Personal Narrative: A Modest Proposal
As Hannah knows, I had to take my car in for some unexpected repairs today so am a little short on money at the moment.

So here is what I propose, instead of going out for drinks, and please feel free to say no, perhaps we could do supermarket wine and pizza, or some other filling vegetarian friendly option at one of our apartments.

    Personal Narrative: Learning From Mistakes

    Learning from mistakes is a key part of life. I myself have had to learn from my mistakes. Over the summer I cut my foot outside. I spent the whole night in the worst hospital, then I got 18 stitches in the bottom of my foot. It also set back my ability to play football. My mistake was going outside without shoes, now I wear my shoes all the time.…

    Personal Narrative: The New Frontier

    Traveling into the Indian Territory, we were being angrily chased down by three Indians furiously shouting at us. Dashing through the thick forest, the savage Indians were throwing spears and shooting arrows that narrowly missed us. Although neither Gideon nor I was mortally injured, I did suffer from a nick from an arrow piercing near my ear. Thankfully, a group of burly fur traders approached from the side, which frightened the Indians to run away. Acknowledging that Gideon and I were inexperienced travelers in the west, they offered us protection in exchange for some valuable possessions. As a consequence, knowing that they were our best alternative for survival, we gave them our antique gold pocket watches and assumed the identities of novice fur traders. From that point on, we followed them through the west and adopted their skills for efficiently hunting animals and keeping warm in the harsh, cold weather. During one of our rest points, we approached a large Cherokee settlement located in Park Hill in which our group leader was friends with the Cherokee leader John Ross.…

    Personal Narrative: The Comeback

The Hempfield Spartans 7th grade team would be ending their season 0-7 if we didn’t win today. As I was changing into my pads my friend mike walked in the room. I said “you ready for tonight”. “Heck yeah” replied Mike.…

    Personal Narrative: My Shared Vision

    The Shared Vision I am currently in the process of crafting includes working for an organization that will challenge me to grow both in knowledge and as a person. Peace Corp is one organization that can give me what I want out of my company and organization and how I am going to get that out of my new organization. At this time I am trying to link my personal vision to the organization’s potential in order to help myself align the organization’s purpose with my own purpose (vision): and to prepare the individual groundwork for creating a shared vision. I am at a crossroads on my career path, where I can either I can decide on my personal vision and try and line up my career with that vision or I can let someone else determine what type of work…

    It was 9:00 am, and the sky was grey like a wolf’s fur coat. The trees were waving back and forth behind me, they looked like tall giants. We were all called to the starting line and I could feel bullets of sweat slowly dripping down my face. I was more nervous than a man being interrogated. Five minutes later we get ready at the starting line.…

    Personal Narrative: Breaking The Regular

    Personal space is an invisible boundary separating one from others to be normally content. When violated, one may feel discomfort, anxiety, or even anger. As humans, we set rules in our minds called customs. Many of these vary from culture to culture but some are universal. One of those universal rules is the idea of personal space. In America, we have a strong sense of personal space, especially when it comes to strangers invading that space. From what I have experienced in the social norm, violating personal space of various individuals has a great effect in today’s society.…

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Experiences

    Finally, when I moved to New Orleans I started volunteer work at the Children’s Hospital and helped with pop up clinics for the Latino community twice. Overall I found that helping others shouldn't be something seen as duty or mandatory, it should be spontaneous. Through others experiences and hardships we learn and grow as human beings, not only did I enjoy helping others but I felt that it helped me with my problems. Having moved around so much and meet so many people and living by myself so many years I came to truly be thankful for my blessings and specially for my hardships. Hermann Hesse once said, "I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value." Helping others made me realize that we all need help and that my way to help others would be through their health. It also taught me not to judge anybody, especially if you don't know what they have been through. I am hard believer that everything happens for a reason, and all the weekends I spend watching my parents help others helping others myself made me the determined person that I am today. Finally, the most important lesson I learned was to never give up, no matter how hard the task is or how bad the problem is there will always be someone willing to help and you can always be both sides to that, the helper or the one who needs…

    Personal Narrative: My Search For Meaning

    The world is inherently a harsh place. By the age of four, I was well aware of many of the evils that pervade the Earth. In Colombia, I saw children sleeping on the streets, guerillas killing civilians without any hesitation, and animals being treated like mere objects. Having lived in a country where I observed more suffering, violence, and poverty than peace, security, and happiness, led me to believe that the cruelty I witnessed could not be altered. At the time, I wondered how a child like me could significantly impact the world around me. I found myself bringing home more than a few sick animals and giving my school lunch to the less fortunate on more than a couple of occasions. Still, I felt frustrated because despite my efforts I could…

    Personal Narrative: Why It's Needed

    I know you didn't like my post but it's needed. Do you remember when we first met and started talking? I do and I remember it like it was just yesterday. I saw that Gir outfit of yours and I just knew you were probably the coolest guy out there; well, I was right. We talked for awhile and got to know each other.. Just about 2 and a half years later you were standing right in front of me. I couldn't believe it was true! It all felt like a fairytale but no, it was real alright! Do you know the first moment I knew that I had to make you mine? It was that clear star-filled sky in June where we were sitting there just talking about everything and I became so comfortable with you. I sit here and play that night over and over again in my head all…

    Personal Narrative

    There are moments during the day when there is just too much noise. White noise hisses from the television in the corner. The high pitch buzz of rock music blares from earbuds implanted into the ears of someone nearby. Even the insistent clickity-clack of fingers across a computer keyboard seem to add to the flurry of traffic already flushed into my mind, via my overwhelmed ears. For me, there is one moment in my day that quiet is treasured. When I can no longer take it, I escape to a brick and mortar bookstore and treat myself to a hardback book.…

    Personal Narrative: A Real Human Interaction

    I had gained so much more free time by getting all my homework done at school. I didn't feel the need for a real human interaction. People hurt you and didn't care and I decided from then I didn't need people. So I turned to posting what I was thinking, feeling, even on occasion my secrets. It all had really begun in March of 2015, when I was alone at home and bored out of my mind that day. I started posting some anonymous posts and had texted a few people unknown to me. I really didn't know that, that was the day my life was going to change. The best thing I consider to have ever happened, happened to me. I had stopped texting people about 10 minutes in. I always grew tired of it after a certain amount of time. About 30 minutes after my post…

    “Maybe the collector might gone for rest!” Jagan joked. “ The basket seller girl was looking in an astonished gaze to us. I saw the forest over the ticket counter. It was the back side of the station. Actually the station was constructed by deforesting the place. I and Raghu went to the tea stall. It was tough but Finally, I convinced Raghu to visit Deriki.
