Adair Personal Narrative

Do you know the all mighty king Odysseus, the King of Ithaca? In the epic poem, The Odyssey by Homer Odysseus sailed out to war leaving his wife and son for 10 years. On his journey back home he had been lost at sea because of all the other gods and as time went by it had been another additional 10 years. So after 20 years he finally made it back home to see intruders in his home trying to take over his empire/kingdom and he had to make a plan to kill them. But he couldn't reveal himself at this time so he had to disguise himself until it was to time for him to reveal himself.

Once when I was going through high school, it was my senior year and people constantly asked me. What profession I was going to do? I always said I do not know what I am going to do. Then a friend came and said that the A&P mechanics were always hiring. Therefore, my friend and I started talking about planes. I had always been interested in planes; I always wanted to be in the air force, I could not join the air force because of my glasses and medical conditions. When my friend found out that W.A.T.C. was teaching A&P mechanics. He influenced me to join W.A.T.C. to get my license to become an A&P mechanic.

Her typical work day is a twelve hour shift. She would clock in thirty minutes early to take care of all the reports before 7:00 am. Many times she would have to stay late to make sure all patients and their paperwork was completed. She dealt with many types of patients and she never knew what to expect, because the sickness type varied. She gave all she had while working with sick patients to help make them better.

She was hired as an aids-oncology clerk, which she described as being the stage manager of the hospital. She worked there for two years, and spent many hours of hard work

Natural disasters occur every day. When disasters strike, there needs to be immediate action taken by the American military. By sending troops to disaster sites in foreign countries, they are able to properly secure the site for aid workers, by doing so the American aid workers are able to properly assist the citizens of these foreign countries with the necessary assistance needed. In the article, “The Use of Military Forces for Disaster Relief Is Inappropriate and Harmful,” the author, Jamie Way argues that troops have a negative impact on relief work productivity. The author states that troops hinder aid work by their mere presence, commenting that they disrupt the neutrality of a foreign disaster area.

I dove through the cold currents, feeling my hands create an opening through the water. I closed my aching eyes and let the water submerge me, pulling me in. The sun cast shadows on the floor of the pool, shifting every now and then. I could feel the warmth of the sun as I swam further. I sighed, deeply content.

The sparks fly in the air, there are marshmallows in your hair, and you’re with your favorite people in the world. This is called the best place on earth, for me at least. I enjoy camping so very much, you meet new people, experience different things, make new memories, and have a blast. You also see new sights, smell some things, and always wake up to the birds singing and not the bustling streets of the city. Camping is my go to activity.

It's a Friday afternoon, I plan to go to Great Wolf Lodge in an hour with my church. I see one of my friends so he says to his mom “ Hey, that's my friend” I said “Crap” So I go inside to sign in to go and see my friends just sitting in a corner on a big sofa. We are listening to music and just talking then a green bus comes.

Tuesday, March 6th, 2018 at approximately 4:30 p.m., I Detective L. Donegain was contacted by Sergeant P. Orellano in-reference to a possible overdose at 415 Tradewinds Drive apartment B, Fayetteville, North Carolina 28304. I was advised Patrol Officers were on scene and standing by.

It's been an interesting year so far, and it looks like it is about to get even more interesting (more about that in a moment). What I wanted to write about in this here journal of mine is a new brand of shoe that I just purchased; they are called Nike running shoes, and I love them. They fit well, are comfortable and seem like they will last quite a while. I just had to have a pair (I think I'm the first one here at school to have them most of the other students have never even heard of them; Neanderthals, I know!). I predict they will be a big hit in the future. Okay, enough about shoes, let's move on to more serious matters, my love life! (just joking journal I have no love life right now). Oh well, I haven't written in here for the past few weeks, I guess I better talk about the events of the month. Let's see, it's October 1962 and a number of events have taken place; some here at the University of Mississippi, some in the United States and some internationally. Many of these events will likely have long-term impact on some very serious matters. Of course, I did not think any event would foreshadow James Meredith being admitted into the University, but, the first Negro being admitted into a higher education institution is an event that has only national implications, while the missile crisis in Cuba, could lead to death to thousands or even hundreds of thousands of citizens in both the United States and in Russia.

Growing up with a father in the military, you move around a lot more than you would like to. I was born just east of St. Louis in a city called Shiloh in Illinois. When I was two years old my dad got the assignment to move to Hawaii. We spent seven great years in Hawaii, we had one of the greatest churches I have ever been to name New Hope. New Hope was a lot like Olivet's atmosphere, the people were always friendly and there always something to keep someone busy. I used to dance at church, I did hip-hop and interpretive dance, but you could never tell that from the way I look now.

Adelphi is a really good school, there are a lot of activities to do around campus everyday where the sororities, fraternities, different clubs and different sports try so hard to put together in order to happen. It has been a little over a month of school, since we started college. At first, it was easy but at the same time it was overwhelming with the fact that we had to balance so many classes, and extracurricular activities together. The first week was the easiest, since we were just trying to adjust to a new school, new environment and as well as having more challenging classes.

The seat of the helicopter started to vibrate as it lifted off the pad in a smooth steady accent. Glancing out the window next to her seat the ocean came into view as the pilot maneuvered the beast towards the open sea, once it cleared the land the chopper swooped to the north heading towards their destination which would be home and work for the next fourteen days.

“And I swear I see, down deep inside, the woman she gone grow up to be. A flash from the future. She is tall and straight. She is proud. She got a better haircut. And she is remembering the words I put in her head. Remembering as a full-grown woman.” Ten years later, I still remember the wise phrases Aibileen once told me. I will forever cherish the time I spend and have spent with Aibileen. She shaped me into the woman I am today.

People make many decisions and choices because of a means of persuasion. Children tie their shoes because their parents warned them that untied shoelaces would cause them to trip. Other children buy a remote-controlled toy airplane because the television commercial informed them that it could fly up to 150 feet in the air. Students go to college because they have been informed by their mentors that college is important for getting a good job and providing for a family. Many German children joined Hitler Youth because, through propaganda, this organization seemed like a fun way to become powerful over the bad guys: the Jews. In Germany, the depression of the early 1930’s was an extreme event that caused democratic parties to lose support. The poor economy influenced people to turn to the radical Nazi party, which offered seemingly easy and quick solutions to all of their problems. Upon Hitler’s increase in leadership and totalitarian power, Germany “became the political and foreign policy [center] of Hitler 's Reich” (Hagen). As their power expanded, Hitler and the Nazi Party effectively promoted German pride and anti-Semitism by utilizing “machinery of illusion and fear” (Risch). This machinery is propaganda, which “is defined as ideas that are spread… for the purpose of influencing [hearts and minds]” (The Nazis in Power: Propaganda and Conformity). Through its spreading of ideas, Nazi propaganda such as the media, education, and mass murder influenced the Germans’ hearts
