Personal Narrative : A Personal Experience In My Life?

Put the gun down! Put the gun down! Pow Pow Pow. The gun shots cracked into the air as loud as thunder. One after another. We live day by day not knowing our end. In the blink of an eye our lives can be changed forever. Its life, yet even in knowing this we never expect tragedy to find us. We never expect it to affect our lives and the people we know and love. I’m going to share with you the day tragedy found my life.

This is the opportunity for you to tell us more about yourself, your readiness for college, and your activities and accomplishments. Explain any personal experience, responsibilities, or challenges that have impacted you or your academic achievements.

I turned to my left and all that I saw was flat land, bodacious white clouds, and a clear blue sky, when I looked to my right I saw a 200 pound man drooling over the complimentary peanuts. Suddenly I hear a loud screech followed by a deep voice saying “we will be landing in less than thirty minutes.” As my face exploded with excitement all that I could think about was the adventures that my Nana would go on this summer. As our plane had gently landed and gradually made its way to the unloading gate, the Captain made his final speech and released us to depart the plane. I knew that my Nana would be waiting for me right by the gate. When I met eye contact with her I sprinted to her and gave her a huge hug. The first

    Where do we go when we have nothing on our minds? Where do we go when we go quiet? I can not be the one to tell you. My mind is always focused on the next and can never stay put. My mind is like Hong Kong (most densely populated place on Earth) during a rush hour. It’s a room full of commotion and noise that can’t find the escape door. It’s fun at times, but unbearable when all you want to do is shut yourself out from the world and relax. I can’t pay attention in my classes in school because I am thinking about all the things I have to do. I can’t enjoy my meal during lunch because I am thinking about who I should ask to recommend me for the universities I still haven’t applied to. I refuse to take naps after a long

Finally! The day we finally got to head out to Colorado. The drive was the most time consuming car ride I had ever encountered. If it wasn’t for my brother, Hunter, I probably wouldn't have made it. Our jam out sessions and mind determination got me through it. The drive through Kansas consisted of flat planes and hundreds of windmills. Suddenly, I could feel the air change, temperature drop, and my eyes widen. Out in the distance, I could see what looked like a cloud, but turned out to be a gigantic mountain. I had never been to the mountains before, so it took my breathe away. The first stop was Colorado Springs. We stayed at a hotel there so we could get a full night's rest before continuing the everlasting car ride.

One dreary cold Indiana morning my family and I packed our little Honda CR-V full of suitcases and duffle bags. My brother Seth behind the wheel, my dad in the front seat, and my mom and I in the back, we were ready to go. I rested my head on the window as the corn and countryside

"There was an accident, and umm... Olivia umm.. She was in the accident. She umm... didn’t make it." Jamie nervously said.

We were in Laredo, having just finished our first day at a Habitat for Humanity work site. The

The day before, was our first time ever skiing down the breathtaking slopes of Colorado. It was already snowing very hard. We could hardly bear it snowing any harder for we would freeze. By the time we were on the top of the mountain night had fallen. The younger kids and the other parents we came with decided to take the ski lift back down the mountain. I begged and begged my father to let me ski down the mountain. I could feel my heart sink at just the thought of going back down the slope already. Finally he agreed with the help of the other uncles convincing him to come down the slope with them.

My heartbeat pounded in my ears. I was breathing so heavily I was scared I would hyperventilate. It was silent other than the sounds of two sets of paws running over the crunchy autumn leaves on the dying forest floor.

“Next month we're are going to move to Los Altos and this house will go for rent,” my Dad said five months ago at dinner. I was shocked and quickly answered

I woke up on the ground bleeding, i can taste the concrete and i can hear someone saying get up you little B*tch. I can hear a huge crowd saying Oooooo he got knocked out, when i come back to reality i hear over the monitor Hunter please report to the principal office. I start walking to the principal's office questioning what he is gonna say or what he is gonna do, i'm scared while i'm holding my jaw. I get to the the principal office, he tells me to sit and tell him what happened. I said that Shawn hit me because the way i was dressed and because i went up to him to introduce myself. The principal Mr.Garcia calles his son Shawn into the office. Him and his friends are waiting out of the office and Mr. Garcia calles him in and asked his son Shawn why he hit me and he said that i started, he said that i went up to him and pushed him and i hit him in the stomach and punched him in the face. Mr.Garcia asked me if it was true and i said no that it's not, Shawn said he has witnesses that saw me hit him. Mr.Garcia said oh yea call them in here and all of his friends came in and told Mr.Garcia that i started it and his son Shawn was sticking up for himself. Mr.Garcia gave me a 2 week detention and let his son off with a warning. I went to detentions and i met some students that are freshmen and were bullied by Shawn and there names are Alex ,John ,Jacob ,Joey ,Lexi, Isabelle, Arianna, Alyssa, i asked the girls did Shawn hit you and they said no it was Emma his girlfriend and i

Do you know the year you’d call your darkest time? Mine would be 7th grade year. I’ve was in the middle crowd all my life. Then came 7th grade my best friend of two years; we were impossible to break apart left me for a more popular girl.You guessed it, that popular girl yeah she kept pushing me out of the picture but keeps me in just enough to hurt me. Then I moved on you know found a new best friend.I had known her from a old club I was in but we never really talked. Till she sat with us the first day of 7th grade and said “Dude I know you're funny let’s be friends” and that’s where it all started. Before this year, I thought guys were immature and like all my friends were guys but I was never like boy crazy, but there was a new kid that year, His name was Michael, he was the bad-boy type.

Throughout my life, I have had very many formative experiences, some good and some bad. However there are very few that stick with me today, dictating nearly everything I do. I am an avid hunter, outdoorsman, and conservationist, so one event that I can point to and say “That has had a profound impact on my life!” is the first time I went hunting. Hunting changed nearly my entire outlook on life, for the better in most cases. I feel more connected to my family, friends, nature, and most especially God.

Ever Sunday afternoon I would watch whatever football game was on. My favorite team, the Steelers, were on a bye this week, so I was just watching the Bengals vs Cardinals game. I remember this games vividly because it was such a good game. It was half time when I heard my phone buzz. I ignored it until the end of the third quarter and when I looked at it my stomach dropped. In my history class we had been learning about western migration. She told us that we had to make an advertisement about moving to the west. We were allowed to have partners so Chris and I immediately looked at each other and partnered up. The three days in class that were supposed to be for working were spent talking about fantasy football and the NFL season. That project was due on Monday and Chris and I had not done any work. Chris’ text said,
