Personal Narrative: My School Mascots
For the last 4 years of high school I have been my school's mascot. It has shaped me in many different ways. Our mascot is Seymour Mule and his partner Annie Mule. We are Woodrow Wilson Senior High "Home of the Mighty Mules." Being a school mascot isn't something you exactly plan to do during your high school years. But somehow I managed to do it and love it more than anything. I didn't exactly choose to be our mascot, it happened due to luck.
One day during my freshman year we had a practice fire drill. Being a 9th grader I didn't quite know anybody at the moment other than my sister, her friends, and my boyfriend of that time. We were outside on the football field and I was bored so I went to look for my boyfriend. As I was looking for him

    Personal Narrative: My View Of The Hokie Spirit

    Being a community, network, and family details my view of the “Hokie Spirit.” At Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VT), I am certain that there is overwhelming support from professors and students because of the unique atmosphere I perceived when touring. While walking around the brick buildings, I felt as if all students knew each other, or that each of them had something in common. This aspect that every person who strode pass me entailed, was pride or “Hokie Spirit.” I could sense the fulfillment each individual had for attending one of the top public schools in the United States, and because of this, “Hokie Spirit” flourishes throughout the campus.…

    Personal Narrative: Unity High School

    When I started Unity High School I thought that we were going to get a lot of work from my classes, and that work was going to be extremely hard. I also thought that I wasn't going to have any free time to do anything because of that, but it turned out to be wrong because the teachers give us a good amount of work but its not really hard. I thought that making friends in Unity would be hard in a sort of way but it was quit easy because everyone else was trying to make friends too. When I first got to Unity I also thought that there was going to be a few school clubs, but there is a good amount of clubs that students can join if they want to join some type of club. I think as a person I have grown more since first coming to Unity because I…

    Native American Mascots Essay

    In mostly all sports, the teams use mascots to show their teams strength and pride. The mascots are used as a factor of intimidation and also as a team motivator. Mascots can range from the fiercest animals to the smallest inanimate object. Mascots in general never fall under scrutiny except for the ones that that represent the Native Americans, tribes or cultures. The idea of having related names to the Native Americans seems respectful and honorable for most of the society as it is a tribute to the Indians that have arrived at this country first. The other side of society finds it degrading and racist to call the teams these names, but in reality, it is showing respect and honor for their culture.…

Now, standing at the top, I look behind me at the amazing challenge that I have just conquered.

One hardship I have faced, was my sports injuries during high school. My junior year track season started off being the best experience i’ve had. Unfortunately, this time was cut short. I ripped a ligament in my leg ending my entire spring season. I was angry at the world asking, “why me”. However, I knew I still had a team depending on me. Day in, and day out, I would show up to practice…

    The game took place on a cold, November afternoon in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It was the last game of the tournament and we, the CBS Falcons, faced the Red Dogs in the championship game. We were confident about our chances of victory; however, our confidence was quickly put to the test when we first saw the other team.

    Personal Narrative: The Game That Changed My Life

    In seventh grade I wanted to tryout for volleyball. I was very nervous because I had never played it before. I was super happy when I found out all my friends and I made the team. We had a lot of practices in December to get ready for games in January. I was really nervous for our first game. Our first game was supposed to be right after christmas break ended, but we had a snow day so it was cancelled. I wished it hadn’t been so I could just get it over with, but i was gonna have to wait. We were scheduled for another game later that week. I woke up with a phone ringing and an answering machine saying that school was cancelled due to boiler issues. I sat in bed thinking I had once again gotten lucky and we had no game, I was wrong. We were…

    Personal Narrative On College Football

    Gazing across the lush field I lay my eyes on an enthusiastic crowd. Emotional chants rise from their voices but are immediately silenced from my hearing as the referee whistles the ball into play. I bend down to get into my stance, one hand down with my middle fingers balancing me into a running back stance. I feel the sweat dripping down my face and into my eyes causing a sizzling pain that brings my head back into the game. I knew it was only a matter of time, despite that it was only halfway through the third quarter. I had to make the most of the time I had left.…

    Personal Narrative: Northeast Middle School Football

    Good Evening Mr. Forrest, this is Sean Anderson. I wanted to send this report involving the girl's basketball coach from Northeast Middle School. Me and Jason Collins were the officials at West Creek Middle School vs Northeast Middle School. The games started at 4:45. During the second game, which was the girl's basketball game, my partner Jason Collins made a ruling against Northeast in the 4th quarter. The girl's head coach did not like the ruling and venting her frustrations toward us. She screamed" her player was not there for the foul". While I was administering the free throws I heard her screaming and gave her the stop sign signal and told her ok that's enough. I didn't administer no technical foul even though she continue…
