Personal Narrative Essay On The Herd

Responsibility isn’t for everyone, and it definitely isn't for the lazy. I started the summer of 2016 out by catching at the Calf Scramble in Houston and have only grown to love my heifer. Calf Scramble has not only brought me closer to the animal, but to my family too.

After graduating high school, I went on to attend Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, FL, where I pursued a degree in pre-pharmacy while doing track and field. After being there and becoming homesick after 6 months, I decided to go back home (Atlanta, GA). I thought I was ready for the college life, but I just was not. So I attended a technical college to pursue a lesser dream and become a pharmacy technician. While only being a technician for about 3 years I was able to purchase my own home at the age of 21! Purchasing my own home was a great accomplishment for me. I later got engaged and married that same year, 2008, to the love of my life at that time. In the year of 2009 I had a handsome baby boy whom I named Cardoza. My marriage began to get rocky and my career began to come to a stand still and boring. My husband at the time and I separated and my career led me to Florida. When I first came to Florida I was able to transfer my job as working as a retail pharmacy technician. After coming into difficulties with keeping my insurance and a consistent work schedule to maintain 40 hours a week, I started searching for another job.

Some people think of them as animals. Some people think of them as objects. Some people think of them as friends. Then there are the few who think of them as family. Horses have always been like family to humans, except sometimes closer. There are many benefits to owning or being around horses. They come in many different colors. There is a multitude of breeds, also. Additionally, they have a long history with humans. Horses have unique behaviors. Showing horses has been the past-time or even career of many people. Furthermore, caring for horses can be a handful, but is definitely rewarding. Finally, riding horses is not just a hobby or a sport, but an action of your heart. Horses are wondrous creatures that have lived with man or

I wanted to do better, until I get the most unexpected news ever. It was happening again, but this time wasn't just another house down the road, it was back to Maine. Even though I grew up here I honestly didn't want to come back. I felt I was doing great but really I was comfortable. I complained but in the end I had to face it. This unexpected move took two weeks for us to leave and get to Maine. We stayed with my aunt for about six months, then moved right back to the same old house in Alfred. I'm glad to be back, but I wonder what it would be like if I stayed but what matters it what happened and what it did. I thought through those three years that my life was ruined and my future was ruined, but in a way, it's helped. I hate to admit it, but it showed, because I now have more confidence and passion than ever.

It was the middle of October, and it was finally time for my long awaited moose hunt. I have waited ever since I was a little girl for this opportunity, and it was finally here. So, my father and I packed up our stuff and left the warmth of Phoenix. We were leaving the "Valley of the Sun" and headed for a place called Wyoming. After two days and fourteen long hours of driving, we made it to our hunting unit.

Narrator: It was a cold, rainy night in the middle of the Chihuahuan Desert. There was a run-down, isolated shack roughly 200 miles away from the Mexico-U.S. border. This is where the coyotes live. Jasmina knew that she would have to collaborate with these men in order to have any fighting chance of surviving the dangerous journey into U.S soil.

In 2009 I remember finding out I was three months pregnant. I was kinda excited but not really. I then realized that I had to make a few life changes quick in order to become more stable. I had to make a career change and make a choice on a career path that would allow me to work and have time at home. I finally realize that I would have to get a degree in a field that is in high demand and will never have to worry about down sizing or going out of business. That is when I had to think of what I enjoyed doing the most.

As a St. James middle school boy, I was all about hunting, even though I hadn’t ever been. My dad, being the awesome guy that he is, said he’d take me if I genuinely wanted to go. Little did I know, my dad had been studying up for this on YouTube because he knew the worst part comes after you shoot a deer and have to clean it. He watched video after video learning how to properly clean a deer before you take it to a shop for it to be processed. The only thing that I knew I wanted to do was shoot a deer!

When I was first hired I was told I would have 30 days from the start day to sign up for benefits. The date by which I had to sign up by was 03/20/16 a Sunday; I tried to get on, on the 03/18/16, but it would not let me. I called the helpline to get my password reset to gain access to the online portal; whenever I received access it said there were no available sessions for enrollment. My manager informed me to come in on Saturday 03/19/16 and he would help me further, he was not able to locate it either. He then informed me to make a benefits appeal, because I had tried to get enrolled before the cutoff date. I have two pictures, to show the information that was displayed and the date. Thank you for your time and

Me against a twelve hundred pound cow, sounds crazy right? The fury in her eyes, nostrils flared, kicking and slamming her body against the side of the trailer. I had to do this though, fair was only six months away. It was going to be a tough journey but I, had to tame the beast. Success is a feeling of contentment, pride, and excitement. All of those feelings come to mind when I think of my experience breaking my first cow two years ago. The hard work and dedication put into it truly paid off in the end and taught me a lesson in perseverance.

It’s been almost a week since my last entry, but a lot has happened. I provided a cure for a group of people suffering from a deadly epidemic that mutated them into horrible beasts and saved them from their oppression, gained two new traveling companions -- a Twi’lek, named Mission, and a Wookie, named Zaalbar --, had a life debt pledged to me, got involved in a gang war, discovered Bastila had been captured and was the prize in an upcoming swoop race, obtained sponsorship for said swoop race, and broke into the Black Vulkar’s base to steal a prototype accelerator. To be honest, I’m exhausted, but my anxiety has been keeping me up all night. Tomorrow is the race, and I’ve never ridden a swoop bike before. Part of me wonders how I got myself

Growing up in a tight box that I always had to try to fit into, I never knew any different. The expectations, the standards, the cruel words and the harsh stares. Being an outcast amongst others or being verbally battered for reasons I could never fully understand. These were all aspects that were prevalent in my life because I was the Pastor’s daughter, and they were problems I had always viewed as a normality.

My uncle found Steve and me jobs and willing spon-sors, and three years later we emigrated to New Jersey. We were beyond excited! We felt as though the world was at our feet, and we were moving on to a new and exciting chapter of our lives.

My uncle David called and asked if i wanted to go hunting and I said “sure” he said “ok” so i packed my bag and went over to his house And i spent the night.While i was there he taught me how to clean a gun and he showed me videos how to clean a deer.

I could see the trees and the dead leaves on the ground. I could

What is society and how did it help shape me into the person I am today? First, society is the state of living in organized groups of people. These organized groups of people are the ones that made me who I am today and will continue to shape me, as I grow older. My version of society is white middle class people who grow up going to catholic schools. These white middle class people are only associated with other white middle class people, and very seldom venture out of this little society. As stupid as that sounds to not associate with other people it is true. The reason this is true is because of where I live, where I go to school, and who my friends are. I guess it is just like
