Personal Narrative Analysis

Personal narration: the movement that transformed my life

After reviewing my life, I decided that the decisive moment of my life was when my family and I moved to the United States from Puerto Rico. I think this was a great change in my life, because I not only left behind my home, my family, but also my memories and everything that I considered that made me happy.

When I was seven years old, my parents made the decision to move from Puerto Rico to the United States in search of a better life. This change of country was the beginning of a completely new life for me.

First of all, I had to separate from my family. Being away from my family has been a great sacrifice, because we were always a united family. Every day that passes I realize

how much I miss them, so I try to keep in touch with them, because when I can hear their voices I feel better.

Another important part of my life are my memories. Although my family is large, we always had an excuse to meet and spend time together. One of the activities he most enjoyed was the celebration of January 6. That day my aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandparents, cousins, all of us gathered to celebrate the tradition of the three wise men. This was a day full of surprises, games and a delicious meal.

I also have good memories of my first school in Puerto Rico. In the Montessori school. I met my first friends, Daniel and Alexander. Another important memory was my first participation in the talent show, I was in Pk. I was so excited to receive applause that I did not want to leave the stage. My grandmother grabbed one of my hands to get me out. In first grade we won the first place and the best costume prize. In second grade, we obtained the second place.

Finally, my new one in the United States. When I first arrived in Florida, I studied at Griffin Eagle Elementary. When I started at that school, I did not speak or understand any English. I had a translator to help me. But I took my time to learn English. First, listen to other children when they spoke to try to understand the language. Also listening to Minecraft songs to learn new words. Little by little I learned a little each day until I started interacting with other children. I remember that Mrs. Dobson, my third grade teacher and the translator Ms. Joslin, helped me a lot. Both had a lot of patience in the process.
