Personal Narrative: My Journey Back To America
I believe I began to mature during my trip back to the place I used to call home during my sevenths grade summer vacation. I remember on that day we were heading to visit my uncle. My father was driving, my brother was playing in his new portable handheld device, my sister was on her phone, and I was just watching the terrain pass by. Everyone was great, except for the fact that I would have rather been back home in America.
My brother’s gaming device ran out battery so he started to look out the window with me. My brother then noticed two kids playing on the street naked with just their underwear on. My brother started to laugh as we passed them because he thought they were being stupid. My brother did not know why they the kids were naked,

    Personal Narrative: My Culture In America

    This connection that I have with my mother is a dime a dozen if you look at our entirely culture here in America. Less and less families these days actually cook or sit down to eat a meal together which has left many Americans searching for something they have lost. This lost feeling is being capitalized on by television networks by the vast amount of cooking and food related shows that are being broadcasted. Frank Bruni asks in “An Experts Theory of Food Television Appeal”, “For these young people, does the televised cooking have have the appeal of a missive from a lost utopia” (Bruni 111)? I believe he hit the proverbial nail right on the head with this line of questioning and he couldn't be more correct. Young adults who lead busy lives,…

    Personal Narrative: My Journey To America

    Let me start off with my mother's journey to America. It was 1985 when her parents decided it was time for a fresh start. It was very difficult to come to America legally, so they made their journey by traveling to other countries. They left Cuba and traveled to Spain where my grandfather found a job as a farmer. They lived in Spain for almost 2 years before they gathered enough resources to travel to Mexico. The journey from Mexico to the USA was very easy for them because they had a family member who knew their way around. They struggled for many years in America but soon became legal citizens. My mother later on went to college and completed her bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Miami. My grandparents purchased the…

    Personal Narrative: Coming To America

    America, land of the free and home of the brave, a country strengthened with rights, equality, and justice. For Americans it’s just a regular country, with regular rules and laws, nothing special about it. Although, to immigrants it’s a country to reinterpret their lives, a better life, a life where they’re free to pursue their happiness and follow their dreams. Even though America is a great country, adjusting to a new culture isn’t easy. It took patience, support, understanding, and passion in order for me to balance two different cultures.…

    Originally, my family and I are from the Philippines. Moving to the United States was quite tough on us all for several reasons. The main reason is that my family is poor. My parents, who have to support my six siblings and me, have a much more difficult and even gruesome time, but still, they manage to ensure that our family is able to survive and that we are receiving our proper education. My parents, wanting all of us to have a secured future, agreed that staying in the Philippines would get us nowhere. So, they decided that our family would migrate to the United States.…

    Personal Narrative: Moving To America

    One day nearly two years ago, I came back from the worst trip and experience ever in my life. Three years ago, my family made the biggest decision of our lifetime together and we had decided to move. Now the fact that we were moving didn’t bother me or my little sister, it was just the simple fact that we were moving from our home that we had grown up in our entire life. The only problem was the fact that we had eventually found out that we were going to move to Oregon. This Alabama home that we grew up in was very special to me and my sister but it wasn’t the one of best of places. We had lived right beside our grandparents and we loved to go up the hill and see them and us moving had rendered that possibility from happening any longer.…

    Personal Narrative: The American Identity

    Samuel, I really enjoyed your post as I like hearing about other people’s family history since mine is so diverse. With your skin tone, eyes, and hair I can see why someone may say you look Hispanic. At least you take it in stride. Today, too many people get offended when someone calls them the wrong race or ethnic origin. It is really good that you continue your family’s tradition of cooking Greek and Italian dishes and I hope your children continue that. My family has been in this country so long and has so many nationalities in the mix that we have Southern traditions instead of a specific country. I do enjoy researching my family’s history. I do not have anyone famous in my family so far, but my great-great grandfather, Private John Henry Gwathney, did manage to survive the Civil War while serving under General Nathan Bedford Forrest.…
