Personal Narrative Essay: General Patton's Museum
The sun hadn't yet managed to wake up, but we had. Our family had already been in the frigid road for an hour before the sun managed to wake. Three oblivious kids in the car, not knowing where they were going and were woken up early was not a good mix, but we were to curious to figure out where we were going to care. We soon crossed the California border and our imaginations had gone to work thinking of every possibility, then my parents told their secret; we were going to explore General Patton’s museum. To put in simply, we were not amused nor quite excited. But we soon realized our car didn't stop and we drove past Patton’s museum: the car got further and further from the decoy location. We then drove past a sign that read; Tour USS Iowa

    Upon our arrival at 8 AM, we met with Monique Lisa Dominguez who showed us around, and provided us with an office where we could leave our belongings. After setting up, my partner David and I approached the few people who were already in the room. We had the opportunity to educate parents ( both male and female) and pregnant women on the differences between the cold and the flu as well as on the importance of getting the flu shot. We stayed there until 11:15 AM , and we are planning on to being there around the same time for the remaining of the quarter. The only issue we encountered was the fact that many of the people there were Spanish speakers. David was able to manage most of the conversations, but he was not…

    In the colonial United States up to seventeen hundred, most of the settlers inhabiting the land happened to be of English origin. Although, they came from the same whereabouts, the two poles of the colonies, north and south, developed two distinct societies. For example, in the New England area the settlers developed an egalitarian, unified, and organized atmosphere, while in the Chesapeake region residents created an aristocratic, unloyal, and scattered environment. But, if they are of the same origin, how did they develop such divergent societies? This difference was a result of opposite immigration and settlement patterns, and motives.…

    I was too inexperienced for the First War. I’m in the trenches between the borders of France and Germany. There were many soldiers lying dead on there. It was so wet, moist, and muddy that I saw many of them with necrosis and gangrene on their feet, due to keeping their foot on the trench’s filthy water. They said that this condition was so painful and agonizing that they were forced to amputate them to end the pain. Luckily, I wasn’t many of the soldiers with this infection. I hope you guys are okay, I might come back home alive til the war ends. Love you mom and…

Soldier Field seemed like a dragon, just engulfing everyone who was spectating the Mexico vs Bosnia game on May 2011. When I first laid eyes on the monstrosity, I was very intimidated. The thought of entering this behemoth marveled me and made me even more excited to enter and watch the Mexico soccer game that I was anxiously waiting for! Chicago itself is a marvelous city with hidden gems scattered throughout, like Soldier Field. The cold air of Lake Michigan stung my skin and felt like shards of ice piercing my body. Soldier Field, in Chicago, is a monstrosity of a place. Going there to watch a Mexico soccer game was like going into the eye of a storm.…
