Fighting For Freedom-Personal Narrative
This I believe.

A fighter, That's what some people call me. Family, friends, people I don't even really know. They call me a fighter because I fight in my head, against something that can be way more powerful than me. If I win a fight, they call me a fighter because I overcame it, I faced it and won. If I loose, They call me a fighter because I get back on my feet and face it again. There is an infinite amount of rounds. I am almost always fighting. Fighting for my freedom, my happiness, fighting for an amazing life. How do I not give up after 11 years? How do I not get tired? Cause I believe I am strong. I believe that life is a game. There are challenges and obstacles, big and small, that makes life hard. But at the end of every challenge, there is an adventure, an experience. Everyone's game is full of challenge and experiences , good or bad. Only the strongest people are willing to get up and play, and if an …show more content…
It was a scary experience and it changed me. I knew that Portland did help me, It got rid of my rage attacks and made me feel much better by changing my meds, but that didn't get rid of the trauma.I changed my bedroom so I didn't have to remember the terrifying rage attacks, I cried, I was terrified that I would have To go again, I had nightmares, I pulled my hair out, and school seemed horrifying to come back to. But I went to therapy, I slowly got back on my feet, I got better, regained my skills, and after that horrible experience, I finally got up and started my life again. I wouldn't let this take over my life. I wanted to be happy. That's why they call me strong, that's why they call me a fighter. I had been through so much, and it was exhausting and terrifying, and I felt like giving up and hiding under the covers was the only way to feel peace, but I knew I was wrong. I wouldn't be happy, or in peace. I would feel sad. So I got back up, started fighting my fight, and continued my game. This would not ever get in my

    Personal Narrative: My Sacrifice

    Growing up, I noticed a lot of discussion about financial problems between my parents. It’s not that we were becoming poor, it was because of our growing family needing more supplies. My mother just gave birth to my little brother when I started noticing the financial issues my family were facing. As a little girl, I do not know how our finances worked all I knew was many bills were due and I knew it because when I was a little girl I liked to practice reading and those bill statements were the papers that attracted my interest due to its colorful paper.…

    Personal Narrative: We Are All Patriots

    My father and I stand in our family room wearing matching Tom Brady jerseys. We shake with anticipation. It looks like the Seahawks are about to score a touchdown and pull ahead of the Patriots in the last few minutes of the super bowl. All hope seems lost until Malcolm Butler makes his legendary interception and ensures us a superbowl victory. My family exults. The Patriots have once again claimed another. We have spent the past months waiting and watching, hoping and praying. The Super Bowl wasn’t just won for the men on the team, it was won for all of New England. As Robert Kraft says, “we are all Patriots.”…

    Personal Narrative: The March On Washington

    If I had harnessed the ability to travel through time, I would choose to experience 1960’s Washington D.C.. The city was struck with such large amounts of heartbreak, but at the same time, many people had more courage than they’ve ever had. I would spend the first couple of hours exploring the riots on the roads, the segregation present in the shops, and just how people felt in this time.…

    Personal Narrative: Fighting The Revolutionary War With The Patriots

    In the near future, I see myself winning the Revolution War with the Patriots. I can picture it in my head, every single little detail. I will be at the front of the army as we charge towards the Redcoats. We will be fierce and strong in our ragged clothes and bare feet. We will stand firm when the British try to fight us. If they beat us, we will stubbornly keep coming back until they raise the white flag! I know it seems hard to believe but if you see it from my perspective, I am sure I will change your mind. Right now I am at Valley Forge in the 1700’s. It is dreary, smoky, and cold but I always try to be optimistic. I try to boost my fellow soldiers’ spirits. I am usually successful, though most men are going home and not returning.…

    Personal Narrative: My Desire To Participate In The American Revolution

    When one reads this part, “be anyone for one single day”, from the prompt, I can safely assume most people would think of well known people such as George Washington or Thomas Jefferson. Famous people. However, as for me, my thoughts were the complete opposite. The American Revolution was occurring, so there is no time to be famous. I want to fight, I want liberation. I want to be separated from the oppressive Parliament. Who or what I want to do? I want to fight for freedom. In all my experiences, I’ve encountered so many injustices done to other people and myself. I don’t want to be a bystander. There is a strong desire to participate in this war so I can change the world and make it a better place. There shall be no more injustices, no more…

