Personal Narrative: Who Am I

Chapter One
Who am I?
I’m Isabella Alfonso. I’m shy, quirky, and a little crazy. I love music and adore chocolate. I have a high pitched laugh and quiet sneezes. I have a brother, a sister, a mother, and a father. I never played with dolls and can’t paint my right hand. I love my friends, have long hair, and don’t know how to start a sentence without I.
During the summer I swim for hours at a time, I love the feel of water. Basketball is my favorite sport, I’ve done it since second grade, but I’m not very good. I keep playing basketball because I love the adrenaline rush during the game. Since sixth grade I’ve participated in an activity called colorguard, where we throw/spin/dance with flags, rifles, and sabers. One of my favorite things

to do, which I don’t get to do very often, is go on rope courses. It’s so much easier to breath up there. During the weekend I bake in order to relieve of stress I gathered during the week. Sometimes I’ll just lay and my bed and think for hours, this is usually during the weekend when I’m lonely.
When I grow up I want to become a doctor. I don’t want to be any doctor, I want to be leading neurosurgeon of the whole entire world. Although it’s a good reason, I don’t want to be a doctor to help people. I love science, I want to be a doctor because I love seeing, learning, and knowing how we function.
Someday I would love to travel around Europe. I’d like to sit at the french café eating pastries, feel chocolate melting in my mouth, and take part in the tomato festival in spain. Before I go to Europe I want to be fluent in another language. Right now I take Spanish, but I still have a lot of practicing ahead of me.
In order to reach my goal of becoming the best neurosurgeon I work really hard in school and take courses online. I’ve also been thinking ahead. I want to attend Stanford Medical School.
