Personal Narrative - God's Role in My Personal Transformation As they grow up, almost every child feels the need to be someone, to understand their own identity. Most children seek acceptance from their peers through the way they dress, the music they listen to, the people they hang out with, the parties they attend, or the other activities they participate in. Even though I never felt a strong need to please others as a child, I still struggled with being shy and lonely and not always fitting in. Now, having grown up in many ways, I no longer feel the need to fit in. I discovered who I really am. Whether their parents are separated, divorced, or argumentative, many children living in America today grow up in broken homes. Luckily I have never felt such pain. Rather, I grew up in a wonderful home. My parents always looked for ways to strengthen me, to support me in what I did and to make me happy. For example, when I was about six years old, my father built me ​​a huge sandbox much larger than any sandbox for miles around. Additionally, my parents always took the time to make sure I completed my homework and helped me when I needed assistance. In sixth grade, when my teacher would give us what seemed like impossible logic puzzles, my father would stay up late and spend hours with me until we solved the problems. education. For as long as I can remember, I went to church weekly. My parents tell me that since I was little, having only seen the world for a few weeks and months, they took me to church. Every night, even today (when I'm at home), we read the Bible together and... half a sheet of paper... and my Bible-based beliefs have made me a more outgoing person overall. I became more and more involved in extracurricular activities such as Cross Country and the Student Tech Team and finally felt part of the school. Not only was I making a difference at my school through my participation in extracurricular activities, but I was also standing up for my beliefs and making an impact in doing so. While there isn't much contrast between my life before and after becoming a Christian, as my faith has grown since becoming a Christian, I have become a more confident person. I have learned more and more the importance of letting God control my life, for "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God ". , who loved me and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20 ESV).
