Personal Narrative-Hi, I M Alex Venable
Hi, I’m Alex Venable. One thing that I fear are alligators or crocodiles. When I was little I always enjoyed watching this TV show that had two guys that would feed and wrestle alligators. One night the show wasn’t on so we did some research and found out why it wasn’t on. One of the guys had an accident and lost one of his hands. Following this event, they ended up shutting the show down because he was going to be unable to return and his co-host decided to quit the show also. This then caused me to have an irrational fear for alligators. My dad is the reason why I love cars. He has taught me everything I know and continues to introduce me to new things and experiences. We enjoy spending time together by doing at home work projects such as

    Alex had always loved this type of weather, it was the very best thing about Queensland. It was a pressing heat, dry yet humid. It was a warmth you could feel in every area of your body. A pressure that only meant one thing, an incoming storm that would arrive late in the evening. It was the best time to be outside; the best time to swim, to play football, to sun bathe. Things Alex longed to be doing, things that she would be doing, that is if she was not incarcerated inside a saunaesque - filled to the brim with seventeen year old male body odour - classroom, reading an inarticulate book she wasn't even sure the author of the book would read.…

    Here I am in honor classes, but why I’m not smart enough to be here. This is going to be too difficult for me. All I see when I look around are all these outstandingly intelligent people. The only reason I am here is because Mrs. Lee’s class was straightforward or maybe the other people in that class were not very bright. Whatever the reason, I am here and already homework on the first day of school, the other kids probably don’t have homework. I really don’t want to be here, I want to be the smart one again. I feel strange and uncomfortable when I have to speak out loud like if the people around me are judging me.…

    Hi, I’m Morgan Heffelfinger. My favorite quote is said by Larry Bird, “Push yourself again and again. Don’t give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.” I chose it because it’s encouraging and reminds me to never give up until the end. I will always remember this quote because L was said in one of my favorite movies, Grown Ups.…

    My mother, “Regina Hopkins,” has been a positive influence in my life. 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…

    My story beings like any other, at the moment I took my first breath on July 30th 1998 in Bilisht, Albania. I was born in a small town in the lower region of Albania where my entire family lived with my grandparents under one household. My parents soon came to the realization that the current living situation was incongruous for a new family, such as ours, to thrive. As the result, my parents chose to apply for the government program granting our family access to move into a completely new society with new laws, regulations, political aspects and that was tens of thousands of miles away. Our family, at that instant, had a struck of luck as my mother’s name was drawn for us to move to the greatest country the United States of America.…

    The advice that was given to me about writing my personal statement is that whatever I wrote, it must be a statement that came directly from the heart. I’ve found that in order to do this, I must actually write about my heart. When I was born, doctors discovered that I had a ventricular septal defect. The defect needed to be repaired, or I would have been wheelchair-bound and not lived past my fifth birthday. The experience of my heart surgery was not only life-altering for me, but for my parents as well. I was their first-born child, and they had just purchased their first home. It is hard enough to learn the ropes of becoming a parent - but to be the parents to a very ill child was something they had never prepared for. They always…

    Growing up with divorced parents from two radically different cultures was at first difficult. My mother’s family was from Peru, while my father’s was from Bangladesh. In my young mind, there was an internal struggle with what my identity actually consisted of. I wasn’t wholly from one culture or the other, and felt like a black sheep when interacting with either side of my family. Due to this, I attempted to keep these cultures partitioned. At the time, they were different portions of my life that simply couldn’t intermix. This mentality in turn led me to foolishly shy away from my joint heritage. I kept myself enclosed in a box, blind to the beauty of my surrounding culture. However, as time progressed, I knew I had to make a change in my understanding.…

    It was a perfectly normal Saturday night, until I sat on the couch. I expected to enjoy a funny movie with my dad, but instead I got a trip to the hospital. I sat on the couch, and then I felt a sting in my elbow. At first, it felt like I got a shot at the doctor, but it slowly got worse, and felt more like a knife slicing into my elbow. I winced and sprung up from the couch. I squinted and my eyes scanned the spot where I just sat down. Aha, I thought. There was a small piece of plastic, and it looked like it broke off from a container.…

    Hi, I’m Guthrie. In the early years of my life, I was stubborn and often didn’t listen to authority. Before I came to Fairhaven I went to Mt Rainier Elementary and got into trouble in class for a range of things like leaving my seat and not doing my worksheets, so I repeatedly got sent to the counselor's office, She tried to use boredom make me behave in class. When I would get sent to her office I would sit there for hours and sometimes the rest of the day. My parents told me the school was going to label me with willful defiance disorder, I’m not sure that is the exact term, but a family friend in the public school system warned them that getting categorized as such would not be good. So I came to Fairhaven for a visiting week. I was initially…

    One of my greatest fear’s are spiders and snakes, because I think they're so gross with their eight creepy crawling legs and their big eyes and slithery bodies.

    Hannah Jones is my third interviewee and she is an immigration caseworker. She welcomes me into her office. Her office is very stuffy, and clients’ files are sprawled all over her desk. The curtains are partly drawn, allowing only a bit of light into the tiny room. She is however very presentable; hair pulled back into a ponytail. She starts tapping her fingers on the table as soon as we get seated, and I start my interview right away. “How long have you worked in the immigration department. Are there are any problems that you have encountered in your office?” She leans back in her tiny seat, and she is quiet for about a minute. “I have worked in my cramped up office, as you can see, for nearly a decade." It takes me by shock as she does not…

    I didn’t really like my name growing up. It didnt mean anything to me. No one had the same name, other than people in older generations. My name made me feel like an old lady. People would also assume that i went by Kathy, and i hated being called Kathy more than anything else. Kathleen is my dad’s cousin’s name. I didn’t really know her, and still don’t. If i knew her better, i feel like i would’ve been more comfortable with my name knowing who it came from.…
