Learn to Appreciate Others’ Sacrifices and Contributions
1. The story should have an introduction that clearly indicates what kind of narrative essay it is (an event or recurring activity, a personal experience, or an observation), and it should have a conclusion that makes a point. 2. The essay should include anecdotes. The author should describe the person, the scene, or the event in some detail. It's okay to include dialogue as long as you know how to punctuate it correctly and as long as you avoid using too much.3. The occasion or person described must be suggestive in that your description and thoughts lead the reader to reflect on the human experience. For instance, I read an excellent student essay that told the story of a young woman forced to shoot several wolves that were attacking her cattle. She told her story and included the inner struggle she faced as she made the choice of saving the cattle or saving the wolves. She shot the wolves, but learned that whatever her choice had been, she would not have been comfortable with it. One of life's lessons is that sometimes there is no right choice, and that was the point of the essay. 4. The point of view in narrative essays is usually first person. The use of "I" invites your readers into an intimate discussion. 5. The writing in your essay should be lively and show some style. Try to describe ideas and events in new and different ways. Avoid using clichés. Again, get the basic story down, get it organized, and in your final editing process, work on word choice.

My parents have taught me to appreciate others’ contributions since no one can succeed alone. In some cases, everyone needs a little help to achieve objectives or get things done correctly.
One of my friends applied for a managerial position in a large corporation. He always told me he would be happy if he was hired in that organization since it was his dream career. Indeed, having completed his master’s in business administration, he was ready to apply for a vacancy for a managerial position in his favorite firm, which was advertised in the local newspaper. My friend forwarded his curriculum vitae, cover letter, and other appropriate requirements to the human resource department. He was lucky to be among the shortlisted candidates. Moreover, he passed the first interview and a written exam. However, the final interview was to be conducted by the company’s directors.
The day for the final interview arrived, and my friend was ready after several rehearsals, which I helped him practice. Despite his outstanding academic qualifications and work experience, my friend was one of the fortunate individuals to have studied in the best schools. His...
