Personal Narrative: The Big Game
The Big Game
Football has always been a big part of my life. As a young boy I would day dream of making insane touchdowns, making tackles that would leave man stuck in the ground, and even winning the heisman trophy. In 7th grade I had begged my mother endlessly to sign me up for pee wee football because she would always worry about the risks of football. After finally getting her to sign me up, we went straight into the season. I chose to play running back because as a 12-year-old I was remarkably fast having timed 5.3 in the 40 yard-dash. After a few weeks in the season we approached the playoffs and found out our opponent for the first round of the playoffs were the jaguars who were undefeated. Our team didn’t have the best chemistry on

    I chose to become a coach because I want to help others succeed. I love sports. I particularly love basketball. I have never been the best player. Sure I was tall, but I was never the best shooter or overall player. So for me, the only way I could be a part of the sport was to become a coach.…

    As I was writing my personal narrative for my composition 1 class, it easily made my mind boggle. After I had got started on my personal narrative, it was easy for me to keep writing and keep following along the story line. The main strength of mine that the essay played to was my creativity and my flexibility for different writings, because I have never written an essay as serious and sad as this one, but I did have to add my happy ending when I finished the story. I wanted it to be very attention grabbing with a twist, but I also wanted it to be very emotional.…

May 19th, 2013 I had dreamt of that day for almost four years. I know I can’t be the only person who feel this way. I remember it as if it was just yesterday. So many different emotions going through my mind all at once.

After all, our class had the biggest percentage of graduates who were actually…

    I remember a few months after I settled into Shanghai, my mother took me to a ballet class. Back when I lived in Australia, I adored my dance classes, so when I found out I was overjoyed. As we headed to the studio, I had on a leotard that a parent from Australia had made for me. It was a gorgeous rose pink and its nylon fabric reflected against the light, with that a smooth, lightweight chiffon skirt wrapped around my waist, below, typical ballerina tights. I steadily walked into the class in my itty- bitty ballet shoes. As the class began, I was nervous but yet a part of me was also excited. The class was utterly amazing; the room was filled with plies, tondus and grand battements. We crossed the room with jetes, a move that made me feel…

    3.14159265 or pi, e=mc2 is the language of nerds. Albert, Frank, George know this language all too well. Albert is a thin, pasty, white fellow with brown hair that was always combed over to one side of is head and big thick black glasses. Albert always thought that he was the smartest only because he had the same first name as Albert Einstein. George was the complete opposite of Albert. He was a rather large fourteen year old boy with uncontrollable curly hair that molded into an afro. Then there is me, Frank, I am just your average guy. I am content with jeans and a t-shirt.

    Throughout my life thus far, I have ultimately learned from experience that everything happens for a reason, a sole reason that has shaped my journey to contribute to my greater-good. This reason is intuitive, not to be specifically named but to be subconsciously present within the unlimited boundaries of my mind. Recently, I have faced the most defining moment in my entire life, and the early process of reasoning for this event is left for me to belabor.…

    I know you didn't like my post but it's needed. Do you remember when we first met and started talking? I do and I remember it like it was just yesterday. I saw that Gir outfit of yours and I just knew you were probably the coolest guy out there; well, I was right. We talked for awhile and got to know each other.. Just about 2 and a half years later you were standing right in front of me. I couldn't believe it was true! It all felt like a fairytale but no, it was real alright! Do you know the first moment I knew that I had to make you mine? It was that clear star-filled sky in June where we were sitting there just talking about everything and I became so comfortable with you. I sit here and play that night over and over again in my head all…

    It always starts off the same way. I’m driving down this dirt road by myself. There’s a streetlight somewhere that follows me, but I don’t know where it’s coming from. The road is endless, and I can’t really see anything besides the road and the trees. Then after what feels like an hour of driving, I see someone on the side of the road. I drive past them, because you know, picking up hitch hikers is bad, even in dreams. Then the next thing I know, they’re on my windshield, screaming at me and shit. The car swerves, and I crash into a tree.…

    Most excitement and fear flow through my body that night. The anticipation of tomorrow was barely suppressed. I struggled to force the anticipation of tomorrow was barely suppressed. I struggled to force mean day aside. I could not afford to be distracted and I needed rest. I still wonder how I was able to sleep at all that night. My thoughts and emotions crashed and claimed around my mind but somehow, I slept. I awoke refreshed and full of adrenaline. I wasn’t very hungry but knew I must eat.

    A paradigm shift can be the defining factor of one's life. When I started school as an overly-nervous six-year-old my mother said to me, "all I want from you is to do the best with what you have been given." As a six-year-old I never invested much thought into the statement, however, when it was repeated to me at the start of high school it had a far more lasting impact. Those words led me on an adventure to seize every opportunity that presented itself. My life very quickly became like an inner city mall during Christmas, congested and lively. I was simply another keen youth with an insatiable desire to succeed in everything. I initially achieved in most of what I set out to do: second in the grade for academics, A team athlete and cultural performer. However, even with all this early high school success the true 'me' was…

    I remember a long time ago, when my dad brought home a new addition to our family. She was about six weeks old and very afraid of everything around her. She was in a new world, a place that was an awakening in her eyes. Her fur was as soft as a cotton blanket and her attention span lasted as long as a blink of an eye. I remember watching my mom walk into the living room, with her hands on her mouth as she fell to her knees. A beautiful brown and white kitten, with streaks of golden fur that traced all around her. She was perfect in my mom's eyes. She couldn’t of thanked my dad anymore than she did. Therefore, She decided to name the kitten, Kiki, after her previous cat.…

    Coming from Eastern Europe, a completely different culture; I didn’t know how to speak English at all. Even now I am not perfect at English. There are certain things I struggle with and certain obstacles that occur because of that. Through my education I had no family member that could help me with school work such as homework because of their lack of English. Back then it all seemed impossible for me. My parents that also didn't know a word of English couldn’t help me since they were going through the same obstacle. My dad eventually had to go to work, and later my mom too, but she had more time with me. My mother was and still is the person who always encourages me, listens, and supports me. I know that the hardships she has faced have been…

    I woke to the aroma of fresh cut grass and crisp morning air. Anxious for my first game, I rushed to put my wondrous forest green jersey on; the uniform encompassed my small and delicate body, making me feel as if I was drowning in a sea of silk. I was entirely thrilled, therefore the rest of the morning remained a blur until it came time to watching the plethora of mini vans; driven by loving soccer moms, pile into the parking lot. I snatched my water bottle and oversized soccer ball from the back and dashed workout over to my coach and teammates. There was no need of an intense before the game; the coach just had us jog a warm up lap. There was no starting line up, every kid got to play; and the coach didn’t pick favorites or key players to run around the entire game. This was common back when sports weren’t politics.…
