Personal Narrative: My Shabbat Of The Year
Shabbat is defined as a festive day when Jews exercise their freedom from the regular labors of everyday life. Spring break was my Shabbat of the year. Throughout the year, I stress and worry day and night about school and other responsibilities, but over Spring Break I was able to disconnect myself from school, responsibilities, and electronics, and focused on spending quality time with family and close friends.
I started my break on a plane to Tallahassee. I stepped onto the plane with a negative attitude because I was waiting to go to the Keys. My family went to Tallahassee for my great grandmothers 100th birthday. Although it is a big accomplishment, I honestly just wanted to lay on the beach and hang out with my cousins. The airport

    It was a bright sunny Wednesday afternoon and I was walking towards my car. I got out of class early and was heading home to get myself ready to spend time with my bright and intelligent students. Sometimes when I get out of class my body feels overwhelmed and tired. Perhaps it feels this way because of all the things that are going on in my life like family, friendship, relationship, community service, and homework assignments. I feel like I am very busy that I often do not have time for myself. However when I arrived to El Jardin that quickly changes. The students that I work with on Wednesday fill my life with positive attitude and energy that I often forget about the worries and stress that I encounter during the day. I really love my Wednesday shift more than my Tuesday shift because I have a stronger connection and attachment towards the two girls that I work with. On Wednesday’s, I work with two bright and intelligent 6th grade girls named Arisa and Janet. Both of them have special qualities and a sweet kind heart.…

    To start this all off, I was informed by my father that his side of the family was pure Vietnamese. On my mother’s side, if I recall correctly or at least what my mother tells me is that my great grandfather was Chinese which means that I am technically part Chinese. However, my parents really never talk about my ancestors so I would not know whether the facts were true or not. The most I know about them is that we have days where we would “lay food out for them” to celebrate their birthday and whatnots. My family could technically be considered a religious family. Even though we don’t go to the temple every single week, we actually celebrate all of the Asian holidays, especially Lunar New Year. Lunar New Year is extremely important to our…

    Rotation Day 8 today I’m in processing it was a slower day than yesterday so the processer had me help with a few things. They also asked me if I could go with a phlebotomist to drop some blood to the Operation room. When we got there I noticed read lines on the floor meaning we could not pass until we had full gowns. We waited to see if there was someone we could flag since there was no one in the front office. A person came in and we told her we had a delivery she took it and we left. When we got back they had a request to draw a patient in the SSI department I didn’t know where this was so the phlebotomist asked if I wanted to go check it out so I went. I didn’t know it we had to drive since it was in another location. We went in and the patient was in the recovery room she was alert at the moment and recognized the phlebotomist right away.…

    The feel of 80 degree temperature, the sound of splashing water, and a super long car ride? Everything but the car ride was awesome! On my spring break this year we took a very long and boring car trip down to Arizona. It was a 18+ hour car trip just going there! I mostly slept and read the way there. First, we visited Arizona state and Arizona University. Then, we stayed at my Grandma and Grandpa’s house. But, what I mostly liked about my spring break was in Arizona there was 80-90 degree temperatures!…

    Something I wanted to do this summer was sleep more. If I would have slept more I would’ve been happier. I also wish I could have spent the night at my aunts and uncles house more. I wish I could’ve tanned more also. I wish I could’ve played, hiked and swam more.…

    Today was the day. The big day. My election for Lieutenant Governor of Division 2B for Key Club, an international service club, was today. Fear and anxiety pricked my skin in rapid movements emanating from every pore. I rehearsed my speech for the fifth time that day. Upon arrival at the Fairfax Library, I urged myself to remain calm. I quickly scouted out the other girls who were present; one girl was dressed professionally with a folder in her hand. I knew that was my competition. The girl spoke eloquently and genially, she radiated enthusiasm and a certain warmth that I did not have. With every question that was asked, she answered with a smooth smile and high-pitched tone that was dripping with sincerity. I bristled inside; I had just been slapped. I was shrouded in a cloud of anxiety and anxiousness. Suddenly, I was dragged from my reverie.…

    The first time in my life that I ever experienced true anger and fear was in the sixth grade. A little before Thanksgiving Break, I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a type of skin cancer, in my lower back. I had a mole there that was removed earlier that year, and the test results on it had come back positive. I did not find out until later, but when my mom sat me down across from her to talk, I knew something was wrong. It was then that she told me what was going on, and I broke down in tears. I had never experienced fear such as I did then.…

    First cold of the school year not that bad right? But over fall break I gained my focus back and I am “beating” myself up for not doing my homework but at least I got my basement, soon to be room painted. The bad thing about colds is they are like a roller coaster you feel fine one minute and the next you feel like your “dying”. This is not how I wanted my week back from an overwhelming and stressful break. This had made me think about what we discussed about in spiritual formation about the Sabbath. I have grown up and even taught what the Sabbath was, but as I get older I realize how important it is to take a break and relax at least once a week. I mean God would not have made it if we did not need it. I am beginning to come to terms with…

    Throughout the past year I have endured several life changing occurances. One of my family members troubled through the treturous stages of cancer and unfortunately has passed at this time. If I have taken anything away from this, it is that family is the most important resource in a persons life. Without those people who tell you that you can, regardless of the circumstances, becoming succesful could be very challenging. After clearing my head, I was able to start thinking of a career choice that would make me enjoy going to work. I encountered an opening at a local CVS/Pharmacy as a Pharmacy Technician and applied. After being hired, I immediately fell in love with the surroundings, the people, the patient interaction, and the knowledge…

    During my break I didn’t do a lot of things but I it was still good to have a break from the harsh labors of school. I spent most of my break sleeping and eating occasionally I went to the store. I only went on one long but brief road trip to Sonora which was sort of fun and interesting. My birthday was during the break but it was not very exciting as my family and I only had a small party but I guess it was better than nothing. For christmas I got two shirts and body wash which was a very surprising gift . On new year I went to my friends house where we played video games and watched tv until midnight.…
