Personal Narrative: My Declaration Of Independence

The other day I was driving home pondering life. The traffic was horrendous that day, being it was rush hour and Friday. I had decided to make a detour and bypass the traffic. Unfortunately, I was stuck at a red light. To the right of me was a homeless man asking for some change. I thought of the opportunities I had today, and what he had today as well. Almost naturally I reached into my backpack, searched deep to discover my wallet and pulled what change I had left. As the homeless man walked by my car, he didn’t look at me, as if he assumed a child wouldn’t hand him some change. I remained determined, however, as I fluttered my arms up and down. He spotted me with the money in my hand and a surprised look on his face. He accepted the change,

I do too have my bad days just as often as good ones. I define that I am blessed. I am appreciative. I am grateful.

At the beginning it was tough, taking in the insults a dozen times a day, but I learned to laugh it off. I promised myself I wouldn’t let it get to me. I pressured myself to focus on the positives, as there was much more. School started shaping up with my grades, things at home were great, and no other social errors were occurring.
