Personal Narrative: Hailey Lynn Jones

My name is Kaitlyn Hoopingarner, and I am a senior at West High School. Sioux City, Iowa has been my home for my whole life. At West High, I am involved in multiple activities: varsity wrestling cheer, robotics, and theatre. In addition to my school activities, I also paint, crochet, and play video games. I plan to attend Iowa State University to major in Computer Science. My birthday is July 25th, and Christmas is December 25th; so, my birthday is "Christmas in

It wasn’t like any other swim practice, no, not like any other I’d ever gone to. No one usually moved to Minot, North Dakota that was also in swimming, so when Emily Pitcher and her family moved to town and came to practice, it was quite a shock for everyone on the team. She moved from Colorado and she had 2 younger brothers and a younger sister as well. They seemed nice enough but there was something about Emily, who was my age, which seemed a bit off.

Stakeholder 2: Hello, I am Michelle Carter, I am a black female, 36 years of age. I was a single mother raising a child in the lower side of Chicago. I had a son, his name was Zack Carter and he was murdered last night by a pig. A white man who was just trigger happy and felt justified by what he had done because he was a police officer. Just a racist man who shot my son because he thought my son was like any other black person probably selling drugs or something. I did make a domestic violence call because we had gotten into a very heated argument and he slapped me and stormed out, but that was my fault, because I had hit him first. We had been arguing about his grades and how they were starting to slip even though he had been a 4.0 student

When I was six I wanted to be Hannah Montanna. When I was 12 I still dreamed of becoming a pop-star, but figured I could have a second job too – just in case. I’m seventeen now and I’ve have read Maya Angalou and Ralph Waldo Emerson; I’ve studied American history, marvled at astounding scientific discoveries, and cheered for political revolutions. I've traveled to different states and analyzed geological features for the aesthetic beauty and for the geological history. I've done many things, the logical step here would be then for me to pick; speak or forever hold my peace, but in all honesty, I don't know what I want to be. My six-year old self would say it's because I've seen too much, I think it's because I haven't seen enough. I want to

My name is Jakeria Harris back at home, I was very antisocial. I grew up in a small town by the name of Ocilla, Ga. I was raised by my grandmother Doretha, most of my life because of my mother, Vanessa, had to work full time to provide for me. In school, I would always stay to myself because people would always push me around and say harsh things to me. I started feeling insecure about the way I looked, so I started hanging with the wrong crowd and started making terrible

One of my nicest friends when I moved from Azores, Portugal to Minot, North Dakota in 2005 was Nicole Hamm. Nicole and I met at the CDC in Minot Air Force Base, in September of 2005. Ever since we met each other we have became unseperatable, until she moved to Florida in the summer of 2015 but we still talk. When we first met she was kind, and caring. There was never a day where she didn't make me laugh so hard that I was crying. When I first met her, we played 20 questions. My first question was what is your favorite color? Yet, her answer was neon purple ( not purple it had to be neon purple). As we kept playing I found that she likes to play Legos, and Minecraft with her younger brother and that she loves to watch Monster High and My

Hi could I please have an iced skinny cinnamon dolce latte with coconut milk please? My name is Courtney Travaglini, currently I'm in my cold home state of Maine. However you are about to learn is not my "home" anymore. My husband and I are stationed in North Carolina and have been there for the past two years. Thanks to Starbucks transfer program and love of the military I was able to transfer back to Maine during my husbands deployment.

My parents sent me off to Los Angeles when I was in 4th grade to pursue an acting career. I went from audtion to audtion, doing short/student films, plays, and pagents just to get my name out there. I landed a comercial for Time Warner Cable(Southern California Company) as a nerd in a science academy. This lifestyle took dedication and because my mom owned businesses in Salinas, my dad lived with me. We would still travel 6/7 hours every other weekend back and forth from Salinas to Los Angeles.

I'm am in your course but I have had some internet trouble this last week. My internet just got back online last night. I will be signing up for everything tonight and hopefully have some of it completed. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

I have 6 siblings: 5 are older than me and 1 is younger. My oldest sister Aliza is 33 years old. She has 5 children. My brother Shimon has 2 children and one on the way. The rest of my siblings are not married. Tova is 28 years old, Beni is 25 years old, and Karen is 20 years old and serving in the army. Eli is 16, and goes to a boarding school and returns home on the weekend.

My full name is Lauren Elisabeth Stuteville and I attend Antioch High School in the 9th grade. I am 14 years old and my birthday is April 23, 2001, which means my zodiac sign, is a Taurus. I have one older sister that is three years older than me, whose name is Brooke, and is a senior in high school. She is 17 years of age, and will turn 18 on April 18th, and we hang out all the time, therefore, she is a big inspiration to me. My parents became divorced when I was in the seventh grade. Also, I have one dog, whose name is Sam, and is a black Labrador mixed with a Rottweiler. I have had her since she was a puppy at three months, and she is now five years old, and will be six on September 18th. One of my favorite things to do is cheerleading.

I have a bestfriend named Kaitlyn. But she is more than a friend, we are sisters. She has been my friend for 6 years. We met in elementary school and shared a class from kindergarten to 4th grade. Throughout the years we had arguments, but we always made up after.

I interviewed Apryl Patterson from Payless Shoe Stores. She is the Manager of the 11th Street location in Beaumont, Texas. She has been with the company for four years and Manager for 3 years. She supervises five associates at this location. Each associate performance is evaluated every month. The ranking is from one to five within the store and one to 60 in the district. The evaluations are on how well each associate’s conversion, sales, dollars per transaction, and units per transaction are for the month. If an associate is in the bottom two for two consecutive months they will be terminated. There is also an evaluation of the associate after they have been with the company for 12 months. This decides if they receive a pay raise or not.

My name is Bethany Ake; I live Kansas (like many of you). I am 16 years old. I started college early because my mom is a crazy homeschool parent. I have a big family, my dad and mom, 5 sisters, 3 brothers, 2 cats, and a fish. I go to church and teach in the six-year-old Sunday school class. I am taking Art because it is required to get associates.

It’s May 29, 2016 it’s sunny outside but there’s a storm on the way. The hospital room was cramped with the two incubators in there. I’m at the hospital visiting my sister and my nieces Lillian and Meredith. I am holding Lillian for the first time and I have to be extremely careful with her head because she just had an iv taken out of her head earlier that day. She’s only about 3 ounces and she’s about a foot long. She’s sleeping peacefully while I hum a lullaby to her. Both my nieces are strong because they have fought off little cold like bronchitis, but another person who is strong is my sister Ashley who herself is 5’2 with brown hair with blonde highlights throughout her hair. She may look tiny in size but physically and mentally
