My narrative essay will be about a time when I was a little girl and disobeyed my mom by not wearing shoes. It was the summer between the third and second grade and I was playing at my friends house after a long day of softball. We were going over to feed the neighbors dog and I decided not to put on shoes because it was only the house next door. I ended up stepping on a piece of glass which left my foot bleeding and sore. When I went to the doctor, it didn't seem that anything was inside my foot but we came to find out that the piece of glass remained in my foot for five years and I didn't get it removed until the ninth grade.
This experience is something I will always remember and has taught me very valuable lessons. One thing it has taught me is to always wear my shoes outside, no matter where I am going. I now have this sense of paranoia about not wearing shoes outside and will not leave the house without them. Another lesson that this experience has taught me is that it is important to go to the doctor. After this all happened, I was too scared and nervous to go to the doctor so we didn't end up going to the doctor til about two weeks later when my foot got infected, causing more pain. It taught me that sometimes I don't always know everything and need to seek help from others. Lastly, it also taught me to fix my problems in the beginning and not wait to get them all figured out. If I would have gone to the doctor in the first place, I wouldn't have had to live with the piece of glass in my foot for an additional five years, causing much discomfort throughout those years.
This experience has really made an impact on who I am today and taught me many lessons. I feel that this is one of the most influential, formative experiences I have had throughout my life and has shaped me into the person I am today.
