The purpose of a personal narrative, in general, is to make an argument by telling a story from your own life.
In this paper, that argument should relate to how you “came of age”. In other words, you should write a story about a personal experience you went through at some point, and show how that experience helped you change, in some way, into who you are today. Examples of significant experiences you could write about include (but certainly are not limited to):
A rite of passage for a culture or group you are a part of
A favorite experience growing up
A horrible experience growing up
A major change in your life
An ethical dilemma
Someone or something that influenced you
A challenge you overcame
An initiation that impacted your identity
