My Narrative Research Paper

It was a beautiful day in early winter 2012, my Family had had a big dinner at my uncle's house, the plan was to go a Blazers game after we had all gotten done eating. I had moved to Tigard oregon with my Mom in summer of 2012 from Connecticut, about six months before all of this had happened. We had no idea where anything was, the only thing we had someone what of idea was my uncle's house and the grocery store, but beyond that we were basically lost all the time. At this time we didn't have a car yet, so relied mostly on my uncle taking us places.

For my senior project I ventured into two different possible careers I held an interest in. I adventured in the art career field and am determining if would be a viable future. This project also helped me determine whether I wanted a future career with domesticated companion animals or wildlife, both of which I love but needed to determine a career focus upon.

Have you ever had something you were “super passionate” about be stripped away from you? Roughly one and a half years ago I started my sophomore year of lacrosse. The lineup of students on the lacrosse team this year promised us a spot in the championship. Throughout fall practices, the majority of the sophomore class played amongst the varsity team. As the season ramped up in the spring, we waited for our first game against Saint John Paul’s Christian Academy. First game of the year, we enveloped ourselves into the game and became one as a team. Running downfield with a clear, open shot on the goal “whoosh” I shot the ball bottom right, a bare miss. Suddenly “crash” I was hit from both sides and struggled to stay standing. As I came to my

Welcome to Creekside 8th grade! We have a very busy and exciting year ahead of us. Learning to read and write well is fun, rewarding, and sometimes frustrating. During this year, we will be focused on improving your reading and writing skills while learning to navigate the difficult world of literature through skillful use of strategy and mature reading practice.

My storytelling assignment was an eye opening experience into the vocabulary and imagination of my second grade student Lila. During rotations I asked Lila if she would like to tell me a story. I let her know that it could be any story, make believe or real, that she wanted to share with me. When asked if she wanted to draw a picture before or after her story, she chose the first option. She immediately started drawing a picture that had four fish in different colors and sizes and was explaining who the fish were as she was drawing. She stated “This is the mommy fish, this is the daddy fish, and this is the baby fish Lila, and this is Lila when she got bigger.” Then she began her story about a family of fish who went on an adventure, and

I am currently enrolled in the Masters of Science Program in Technology at Eastern Illinois University. This is to fulfil my dream of becoming an expert and a professional in Information Technology related field, and later enroll for my PhD. My career focus is to work as a network administrator, chief security officer, an IT project manager or a network and security consultant. All of these job positions have very good prospects, high paying salary scale, and are in high demand for personnel in this field. On the average, the annual average salary for these positions ranges from $100,000 to $178,002.

Let me introduce myself, I was born here in Utah but spent most of my life outside of the state. My early memories of living in Utah were good. I remember having birthday parties with my cousins and my extended family would all be there, we went to family events on holidays and felt close with my family. My family moved to North Dakota just after kindergarten, that being the place my dad decided to attend law school.

As you get older, people expect more of you, just as Esperanza has had to do. Think about a new responsibility that you have taken on in the past year. What were some of the challenges you faced as you assumed this new responsibility, and how did you deal with those difficulties? Write a story to show what it was like to take on a new responsibility, and reflect on what you learned from this experience. Be sure to use descriptive details to show what this experience means to you.

Taking my chicken wings and Pepsi, I carefully made my way down the stairs to the basement, where the rest of my family was.

When I was eight, my family took a trip to Africa. Our first day there, in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Ghana, I threw up. A month later I was enrolled in a high school on Ukerewe Island in Tanzania. Sophomore year is the first year that is taught completely in English, so my sister and I went to class. Every morning our family walked two miles, picked up bananas on the way, pet the cow we named Jim, and got to class in time for the worst part of school. We sat in the back of the classroom while each student waited in line to be told of their mistakes, and then beat with a stick. We didn’t have to participate because our parents were volunteering at the school. At tea time, the replacement for lunch, we grabbed tea and found a place to sit. I made the mistake of choosing a large pile of dirt, which was

Finally, turning eighteen years old, I am finally legal, well finally legal to get into clubs. Partying every Thursday at Nicholls was the trend. Getting a taste of freedom, not having to worry about anything or anyone was an awesome feeling. I lived life and always was the life of the party. When I moved backed to New Orleans nothing changed, except the day I went out. Every Sunday was the day to go out and have fun at the House of Blues. Leaving the club till about three in the morning; trying to sneak back in the house before my parents awake. Those were the day, my irresponsible days of “living my life”. Everything changed once I became pregnant at age twenty.

We where working on a fifth grade “group” project. In a crowd of about four other peers, we worked well together, until we were almost done. I didn’t really select the group, they just chose me in theirs. One day they were in the hall to finish other school work while it was time to work on the project. I decided there wasn’t much left to be done on it. The paragraphs and pictures were neatly printed out and pasted on the poster board, the lettering was drawn on it, and all there was left to do was to color it. So I did. When they came back, they crowded around the project and yelled at me. They took the poster and tore the pictures and paragraphs off. I couldn’t do anything but watch. They were so willing to have me in there group, but not

As an author, I have developed and created many written work systems and styles. Already, my written work styles and abilities were coarse and grungy. My first paper was disgracefully punctuated, had a powerless body structure, and intertwined sentences. Over this semester, my written work aptitudes have enhanced significantly. I have figured out how to sort out and develop a paper formally. This has fortified my capacities as an essayist, which reflects in my written work.

I found much value in this week’s narrative writing assignment. Through text reading and the additional provisional resources, I acquired many tools that will be useful in my writing going forth. As a result, I can readily see the benefits of utilizing the tools provided in the lessons.

Storytelling actually has a very deep meaning, literacy, and is educating the new generation. We discussed as a class what kind of story had a tremendous impact on your life as an individual. It was a very interesting topic we went through because it showed how the stories we like as a child have a deep meaning. One topic that may have been hard to answer was who your favorite storyteller was; I do not really listen to people reading books unless watching movie or show counts and I doubt anyone in class remembers or have a favorite storyteller, maybe a few.
