Personal Narrative: Race For Lisa
The day has finally come, the day that everyone is waiting for. Today is the day that my mom will see if the cancer is gone or has spreaded. On the other hand, Carmen has been counting everything that she sees. Yes, my grade has moved up tremendously because of Carmen. Shawntea is still talking about her psychic dreams even though I have already proved her wrong. Thanks to Iliana, all the Chia Pets that I have now decided to bring to the hospital are all gone. I mean, who would say no to a little kid to make them cry. Definitely a person who has no heart or soul. To this day, I can’t believe that our team, Race for Lisa, was in eighth place for getting five-hundred-twenty-six names!

    Personal Narrative: An Interview With Lisa Newman

    On May 12, 2017 I interviewed Lisa Newman about what it means to be an American to her. Mrs. Newman grew up in a multi-cultural home learning many traditions from both of her parents, since both of her parents are immigrants to the U.S. I also discovered that she has a Bachelor’s degree in Human Biology, a Master’s degree in Biological Science, and a teaching credential in Biology. Graduated from Pitzer College and a married woman, her love in science flourish throughout her teaching career, she’s also an amazing baker. While interviewing her, she was exposed to a large variety of cultural foods as well, which she still loves today.

    Personal Narrative: The Sexuality And Race IAT

    When I first learned this was going to be our first assignment, I was a little bit cautious, to be honest. I’ve always been a very decisive person and thought I knew where my beliefs did and did not reside. This test, however, stays true to its word, and the word hidden has a definite reason for being in the title. As previously stated I was quite nervous going into this, but after I took the first test, I decided to take another out of curiosity. In the end, I ended up taking two tests: The Sexuality and Race IAT. These are both very tender topics, and the reason I chose them was because they don’t make an appearance too often in my daily life and was curious to see how I really felt about them. Out of the two tests, there was one result that…

    Personal Narrative: Danielle Nash

    "Before death I hope to obtain life." This quote reminds me of my Michigan Hero Danielle Nash. Danielle was my cousin who was diagnosed with stage four Melanoma and Brain Cancer at age 26. Before cancer, she opened her own Day Care/ Preschool in Whitehall called Bright Futures, she was only 21. She also started the first Middle School Competitive Cheerleading Team in Reeths Puffer and was also the head coach of the Varsity Reeths Puffer Competitive Cheerleading team. She lived in the Whitehall area her whole life, and had a husband named Jake and two kids, Brady who is now four and Addisyn who is two.

    Personal Narrative: Riding The Rails

    I broke my arm today while getting on the freight train. Thank God I still have an arm unlike some of the other I have meet who have lost an arm or leg and some even know someone who has lost their life ( Riding the Rails). I have done this a couple of time now and I shouldn't have been so anxiety about it but I was. I hide under the track outside the yard like I normally do, waiting for the train to reach momentum so I could get on. I forgot to check for the bull guards who are hired to keep hoboes from jumping on freight. I guess I got too comfy with my environment( Riding the rails). Right when I was getting on the trains, I heard the bull guards yelling and chasing after me. It threw me off my balance and I nearly fell off the train. I…

    Personal Narrative: Trinity Thompson

    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.…

    Personal Narrative: My Person Of Color In The Homeroom

    As I entered homeroom, I noticed I was the only latina present and that there was only one other person of color. At first this did not bug me, but as the week went by, I realized that we were the only two non-white students in the whole middle school. This made me feel very out of place, because I had never been the only Latina at a school, so I did anything I could to fit in. I was willing to let people make me their own personal dictionary, for inappropriate language, or to translate their readings. As a person of color, I was always taught to put others before me or else I would be seen as rude and uneducated, so I complied. Throughout my life, I have witnessed that many upper class citizens take their privilege for granted; they do not…

    Personal Narrative: Myra Hiindley

    People knew that she had a rough childhood but no one would have imagined that Myra Hindley would be a serial killer of small children. No one knew the thoughts that went through our heads as I, along with my boyfriend, Ian Brady, went along mindlessly killing and raping small children as if we had no care in the world. Do I feel bad ? No. My childhood was not a bed of roses. Growing up in the suburbs , I watched as my parents beat up each other day in and day out. Violence is what came naturally to me. I was such a little tomboy. I was always beating up boys just to get my daddy's attention and approval. Little did I know that as soon as my little sister came along I had to go live with my grandmother. I was not very sociable growing up,…

    Personal Narrative: I Am As An African American Woman

    “You is smart. You is beautiful. You is strong.” For a couple of years my mom would playfully cite to me her version of the famous lines from the movie “The Help” in hopes that it would inspire me as an African American woman. At the time I was nearly 10 and frankly I brushed off every word my mom said because I looked around me and didn’t feel comfortable in my own skin. It took me sometime to realize that my mother’s words would forever stay with me and empower me. Especially when I met adversaries that would try to make me feel small for who I am.…

    Personal Narrative: Being A Black Women In America

    Developing in today's society and culture, I recently realized what it truly means to be a black women living in America. Going to a high school where I am a minority by all meanings of the word, I was not aware of how I was being perceived by other. This unknown ignorance helped me go through my first year of high school without faltering in knowing what I thought I stood for. My lack of understanding my role in society was why I felt a sense of false serenity about the stability of the world around me. It was not until the exposure of modern discrimination, which crept its way into the news or on social media, that I began noticing how my values in time of crisis for both the black and female community varied greatly from the students around…

    Personal Narrative: My Ethnic Background

    I am proud to say, "I am a perfect blend of sweet and salty." My ethnic background consists of two; My dad being Salvadorian and my mom is Mexican, making me and my siblings quite the concoction of Hispanic blood. You would think because we are all in the Hispanic category our lives wouldn't be difficult since we speak Spanish, have the same characteristics, and usually, family traditions are or should be quite similar. Not completely, in this case, I recently found out that it isn't common for Salvadorians and Mexicans to get along because they both are just as proud and tough. In specifics, my mom always has given me the warm side of caring for others, being family oriented is important and giving is always better than receiving. My dad, on the other hand, was very dry in emotion he…

    Personal Narrative: My Racial Identity

    As a young child, I never really understood the concept of having a healthy racial identity. Racial identity was not a topic of conversation in school; however school and other factors have had major effects on my racial identity. I was not even familiar with what it meant to be a Black individual. When I was younger, I did not focus on being black or white, I solely focused on playing with other children. However, it was not until racist events began to occur did I begin to question my identity. Anyone would think that a child whom was raised in a family where racial pride is prominent would evidently grow into an adult that also projects this racial pride. However, distinct racist events, micro-aggressions, and other events have a major impact on how children and adults contract their racial identity.…

    Personal Narrative: My Ethnic Identity

    Who I am? In order to that question about my ethnic identity, I must first reflect upon my family. Old Highway 45 in Shannon, Mississippi is the town that I was born and raised. The community is called Old Union which sits on a hill just off the highway in rural northern parts of Shannon. As a child the only social environment I had was family gatherings, going to school and church functions that was all that mattered to my family. I am an African American female who came from a family of four other siblings. My mother and father both grew up on a farm, but refuse to stay in the community to work, so they went out to get public jobs. The factories had made it to the area and picking cotton for a living was over for most people. The economy…
