Personal Narrative Analysis

Kevin and I stepped into a whole new world in the fall of 2009. We began our degree program at Emmanuel School of Religion, which is now called Emmanuel Christian Seminary. We were working on our Masters of Arts and Religion. I was excited and nervous about going back to college. Our first day was terrifying. Kevin and I attended orientation the week prior to classes starting. There was a definite realization this academic program was going to be a challenge. However, I wanted a challenge. On the first day of class, we started with Greek. Our professor was Dr. Marwede. He opened the class with a test. He came over to my chair first and handed me a paper with a list of Greek words on it. My immediate reaction was shock, which Dr. Marwede realized I was overwhelmed by the look on my face. He told the class we could take it home as homework. Many of the students in the Greek class had previous experience with Greek; however, Kevin and I had no knowledge at all. We were overwhelmed. We were assigned five chapters and told to return the next day for a quiz with our homework.

Remember, the perpetrator can create multiple diseases simultaneously to make the victim restless, angry, and loose cool. But I suffered through all these calmly; I know this is the only way to win. Winning is important because I take this as a game, and If I fail, then disappointed and angry. I am not expecting to win all the time, I am aware. Finally, I have to surrender. Now I am on the verge of defeat.

Did you know that the idea of New Year’s Resolutions came from the ancient Babylonians, around 4000 years ago. They actually celebrated it around May, when crops were planted, they made offerings to the gods, promising to pay off debts and things such as. This was also a way to show loyalty to the king and the gods. Today this tradition, although changed, still continues. With over 78 percent of Americans celebrating it, a lot of resolutions are made. Some of my own include training Spanky, fixing my truck, and getting my driver's license.

The lush landscaping and secluded setting of Winchester Place apartments enables residents to enjoy the quiet life in Northwest Houston while still being minutes from Beltway 8 and Highway 290 when they need to get to downtown Houston.

Experiencing something for the first time can give lead to different emotions depending on what the encounter is. One can feel really happy if the scenario turns out the way they want it to. For example, when I was six years old, I remember telling my parents about how I wanted a dog. Everyday I would show them a picture of a dog on the internet, and ask if I could have one. My parents never really gave me a complete answer when I asked. They would usually respond with, “ I am not sure”, or “let me think about it”. However, one day when I came home from school, my parents told me to close my eyes. Once I closed my eyes, they lead me to the backyard. I could hear a high pitched bark coming from a distance. My heart started to pound, and it felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. As I open my eyes, I first see the bright sunlight coming in, which was blocking most of my vision. Once my eyes finally became adjusted, I see a little puppy right in front of

When you’re younger you don’t really think of the negatives from not doing homework. I know when I was younger, I often found myself pushing everything off till the last minute and as a result my grade would never be as good as my sisters. My sister was the prodigy child and since she was two years older than me, I was always held to her standards. Everything she did I was two steps behind and that ate me alive. That was the one way she knew how to get under my skin and she loved to rub that in my face.

If anyone had told my 5 year old self that I would be capable to communicate with members of different communities, that I would be graduating from a high school in the United States with honors, or that I would be on my way to a highly competitive university of California; I would have not believed them in a single one, let alone that all those things would be possible in a couple of years.

Furniture, valuables, and boxes are stacked all the way to the ceiling. By this time, I have been accustomed to the process of putting my valuables in a storage locker. I had to leave my house and stay with a friend of the family. From middle school to my sophomore year of high school, I lived in seven different places. Therefore, it was convenient to have a storage locker to keep my belongings in. It was comforting to know that my stuff would still be there when I found a permanent place to stay.

Going to high school with a convict father was one of the biggest challenges of my life. I had a great relationship with my dad, when he was arrested I was devastated because I knew my life wouldn’t be the same. I was living under a one income family that didn’t make much so money was very tight, I was using my siblings’ hand-me-down clothes and I was not able to go out to enjoy a lunch with friends since my mom couldn’t afford to give me a little extra cash. I started freshman year seeing my mom struggle to keep all three of my siblings and me on course with our studies and behavior. I started to rebel against my mom’s authority because I felt as though I could do what I want because no one was there to back my mom up like my dad would. I

Dictionary.com defines a period as “a point used to mark the end of a sentence.” This describes me best, as I am usually the one who draws the line. One example on why my personality is like a period is Whenever My friends want to go out, or meet up at a place, I usually don’t go since I have work. For example, if my friends and I wanted to go out on a saturday, I most likely wouldn't be able to go, since I would be occupied with other things.

I vividly remember trying to sleep when the air was heavy and musty, so much so that I was felt like there was a natural order preventing me from breathing enough air to sustain my body for another seven hours. I laid in bed, quietly terrified – wondering if this is the life that I am destined to follow, living in unfinished basements where it floods when it rains too much and bugs crawl along the walls and dressers. It would not be the worst fate but it would not be preferable by any means. Finally, willing myself to step out of bed (again), I grab my half-finished green tea and watch a documentary in the “upstairs” portion (separated by three steps) to forget my worries until the next night. Close to drinking the honey and tea mixture, I see an abnormal shape at the bottom of my mug – a house centipede that was enticed by the sweet honey but unfortunately was unable to escape its viscous grasp and drowned in my lukewarm tea. I didn’t scream, I didn’t cry; all I was capable of thinking

I may have had many painful experiences.You may be thinking that I may have not suffered tragedies, but as in life,many challenges occur as you progress in this life.As many as I’ve had I have survived many unexpected things.Let me tell you now that I do not like heights.I’m not phobic or anything but I have fallen just by looking down a scary, high cliff or ledge.

As the bright sky fades into darkness, layers of torrential rain begin to fall and the wind accelerates to form a violent tornado that swallows everything in its path. Lightning irradiates the sky and raging rumbles of thunder follow. Floods and mudslides fill the land. No life will survive, nor will any house. No one knows how long this storm will last. As time goes by, the storm eventually subsides and a bright sun illuminates the sky; revealing the disastrous results. The land is filled with debris and remnants of houses and buildings, but there is only one thing that persevered through the storm. It is a boulder of magnificent size, which neither moved an inch nor eroded. This boulder is a mirror image of myself. After taking so many hits
