Personal Narrative: I Grew Up Here
Chapter Six
I Grew Up Here I’ve lived in a lot of places since I was born. My first home that I can remember is the red house. I don’t know where it was, but I called it the red house. The red house had a red roof, it was one story, and I had an awesome room. I had a large bed, and it had a Disney princess bed comforter, a canopy, and was the best trampoline I ever had. The kitchen was like a hallway, it was narrow and long. My memory of the red house is very vague. I remember the day the movers came. They dismantled my princess bed. We packed our bags and moved to the country of Costa Rica. There, there was a tile floor, and a nice kitchen. I shared a room with my brother. I remember that I spent a lot of time in the backyard. We never went outside except for trips,

Chapter Eight
My Favorite Teacher
Over the years I’ve had a lot of teachers. My favorite teacher that I’ve had is Ms. Hannafee. Ms. Hannafee was the science teacher at my Elementary School, Donlon Elementary. All grades have Ms. Hannafee, so I had her for a total of five years.
It is because of Ms. Hannafee that I have an interest in science. I remember the science textbooks always being boring, but once a week we would go to the science lab. In science, we would participate in a lab.
One of my favorite labs was the owl pellet dissection. Owl pellets are owl throw up. In owl pellets you can find the bones of animals the owl consumed. In this lab we were to take out the bones we found in the pellet and construct the animal we found inside. Most people, like me, had a sort of rodent, but some people found birds in their pellet.
Another one of my favorite things we did in science was the Sharpie tie dye lab in fifth grade. We did this lab on one of the last few days of elementary school. In this lab (it’s not really a lab) we brought cotton white T-shirts and drew pictures in sharpey and sprayed rubbing alcohol to make them blur (it looked really

    When you complete them, you will be very proud of yourself and will wonder why you were ever afraid of the “S” word – Science! After their first science course most students say they thoroughly enjoyed it, learned a lot of useful information relevant to their personal lives and careers, and only regret not having studied science sooner. Science is not some mystery subject comprehended only by eggheads. Science is simply a way of learning about our natural world and how it works by testing ideas and making observations. Learning about the characteristics of the natural world, how those characteristics change, and how those characteristics interact with each other make it easier to understand ourselves and our physical environment and to make the multitude of personal and global decisions that affect our lives and our planet. Plus, science credits on an academic transcript are impressive, and your science knowledge may create some unique job opportunities. All sciences revolve around the study of natural phenomena and require hands-on physical laboratory experiences to permit and encourage personal observations, discovery, creativity, and genuine learning. As increasing numbers of students embrace online and independent study courses, laboratory experiences must remain an integral part of science education. This lab manual’s author and publisher are science educators who welcome electronic technology as an effective tool to expand and…

Her name is Colleen Biszewski and was my 7th and 8th grade math and science teacher at Queen of Martyrs School. Not only did Mrs. Biszewski prepare us academically, but she helped us practice good Christian values. In addition, she was accessible for all students, treating everyone with fairness.…

    During that time we lived in a studio in my grandpas house. The school i attended at the time was Dwight eisenhower elementary. Everyone thought i was a genius because i got 4 diplomas at the trimester awards while everyone got two or one. What i remember the most from living with my grandpa was every weekend he used to knock at our door at 7 am just to come talk to us. It was annoying because he wouldn't stop until we opened the door. He was always so eager to spend time with his grandkid. It was nice being the only child,but then came 2006 and i was no longer the queen of the house. Before i knew it in 2008 we had another package included into my family. Our family was growing rapidly so my parents decided to move out into a much bigger house, which is where i live today. I moved to a new school called carrillo ranch elementary. Everything was pretty smooth, no worries, no stress, and easy going such as in the beginning of a roller…

    When I was about eight years old I found out we were moving. The walls seemed to have come crashing in. What? Moving? I remember being devastated beyond repair, knowing that our yard and our neighborhood that I loved so dearly didn’t have a spot in my future. Secretly excited about the new place, I couldn’t wait to move in. A few months of packing and storing went by and we moved into the new house. An apartment?…

    It was a ferociously gloomy day in the heart of Center City. The time of the observation was from 11:43 am to 12:43pm. Sandwiched between 15th street and John F. Kennedy Boulevard is the Philadelphia's Municipal Services Building and within the plaza of the building lies Board Game Park. Even in the rain, the park was festive. Upon arriving, it began to drizzle. The drizzle was light enough for me to sit by a statue that was composed of multiple bodies piled on top of one another. The noises heard ranged from rain dropping, to horns honking to people laughing or shouting. In the surrounding area of the Board Game Park is Love Park with its remarkable LOVE sculpture and fountain, which was spewing pink water in support of Breast Cancer Awareness…

    It all started on a Saturday morning. I used to hate basketball so much, but my dad woke me u saying that I had basket ball the next day. I was so furious but it was morning so I thought i was dreaming. Once I found out it was real and not a nightmare I ignored my dad which only lasted for about 30 minutes. Me being the 6 year old I was I couldn't ignore my parents or hold a grudge for long. My parents drove me to Nike Outlet and got me my basketball shoes and my black and pink elite socks. I have to admit the best part was picking out the shoes. Still to this day I remember them. They were black and pink nike hyper dunks. My dad let me keep the shoes if I went to the practice. I was only 6 so I thought it was unfair but I made the choice to keep them.…

    Childhood Memoir

    It was a small three-bedroom brick house, with six of us living in it. I was just a baby then, but I do remember certain things about that house. We had a dog that lived on the front porch, and my sister had a cat. The girls and the boys each shared a room, and my mother had the third, which was rarely used, and again I was young so I don’t quite remember everything. My mother usually slept on the couch though, at least that’s what I do remember, and I’m not really sure what the third bedroom was for. I don’t have many memories of either of my parents in the house on Burdeno Street, but as I told you before, I was just a baby. I’m not sure how long we lived in that house, but as a young child I do remember the next-door neighbors.…
