Personal Narrative: My Body
Splat! Another body has hit the cement not too far away from me. Experiencing something like this would by far traumatize me. The sound of someone’s body splattering all over right in front of me is just absurd. My body would be in shock and I wouldn’t even be able to move. I’d stand there empty of words, no thought process, and not know what to do. Consequently, if I can’t think straight I’m most likely going to freak out and eventually it’d lead to me crying in horror, disgust, and fear. If the conditions in the building are so bad that people are jumping to their death is preposterous. No one should ever have to experience something that horrible, ever.

    It sounds very boring to live my life in the same way every single day. Wake up. Go to work. Come home. Go to bed. The idea of living in someone else’s body every single day sounds adventurous and exciting to me because I would never know whose body I will be in. Even before reading this book, I always wondered what it would be like to be someone else, to experience what s/he’s experiencing, and to feel her/his emotions. The fact that I will be in different places, meeting different people, experiencing different cultures, and living a life that I might never have thought of makes me want to be the main character of the book.…

    I had been overweight since my early teens, as time passed it continued to worsen. at the age of 15 I was on the brink of obesity; I had to decide a change in my life. My life had consisted of school and video games; these combined had led me to an unhealthy lifestyle. I had dedicated years into my video game hobby, but this was the least active of my time. My hobby had to go, a new hobby had emerged: bodybuilding. Bodybuilding had given me a satisfaction that my previous hobby did not give, the satisfaction of working; that patience and efforts lead to greater satisfaction than momentary things like video…

    Time is winding down and the past thirty nine weeks has been nothing short but amazing. It has been full of different emotions and feelings. From the stretching of the skin to the sudden movement I have never felt before. It was all a new experience, but the feeling was indescribable.

    End of life decisions can cause people to make choices they would not normally choose. People begin to reflect on their lives, remembering the good and the bad. I believe one wish when facing death that most people have is they do not want to suffer. They also do not want their family to watch them suffer. I think that physician assisted suicide may be a consideration in some extreme cases where pain cannot be controlled with medications or when the patient is comatose and will never regain consciousness. Many people believe that physician assisted suicide is unethical because it is viewed as murder. Those who view physician assisted suicide as unethical also feel that no one, even a physician has the right to assist anyone with suicide.…

Starting on the project Alicia told me a little a bit about her heritage.

Alicia said that they do celebrate it to some extent. They don’t actually go to a grave site and light candles for their fallen relatives, but instead have a feast in honor of them.
