Literacy Narrative Topics

There are many things in my life that have helped shape me into a better person, shown me what NOT to do, and helped me change the things I need to change. However, I've chosen three topics for this narrative. The first is horseback riding/racing.

Endurance horseback riding has taught me how to be and independent person. I had to take care of a horse, an animal that needs the proper treatments and training. I learned how to be responsible and take care of something other than myself. I also became a very determined person. I always wanted to do well in my races and make sure my horse was healthy. Because of this, determination is something I have in everything I do, not just horseback riding. The second thing I could possibly write about is getting in trouble by the police.
Last summer, my friends and I were stupid enough to drink in my house. Unfortunately we were too loud, and the neighbors called us in. "FREEZE!" is what we all heard. My natural instinct was to run...and I did. I got tackled and laid out by the policeman. We all ended up getting caught. We had to blow in the breathalyzer. Luckily they did not give out minors. From this whole situation I learned to not be stupid! All we had to do was use our brains and we wouldn't have put ourselves in that situation. I learned that a rule is a rule, and if you break it, there will be consequences. The last topic I can write about is my mother's battle with breast cancer.
My mother was diagnosed in 2008. As soon as my dad got off the phone with the doctor and told me the news, I literally pinched myself. I couldn't believe what I had heard. When my mom told me she had to get a biopsy done, I kept telling myself "Oh that won't happen to us." I realized we are not invincible. Anything can happen at any minute. Watching my mother go through chemo and radiation gave me a whole new perspective on life...don't take it for granted.
