Personal Narrative: I Am Today

What high school has taught me about being a person is that you have to do things when they are given to you. Don’t wait on things to finish by themselves, because they won’t and before you know it your falling behind and everyone is on you asking constantly if your going to graduate or not. I used to be a very quiet person, like overtime I went to school as a younger person my teachers would often think that there was something wrong with me and told my parents they think that I am “special” like I needed classes for kids with disabilities. But this was not true, I just would never talk to you unless I got comfortable. But high school has taught me that this world if not for people who keep quiet, and that to make it you need to talk to people or you will be left behind. And this just comes to me as a senior, I wish this new me came a lot more sooner. I feel like if I was who I am today is way better than who I was just a year ago.

I am a lot more responsible and a harder working person that I was.

And If I had not changed I would be in a lot more worse position than I am right now struggling to graduate. I realize that this makes me a better person and that I can actually do things that people say that I cannot do. Because their is people who don't believe I will graduate and some of them are my parents.. This makes it hard for me to believe in myself but I am trying my hardest to complete this introduction to life called high school.
If high school is this hard then I wonder if giving college a try is even worth it, maybe I could do it. The only thing I could ask myself is “is it worth it?” And just hope that High School has taught me enough, through my whole life I've had to make new friends and new bonds with teacher’s. I believe the teachers I have here at Rocinante High School are the absolute best teacher’s Ive had in all the schools I’ve been

to.
Some area’s I feel like I still need working on is my social skills and reading and writing skills. My social skills are gonna be a huge problem for me because my whole life I've been quiet keeping my thoughts in my own mind, never having to talk to anyone because I’ve had my parents there to talk for me. Since I’ve gotten older they have just like they have just dropped me. They used to spoil me and give me what I wanted but something happened, Im no longer the kid I used to be I guess. I always relied on my parents to do everything for me but now its my turn to speak for myself, and show people that I actually have a voice and that I know how to use it.
My writing skills will need to increase greatly, I’ve learned that when you do anything like apply for a job that they’re not going to higher a person who can’t write like a smart person. That’s why I try not to use (because and, and) at the beginning of every sentence. I really haven't read a lot of books throughout my life, I would always try to read a book, but I would never finish it.
It was always a thing for me, I couldn't find a book that actually interested me. Its not that I would purposefully quit on a book its that I would become bored of reading it. I could get into the action part of it but I would fall out of it when it just feels slow.
The only book I actually got into and wanted to finish, which I never got to was a book called “Fahrenheit 451” Its a book about the banning of books and how the government burns the books along with the house they are found in.
