Personal Narrative: What It Was For Dinner
Pan seared chicken, garlic bread, hamburgers, steak, homemade macaroni and cheese, enchiladas, or whatever my dad had decided to make that night as what was for dinner was always unpredictable with the only exception being Fridays with a pie from my family’s favorite pizzeria, Sal’s, guaranteed to be on the kitchen counter accompanied by garlic powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, fresh basil picked right from the backyard, and a fresh block of parmesan cheese.

    As a Chinese-American, my family expected me to help out at the restaurant while maintaining straight A's in school. But, it wasn't easy; every day, I would report to the restaurant after school and immediately start working. Inside the kitchen, I would pack all the orders into aluminum containers, place them into a brown bag, and insert packets of sauces and utensils. Burns and cuts were common due to the terrible and tearable aluminum containers. Outside at the front desk, I would answer the seemingly endless ringing phones. In many instances, customers had to wait either on the phone or at the front desk for me to find their orders on the computer, even after they showed me where it was on the menu. During lunch hours, the pressure was even…

    In Defense of Food was quite shocking at first. In all honesty, it made me think I was going to die within the next week due to a heart attack triggered by all the junk I eat. Considering I myself indulge in processed cookies from the aisles of Stop and Shop, and steak tips that have been marinating in salt for two days, the film hit close to home. But in all honesty, I don’t eat that bad; in comparison to the Seventh-Day Adventists I do, but I think I’m doing alright.…

    I had always loved my dad’s meatloaf. It was one of my favorite meals, and I always asked him to make it often. Some days, I would come home from school and my dad would say “I’m making your favorite food for supper!” My mood would instantly better no matter what kind of day I had. He has a special touch to his meatloaf; a kind of touch that makes his stick out from any other meatloaf I’ve ever had. Maybe I’m being bias, but I’ve never tried a meatloaf recipe that was better than my dad’s.…

    It was a perfectly normal Saturday night, until I sat on the couch. I expected to enjoy a funny movie with my dad, but instead I got a trip to the hospital. I sat on the couch, and then I felt a sting in my elbow. At first, it felt like I got a shot at the doctor, but it slowly got worse, and felt more like a knife slicing into my elbow. I winced and sprung up from the couch. I squinted and my eyes scanned the spot where I just sat down. Aha, I thought. There was a small piece of plastic, and it looked like it broke off from a container.…

    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.…
