Personal Narrative: Olivia
Every morning, I go through the same agonizing routine. Wake up to my alarm clock screaming at me, eat a chocolate-chip croissant with strawberry milk while watching the glamorous, yet slightly annoying, Olivia Morgan and the rest of the cheesy morning news cast. Olivia is the type of person that can make you want to take a step back from life and look at how miserably bad you have done compared to her, though, at the same time, makes you want to gouge your eyes out every single time you hear your little yelpy voice. Looking at how long and perfectly curled her blonde hair is, and how aligned her white teeth are, and how her cheekbones and so defined makes me wish God put some extra work into my making like he did into hers. However, as soon …show more content…
Fitzgerald. Ms. Fitzgerald is divergent in saying the very least. She expresses her feelings and desires in ways that would most likely be strange for the normal human to wrap their head around. Her entire life is one big hyperbole of big words and drastic expressions. For the most part, they are all decent to have to spend every day with, other than the fact that Susan has this ridiculous lisp that makes me want to hit my head up against a brick wall a million times, Jewel has this stuttering problem that she says she only gets when she is nervous, so she must always be nervous, though she is adroit when it comes to cutting out designs, and Amber is practicing on her cooking skills to impress her boyfriend’s mom, so she is always baking these delicious looking treats for employees to eat throughout the day, smelling them makes my mouth water, but she always puts peanut-butter in everything she makes, even though I have repeatedly told her if I eat a peanut, I will die, as if she is killing me. Then, there’s Rachael. She is worse than the lisps and stutters and poisonous treats that I have to live with on a daily basis. All of the ‘Yes ma’am Ms. Fitzgerald’ the ‘I love that color on you Ms. Fitzgerald’ makes me throw up in my mouth. I don’t even know how she got hired here, she always wears these two knotty, ugly pig-tails that aren’t even on her head, and always …show more content…
“Now girls, it’s Sunday.” She says, “and y’all know what Sunday is!” She says again. We all look at each other in silence. “It’s a perfect day to kill our competitors with fashion!” She yells, “We have to murder them with our new pieces!” She yells again before leaving the room. She always comes up with these corny things to keep us ‘entertained’. Work is actually going by smoothly for a change today. Everyone is minding their own business, doing their own things. Which is strange, because at least someone is always messing with someone else around here, making fun of their clothing lines, messing with their food from the lounge, putting down notes around our office areas, moving different things around the room, all sorts of things. After my late lunch with Amber, I return back to my desk to finalize my line and send it to Mrs. Fitzgerald. There was a problem though, when I turn on my computer, nothing is there. My piece is gone, disappeared.
“No!” I yell tapping at my computer screen, “What? What happened?” I ask myself hitting the mouse of my computer. I see Rachael look at me, and then hear her laugh.
“You!” I yell walking her way, “You

    I moved from Detroit, MI to Ypsilanti, MI, for a better living. It was December 29, 2008. I had just given birth to my daughter. My daughter was born at 9:45p.m, weighing 5lbs and 3ounces. I named my daughter Saphira Parthenia Franks. Saphira died at 36 weeks, due to still born. The doctor told me” Sometimes this happens without a reason and you will be able to have more children”. I already had my mind made up, that I would wait until I turn thirty to have another baby. I was heartbroken and disgusted with myself. I was already going insane from the deaths of my father in November 2006 and my grandma in July 2008. Therefore, I was not able to cope with their three deaths at once.…

    For example, the way that she threatens Crooks is where I begin to lose patience with her because he was just trying to get her away from his property because he knew she could get him fired and he just wanted her to realise that his room is not where she should be also because of the segregation and it being that they had to be in separate rooms and to not really talk to her, also this is something that she just doesn’t understand because she goes to talk to him anyway. She just thinks that he is trying to get rid of her and the way that he is always trying to tell her to go home and talk to her husband but they both know that her husband is in the “cathouse” not home she then tells them that she is “lonely” which they don’t care about because they have a dream and a possible ranch to go to when they are finished here also in them days if a lady said she was lonely they were expected to just go else where for attention. I also believe that she has some nice qualities, for example when she is talking to Lennie and she is talking on the same wavelength or level as him which can be seen as a kind of kinship between the two. I also think that she is kind of childlike because she wants the only thing that any child wants and that is attention, companionship and love which Lennie already gets from George but Curley’s Wife does not get that from anyone. This is the sort of behaviour…

