Personal Narrative: Hailey Lynn Jones

I have had many great mentors that have stood out in my life thus far, but I have one lady that really stands out. Her name is Tina; I know her better as Ms. Hicks. She is a kindergarten teacher and Glee Club director at the middle school I attended. I came to know her really well when I joined the Glee Club my sixth grade year. She is so selfless and always puts others before herself. I just began watching her one day and realized that I wanted to be just like her. I began to volunteer in her classroom the last period of the day because I want to be an elementary school teacher as well. I decided why not learn form the best. Throughout the year, I learned so much from her. She taught me that students can learn and have fun while they

Haylee Feist Ever since I was little, starting in first or second grade, I was classified as something other than average. A “special” teacher came and took me from my classes once a week, along with some other kids, and here

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

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

Patience is wearing thin , the shocking moment is almost here. Then a miracle happens! A beautiful brown eyed baby is born into this world.

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

Hello Professor Turner, 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.

Ella On July the 3rd, a new baby girl was born. She had bright, bold, blue eyes, with little rolls around her arms and legs, that was me! I was held warmly and cuddled in my mums soft arms. At that moment I became Ella Grace Romaniuk! I was born at the

It was a strange experience to be honest, in a way it helped. You see all these movies about what it's like, but in reality it's noting like the movies. You had to get up at seven in the morning, you couldn't take a shower without permission and it had to be supervised?!?! You had to eat!!! If you didn't you would be forced to (that was pure hell) It was scary, and I wanted to go home. The people there were very kind, though. Most of them.. There was a woman called Amanda, she had schizophrenia and she was the kindest soul ever. If I would be sad she'd try to comfort me by making silly faces. Or Herman, he was in his early forties, he had multiple personalities, one of them was a nineteen year old war veteran, he would make up this detailed stories.

Hello fellow classmate 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.

When I was young I had many childhood friends, most of them were other boys, the majority of our activities involved rough playing outside in the grass with a ball or inside someone’s house playing nintendo whenever one of our parents were able to tolerate us long enough before it was time for everyone to go back home. There were a lot of fond memories with the boys but there was one person amongst them who stood out. Well not exactly stood out but more like she was a girl while the rest of us were guys, though she fit in perfectly with us and in fact, it was hard to remember that very particular difference.
