Write a personal narrative essay that describes a significant experience that has shaped your identity. Develop the narrative pacing, dialogue, and details that engage the reader( I need an introduction )

Since the day my step dad went to prison, I felt more grateful for the things I have. Whenever he was around it was fun
and just overall a happy vibe. Now that he isn't at home it feels as if we are missing a piece. He always wanted us to be
happy and to have a smile on our face and now I can't wait until he gets home. This experience made me grateful and to
cherish the things I have today because time goes by fast and you never know what could happen. Another reason why I
am grateful, is because not everyone has everything they need to survive. I am still shaping myself as a person( this is my body paragraph so far )
