Personal Narrative: Giving Back

Growing up with a father in the military, you move around a lot more than you would like to. I was born just east of St. Louis in a city called Shiloh in Illinois. When I was two years old my dad got the assignment to move to Hawaii. We spent seven great years in Hawaii, we had one of the greatest churches I have ever been to name New Hope. New Hope was a lot like Olivet's atmosphere, the people were always friendly and there always something to keep someone busy. I used to dance at church, I did hip-hop and interpretive dance, but you could never tell that from the way I look now.

Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.

I woke up and took one bite out of my pop tart but that one bite was all I could eat. My legs were shaking, and my heart was pounding. My dad told me, “It is a true honor to even make it this far so go out there and have some fun.” Once I heard this statement, I knew I was ready to go. I arrived at school and boarded the bus. The car ride was an hour and fifteen minutes of hearing the squeaking of the wheel on the bus. My teammates were getting their heads ready for the big game.

In 2025, I will be twenty-nine years old and hopefully married. I will be married to my significant other of ten years Earnest Palmer III, who is a dentist. I would have been recently graduating with a bachelor’s in Culinary Arts and trying to plan to open my own restaurant, BubbaD’s Eateries. Knowing my big headed husband of mine, I probably had a baby then and trying to have another baby. Hopefully, by then Earnest will get rid of the idea naming our son, King. We will be living in the suburbs near New York City but working in the city. Being a woman with great memory, I probably wrote a memoir about my crazy life and trying to sell it to a publisher. If none of the publishers wants to publish my memoir, I will probably sell it the Lifetime

Starting over. Those two simple words pretty much sum up where I am at in my life at the moment. I am a 34 year old mother of three. I have never been to college. My husband just recently left me. It has been a whirlwind summer to say the least, but before I get into what brought me back to school, I'll start at the beginning. I was born in FL., and quite literally spent all my time either at the beach or running bare foot on my grandparents farm. I loved every second. Shortly after I turned 8 my mom met my step-dad, and we were quickly headed on our first big adventure, moving to Texas! While I missed my family in FL., I can not tell you enough how happy I was that my mom married my dad. He has been a rock and solid foundation for me my whole

I want to thank all my friends for keeping me on the right track in life. I moved here in sixth grade and the friendships I’ve made here will last a lifetime. We’ve had our up and downs, but everyone has. I want to thank them for all the times that I’ve needed their advice or maybe I just needed to talk to them about something.

I would like to say a few words to you, not sufficient enough to express my great appreciation to you. I appreciate you very much, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you are giving. It is not to be taken for granted, and it is to be admired. I believe that everything we do in life returns to us, so I wish you that all this kindness will return to your lives.

Just so you know, this is the Big Apple and I rule this town. New York City is filled with tall buildings, great culture, and historical sites. No other city has so much beauty that it takes your breath away; yet, there is a real danger that lurks on the streets. I should know because I am Detective Michael Morgan a United States Super Spy in charge of capturing dastardly villains who are set on destroying our world. Armed with mind-altering powers, Alex Higgins is on the top of the FBI’s list of the ten most wanted men in America. This thug is one of the greatest danger to our world and must be captured and jailed in the vault of death. There is no place safe for him to hide from the law and rumor has it, he is in my town. You break the law here in New York City, you pay the ultimate price: freedom.

Something I will be reflecting on from my 8th grade year ,and how this will change myself for freshmen year. I did study a lot through the whole year of 8th grade,and i should have.I feel 8th grade could have gone better for me if i did things differently like preparing myself for hard tests, I never studied till the end of the year when i found out it really helped me out.

As my time here in Yosemite comes to a close, I can't help but feel an incredible amount of gratitude for everything you all did for me. When I first arrived in may, I began my journey in the various positions throughout this hotel working with a variety of people from all across the globe. One thing that these people cherish is the passion for this hotel and the strive for greatness in it. This wouldn't be possible without the strong leadership and encouraging attitude of the people who make this hotel so special. With that being said, I learned from each of you the value of that leadership and the effects it can have in the hotel as a whole. For that, I thank you all so much.

First I would like to give honor to God, without prayer and strength I wouldn’t be who I am today. I would like to thank my mom and family for their support and encouragements. I also want to thank Dr. Ravola, Mrs. Caroline, and

Many people have left legacies from when they were alive. Some are good, and some are bad. Those people may not agree with what they have left behind, and some may be perfectly okay with theirs. For me, I would like to leave behind a legacy that shows my family that I was a good person. I would want them to know that I had good intentions for my life and that I wanted to do good for myself and others. In this essay, I will explain what I would like my legacy to be like.

To my parents Antonio & Shilma Morales and to my siblings, my motivation for this humble work is a sign of my love for you all.

First and foremost I would like to thank God for blessing me to be such a creative being. Next, I would like to thank my parents, Patricia Gore and David Rush. Thank you for always being there for me and guiding me in the right direction with your kind and positive words. To my husband Kimo, thank you for being supportive of my dreams and aspirations. To my daughter Kimora, never forget that anything is possible with a lot of determination and dedication. To my beautiful sisters, Angela Gore-Felton and Porscha Rush; I love you two ladies to the moon and back. Thanks for being my assistants, promoters, photographers, proof readers and overall handy sidekicks. I would also like to give a special thanks to Brandice Gore, Marvin Latimore, Blac
