PERSONAL NARRATIVE1
As both my parents are working parents, I tend to stay alone under the guidance and care
of a female care taker in my home. She was about 40 years of age. Apart from taking care of me
in the absent of my parents, she also used to do several other activities in the home. Since, I used
to spend most of my time under her guidance and care, she had a profound influence on my life.
It is her attitude of caring over the smallest of incidents helped to learn to give importance to the
smallest of the matters in life and learn accordingly. Though she was not my mother, her way of
caring for me never made me felt that I was not her own. In my free time, I used to have a
conversation with her and she used to make me understand various aspects of life. I consider her
to have a great influence on my entire career.
Though she herself was a woman of great nature, one such incident which happened in
her presence influenced me a lot and it even helped me to grow as well. The incident took place
when I was at the age of 14. Like my daily routine if life, I came from school, had lunch and was
watching some cartoon show on the television while sitting on the sofa. However, suddenly I
started to have pain in my stomach which I could not endure. Additionally, blood was coming
out from my private parts which was making the entire sofa red. I had no idea what was
happening to me and this was making me feel extremely frightened and nervous. My parents
were not even there to help me and guide this in this situation. However, the lady was there.
Seeing me crying, she came and cooled me down. She understood in the first instance what had
happened to me. As a result, she took me inside the bathroom, helped me in washing my private
areas and even made me wear pants which would prevent the blood from flowing. Though I was
very much reluctant in wearing the pants as I had no idea what was happening to me, she
comforted me and made me wear it and instructed me with great calmness explained me about
the period. She even made me understand that it is very much common to all girls of my age. As
