How Rabbits Changed My Life :: Personal Narrative, essay about myself

I was never liked much when I was younger. I was constantly made fun of and teased unmercifully. I was looked down upon when I was in school. It was as if everything I did wasnt good enough. I didnt succeed in anything. I made bad grades in school, I was worsened in sports, and as the result of that my self esteem was zero. That all began to change the day I bought my first rabbit. Raising rabbits has improved my self esteem tremendously. Having a high self esteem is one of the most important assets a person can have. When I was in the second grade, we had a rabbit as a classroom pet. Fudge was a small, brown, lop-eared rabbit. He was my best friend in the school. He would never judge me by what I did, wore or said, and he loved me without condition. I was extremely sad when summertime came around that year because I was going to lose my friend. So, with a lot of begging and promises, I talked my parents into letting me get a rabbit of my own. I worked hard doing extra chores around the house to earn money to buy my rabbit. When the big day came, some a year later, I was elated. My mom took me to go and visit a local rabbit breeder to see what animals she had for sale. I immediately fell in love with a little female rabbit. Bunnita was a purebred Holland Lop, which was the same breed Fudge was. She was white with brownish-gray spots and her ears didnt really lop, but stuck out to the align of her head at a funny angle. I guess she was what most people would describe as ugly, but to me she was adorable. After getting Bunnita my mom distinct to get me involved in a 4-H rabbit project and so she started a 4-H rabbit club. My brother, five other kids and myself were the first members. The time came when I effected I would need to get another rabbit if I ever wanted to show. Bunnita was a wonderful pet, and I loved her, but I was set about to learn that she left much to be desired in the showing field. My mom bought my brother and I another rabbit for Easte r. April was an American Fuzzy Lop, a breed similar to a Holland Lop except it has wool instead of normal fur.
