Personal Narrative: Fixed Old Electronics

I should get my phone back because i have now learned my lesson about being more responsible and doing the daily things i should do.

One of my greatest skills and talents is working with technology and coding websites, I started coding a website on my own around the age of 12 and 13. I got into computers because of gaming. Once I started finding out how to code I wanted to build my own computer, I started gathering parts to build my own computer every since I was 13. I coded my own website on my own with no help at all fluently, It took me a month to make a simple website which made me realize that one of my talents is working with computers from the inside out. I never really shared this talent with anybody before besides my family members and a few friends, I am the first person they come to when it comes to technology like phones, computers, game systems, anything dealing

“...all I knew was I had something going on with the electrical panels. The TV popped and started smoking, threw it outside. I don’t remember if the power was out and that’s why I called UPPCO, or if I just called them because I had concerns. I believe the power was out. At that point the power went out, but I am not positive on that. I can’t remember for sure. I do know– I went down to look at my fuses, and they were blown,

As a teenager, I spent hours stripping down and attempting to repair items I found lying around our house or by the neighbors trash. I enjoyed seeing the old circuit boards, the jumble of colorful electric wiring, and the assortment of transistors

I had a strange, ominous feeling before anyone one else in my family. My sister, Larissa, began driving with a permit a few weeks ago. The sensation that typically arose when she took control behind the wheel resembled the feeling one experiences during a test drive with an unsafe and unfamiliar car. Being a passenger as she was steering was like being on a slippery road of ice where any slight, sudden movement caused a sharp jolt of the entire car. My mom, Rita, was constantly panicking over Larissa’s safety. As a child, my mom acted caring and slightly overprotective, but I just assumed it was her maternal instinct. Lately, she had been acting extremely nervous because my dad was teaching Larissa how to drive, but he isn’t a professional or anything. My father, Louis, was certain his lessons would suffice. He continually practiced with Larissa, for he is a very determined person. Besides

One phrase I never understood while growing up was “your life is in your own hands”. To be fair, I never put much thought into this phrase, as I was used to being taken care of. I took for granted that I would wake up happy every day because I didn’t know any different. Life wasn’t always easy but I had a good attitude towards it.

I'm sorry, I understand why you took my iPod away; I will try to do better. I get why you made that decision, but it has been four months without it. It's really not the olden days and we need technology to help us be safe. When I had the iPod I could text and let you know where I was, what I was doing, and you could contact me when you needed me.

My build of the pipe xylophone started with a trip to the hardware store, which involved picking up two 8 foot lengths of 2 inch PVC piping and a single 8 foot length of 2x4. I then took these parts back to my workshop, and started cutting the PVC pipe to approximate length, according to a spreadsheet I found online, then tuning the pipes using Ableton Live’s integrated tuning plugin, to achieve a pitch that correlated to notes on a scale (C4-C5). After I had 8 lengths of PVC pipe that produced the desired notes, I began to mount them onto a piece of 2x4 that I had cut to length in order to fit all 8 lengths of PVC on to it. Each section of PVC is mounted to the 2x4 with a single 1 ½ inch conduit mount.

Racing 150 miles per hour through the streets of California in 80 thousand dollar cars; that’s my life and ill take you through the beginning. It all started when I was in high school one day after school I seen my friend Jake with a 1994 Toyota Supra. I swear that car had everything done to it, it easily could have had 80 thousand dollars worth of parts in that car. I was amazed and was so curious how he got the money for that car. He told me to meet him at the body shop on North Avenue at 9 o’clock. He picked me up there and we went to this street where tons of amazing cars were lined up. We drove up next to this Mazda and then everyone started cheering and going wild. Jake looked at me, smiled, then asked “are you ready?”. Then this girl

Batteries I need. For Thomas the small train toy with the light blue cab, a smiling face in the front and a gold number 1 one on its side saying that it's the best. I would always see Thomas everywhere to the tv screens or the magazines, shelf racks in Toys R Us and even classmates talking about it in the school bus. But now I have him and batteries already in. It even came with a set of blue railroad tracks and then I turned into Bob the Builder. I made the track into the perfect rounded rectangle and set Thomas on the track with his cargo of many cars and flipped the switch to on. There he goes, as fast as a turtle, circling the track covering many distances. I layed down on my side and pretended that I was a gentle giant conductor. As if

As I’m nervously pacing back and forth, listening to the clattering and banging of the air conditioning system, I continuously think of how the events of tonight could go. Thoughts of unforetold incidents and malfunctions are racing through my mind. What if the she doesn’t show? What if there’s not enough food or I mess this up in some grand way? I decided to stop thinking about it and be productive. I accompany Freddie, the mechanic who is fixing the air conditioning for tonight. “Hello, Freddie. How are things coming along? Would you like any refreshments?” I force through anxiety filled thoughts of the night, socializing has never been a strong point of mine. “That would be great, thanks Mister.” Freddie is a smart man, but not much for

A. Computer is a multi tasking device we can use it as a different kinds of ways. But present days almost every computer is interlinked with the WEB for example we need to develop a research paper on particular subject or we need to update latest software versions in to our computer we definitely have to have a WEB. Yes according to my personnel experience I will be using the computer to check my daily updates by using email and WEB.

I’m no quitter; I persevere under burdensome conditions. I have loved writing the words on this page for five years and “to love is to lay yourself open to loss”.

The beginning of this story isn’t about me. It’s about my sister and the decisions that she decided to make. Little did I know, her decisions affected me just as much as it did her.

The luxury TV time was here and there, but I didn’t mind not having it if it meant I could spend more time with my grandma! As this process continued I was learning what family truly meant to me and the sacrifices you had to make for your loved ones. The word family began to have a deeper meaning to me. Family meant that no matter what bumps in life we hit, we still have a support system, people that love you no matter what. My grandmother had that in me and my mother. If she knew she had someone who cared for her and would never leave her side that pretty smile that I will never forget, would shine brightly.
