Personal Narrative: Always Keep It Closed

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.

The restoration of the death penalty for serious crimes is an issue of debate in the UK because of the recent rise in violent crime. It is said that at least 17,833 people are under the sentence of the death penalty worldwide as of 31 December 2010. The death penalty or otherwise known as the capital punishment is a legal process where a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. Currently it is only allowed in 32 states and has come to discussion if the death penalty should be reinstated back in the UK.

The four symbols chosen to represent my future include, a head with a puzzle piece representing its brain, a graduation cap alongside a diploma, an engagement ring, and a baby. The head with a puzzle piece for its brain resembles psychology. My goal in life is to go to university and become a child psychologist. I have always been fond of helping children with learning disabilities, mental illnesses and everything involving that particular subject. The graduation cap and diploma represents graduating from high school and university. Since my parents never had the opportunity to finish their education, I am determined to do so. I will be the first one in my family to attend university. I drew an engagement ring because I want to get married in the future and start my own family. Lastly, I drew a baby because I want to have kids once I finished my education and have a staple

The pencil liberates my stresses and sorrows. Bare and unimpeded, my mind is able to isolate itself from anything that was happening in my life. At my art table, which is merely an escape from reality, my curiosity is able to wander. Within this room, five blank canvas's look in on me as I become a mold of my imagination. A step inside my world develops into a sea of color and exploration. The vibrancy of the walls resonates throughout. Over the years, my room has served as my oasis. It’s my escape from monotonous and mundane routines. It’s my exploration of another side of me. I observe such works of art almost as much as I create. Taking notice of my classmates’ innovations and inspired by their creativity, my paintbrush begins to alleviate stress. I strive to produce pieces others will appreciate, but often find myself to be the true admirer. My pride, in this world, is driven simply by my own curiosity to express myself. I credit this side of me as the “passion” that supplements my insane drive for success. This passion has sparked critical thinking in me as well as how I see failure. Life is a blank canvas and you can truly draw whatever you want, and if you fail, you start over and don’t make that same mistake again! Hard work takes ideas quite far, but true success is derived from ingenuity and the generation of

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.

It was record breaking temperatures on this July 4th day. Red, white, and blue filling up the stands. Fans and umbrellas protecting spectators from the heat of the sun. It was about game time and I was getting ready to take the field for the last home game. Butterflies in my stomach, but I had to tell myself “it’s just another game”. Even though in my heart I knew it was not just another game.

“Never give up on a dream just because of the time it takes to accomplish it.” Earl nightingale. The last time I set a goal in seventh grade I accomplished it even tho it took a lot of time and effort. My goals this year I would like to accomplish is keeping my grades up, getting better in science, and keep on doing good in math.

Of course the norm for me is that of any citizen living in zone three.

Her father’s words echoed through her head as one might hear a reverberation throughout the Taj Mahal. Continuous. Chilling. Having no control to distill the wavelengths until they mellowed out on their own accord. She tried to anatomize the depth of his phrase, more than dutifully needed but Davina needed to know why. Why did she need to keep an open mind and more importantly, who the hell was about to come bursting through that door. But then again, did it really matter in the first place. When she thought about it, the brunette could have laughed at the idea. That an unattributed, faceless figure had her panties in a bunch. Surely Dominic wouldn’t think to waste her time with venial diversions,

I have a lot goals, and how I’m going to achieve them, I’ll start by hanging with good friends that do righteous things, have the same goals like me, and they won’t be able to distract me if I got stuff to make at school, they will also

The picture of the crossroad sign presents a way of life for countless teenagers that are my age. As of now, at the age of 16 years, there are numerous decisions I must settle sine they will ultimately impact the outcome of my future as I prepare to graduate. I selected this picture because it represents the many paths that I can take in my life. It shows that I am not obligated to choose the path that is most taken and that the possibilities are endless. After choosing a path, there will always be another crossroad for me, therefore I don’t have to worry as much.

In conclusion, keeping my head straight and with a positive attitude will be the key to my success. I am positive if I stick to my plan and follow these steps I will be successful in this class. Procrastinating is not an option during the duration of this semester. I am aware that leaving assignments to the last minute will only hurt my grade at the end of the semester. By dismissing distractions and staying focused I know I will be successful in this class. My goal is to follow this plan to pass this class

(To Macbeth) O my worthiest cousin. Just a moment the sin of my ingratitude ever now is

The, “War on Drugs” has been an ongoing debate in many circles for much longer than most people know. Starting in the late 1800’s, drug regulations and laws have been imposed upon American society and, although they have changed and been manipulated to fit different policies, by different politicians with different agendas, they are still in effect today. These laws and regulations may be in place for the safety of society or, according to some, are a way for the federal government to control the American population. With the many different effects, uses or styles of drugs available both legally and illegally there are countless reasons why these regulations are in place, but equally as many examples of why they are not needed or are detrimental to our culture. The more recent regulations have brought about more negative issues in society than the positive result they were intended for. The initiation of the War on Drugs as a peacemaking criminological approach to drugs in an effort to eliminate illegal drug use has failed resulting in overcrowding and dangerous prisons, increased violence and fatality rates in the underground drug trade and unjustifiable costs to the American taxpayer for the treatment and incarceration of those targeted. A look at a brief history of drugs in America will help put this failure into context.
