Literacy Narrative

• My first topic will be about how I struggled living without a father throughout my years. It was a shock to me knowing that my father was gone but it was not a clear view to me that he was really gone. I had a choice to either except that my father was gone or not. Most teens would really kill themselves over a family member and let their life go. Lucky that I have a supporting mother and she stood by my side the whole way. Unfortunately, my mother felt like she needed another man in her life to feel the love that she use to have with my father and I could not except that decision. However, The one man I accepted was my step father because he was the one to step up to the plate and take care of us and at the same time not and try and replace my father.

• My second topic will be about my transition between leaving high school and going into college. Dealing with the grades I had in high school made me believe that I was not gonna get into a good college. The grades that I had in high school were not that great and when I was applying to colleges I was not getting excepted to barely any colleges. However, I did get excepted to NEIU and had to accept it even though it was not my top option.

• My last topic will be about my nephew. My nephew grew up to a teen family. This has a big impact on me because knowing that my brother is a teen parent I have realized that being a teen and a parent is hard to manage. My nephew has a great family to look over him and as a aunt I have the position to stand up to the plate and take care of him as my own too. Many teen parents struggle and have their difficult times and when those times come I am the one to be there for my nephew and manage to take care of him at any point. Even though I am a young teen and go to school I still put out my time to take care of my nephew and have him with me at any time. Most teens would just go out and have fun and leave they're siblings handle their own issues.
