Personal Narrative: Being Molested As A Child
342 Words | 1 Pages
Everyone has difficult obstacles in their lives. I have had a few myself and they each have changed me for the better. My most profound experience was being repeatedly molested as a child. I wasn't aware of exactly what was happening to me. I didn't know being touched was wrong. I just knew how disgusting it made me feel, but I didn't tell anyone at the time. I shared this publicly as an adult to help other parents realize that children need to be protected. It was a long journey to reach to the point where I could speak about my experiences with anyone. These experiences from my childhood affected me deeply; however, I have overcome them, learned from them and I have contributed at a higher level because of them.

We were given the next work set, although we were already exhausted from the previous hour of swimming. My arms could not longer move the water around me, and my legs felt as if they were on fire. It was a kick set this time, and so we began the laps with our kickboards in hand. On the last lap of eight, I passed by my close friend, whose face was read with pain and whose legs struggled to make it to the wall. Just as we made eye contact, I made a sarcastic expression and blew bubbles in the waves before me. We both started laughing, and although this made our abs cringe with extra effort, the laughter made it easier for us to finish the set. With a simple look, I was able to change the environment of the lap lane from one of pain and anguish to one of amiability and togetherness. Ultimately, this changed the environment of the rest of practice and encouraged each of us to lean on one another as we worked through the pain to the end of practice.
