Amber That Night-Personal Narrative

It was late one day in June, and the sky was as blue and clear as sparkling wine. I sat back in my hammock reading the book Unbroken enjoying myself, and my uncle came up and asked me if I wanted to play poker with him, 5$ buy in. I jumped at the idea finished my page and went inside the house. Poker is a pretty big thing in my family and I’ve grown up playing and my uncle was one of the best, so spending time with him playing poker is always one of my favorite things to do. We proceed to set up the table, “Texas Holdem“ he says, Jacks to open”. Nothing weird, so we get the game going and the pots getting pretty big when all of the sudden he drops his cards. I stare the cards dead in the eye and see that i'm going to surpass him! He looks

I walked to my house soaked, crying, and my nose dripping blood. This is why: When I got on the loud, stinky bus, 2 girls were waiting for me At my seat. After I sat down to do my homework, they distracted me by pouring some water on my head. After that they grabbed my homework and ripped it up into a million pieces.

Hi could I please have an iced skinny cinnamon dolce latte with coconut milk please? My name is Courtney Travaglini, currently I'm in my cold home state of Maine. However you are about to learn is not my "home" anymore. My husband and I are stationed in North Carolina and have been there for the past two years. Thanks to Starbucks transfer program and love of the military I was able to transfer back to Maine during my husbands deployment.

Throughout our lives, we all make sacrifices in order to achieve our goals or to help others achieve their goals. For some, this may mean sacrificing friendships or family time, or for others it may mean sacrificing money and other dreams which may also be of great importance to us. A person who has made many sacrifices in order to achieve their aspirations or goals is someone with strength, determination and masses of will-power, and it is someone who is not prepared to give up on their dream.

I narrowed my options down to three schools, the UCLA Bruins, the Purdue Boilermakers, and the San Diego State Aztecs. I wanted to follow in Luc Mbah a Moute’s footsteps and go to UCLA like he did, but then I would have to redshirt a year. Basically it means that I’d have to sit out a year so that I could develop physically and would have an extra year of college sports. I didn’t want to do that though. I was already big enough for the forward position, and I wanted to compete now. So even though they were my first option I had to rule them off my list. I wanted to go to Purdue next, they had a solid program and had Matt Painter as their coach. I was going to go there until I found out Cameron Reddish had committed there. He plays the same position as me, and was a five star recruit coming out of high school so there wasn’t any way I was going to start over him. That left me San Diego State. They hadn’t made a good run

Amberly’s head was pounding now. She has had a headache for a month because her thoughts in her head were running crazy. She took a glance at her reflection in the mirror and reached out to touch the image of herself. A tear slowly rolled down her rosy cheek as the thoughts of choosing between her brother and best friend.

My nights and weekends so far at Marquette have been pretty relaxed. On nights during the week, I tend to go to the AMU or the library to study and work on homework with friends. Also, on week nights, I have club tennis and try to spend at least an hour working out. If I get all of this done, I usually go back to my dorm to play a little Xbox or go to bed slightly earlier than usual. Weekends are different, in that I focus less on studying. I will hang out with friends at different dorms to watch movies, go bowling, attend any sporting events, play basketball at the rec center, and on Sunday, I finish any homework I have left. For me, this plan has been perfect. It allows me to balance my school work with some fun, keeping me sane.

The humidity of a midsummer evening had set in and Lyra was waiting for her parents to leave for Atlantic City for the night. Once her parents had left and gotten a good way down the road she finished showering and made the decision that she needed to go visit Ryan for what could be the last time. Lyra’s parents were strict but in the best way possible. They protected her from things that could hurt her like most parents of young girls would. Ryan was the boy every girl’s father swore against; he was cold and suspicious. For whatever reason this sparked Lyra’s interest, he was a bad car accident and she could not look away. The cigarette smoke on his breath comforted her, and yet put her on edge.

Amber's life had always been a breeze, suddenly everything fell apart. Her father had his own business and was doing very well in life. Then they lost everything due to her father's unorthodox decision to engage in drugs. Around the same time they found out he had cancer and that Amber was with child. After her father passed away, Amber delivered a beautiful baby girl named Annabel, who brought the light back into Amber's life. The first two years of Annabel’s life were tremendous; Amber attained a job, went to school to receive her GED, and started college immediately. Although it didn't last, she revamped herself for her daughter's sake. When Annabel was four years of age, she witnessed her mother get molested by a stranger, and that lead

“I wish for the same aspect I’ve hoped for from the beginning. I wish for a life so fearless, so unpredictable, so full of unexpected joys and unforgettable love that no box could possibly contain all my memories. Such a life won’t be perfect. It’ll be something better, it will be my own paradise”. I’m going to share with you about my “Helene Tucker”. My symbol is my friend Taylor, which represents love, trust, and laughter “everything I want”.

I want to go to the motion pictures Cameron said however there is no good thing appearing at all I

Amanda Stanton shared that she is not going to blame editing, but she does say that some stuff was left out. Of course, the fans don't know the entire Amanda and Nick story, but now she is sharing it. Before going on the show, Amanda and Nick did meet a few times and even talked about going on the show. Amanda also shared that she had a bit of a crush on him. When Amanda and Nick talked before the show, he did tell her he was thinking about going, but he wanted to meet Jen Saviano.

I know it isn’t appropriate to discuss so openly in front of the rest of my class, my emotional issues but a part of me, a part of me wants to and a part of me feels like I need to speak. I need to speak, for I am afraid, I am afraid that if I do not speak, I may crumble and I am afraid that I may not have this opportunity again. So I begin speaking.

We figured out it was dad when we went to get him and he was climbing into his window.

I looked down the hallway, then at the elevator wide open, back and forth I kept looking till then I saw Maude running down the hallway to me. I thought to myself, she left Shelly to come get me? Shelly must really want me, but then the elevator door started to close and I suddenly slipped through it. It closed and started to go down. What have I done? Why did I do that? Then I realized that Shelly doesn’t need a coward like me in her life.
