Personal Narrative-Goin's To Grandma
The birds sang their little morning songs as I walked down our paved road. The sun had just come out and I could see where it glistened through the tall oak trees onto the road. Although I was just a little girl, I had walked this path so many times, I could have done it blindfolded. A half a mile away was my home away from home- my Nanny's house. I toted my red, leather suitcase that read: "Goin' to Grandma's." I played all day, and as the day passed I think she always knew what was coming. "Nanny, can I spend the night with you?" How could she say "no"? To me, nothing was better than sleeping in a king-sized bed right in between Nanny and Papa. I would always avoid sleep by making my prayers last as long as possible, asking God to bless

On today, while out seeing my client Marshall, his grandmother became upset because after having a discussion about who should be the overseer of Marshall’s disability check.

    Personal Narrative: My Grandma's Progression Through Later Adulthood

    As people continue to age, they will eventually become “elderly” and enter into the later adulthood stage of life. Elderly people have more time to reflect upon their lives and that’s perhaps why they enter into Erickson’s socioemotional ego integrity versus despair stage. Basically, what defines this stage is that old people will either be within ego integrity and have a positive or accepting nature of their life, including mistakes or they will despair and have a negative outlook on their life full of regrets and should haves that can’t be changed (Arnett, 2012). What this means is that most elderly people will be socioemotionally content or fuel potential anguish which can influence their outlook of life as a whole. Arnett goes on to say that “The physical and cognitive problems that become more common in the course of late adulthood…

    Otis Shemloh: A Short Story

    As we rode along, I watched the skyscrapers turn into trees, and the sidewalks turn into grass. We went from urban to rural in an hour. During the ride, I thought about my career as a writer, and how earlier that day I was talking aloud to my interactive voice typewriter. I could not come up with anything noteworthy, so I left my house out of frustration. I was headed to a park for inspiration when I ran into Otis.…

    Descriptive Essay: A Concert In Nashville

    One very long month later, everyone's bags were packed and we was off to Tennessee! After five lengthy hours and passing through a time zone, I spotted the breathtaking view of Nashville. As we entered our hotels parking lot, I got out of the car and stared in awe of all the bright colorful lights and building against the dark night sky. It was stunning. My family and I walked into the hotel to be greeted by a welcoming smile from the lady behind the desk. We got our room keys and went to out room. It was decorated with pictures of guitars and a warm welcoming goldish yellow wallpaper. Although it was already nine o'clock, our night had just began.…

    My Trip To Galveston Beach

    We continued to drive for about thirty more minutes, and I soon realized that we were getting close to the beach. I could smell the salt in the cool breeze of air from my window. It was mixed with the sweet fragrance of food from the boardwalk. When we arrived at our destination, my father checked us into our rooms at the Silver Leaf Resort. I really wasn’t paying too much attention to my surroundings, because I was bursting with excitement wanting to go to the beach. I begged my mother and father till I turned blue saying “please can we go to the beach now.” “Pretty please with sure on top.” My father just looked at me with that solemn face he always has and said “yes, baby girl we can unpack later.” “Now let’s head to the beach.” I screamed like a banshee with excitement and ran to the room and changed into my swim wear. I grabbed my maroon beach towel with my pale and shovel, and my mini purse that contained my shades, bubbles, and sun screen.…

We had a map and when dad said he was just going to peek if the river was nearby, as indicated on the map, I saw something and ran after it. I ran till my lungs burnt and finally came to a sudden stop. I looked around in horror for my daddy but he was now where to be found. After minutes of searching, which felt like hours, the sun said good bye and the night sky greeted with a very chilly, thin wind.…

    My relationship with nature

    There was a yard lies outside of the door gate. Our family owns two pomegranate trees and a toona tree whose leaves are edible and delicious. Every autumn, my favorite activity is to climb the trees to pick those fresh, juicy pomegranates and the buds of toons. In addition to the trees, there is a beautiful park that is only a ten minute walk. Each summer, I went fishing in the river in the park with my neighbors and then cooked the fish and shrimp for dinner. While I ate, I came to understand that nature that provides essential foods to human life and I really appreciated that.…
