Personal Narrative: My Hero's Journey
Well my hero’s journey starts off in the summer where I made my switch to LVCP, LVCP is a school in livermore california. The reason I made my switch to LVCP was due to my parents wanting me to have a better life in Livermore rather than in a Hayward school, where I would get distracted and not do my work. On Friday, August 21th, the day of Orientation, my journey began. I was enthusiastic and skittish at the time but also a little sad because i knew my summer had come to an end. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach move around as we getting closer and closer to my future high school. Finally, I had reached my destination LVCP. The first thing that popped out when I stepped foot on campus was seeing the painting in the front of the …show more content…

Feeling happy because it was my first day of high school, sad because I had no friends especially since I lived in San Lorenzo and knew nothing about Livermore or just mad because it was school. In addition to having mixed emotions I did not have any friends, thus making it worse for me.
One of my biggest challenges was making friends and the climate in LVCP. The reason it was hard for me making friends, was because I lived in San lorenzo and I went to school all the way in Livermore and knew nothing about this city. Another reason why coming to LVCP was a challenge because the climate was terrible well for me. I never thought that Livermore can go up to 100+ degrees fahrenheit and I was never used to climates with such scorching feelin. The climate in livermore one time got me sick for how hot it got. One of my biggest challenges was making friends, But yes there was something that helped me overcome that was my soccer ball by bringing it to school. The reason a soccer ball is important, being something so simple, but to my eyes is a huge part of my friendships. I was no longer shy, it helped me overcome it. I went from not making friends to me showing off my skills by doing what I love to do and that is to play

    Western and nonwestern heroes come from different regions of the world; therefore, have different cultural backgrounds. More specifically, western heroes come from the Greco-Roman or Judeo-Christian traditions. Nonwestern heroes come from other parts of the world that would not associate with these traditions. While these heroes might seem to have little in common when it comes to origin, “The Hero’s Journey” by Joseph Campbell demonstrates that all heroes have “similar patterns” (Campbell). However by examining the non-western hero, Mulan, in “The Ballad of Mulan” demonstrates how this figure is different than the hero outlined in Joseph Campbell’s “The Hero’s Journey” in the following ways, Mulan does not have any kind of “supernatural aid”, “tests that lead to the final showdown”, or a “life-changing experience for her or many others” (Campbell).…

    Throughout our lives, we all go through a fairly similar story where we start off making our own ordinary world full of predictability and comfort, that we all eventually get taken or drawn away from. Many will attempt to refuse this call to adventure, and many others will have no choice and get tossed into an unknown, difficult world. In this new world, we’ll have to go through at least one supreme ordeal, if not much more, being hindered by our own demons and by the demons of others, and getting help from allies. We'll go through various tests and learn crucial lessons from all of the mistakes we'll make along the way. This story we go through is professionally referred to as the Hero's Journey and my older brother, Preston, is a terrific…

    Hi, Karen! I'm thrilled to hear back from you! You couldn't have written back at a better time. To be honest, I'm a bit queasy about rereading that last message I wrote because of how all over the place it is and my cringeworthy grammar. If I were to reread this message in another five years might be weirded out just the same. I guess at some point you've got to accept your own quirkiness if you haven't already.…

    James is always looking for adventure. As a 5 ft 5 in, 12-year-old boy, James thought he could handle anything. Living on the miniscule island of Takeshima, Japan, James could never go further than his 123,000 square foot island that was measured by himself. Every day, after his chores were done, James would fill his precious backpack with high-tech tools that were often used by professionals during the most perilous of adventures. Then he would walk out of his house and travel every square inch of the island to see that nothing had changed and that there were no secret passages to any new land. Every day James would face the disappointment of not having his own grand adventure. It was a sad life.…

    U.S. Was one of the greatest experience. You see my Background has a history, which I myself was clueless about. At the age of three my mother was searching for freedom for a better life. My father was arrested and my mother left two month pregnant with an unborn child. The connection was lost and life continued. That unborn child was me. I can imagine what she was to do or how she felt. God definitely had hands on me Jeremiah 29:11.…
