Personal Narrative: Double Doors
We walked into the lunchroom, through the double doors
Food mopped off the linoleum floors.
I walked to my table with my tray
Chicken again today… yay!
I bite into my mashed potatoes
Some kid next me had halos
I eat the chicken cold and dry
I should have gotten deli, I don’t know why
I sat with my friends, Jim and Tom
My friend, Blaire sat with her friend, Ron.
Jim brought his chips.
Tom was grossed out and bit his lips.
I made a face
Blaire claims the chips were a disgrace
She then said, “A little amount in a bag?
It’s so annoying it makes me gag.”

We eat our lunch
In our tiny, friendly bunch
The kid in the table next to ours begins to make a mess
Spilling his strawberry milk makes the monitors stress
The boys then began to nag
A lady with

    What do you see when you look in the mirror? Are you pleased, or do you immediately come up with an endless list of insecurities? As a child one of my favorite memories was laying around the house with my older sister on rainy days. We would leave the windows open so we could hear the rain coming down on the tin roof over our patio, while watching reruns of our favorite tv show “America's Next Top Model”. I always thought that these women were gorgeous and I would catch myself constantly comparing their looks to my own. I wanted to be just like them until I realized the unrealistic expectations that they had to live up to. A sizeable butt and breasts, but not too large; they have got to be proportional. A skinny waist, impeccable hair, blemish free face although even with clear skin you are expected to cake on makeup because no one is actually pretty without mile long eyelashes, the perfect smoky eye, and exemplary contouring. Society has idolized these things as “beautiful” and shamed the girls that do not meet these standards; however, society should be making everyone feel confident in their bodies. Girls need to know that it is okay not to have an “hourglass figure” so they don’t…

She has raised 6 kids all by herself as well as earned a Bachelor’s degree in nursing from a City College in Gainesville, Florida. My mother has been through pretty much everything a person can go through outside of war and was still able to be there and provide for all 6 of her kids. In high school, my mother wanted to play football and couldn't because she was a girl and back-in-the-day women were not allowed to play football with the guys. However, she remained strong by raising 6 kids and independently took care of all of us on her own. My mother has several qualities that I would love to develop. The first quality she has is balance; she certainly knows how to make…

    I was in at Save-A-Lot a couple of weeks ago and while I was in line to check out, I overheard a lady talk about a man that was following her on the walking path behind my house. She was talking about how this man would follow her for a couple hundred feet then stop, completely strip down, and would start performing sexual acts on himself. She said that she doesn’t feel comfortable walking on the walking path anymore. We need to take action to stop these things from happening and make the walking path safer.…

    He calls the waiter over a second time, demanding an explanation. “This is… Well, it’s just bad,” he stutters, seemingly to the utter offense of the waiter. “Your food is perfectly fine,” they again insist, despite the accusation. To this, Mallard shakes his head in resignation. Unfortunately, his voluminous afro turns what would be a serious situation into a comical one. His action was, however inadvertently, a lot like a poodle playing tug-of-war. Seeing the waiter’s stifled giggles, he realizes this, and his face turns beet red. “T-this is bad,” he says, before breaking down laughing. “You said that already,” the waiter comments, laughing as well. “Well, it seemed worth repeating,” he sassily replies, still cracking a smile. The waiter takes a deep breath, trying to gain their composure, and returns to the kitchen; this time, Mallard follows them, hoping to see exactly what is going on with the cooks. Inside, he sees unimaginable horror: the chef is duct-taped to the ceiling, screeching, while huge, sentient carrots with tree branch-like arms man the various stations, ruining the food with scum and dirt pulled from the stoop…

    Most teenagers do not have a clue about what they want to be when they grow up. Most young adults also do not know where their path is in life. Even some full-blown adults are still trying to figure out their purpose. I was lucky. I knew exactly where I belonged from about the time I was seven up until now, at the decently young age of nineteen. I do not see my path changing anytime soon; in fact, I know it will never change. But, I did not just wake up one day as a child and know what my path was, while that would be impressive. Defining moments in one’s life defines who they are. There were lots of things I experienced in my life that made me realize my purpose, my absolute passion. I had four of these defining moments in my short span of…
