Personal Narrative Analysis

Jerry wakes up in a dissociative state still hungover from the previous night’s drug binge, nullifying the pain with a fluffy, symmetrical line of Peruvian cocaine and a tightly packed bowl of luminescent green, trichome plastered cannabis nug sourced from California out of his Illadelph bong; naturally, Jerry was quite the aficionado in recreational drug use and progressive dependency. As dopamine floods his prefrontal cortex he’s invigorated with a renewed sense of grandiosity; he looks in the mirror, his eyes are sunken in, the pallor of his complexion is ghostly, an apparition of a once revered public figure. He averts his eyes to his many awards and commendations for a brief moment, before the cannabis takes effect. He brushes

Heels together, feet at a forty-five degree angle. Weight equally distributed between both legs," the commander stated with a confident tone in a respectable manner. "Chest is to be lifted and slightly arched so that your arms hang naturally along the seams of your trousers." I was quickly overwhelmed by the meticulous instructions as I attempted to follow. "Adjust your skull so that your head is aligned with your spine. At this position you will not move or speak unless directed otherwise." I could only reflect on the concept of standing completely still, so much as to forget what the leader had stated so clearly. But then I remembered that this challenge was what I had volunteered for, and l refocused on the task at hand. It was the first day of summer school, just before my senior year, at Massanutten Military Academy.

From the moment I was able to tie my shoes and button my jacket, I knew I wanted to be a doctor. While all my classmates at the La Petite Academy made macaroni trees and smiley faces, I drew myself with a stethoscope curing a poor man with the cold. Every year in elementary school, we had career day. Never straying from my love to helping others I wanted to be a surgeon one year, to a dentist the next, and even an obstetrician, I changed my mind quickly once I found out what they did. Looking back on my childhood, I always had a connection with animals and always loved being around them. Early mornings I would open our nearly frozen-shut windows listening to the birds calling. Beside from the squawking of the crows, I heard a soft, pleasant yet curious bird call. It stuck out to me

All I wanted to do was get up and get out. God had favor over me that day, just as he always does, and all of a sudden I jumped up. It felt like I was being held under water, and that first grasp of air just woke me up. That morning I immediately packed all my stuff and moved out of my friends house and never looked back. Going back home was not an option, so I moved in with my boyfriend (my husband now) and his family, it was not ideal, but it was the safest place for me, and the place I felt the safest. I did graduate high school, it took summer school as well as night school to get back on track, but I was determined. I had my daughter at 19 and my son at 21, so with two kids at such a young age, I had to prioritize, so college was put on hold until now. It has been a long road, but I refuse to allow my past define who I am and where I am going. It has been difficult being a young mother, and fighting for a marriage after 25 years, but God is good and He makes a way every time. The day I gave my life to Jesus was the day I never felt fear, worry, guilt, or shame

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.

By the time I reached Kindergarten and started my middle childhood years I already possessed several gross and fine motor skills. A few of these gross motor skills which I possessed were the ability to catch a ball, climb a flight of stairs without help, and the ability to stand on one foot for a given amount of time. A few of my fine motor skills were the ability to draw shapes, cut on a straight line, and to color within the designated lines. Upon entering Kindergarten I had an accident where I cut off the tip of my right index finger. I had to keep my finger bandaged for the first nine weeks of Kindergarten therefore it delayed a few of my fine motor skills. By the end of Kindergarten and the beginning of my 1st grade year I learned fine

It was fall of 2013. It was the perfect temperature outside. The leaves on the trees were changing so fast to shades of gold, red, orange, and brown, that it was like they were changing as we drove by them on our way to the fair. You could see the lights coming from the four states fair a quarter of a mile away. You could practically smell the food coming from the food vendors. We were almost there. When we arrived at the fair you could hear the people screaming on the rides. As we got our tickets I had already wondered into the entrance of the fair. My mom had to come get me so that I could get my share of the tickets. When we all finally went through the entry I could smell cotton candy, funnel cakes, hot dogs, and all sorts of foods. Then I started to get hungry.

Growing up, my parents and I always took the time to read stories together. Before bed, before school, while playing with dolls in the bathtub. Fiction and nonfiction stories alike taught me about both the physical, literal world around me, and the world I could create in my own mind when I needed to find comfort. It was through the works of fiction, however, that I learned despite the hardships of life, I could disappear into a world I could mold however I pleased.

Once upon a time, there was an illegal immigrant named Rosa she came from a poor family and her mother left her when she was 4 years old for another man.

Walking the overgrown paths in the expansive woods behind my house, I tried again to escape the claustrophobia of the cul-de-sac and the boredom of a small town. The forest was my sanctuary, and I walked knowing every rock, root, and bush. Then suddenly, it was different. My eyes hit the familiar clearing ahead, and I launched into a sprint through the underbrush, leaping up and over the barbed wire-topped rock wall. Landing with a whoop of delight, I eyed the novelty, a huge, brown steer, staring back at me. Molten joy turned to icy fear, and the steer began to charge. Thirty seconds of terror later, I noticed two things as I heaved against a maple tree: my now dung-covered shoes were ruined, and my curiosity was finally piqued.

Most of your posting was geared towards something I mentioned in mine, and I couldn’t agree more. How exactly do we combat the nature of warfare used against us for the last 13 years? How do we counter the ruthless tactics? Using women and children as shields and weapons themselves, seeking shelter in mosques, suicidal tactics and IEDs? Up-armored vehicles and better equipment will only go so far, and while we’ve made huge leaps in the realm of modernizing our force, I don’t believe it to be enough.

I was born on July 24, 2003 in Stuart, FL. I’ve lived in the same house in Palm

As well as there is the other sentence in this article said, “They undoubtedly saw rainbow patterns in the misty spray, but were convinced they had discovered a fairy grotto.” I would like to visit South Island and Milford Sound again as last time I did not see a rainbow. I would imagine that I rotate my neck to see the rainbow, it would be as a heaven, discovered a fairy grotto. Event though, “Jessie explains that Milford Sound is actually a fiord, carved out by a glacier and then flooded by the sea, whereas a sound is a flooded river valley.” For my opinion, it seems that Milford Sound is just a fiord rather than a sound. However, it is still the most experienced traveller, which means you won’t regret to travel under the one of the most

While growing up, people are often saying to others the same cliche things over and over again about taking things for granted, such as “life is short, live every moment like it’s you’re last” and “don’t take anything for granted, it could happen to you”. Both of these phrases applied to me this summer more than I would have prefered. This summer I went through a life changing car accident that brought me back down to reality and helped me realize how I blessed I am to have the things I do in life.
