Narrative Paper: Introduction

Did you know that being homeless was the worst thing ever.
I was homeless for two years, and still survived, even with three siblings
To take care of.

Before I became homeless I had a pretty normal life, parents that cared,
A house that had electricity and utilitys. I was Loving life. But slowly after that I noticed it. I had noticed that my parents were on Meth. It slowly got worse and worse, I hated it because I had to take care of my two brothers and one sister, because when my parents left, they for days even weeks.

And then finally one day they didn’t come back and I was so scared.
So I dropped out of school and started selling narcotics to support my sibling.
We lived in a mobile van in the back of my aunts house, which was a junk yard, in Magna…

Kirk,
I really enjoy the person aspect you took in writing the introduction for your narrative paper. You start out with a sentence giving the reader an idea of what is to come. After reading the intro you develop your theme with details of the comforts of your life, and the hardships. These details also grab the reader’s attention helping them put themselves in your shoes.
Keep up the good work.

I was homeless at one point too. I lived in a mobile home in my grandmother's back yard. The difference is I was three. SO I kind of know what you're talking about.

Crap. If I had that life I dont think that I would have been able to do as much as you have. You are really strong to pull out of that. keep your head up.

I like how you kept your narrative paper clear and simple. I like how you made everything flow, you could of put more detail. But I like your story its sad but you over came everything and that's a big accomplishment.

Wow Kirk that is really sad I'm sorry. You have grown from that I'm sure so just keep moving forward and strive to be as little like your parents were as possible. Grow from the experiences you have had and be a better person from it.

Kirk, that is very personal and I'm very sorry you went through all of that. I'll bet that you've learned through that experience and maybe now when you have your own kids, you'll know what NOT to do. I bet your siblings are appreciative of you for taking care of them to the best of your ability.

Im glad that ur a great guy still and always have that postive attitude. Not so many people turn out how you did when they became homeless. Ur parent did something right if you have that self esteem but leaving they did something very bad and wrong. "Keep Moving Forward!"