    Personal Narrative: Empire Strikes Back

    Well the question I get all the time is, did you ever expect it to be so successful? I did think it would be successful because it was a fantasy that had a sense of humor. I thought it was hilarious. It's amazing how warm people are. I'm always taken a back because they make you feel like you’re part of the family. Now that stories, you know I met my wife online for Empire Strikes Back or whatever like you named my daughter Leia or you know everyone has a personal story. A line I said in the first one that now has been in all of them, I don't know about Rogue one I've only seen that once I have a very bad feeling about this or I have a bad feeling about this. That's another thing, people have seen these things more than I have so they correct…

    Personal Narrative: My Diary Of The American Revolution

    The night of April, 18, 1775 I was abruptly woken up by some random man running through Boston yelling “The British are coming, the British are coming!” I was not very happy of getting less than a hour of sleep. This weird man came through around 10:30 PM and woke everyone in the town from there sleep. At first when I heard him say that phase I did not know what he meant by it. I then gathered with my neighbors outside and was told if I wanted to fight the British I had to sign my name on the books in the city hall later that evening. When I went to that meeting later that night they told me to go home get a pound of bread a flask of water and my gun, and to also get a little rest and when the drums sound go stand on the green. So I went home and rested a little and then said my goodbyes to little Johnny and Benjamin. Until we all heard the drums. I then went with my…

    Personal Narrative: The American Revolution

    In general, I would be a revolutionary because I would want freedom from England as much as my neighbors and I would want to be known as a Revolutionist living in the colonies. Even though, the American Revolution was known as “civil” war, a war that is fought between people of the same country (If you lived at the Time of the American Revolution, “n.d.”). In short, England ruled all the colonies located on the Atlantic Ocean which was known as the thirteen colonies consisting of two and half million people (If you lived at the Time of the American Revolution, “n.d.”). In fact, liked most settlers, the task of growing this new country into a profitable society took a lot of hard work and most of the settles were indentured servants selling their service for four to seven years, but in return they were looking…

    Imagine living in a place where citizens with light skin had control of citizens with dark skin. I believe that my flag in my heart means courage, because all of our soldiers had to have courage and bravery to stay alive, safe and self-assured from others. Deep in my heart, I believe that somewhere in the world, there is a person that needs our help. For all the dignity and self-esteem our heroes have, that that person and citizens around the world will get our help.…

    Personal Narrative: A Hardship Movement That You Learned From

    One of the biggest hardships I have faced in my existence so far has been watching over my siblings. I was at my sister’s soccer game at night which was somewhere in the heart of Landcaster when out of nowhere I see this older man with a thick mustache and heavy baggy clothing creeping around in the corner of my eye. This guy was 6 feet tall and I’m not sure if it was just me but something about this guy just screamed danger so I kept a close eye . After sitting around looking shady for a minute he just scuttled off towards some other soccer field just out of sight, curiosity got the better of me so I trailed this guy. This guy was obviously a fish out of water since everyone in the soccer fields…

    Essay Journey to Freedom

    In this short story, Nguyen tells her story about her journey from Vietnam to Australia and expresses the change his family faces throughout this long and hard journey. Nguyen also expresses of how she believes they transitioned from being ‘nobody’ to a ‘number’. She also expresses her feelings towards numbers and how the people behind the numbers and statistics are forgotten and all that is remembered are the numbers. In the second paragraph Nguyen states her amazement that after everything her parents have survived through and feared for, they are still able to recall the chilling numbers that has set history in their lives, Nguyen says, “...and it amazes me they recall them so easily. ‘It’s something one never forgets’ my mother says. ‘You wear it in your mind,’ she says, ‘long after the chalk has been erased.’ A prisoner never forgets his number.” By this you’re able to see how the numbers that either broke or made people’s lives are forever imprinted in their minds. Nguyen seems to be caught between, angered at the fact that people are replaced in reality by numbers, to being quite curious and intrigued at the fact that one never forgets these types of things, such as a number in a queue of their lives.…
