Personal Narrative: How Pantss Changed My Life

438 Words1 Page

I guess you could say pants changed my life. If someone needed to know how to torture a 6-year-old Trillium the answer would be pants. As a young child, I absolutely despised wearing pants; they were uncomfortable, itchy, and stiff. I saw no point in putting extra effort into something bringing me so much discomfort. If there was no dress code for my elementary school I’m positive I would’ve worn a big comfy T-shirt with just my underwear. Comfort trumped anything for me, if I wasn’t comfortable I wouldn’t have been able to function; and it is still like that today, I immediately change into studying mode (pajama mode) when I get home. The phrase,“beauty is pain”, was one of my least favorites phrases growing up, because I hated the thought

  • LARP

    854 Words  | 2 Pages

    Society is often found judging each other based on physical appearance. Beauty and physical appearance play a major role in society today, whether we are aware of it or not. For hundreds of years, women have been treated with disrespect by society. Throughout history, women have been told they need to look a certain way. In the 1900s, women were told they had to be big and curvy to be sexy, and today women are told they need to be skinny, but still have curves in order to be sexy. If someone does not look the right way, they are ridiculed and made fun of, and not being thin enough can lead to major problems with one’s self esteem. Feeling ashamed of how they look and how they feel can then lead to even bigger problems, such as eating disorders. Within the novels The Samurai’s Garden by Gail Tsukiyama, Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, and the play A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen, one can concur that society treats people differently based on their beauty, and one’s physical appearance can lead them to feeling ashamed, used, or disrespected.

The things they taught me vary from math and other related subjects to just some truly simple yet meaningful life lessons. However, there is nothing quite as unique, quite as special as a person teaching themselves a life lesson. It really is an amazing accomplishment for a person to teach themselves something.

    We finish what we start. This was the motto that kept me going during the strenuous training period for a marathon. But prior to that, I must confess, I wasn’t an athlete. I was never interested in playing sports, except for recreational badminton. During gym class, I would walk three quarters of the time when it time for the dreaded mile run. I preferred staying indoors and sitting on the couch and watch movies. The first time I had heard about a marathon training program, called Dreamfar, in my school, I thought to myself, what kind of crazy person would want to run a marathon? Never did I realize, eight months later, I would be that crazy person.
