Personal Narrative: A Good Ideas

Summer vacation, and school ends for about three months, and then you have as much fun as you can, then back to school… right? Well I had to go to summer school, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Everything was going fine, I had a job after summer school, and that was going fine as well. They say that summer is supposed to be fun and exciting, and it usually is for me and my family. However in July my father started coughing up blood. My father usually doesn’t make it his top priority to go to the doctors, so he waited about four weeks until he really didn’t feel good.

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.

I, Deputy Gough received a call reference a white Ford truck driving in the Gamester trailer court all over the roadway. Upon my arrival I spoke with David Vore and Jennifer Vore. Jennifer Stated that Randy was the driver of the white Ford truck that said, “All Good Construction.” David and Jennifer both stated that they saw the truck drive through the yard hitting a slow child at play sign and the stop sign.

I definitely sympathize with the parents because they wanted the best for their kid. Now because he ran away they will always feel guilty which is not a good feeling. He actually liked his sister so she would know how he actually

I was incredibly excited. School was starting tomorrow. The first few days were just icebreakers, learning everyone’s names, blah blah blah. Then the real learning began. Of course, teachers started to write our lessons on the board. I started to notice a few changes in what I was seeing. The words they were writing were just...black lines! I didn’t pay much attention to it, I just asked my friends what the board said. As the year went on, it affected me more and more, especially in math. I saw a 2 as a 6, and and an A as an 8.

Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.

I woke up and took one bite out of my pop tart but that one bite was all I could eat. My legs were shaking, and my heart was pounding. My dad told me, “It is a true honor to even make it this far so go out there and have some fun.” Once I heard this statement, I knew I was ready to go. I arrived at school and boarded the bus. The car ride was an hour and fifteen minutes of hearing the squeaking of the wheel on the bus. My teammates were getting their heads ready for the big game.

I rush into my home and run up the stairs to my room. I jump on my bed and roll over to my laptop and open it quickly. I log onto the One Direction site and see that I made it in time to see the bid. I scroll and try and find my name and I see I'm in third place for the tickets and the time is running out. I've already bid $7000 for three tickets and backstage passes. The reason it's so expensive is because these passes are the last set of passes for their concert. 5sos is also playing so we would be meeting two bands and hearing both of them play.

Thank you all for being here for Carmen & Zach´s special day. I can't speak for Zach but Carmen has been waiting for this day her whole life. Carmen has been not-so patiently waiting ever since Zach swept her off her feet freshman year in high school. Zach and Carmen met at one of our very first ¨freshman party¨, she instantly fell in love. He wasn't quite on the same page as Carmen so she did everything she could to grab his attention. She danced all night, stole a spot next to him at the bonfire, and even chased after him just simply to get a picture with him. She did anything she could to be with him, she would come to his games hoping to stand out in the group of his fans and try to get a chance to talk in a long school day. Ever since

The next picture is of Zach Shank. Well, he's my boyfriend. I usually am not a very happy person. He helps shine a little light into my dark world. He's the person I can talk to about anything and everything. So, he plays a pretty important role in my life as well.

P: Of course I felt devastated; but, I did my best to keep my courage and show them I was happy for the ending.

No matter what I did he was something like my personal sideline cheerleader. I remember when I told him I wanted to lose weight he was right there by my side. At our old high school whenever we didn’t have band practice or he didn’t have baseball practice he would come with me to the little gym. He was there motivating and pushing me whenever I felt like it was too much. He would tell him how proud he was of my progress. Even now in college we both go to different schools, but he’s still supporting me from a distance. Whenever I’m in the rec center working out I can hear his voice in my head saying, “You got this Babygirl!” If anything it pushes me more and makes me want to work harder. Zirren has always supported me from an academic point of view as well. We pretty much had all our main classes together so whenever there was something I didn’t understand he would explain it to me. He was my own little tutor. When we were graduating I was named Valedictorian. So I had to write my Valedictorian Speech. I had no help, no guidlunes to go by, nobody to assist me in the revising and editing of it. Zirren stepped in and did all of that for me. Because Of him I was able to deliver I wonderful speech. I don’t think he’ll ever understand how much his support and love has means to me. He has helped me realize the kind of woman I want to be for myself and for him. I could never thank him enough

Standing in the way back with my head down and eyes closed, I am the only one not crying. The sobs from everyone around me flooded my ears. I raise my head to a painful sight I wish I hadn't seen. A casket, inside of it lays a body, cold and lifeless. A person that once felt emotions and laughed and cried. It was Zach's body. Even though I haven’t met Zach in person, I bet I knew him more than anyone else. Some people can walk by others and assume they know them by the clothes they wear, the way the look, their choice of makeup, but they are wrong. I never thought i could know Zach like I once did. I never could have imagined the hurt i would go through when Zach passed away. I rarely cry when people I have met died, but Zach was a oart of

From the first time it never got easier. There were still times when my dad would walk in on me crying. Everyone has a heart break in their life. Mine just so happened to be the one I thought would never leave, and the one I had planned my future with. July 16th, 2016 was the first day Brandon came to hangout with me, and the day i knew would change everything for me. Honestly, there was no other excitement in the world that could top the way my heart raced that day. He pulled up to the driveway in a black dodge megacab. Not knowing what how the night would play out I quietly jumped in the truck and we started a very basic conversation and surprisingly we both couldn't stop smiling. We headed to champaign to go to the car demolition since his family was running in it. That night after the demo’s we went to his house and he had talked me into sitting down right beside him so he could ask me to be his girlfriend, and of course i said yes. Looking back now I should’ve said no.

A year went by. Maybe two. The two were inseparable. Spending every waking moment together. They got coffee, went shopping, did your average friend things. They truly were, the best of
