It is nerve-wrecking to wait for my CBEST score. I should receive my score by the end of this month. I really hope I pass the writing section. I feel good about it.
As we wait, here is my practice personal narrative essay:
Everyone has someone who greatly influenced them. Who impacted you to shape who you are today? Explain this to a group of high school graduates.
*************************************************************************
The person who impacted me is my grandpa whom I called Gong Gong. The two reasons why he was so important to me was his faith and his love which I saw daily growing up.
First Gong Gong lived his life by faith. He was a Christian man. His words and actions coincide with the Christian principles. For example, he worked as a caregiver for the elderly before his retirement. He was kind, patient and gentle in his care of the elderly. In those actions, he showed the important qualities of a Christian who live by faith.
Next, Gong Gong lived his life with love. He loved his family through his actions rather than his words. As his granddaughter, he showed his love by spending time with me, sharing his advice and conversing with me. For example, he walked me to and from school daily during my elementary school years. During the walks, we were able to have some quality time with each other. He encouraged me to do my best in school.
In conclusion, the way Gong Gong lived by faith and love helped shape who I am today. By his example, he influenced me to have a relationship with God as well as to live life with love. I chose to accept Jesus in my heart and continue to live my life following God. I try my best to live life fully with love, which is one of the qualities of a Christian. For example, I am willing to just listen to a friend in need.
