Personal Narrative: Valerie's Life

Improved Essays
Months had passed since the last time Valerie had seen her brother, sure she texted him a lot, mostly inappropriate pictures of herself in various stages of undress, but that was about to change. Sure, Valerie was stuck in school with the clock slowly ticking away the seconds, but her mind was elsewhere, specifically back home waiting for her brother to get home for the holidays. Valerie had wanted to play sick and get out of going to school, so that she would be home when her brother got there, but her mother had no intentions of letting Valerie miss the day before semester finals. Unable to get out of it, Valerie had begrudgingly gone to school and would miss her brother’s return.

Luckily for Valerie she didn’t have any practices after

    During the eighteen years I have lived my experiences have been fairly sheltered. I have never traveled out of the country, eaten exotic foods, or gone skydiving; consequently, I haven’t met many people of special interest. Not to say the people I have met are not interesting, on the contrary, most of the people I have come to know all have their own unique stories and experiences; however, I never did meet anyone quite like Miss May. To this day I can’t pinpoint what exactly it was about her that intrigued me so much, maybe it was her rich brown hair and almond-shaped eyes, or how she pronounced candy more like “kehn-dee”, or it definitely could have been the way her eyes lit up when she smiled—still she will always remain a mystery to me.…

Regardless, it is imperative that you are able to defend yourself- just as Brenda Roza did. Having been told throughout her entire life that she couldn’t do certain things, Brenda thought that that being a successful person might be beyond reach to her - impossible.…
