My Personal Life

My Personal Life(Edgar Banuelos) My Personal Life

As I was growing up my favorite hobbies were and still are acting, rapping, dancing and writing poems, stories, etc. I love what I do because I believe that one day I will show the world something unique, something the world hasn’t seen or experienced before. Besides all this, my life has been very depressing and sad because of many internal and external reasons I’m about to tell you. This is who I am and why I matter.

When I was in 4th grade I would get bullied a lot by kids older than I. For example, as I was headed to the bathroom one normal school day I felt like I was being watched. I just ignored the strange feeling but then, 2 kids came upon me and one of them slammed a bat on my back causing me to collapse on the floor, but I kept that incident to myself because I was too scared to tell anyone thinking they might say or do negative things to me.

The next situation happened to me when I was in 6th grade. I was outside my house talking to one of my friends over the phone when a stranger who looked very suspicious walked towards me. At first, I thought he was going to pass by me but I was wrong. Suddenly, he pulled out a knife from his pockets and held it against my throat and threatened me. As he did so he said, “Prepare to die!” Luckily, I acted fast and pretended I was going to call the cops. Therefore, he quickly ran away so miraculously I survived!

All my life I've worked hard to prepare for the future but there’s people out there that hate me and want to stand in my way. I’ve been kicked, punched, and stabbed until I would collapse all bloody, broken, and bruised, mostly because people hate what I do, which is really dumb. A lot of people have called me names, threatened me, and even chased me down until I stop so they can hurt me and keep me from achieving my lifelong dream to become famous for my skills. I want the best for the world and I think I’ll bring something special to it. I believe I matter because I’m unique like everyone else and because hopefully someday I’ll make world history!

A lot of people tell me it’s not possible to be famous. Therefore, they make me depressed and want to quit, but guess what? It’s their opinion! In my opinion I think anything is possible if you just believe in yourself and in your accomplishments. Still, today I get beat up or threatened, but I’ve learned to ignore them and keep on pursuing my dreams. I matter because if I overcome this dilemma, I will change the world forever in a good way. What I’ve learned from these experiences that are still going on today, is that no matter what happens to me I will never stop doing what I do best because at the end my hard work will pay off.

In life there will be ups and downs and you will get emotionally or physically hurt by someone standing in your way, but don’t give up because no one can tell you who you are! If you love doing something unique then don’t quit because as long as you try you will succeed.
