Personal Narrative Analysis

On the about last week of March, I, Sgt. A. Walton confiscated an unauthorized Casio G-Shock Gray/Black/Light Blue in color watch that was sent to Nottaway Correctional Center by Offender C. Barker #1421016 family member.

For many, their formative years have a large influence on who they become as adults. This can happen in many different ways including new experiences, discovering a new sport or hobby, and uncovering what they are passionate about. For me, this was falling in love with a new language from a very young age and becoming very interested in the culture that was associated with it.

At the end of my Junior year, I watched all of my older friends work on scholarships and prepare for graduation. Everyone seemed to know what they wanted to go to school for, and what they wanted to do after they graduated. While watching them, I began to reflect on the past school year, thinking back to the first week of school sitting in the locker room talking to to my friends about how we are ready to be seniors and figure out what we want to do with our lives. But, listening to all the seniors talking about their majors and schools, I began to feel nauseous. I had no clue what I wanted to do after high school. Was I supposed to have that figured out already? I then began to have questions thrown at me left and right throughout the summer.

“You have SVT” said the nurse across the room. A month earlier, at a track meet, I breathed heavily, staggering to the long jump pit. Maybe the familiar bass drum in my chest was nerves? The nurse tapped her pin. Sitting in a little room at the Heart Center of Nationwide Children's Hospital I was lost. Questions flooded my mind. I blankly stared at the nurse staring back at me. “Ultimately you have three options,” the nurse nodded with a half smile, “one of these options, we don’t offer often: a cure.”

Picture this. The first rays of sunlight pierce the sky; smears of red and orange chasing away the darkness as its queen retreats behind the horizon. Dew shimmers across the fields of grass and clings to the branches of the trees. An elk’s call fills the early morning silence, answered by the bay of wolves. Their hunt is short; within moments the wolves have killed the weakest out of the herd of elk. They proceed to fill their bellies and chew the marrow from the bones before heading back to their den. Elsewhere, a similar scene starts the day. Only this elk’s call is met with the loud report of a rifle; the echo bounces off the crags of the Rockies. Having successfully made a kill, the hunter and his guide move in to snap pictures

event. The fact of the matter was, the men that knew about the site had been killed earlier on by the Mexicans. No one knew about it until, than one US Army Colonel Clayton arrived and asked them why they didn’t use any of the gear in the bunker. Of course, the Marines response to that question was, ‘What bunker?’

In my last video, I noticed that I still had zero confidence in myself, like in the last paragraph, I thought I was going to be horrible and I was correct. What went well was that when I sang the second time, my hand signs were not all over the place, I was actually able to match them to the note I was singing. What did not go so well was when I sang the first time, I got mixed up and started to sing some of my partners part and some of my part. For vocal technique, I did not stay on beat, I went too fast and ended up finishing early. For this singing check, I was nervous because I was singing with someone else who was singing something completely different than me.

I am not going to lie, it took me a quick minute to figure out how to actually access the Atomic Learning tutorials that were meant for us to watch. I was too stuck exploring the main webpage to see what was right in front of my face. However, once I did find were the links were located, I did really enjoy the content of each tutorial. My laptop currently is running Windows 7 and as we all know that was the first section of tutorials. There are many interesting features hidden within the Windows 7 platform that I myself was not aware of. Just to touch on a few of my personal favorites, one of which being the "Aero Snap" feature which allows you to easily resize and reposition the size of the screen you are using. This allows you to view each

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

I had never thought you would forget about me. But, still, when I saw your email crop up, I was like getting electrified. So, no need to apologize. Knowing that I did make the cut for your potential new project is worth all the time, which was zipping by anyway.

In 5th and 6th grade I hated singing. I thought I was awful at it. Then I joined the choir in 7th grade. I thought it would get me out of the classes I hate, but after the 1st quarter I felt way different about it.

Season three of my life I would have to say is the best so far but I pray that it gets better. Once I graduate from High School I went right to work. I had moved out of my sister and I was finally independent. I got a small apartment downtown Los Angles, CA. I got my first real job working at Boeing in the mailroom in Long Beach. Her son worked in the wireless industry selling cellphone in Canoga Park. Canoga Park was a big change for me. It was a great environment that I can to love. I fell in love with this environment because everyone was in charge of his or her own destiny. For the first time in my life I felt hope. I could make as much money that I wanted to and I love that. I also loved the environment because I was around so many other

During Spring Quarter of freshman year, I lost a family member that was battling cancer for a while. My aunt was the closest person to me and she was the only mentor I had growing up. She encouraged and supported me through high school and the start of collage. This was one of the hardest times of my life. Her last few months took a huge toll on me because I had to juggle attending and focusing on my classes and spending nights at the hospital. My friend also passed away right before my freshman year spring quarter finals week from a car accident. It was too late for me to withdraw from any of my classes at the time but I knew that I did not have it in me to make it through the last week of school. I studied for my finals while we prepared

This week was a little challenging. On Tuesday June 7th I went out to take a client to look for housing and apply for apartments. The client informed me that she had an eviction four years ago. I was not aware of the situation until on my way to take the client to apply. My client was so excited that she was going to get a second chance at renting again. I had to inform her that she was not going to be able to apply unless she had fulfilled the judgment of her eviction. The client was so upset because if she does not find housing for her and her children the Division of Family service will take custody of her children. I had to make a few calls and there was this man by the name of GR Myers who rents to people who has been evicted. He called

Looking back on my younger days, I realized that I'd come a long way from childhood. I've grown from a small child to a mature, smart young lady. There are some things I have changed dramatically, and there are some I've kept because it’s a part of me in a positive way. Back when I was younger, people knew me as the girl that’s very shy and didn’t talk to anyone. Since then my personality is through the roof, people attach themselves to me easily. Now people know me as the girl that smile all the time, very positive, uplifting, active, and likes to have fun. At times it can be a bit much, so I love being home alone in my world relaxing, taking a break from everyone's energy around me, or detoxing myself from people emotions.
