Narrative Brainstormers

Passing away of my father- When horrbile day came of the passing of my dad a switch in my head went off. This switch told me that i would have to be more responsible and that i would have to grow up real quick. My mother was having a hard time raising 2 childeren so i had to start taking responsibilities and help my family succeed. I had this feeling that my dad was their to help me becuase I helped my mother through more than i could ever imagine. It was tough to help my mother with me and my sister but i had plenty of time to develop as an adult and learn what i had to do and how to do it. I could never see a day with out him but ever since then i have definatly grown up.

First Car- When I got my very first car that i was able to drive when ever was when i turned eighteen last march. I had a car but it was my mothers, but this one was special. It was a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse and it gave me a great sense of responsibility. If my mother could get me that car alone meant i had achieved something and now i would have to take care of it. I still have the car and every time i look at it i get the feeling that i have to be responsible here in college. This feeling came out because my mother would never let me out of the house for hours, and after the day she gave me that car it took on a whole new direction. She would trusts me and i can not destroy that.

Joining Marching Band (high school)- When i was in middle school band was just another class to get through. Their was not much we did except play a few notes. Then when i got into high school all that changed. I had to push myself since they were doing things right off the bat that i had no idea how to do. Marching band is my stress reliever and i am glad to have this talent. Playing the trombone has given me a sunny disposition and with that i can get through most anything without feeling like the world is going to end. It gave me the power to do good in school with out the death of my father really making things difficult, since i had this scapegoat to fall back on i went through high school in a breeze. although it still is rough i just turn to my sunny disposition when the going does get tough.
