Personal Narrative: Christa Hayden

A lot have people have been nervous about their freshman year but eventually we all make friends and end off the year with a lot of great weird and sometimes depressing memories.

"If my men are too scared to return without Hannah Curtis, I will happily let Miss Curtis kill them. There is no room for cowardice in these ranks, boys. I, however, am no coward and an honorable warrior will let me go free back to my Queen." The Commander sounds disgusted as he raises his voice to address me, assuming I'm somewhere near him. Which is true, obviously, yet he can't be sure.

I was born on the thirteenth of May in the year 2000 to Clair and Jay Brake. At the time, my parents still lived in Mocksville, North Carolina, so I was born in Davis Hospital. I weighed 6 pounds. When I was three, on August the twenty ninth, my little brother Jason was born. My earliest memory is of Dad holding Jason on the first night back from the hospital, and I asked why Mom hadn’t come home with us yet. Dad said she needed to heal from Jason, and I went to bed.

When people hear the word bay they think of the body of water. I think of my cousin. Rebecca Bay. Her tan skin. Her dark skin. All the skids on her knees. When we were nine she started to teach me to skateboard. When we were eleven she started to surf. She acts like her feet are never supposed to touch the ground, just hover close to it.

In third grade I met my best friend, Kasi. We both were in different classes but she was down the hallway from me. Automatically I noticed she had hair the same color as mine; strawberry blonde! We instantly clicked and became best friends. In fourth grade we were in the same classroom so we spent a lot of time together and got to know eachother better. One day she rode home with me from school and my mom noticed how much we look alike, since she never seen Kasi in person before she instantly called us twins. Kasi was telling me her whole name and it is Kasandra Lee Deloy, we have the same middle name as well! Ever since that day we called each other twins and have tricked many people. We have switched classes, and no one has noticed and went

My senior year of high school was really lonely. I had gotten into a drama filled fight with my closest friends at the end of junior year, so my senior year I was voted off the friendship island and outcasted. Sure, I probably could have attempted to fix things, but I was stubborn and insisted on isolation rather than forgiveness. It was a really hard year for me emotionally between losing some great friends and the idea of college in the back of my mind. Who was I going to be? Where was I going to go? Would I ever make anymore friends? It seemed many of my classmates were busy making memories with their friends as our high school days were dwindling down, memories they would remember forever and there I sat hidden in the background, admiring from afar. It broke my heart, and to be honest with you... it just really sucked. I tried my best to make the most of it. I spent a lot of time that year with my nose in a book. It was my own unique way of making memories that year with no one else except myself and some truly memorable characters.

“The only real stumbling block is fear of failure,” said late Julia Child, an American chef I look up to. Indeed, failures related to cooking have massively impacted my personality and taught me several lessons in life that I cherish the most.

Sophomore and junior year basically felt like two years in one. Just like freshman year, I was the new kid on the block. My dad got sole custody of my brother and I and drove through several states just to get us. I was mad at first and I hated Tishomingo, and all I thought about was being able to move back in with my mom after sophomore year was up. But by the time second semester came around, I was able to make friends who I thought understood me, and I no longer wanted to move. Eventually the year was over and it was Junior year in the blink-of-an-eye. Junior year was my best high school year which included me joining band for the first time, dating the love of my life, and finding out who my true friends were.

Ever since I was a kid I’ve wanted to have a sibling. I remember seeing other siblings interact while I was wishing I had somebody to call my little brother or sister. Little did I know that soon my wish would come true.

If there was one person that I could know for my entire life, it would be my best friend. I have many best friends, but if I had to choose one, it would be Grace Whalen. Grace is very wild at times and she can always put a smile on my face, which is why she is my best friend and why I value our friendship. She is always there to make me happy. Also, we go on crazy, “adventures,” together, which is simply going to Seven Eleven. That is another thing that I am fond of, even the simplest things is like a great adventure. A best friend is someone who you would want to have in your live forever and that makes everything exciting, that friend is

Although my sister, Shelby, is an amazing scholar and likes school, I am not fond of it. The only thing I like about school is that I get to talk and socialize with my friends, in person, on a daily basis. I am not a learning type of person, unless what I am learning falls under one of my interests. I am interested in hunting, fishing, video games, and making cool or funny videos. I would like to make Youtube videos for a living, because I can decide my own hours and I can make videos easily while playing games with my friends or I can make tutorials on a wide variety of topics, like fixing and cleaning guns, what fishing baits to use, how to switch parts on cars, or even exposing simple video game

All my underclassmen years from ninth through eleventh were memorable, but my tenth grade year definitely takes first place.Being at Elsik high school was a jungle , and i wasn't ready.After that huge unknown substance fight in ninth grade , i was excited to be heading to main campus where the mature kids were. At least that's what i thought. My theory was somewhat true.The upperClassmen weren't really role models to look up to, but they didn't influence me. In ninth grade i was shy but it was time to break out of that bad habit. I ended up making a lot of people and ended up met my bestfriend ,Meizel. I would go to every pep rally just to watch her perform .Meizel was a reviler. Her and I went to every school function together, everything

As he walked away my smile grew until I was beaming. I cant believe it! He asked for my number! Me! Out of all people! I hope he texts me back.....

I was born on October 7,1996 in Bosnia and Herzegovina a few months after the war in Bosnia had stopped. When I was three years old I moved with my family to Lincoln Nebraska. I grew up in a nuclear family

Freshman and sophomore year just kinda floated by without a whistle, it wasn't until junior year that my life started to get a little more interesting again. We had moved houses once again this time into a 2 bath, 4 bed, 2 story house with a wraparound yard that seemed like an acer. We had gained 2 more pups at that time, a brindle great dane with the colors of deep fall and a Lab/Hound with the most amazing personality i’ve ever had the chance to love. We also grew our family up with 2 cute kitties, Titan with his fur white as snow and Addelaide, with the looks of an angel but the attitude of someone that’s bipolar and forgot to take their ADHD medicine. This is the house and life that my parents always wanted and now that they finally have it, we are content.
