Personal Narrative: A Sandwich In New Mexico
I wake up in the morning feeling great. My cheese is perfect and I eat a healthy breakfast containing a piece of bread and a slice of my newly made fresh lamb cheese. I pack my rv, feed my pet, fill-up with gas and head out on the open road. My vehicle’s engine is purring almost like a kitten and I’m pleased to read a highway sign that sets the speed limit to 80 mph for the next 290 miles. I plan that I can get to the end of texas and be on my way in New Mexico in 10 h 48 min (733.9 mi). About halfway through my journey I decide to stop for lunch. According to a street sign i'm on S broadway St, tx and I find a lovely restaurant called George’s where I buy a gyro sandwich for $5
202 S Broadway St, Post, TX 79356. After lunch I stroll around

    I am a coupon person. I love coupon via mobile and with limited information. I just brought a piece of furniture that normally cost $3800 and I got this furniture for $1200 from JCPenny’s. I don’t really look for coupons unless I am going to that store. I must admit that I love on particular fast food chain named, Chick-Fil-A. I actually look for those coupons. I have received free minis, and other free things from Chick-Fil-A. At the same time, I carry Michael Kors products, which represent a particular status. I have a $400 dollar purse that I only paid $100. I even have a Michael Kors cell case, but no-one can tell it is a Michal Kors, but it make me feel a certain way. So, I am not sure what type of consumer behavior that I demonstrate.…

    It took years to think of my inventive costume idea. But, finally it came to me: a Chipotle burrito. Garnished with beans, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, I spun in circles as my mom wrapped me tightly in tin foil. I became the perfect incarnation of everyone’s favorite Mexican meal. Little did I know, in a mere two hours my confidence would amount to nothing and I would be seemingly friendless. Even though this moment seemed humiliating, now it acts as a reminder that I should never feel ashamed of my individuality.…

    As we stumbled into the line of the Taco Bell off of 41, I popped an Altoid in my mouth, hiding the vigorous scent of Fireball Whiskey. Next to me, our safety is rocking back and forth as a sweat trickled down his forehead.…

    As a Chinese-American, my family expected me to help out at the restaurant while maintaining straight A's in school. But, it wasn't easy; every day, I would report to the restaurant after school and immediately start working. Inside the kitchen, I would pack all the orders into aluminum containers, place them into a brown bag, and insert packets of sauces and utensils. Burns and cuts were common due to the terrible and tearable aluminum containers. Outside at the front desk, I would answer the seemingly endless ringing phones. In many instances, customers had to wait either on the phone or at the front desk for me to find their orders on the computer, even after they showed me where it was on the menu. During lunch hours, the pressure was even…

    To tell my story, I have to set the scene. It was the summer of 2014, the Thursday before school started actually. I had not seen familiar faces in a while so, I was ready to get back. I did not realize it yet, but taking a job at Whataburger would be the biggest (only) mistake I ever made.…

    In Defense of Food was quite shocking at first. In all honesty, it made me think I was going to die within the next week due to a heart attack triggered by all the junk I eat. Considering I myself indulge in processed cookies from the aisles of Stop and Shop, and steak tips that have been marinating in salt for two days, the film hit close to home. But in all honesty, I don’t eat that bad; in comparison to the Seventh-Day Adventists I do, but I think I’m doing alright.…

    The sandwich generation are middle aged individuals who are responsible for their caring for multiple generation. These individuals are usually caring for their parents, children and possibly grandchildren. This concept is very familiar to me. When I was in the first grade my grandmother moved in with my mother, sister and I. My mother took care of my grandmother until she died three years ago. As we got grew older she taught my sister and I how to take care of my grandmother which came in handy when the time came for us to care for her. Before my granny moved in with us we had always gone to her house (which was up the street from ours) to take care of her. When she moved in I thought it would be must easier to take care of her because we…

    Strutting through the looming stone gate that acted as a portal into another world, I could hardly tell that I was still in America. Gold Chinese inscriptions glittered atop the gate, which was guarded by two pearly, white granite lions standing erect, flashing their menacing teeth. Taking a few steps through the gate, it felt as though I had walked into a wall, a wall of cigarette smoke, shouts of old men playing cards, and an array of sweet and savory smells wafting through the air.…

    Today as I was walking into the cafeteria; there was a paper on the every door that said “Due to the incident on November 14, Cheez-its are no longer allowed in the cafeteria! Thank you for your cooperation.” Every kid in the whole grade was wondering if the paper was real or a joke. The whole lunch period, everyone was talking about the new rule and how they thought it was nonsense. The sixth graders were telling everyone different stories about why Cheez-its are abandon from our school.…

    I suppose it may sting if you don’t watch your step. I wished, “if I at least had some flips on”. Until I realized it wouldn’t make a difference. It started as a nice time, a decent day. Then a scream. Then a cry. And back home for the evening...... the weekend.…
