Personal Narrative: E. T.

The jury system in America proved to be successful over the last couple of centuries. This is because the citizens of America form the jury, which in return provides a system that is fair. The “jury of our peers” needs to be upheld because it is the most effective way of upholding justice in the country. When random people are chosen to take part in the jury system and decide if a person is guilty or not, it gives unbiased and right fair judgment for the defendant. A “jury of peers” is the most successful way that justice can be decided unbiasedly, with protection for the defendant, and also provide citizens with a sense of duty to their government.

This tale, like many others begins with a human being(or at least that’s what i'm assuming). The human being question was of youngish age, whose name isn’t really important. The human being which from now on i’ll be referring to as Hue did something amazing. So amazing in fact that Hue almost didn't believe it himself/herself. This incredible deed was so unbelievably exceptional that no one in remembered history would ever match up or compare to what had just transpired. Now you might be asking to yourself, what he could have possibly done to have such an exorbitant prologue. Well you're about to find out.

It's a Friday afternoon, I plan to go to Great Wolf Lodge in an hour with my church. I see one of my friends so he says to his mom “ Hey, that's my friend” I said “Crap” So I go inside to sign in to go and see my friends just sitting in a corner on a big sofa. We are listening to music and just talking then a green bus comes.

It is true in life that everything happens for a reason. It is also true to say that sometimes it is all about being in the right place, at the right time. There was never a more prominent example of this than a traumatic summers evening, only a few years ago.

The rest of what I personally think and experienced of the Big E is that it is a good place to see various country people that I like to see at concerts. Its a place to find Christmas gifts for people. The exhibit where I can see real life bears such as a Grizzly through a big picture window is very cool. People can look at the bears from close distance. My Favorite state buildings to go to are Vermont and Rhone Island. I like the Vermont one because I usually can get Cheddar cheese out of Vermont there. I go to the Rhone Island one because I have frequently been there on day trips to their beaches. So I am just a fan of the place. Those things are what I like to experience about the Big E and for all I know is what people similarly go to

Institutional context is a basic structure that consists of federalism the party system the power of presidency, and the checks and balances system that shapes the public policy. With a serious distrust of government the presence of federal government and economics cultural and social has expanded into modernization and Technology. Distrust and the government produces no noticeable or dramatic improvements in the quality of life but it contributes a substantial resistance on new policies initiatives in healthcare education and consumers protection. Institutional contexts reflects what is done how is dying and who is involved in doing it. It embarks on initiatives that share a common interest of a collaboration. Intergovernmental are links between

An experience that has influenced my work and academic goals has been my family. My wife and I have one son, who departed for college this past weekend. His departure was a very emotional event for us because we did just about everything together (hockey, trips, etc). Four years ago, we brought in four siblings under foster care, which is the main topic for this essay. Four years ago, my wife and I were hoping to adopt one child and we were hoping to find a girl that needed what is commonly called a “forever home”. This process was extremely difficult as the system is not easy to navigate (I could be more blunt with this description but I won’t here). After many trials and tribulations with the foster/adoption system in Alaska, I had resigned

I had always been a “big” kid. That is what everyone said about me ever since I could remember being called “Big E” from my family, just like the hockey player Eric Lindros. Because of that I never had a problem with the terminology. In fact, I rather enjoyed being called that because it made me feel powerful and respected, like no one was going to have the nerve to pick on me because of my size. Other terms like “husky” and “big-boned” never incited any sort of hatred towards me or the people who said it (seeing as how they were always used in a comedic fashion). I loved getting that extra peace of steak at the end of dinner or the last piece of pizza because everyone knew I wanted it, even though I truly shouldn’t have had it.

I stare at the TV with incomplete fascination, my pencil tightly gripped in between my fingers.

It was a rainy afternoon-turned-evening and I was faced with the struggle of rummaging up something to eat. I was alone, and cooking for one is never that exciting (to me), I find a sweet pleasure in cooking for others, witnessing their satisfaction with each bite as your sign of endearment. Before I lamented at the thought of cooking for myself, a recipe popped into my mind, shifting my thoughts to excitement. It's one that I'd been wanted to try and just so happened to be the perfect meal to brighten up this grey day, plus it was simple, like really simple.

Some of the hardest things in life make you realize what you really appreciate. One such instance took place in a remote part of Wyoming far away from everything and everyone. However, such an experience made one couple closer and taught them how valuable family really is.

All I could think about was how bad my legs hurt. I had scratches from branches that tore away at my skin on my arms and legs, a terrible headache and my clothes had so many rips and tears that I couldn’t remember how I got. I couldn’t remember anything, not my name, what had happened or anything. I just didn’t know. All I knew is that I had been stumbling through the woods for quite some time. Well until I came to a road with tons of cars coming from every direction. I stepped one foot at a time onto the noisy road filled with commotion and so abruptly it all went black. I woke to nearly blinding lights shining above me and looked around to see the room of a hospital. As I tried to sit up I experienced a piercing pain that lasted until I finally

It was cold on the night of November 14th. My friend, her boyfriend and I were walking to Walmart, planning on getting cake ingredients for my friend’s grandmother’s birthday. On our way there my surroundings seemed rather quiet for it being Angola. I felt like something was wrong like something had happened. But I continued to toss the feeling aside and just walked the path that leads to the parking lot. I couldn’t help but look in between the trees that held pitch black darkness. I was worried that was where troubles may lie, I was wrong. My real problem all started with a simple phone call.

When I was 14 years old, my dad and I went rock climbing in the mountains with a friend and his son. It was the first time I had been rocking climbing anywhere outdoor. We had to hike in to the point where we could start climbing. We got to the top of the mountain and it was beautiful! On the hike down, my dad slipped in the snow and slid down the mountain. He hit a pile of rocks and broke his leg. I, being 14 and completely inexperienced, had to run down the mountain as fast as I could, while connected to a rope, to get to my dad and assess the situation. He dad had to spend the night on the mountain with our friend, while me and our friend's son were taken home by complete strangers at 3 in the morning. THe next day, I went into shock. I

When I was younger, my uncles to joke about the fact that I was americanized; that I didn’t know how life really was back in the motherland. I would just laugh and tell them to leave me alone. Then, I saw what they meant when we went to Africa in 2009.
