanations. This is something that I am constantly working on and is not easy. However, when I receive feedback like this one it helps me find the part of my journal that I need to fine tune. I appreciate the time you took to read and give a meaningful response and not just tell me you agree. Yes, I do like people agree with me because I am only human. But when I receive a response like your,

My carrier goals is to finish the BA in healthcare management & leadership. I have already finished two associates and three certification. In order for me to accomplish my goals it helps me to be strong and to have faith of myself. I have three beautiful children’s and at the beginning of my accomplished I was single mother of two, then I met my husband and I have a baby with him. My children had never stop me from finished my goals, unlike they give me more strengths to keep going in life. So far, I accomplished already my first part of my goals, now I am completing my second part of my goal, and I am thinking to keep going until my Master degree. When it comes to education, I believe that there is nothing that stop me. I may not have a higher

As a kid who wasn’t very athletic or artistic, my options for clubs and classes was kind of slim. So, naturally, I turned to music. I had joined my elementary school’s band in 6th grade, my only obstacle was to choose which instrument to play. I was caught between an alto saxophone and a flute, two completely different instruments, and I of course chose the one more difficult to carry. When I started my saxophone career it felt like more of a chore to practice than it was enjoyable. Soon enough, I started to practice on my own instead of having to be told to do so. I have now been playing the saxophone for 5 years, falling in love with it as the years went by. My favorite music to play on the saxophone is jazz, the energetic feel to it makes it interesting to play and listen to. This instrument has brought me a lot of good memories, I can’t wait to see what else it has in store for my future. I’m almost glad that I wasn’t athletic enough to make any of the teams, because if I would have I wouldn’t have picked up a saxophone.

Moving, for many people, can be a difficult process. A lot of the time kids have to switch schools and deal with the challenge of making new friends and getting used to everything new. Since my parents divorced when I was five years old, I can remember living in many different homes. My mother would rent out a place, live there for a few months, then meet a new guy and move on. For years, I hoped to myself that my mom and dad would get back together, like Nick and Elizabeth Parker from “The Parent Trap.” I knew, however, deep down that such a thing just couldn’t happen. My four siblings and I were dragged along, forced to go with the flow and adapt as quickly as possible. Up till she married her second husband, Tony. As young as I was,

I was born in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico. Although you may assume that I possess a lot of traits of a stereotypical “Latina” I do not. I wasn't raised in a big family. It was just my parents, my younger brother, and me. I was raised by an engineer and an economist both of whom have always encouraged the idea of creativity, curiosity, and innovation. Traveling is big part of my life, and helped shape me at a very early age. Along with traveling came moving to the United States, which made it hard not to reflect on identity and heritage.

Everything I carry is for memories. The papers, the jewlery, the photos and thoughts, the hope. The thing I’ve carried the longest is my necklace. A thin silver chain with a small amethyst gem. It was given to me on my 16th birthday, really the day after. Right before the Christmas dance. I wear this necklace everday and only take it off when I really need to. My younger cousin comes to visit me and whenever she sees it she calls it a little star. Whenever I get nervous I just hold it and move it up and down along the chain. Of the many things I carry, this necklace is most important to me. Crammed in all the corners of my pockets are silly things, wrappers and receipts, loose change and scrap peices of paper I’m too lazy to throw away. But

I carry my backpack, and it is heavy with books. I carry these books on the lives and details of the living creatures in front of me: the ants, the bugs, the worms. I carry the memories of all that time in my life spent looking at the ground, observing these tiny lives lived mostly underneath pavement. I will never be small enough to go underneath the pavement, so I carry the duty to avoid killing the creatures that can. I carry an odd feeling of kinship with arthropods. I picked it up somewhere when I was small, maybe because I liked feeling gigantic in comparison, and I never removed it, although I have gained perspective. I carry the knowledge now that I am human. Being human means inheriting a legacy of callousness and I

I grew up in a small town, where everyone knew, and helped each other when times were rough. People there were humble, we even had this saying when it comes to food, "It is better to have more rather that to be missing." Although we were not a rich family, my mom would take time to give food to the homeless, on a

I was born in a impoverished area in Guatemala city, where the scarcity of jobs and education was a normality, still the a acts of human service is what kept us alive as a small community. I may not know the exact date or the exact time, but I can clearly remember the moment when our next door neighbors surprised me and my Mother with groceries and money to pay the house rent . I was just seven years old when my single unemployed mother became

My identity can be defined by moments in my life. Moving to Canada, learning English and going to high school are three major moments in my life. Going through these experiences have changed the person in me and made me more confident, stronger, better in everything.

I'm coming from a background where living with financial problems is just another thing, but while living in Mexico I rarely saw anyone living on the streets or giving up. I always saw people constantly working on the fields, cleaning houses, selling candy at a stop light, doing everything they could to bring food to their families. My background doesn't only consist of every day endeavor, but it consists of people who are willing to help those who aren't able to help themselves. I saw people who didn't have much for themselves, helping and supporting those who didn't have anything at all. When I was eight years old I saw kids my age starving, without lights in their homes, without toys to play with or even shoes to wear. This is when the eager to help those in need began. I didn't understand why, but I just wanted to give them all my toys,clothes, and shoes. After giving them some of the things I owned, and making a fundraiser to buy food for them, something in me was still telling me I could do more. Coming from this created the characteristics that I now possess. The determination that these people had to work

The first item that I carry is my faith and more specifically, the necklace that I received from my parents when I was confirmed last year. It is a silver cross that I wear almost every day. My necklace helps to remind me of my faith and all that it has taught me. Not only is faith very important in my family, but it has also allowed me to meet people that I would not have been able to meet without the church. I have built a strong group of friends through my church and by extension, my faith that I know I can go to with any problem I have. My faith has also guided me and reassured me during challenging times in my life. It is a constant in my life, which is calming given that so many things in life are not as stable or consistent as faith. I carry this necklace with me and even when I do not wear it, I carry my faith everywhere I go and in whatever I do.

When I was in third grade my teacher assigned us to write a book titled “All About Me” and just about every word was spelled incorrectly. I remember my teacher reading it and asking what word I was trying to spell out and I got upset. I felt like I could not spell anything I was trying to write, put things into the right words, or into the correct order. However, in seventh grade my writing changed when my English teacher assigned us a paper to write about a book the class was assigned to read. My writing had improved, but still had its problems. My English teacher always told me that there is no such thing as a perfect paper. After he read my rough draft, he handed it back to me and there were red marks all over it, so I went home and fixed

That is, until I was nine and fainted at the sight of my own blood when I cut my finger.