    With Amber in dance, Emmett and I decided to enroll Marci Jeane into something different. We gave her a bunch of options from gymnastics to football. We were glad that Marci chose gymnastics over football, considering she was more into football than anything else. With Marci in gymnastics and Amber in dance, Emmett made sure that Ivan was enrolled in athletics as well. We signed Ivan up for T-ball and PeeWee Football. It was time for him to make his mark.…

    “What do you want to be when you grow up?” my friends, guidance counselor, parents, college applications, ask. When I was six I wanted to be Hannah Montana. When I was 12, nothing had changed but I reasoned I could have a second job too – just in case. I’m 17 now and I’ve been exposed to a deluge of astounding things: timeless authors, transformational historical events, jaw-dropping scientific discoveries, emotionally riveting political and social revolutions and at the fringes of it all - sometimes in the center - I’ve imbibed the powerful influence of the female voice in a world historically dominated by men.…

    "We admire people to the extent that we cannot explain what they do, and the word admire then means marvel at." This quote by B. F. Skinner shows exactly how I idolize certain people. I admire those who can make me realize who I am, who understand where I stand on and who is not afraid to say what is on their minds. One incredible individual, who I have met recently, changed the way I looked at the world. Ms. Lena Parks has a different air around her that I do not find most in others. I applaud her for the discipline she imposed on herself to reach her goal, for her sense of humor, and for her individuality.…

    She was born on a busy summer night on September 13th 1918 in Brookline, Massachusetts. I always had the feeling that Rosie was a little different from the rest of us. On the day of her birth the midwife arrived late, and my theory is that this action deprived her brain of oxygen. We were proven right when she failed to advance from kindergarten and was deemed to suffer from intellectual disabilities. When this happened our parents began to conceal their third child from society.…

    “I can’t believe I’m doing this” I mutter into my wooly scarf. It’s 4 o’clock in the afternoon and the weather reads ten degrees Fahrenheit. I shift my weight and try to get into a more comfortable squatting position as the rocks dig into my boots. I look around; it’s a rather dreary day with no clouds in sight. I scribble in a notepad. Five minutes in and my hands are numb.…

    One time when I challenged my own beliefs, I questioned my own skills. It was one of the most crushing and confusing moments of my life. I was indecisive, hesitant, and most certainly doubtful. I couldn’t even imagine myself, an inexperienced sophomore, working in a career major that I’ve never even thought of doing in the first place.…

    A few days after I went home with Phoebe, I ended up getting sick and my parents sent me to a hospital. I was trapped in that hospital for about a month with nothing to really do. You know what was funny though? The days practically flew by, right out of the window. Before I knew it, half a month had passed. I was slowly getting back my strength and everything else as well. I made sure I asked the nurse, who was taking care of me, to bring me malted milk. She was very kind to me, and chatty in a nice, friendly sort of way. It was a nice break from the typical phony people. Speaking of phonies, you should've seen my therapist. He came to me during this one session, started asking me questions in a very posh voice. You know, like he's really…

    My heart is pounding in my chest as I am in complete awe as I realize that finally she is coming. It is one of the most thrilling events that has ever happened to me in my entire life. I don’t think one can ever be completely ready for what I was about to endure as well as the pain my body was about to be put through. The pain begins to become more alarming as stronger waves of torment flows throughout my body down to the deepest core of my being. I have to say no matter how many books or classes I have taken, nothing could prepare me for what was about to happen next. It is not something that one could ever be mentally qualified for until it is actually happening. Fourteen hours of agonizing discomfort and yet we are still waiting for her to enter into this nonsensical, yet wonderful world. At that moment, I realize once she arrives she will be completely dependent on me.…

    “Well well, well... What have we here?” she sniggers “A poor little Gigolo trying to lead an itsy-bitsy resistance?” I turn my head to face the wall trying to ignore her. “LOOK AT ME!” She shrieks stomping towards me and grabbing my head and making me face her, she puts her face up against mine. “I going to make sure every little worm like you ceases to exist, you men have bossed women and controlled us for long enough, I think it’s fair to say we deserve a little payback, don’t you?” She winks slyly, a small grin forming on her lips.…
