Personal Narrative: Girls On The Run
If you don't know this already about me I love a couple things:
#1. Kids
#2. Working out
#3. Adrenline and doing some crazy things.

So why not put all those three things together and sign up to run the Chicago Marathon?! I'm fundraising $1,500 for Girls on the Run. Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity based positive youth development program for girls in 3rd through 8th grade. This program teaches life skills through dynamic interactive lessons and running games. Girls need the empowerment and self esteem to believe that whatever they set their mind to they can do it. I'm an example of that myself. All through elementary-high school I was the most unathletic girl I knew of. I decided in 2015 to sign up for a marathon.

    People from the community and surrounding areas could welcome the chance to pull together and host a Christmas feast and auction. Dinners could be purchased at a nominal fee for individuals and families. Businesses from the area could be encouraged to join in and support the cause by donating items to auction after dinner and then we could hold a Christmas dance. Getting a local news personality to come in as auctioneer would definitely buy the event some mention on our local stations resulting in advertising the event.

    Alice Goffman's On The Run: Fugitive Life In An American City

    The author Alice Goffman does a remarkable job with the details and really goes above and beyond to understand the subjects at hand. Goffman’s motivation for her study on the fugitive life in Philadelphia caught my attention right from the start. On the Run serves as a kind on eye opener for the war on drugs in the United States. The war on drugs was aimed mostly at young African American men. This destroyed any trust between residents of an urban community and African American’s, especially young men. People that lived in an urban communities felt as if young African American men were just out on the street dealing drugs and causing trouble. This is all because of how the media has us portray young African American men.…

    Personal Narrative-Lost In Transition: A Girl's Attempt

    “I can’t believe I’m doing this” I mutter into my wooly scarf. It’s 4 o’clock in the afternoon and the weather reads ten degrees Fahrenheit. I shift my weight and try to get into a more comfortable squatting position as the rocks dig into my boots. I look around; it’s a rather dreary day with no clouds in sight. I scribble in a notepad. Five minutes in and my hands are numb.…

    Personal Narrative: Trinity Thompson

    One time when I challenged my own beliefs, I questioned my own skills. It was one of the most crushing and confusing moments of my life. I was indecisive, hesitant, and most certainly doubtful. I couldn’t even imagine myself, an inexperienced sophomore, working in a career major that I’ve never even thought of doing in the first place.…

    Personal Narrative: The Boys And Girls Club Of America

    The Boys and Girls Club of America helps thousands of Americans each year as a daycare, escape from home, way to meet new friends or to eat a sustainable meal that they wouldn’t be able to get at home. Another way that the Boys and Girls Club benefits kids is by having organized sports where the players can develop competitiveness, teamwork and become coachable. As someone who volunteers at the Boys and Girls Club I am able to experience all of the good that goes on both within and outside of business hours. As I wrap up my high school career and go on to the next stage in my life I often find myself looking back at not only those who helped shaped me into the person I am today but also the extracurricular activities I participated in. The Boys and Girls Club is one thing that continually pops into my head with the activities I partook in as well as the children and adults alike, without these experiences I would not have devolved my love for basketball, been so willing to give back to the community, or have been showed the do’s and don’ts of parenting.…

    On Tuesday, March fifteenth I attended the Women's Refugee Experience. There we heard from the women refugees living in southwest Ohio.

Although learning about their experiences there was one major conflict at the event which was the language barrier.…

    Personal Narrative: Being A Young Black Girl

    Out of all experiences I've had, the one that has been meaningful to me is taking my last yearbook pictures for my senior year. I wasn't taking pictures for a mugshot and a crime scene photographer wasn’t taking pictures of my lifeless body. I reached a milestone in my life that many people told me I couldn’t achieve. Though I hadn’t walked across the stage for graduation yet, it felt good to do something that many people told me I wouldn’t ever experience being a young black girl in America. The reason why this specific moment was meaningful to me is because it made me think about the many people my age who never got to experience this; the feeling of being ALMOST done with high school. I could've been like many African American people my…

    Personal Narrative: Where The Sidewalk Ends

    I always keep this poem and picture in my wallet. I take it everywhere with me because it means quite a lot to me in two very different ways. One of those ways is because it holds sentimental value. When I was younger I learned to read very late in life and I was always so embarrassed of that. My father knew that I was struggling and bought me the book, Where the Sidewalk Ends. It is a book full of poems and little pictures written by Shel Silverstein. I remember opening the book to ta random page, and it was the page with this poem. I then remember my dad asking me to read it to him. I was so uncomfortable, even thought I was just going to be reading to my dad. He gave me some words of encouragement, and even thought I was not able to read…
