Personal Narrative: Zen Week
Bryon closes his speech with one of his own personal quotes, "Success isn't easy, if it were, we will all be successful, but success doesn't equate to the figures in your bank account, success is the feeling of fulfillment and happiness one gets from achieving the goals you've set for yourself."

Zen Week is officially a wrap, now we can all go back to competing, studying non-stop, partying like we've got nothing else to do with our lives and of course gossiping because nothing can pass us by. Today started off well, let's just hope it ends well. I walked with my friends across the parking lot, "Is anyone hungry or is it just me." Chase asked stretching and yawning.

Jack opened the door of his white Chevrolet Corvette, one leg in, and the

I walked to the lobby area. Sam was waiting there already for me. Samantha, the Vice President of Golden Emporium, one of the largest multibillion dollar technology companies in the world, the messenger, never late to deliver my parent's message, always babysitting me, making sure I stay sane at all cost. She is everywhere, she is like that annoying bug you just can't get rid of. It is like God made me her purpose. And what is her job, Me, Myself and I. Her job is being my sister. Yes, she is a Fox. I mean, if the icy grey eyes that runs in the family didn't give it away, at least the fountain of youth look should. Thanks to our parents, we look younger than our age. It is a good thing for her considering she is twenty-nine, but can easily fool you, she looks twenty-four. For me, on the other hand, looking younger than my age is rather a curse than a blessing. I look like a freaking teenager. We are both blonde, but I dyed my hair black. I went through a punk phase. So everything about me was black. Ditched it, but kept the hair. It added sassy to my style. I am as tall as Sam. Both 5'6. She is more into the cooperate classy style, for example, right now she is wearing black long pants, white T-shirt with heels and a black blazer, and of course who is Sam without her ponytail signature hairdo. I am more into the whatever looks good on me based on my mood style. We are both slim with long …show more content…
It is dinner. What is so social about that?"

"So staying curled up in here all the time is your idea of socializing."

"I am okay being alone. Moreover, I am not always here. I do get out sometimes you know. I don’t exactly a hermetic lifestyle."

"So you say. Why do you avoid coming to the Pawn? You grew up there. That is home."

"It is a house."

"No it is home. Home is wherever the ones you love are."

"I don't like the vibe."

"What vibe is that?"

"You know, dull, dry, floppy, just there."

"Hmmm."

"Yeah."

"And this place is what? Lively, and bright?"

"It is very."

"No, the city is lively, but here, where you live, is not that different from the pawn. The pawn is better in my opinion."

"Of course it is, you live there. Of course, you’ll be bias."

"No, it is just facts."

"Okay, I am done arguing. It is exhausting."

"Then why do you do it in the first place?"

"Nope, nope," I started shaking my head, "done, not arguing again." Raising my hands up for emphasis

"It is just a question."

"Samantha Fox, I am going to kick you out if you don't cut it out."

"Are you coming?"

"Was I speaking gibberish? How else do you want me to say

My mother has been through pretty much everything a person can go through outside of war and was still able to be there and provide for all 6 of her kids.

    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.…

    Every human struggles everyone has hardship. When I was young I began to notice that maybe it is hard to understand what other people struggle with. The start of a mundane life began as usual a bus ride to school, but today something else happened a flash of yellow a soundless luxury sports car zoomed bass by a Lamborghini. As the car passed by everyone looked at it with amazement as the never seen a car pass from this part of the street.

    Traveling into the Indian Territory, we were being angrily chased down by three Indians furiously shouting at us. Dashing through the thick forest, the savage Indians were throwing spears and shooting arrows that narrowly missed us. Although neither Gideon nor I was mortally injured, I did suffer from a nick from an arrow piercing near my ear. Thankfully, a group of burly fur traders approached from the side, which frightened the Indians to run away. Acknowledging that Gideon and I were inexperienced travelers in the west, they offered us protection in exchange for some valuable possessions. As a consequence, knowing that they were our best alternative for survival, we gave them our antique gold pocket watches and assumed the identities of novice fur traders. From that point on, we followed them through the west and adopted their skills for efficiently hunting animals and keeping warm in the harsh, cold weather. During one of our rest points, we approached a large Cherokee settlement located in Park Hill in which our group leader was friends with the Cherokee leader John Ross.…
