Personal Narrative-Hi Podcasts

Most people are all grown up when they finally figure out what they want to do with their life. I was 4. I realized what I wanted to be when I attended my very first Rodeo. Even though it was so long ago I can remember that day like it was yesturday. That day got me on the path to my future.

It was a cool November day, in the middle of Afghanistan. As a medic, I was sitting outside my make shift aid station with one of my buddies sharing stories about home. We hear a loud explosion right outside of the wire. I looked up and could see the cloud of smoke billowing up from about two hundred meters away. Not knowing how bad the situation was, I grabbed a few of my soldiers, our translator and my aid bag and ran straight to the smoke. When we got there, a group of civilians were huddled around a group of people who were yelling, screaming and crying. The translator found out that a group of three men and three children were walking around a field when one of the children stepped on a mine. One of my soldiers grabbed the mine

“Petlon get in there,”Coach said. At first I was like what does he mean. I was confused because at the time Eli was a better center. I figured I should hustle out there and give it my best try, so that’s what I did.

At the start of the semester I had become more aware and grounded in my voice. In my everyday life, I would notice if I was holding my breath. The reason for this was because over the summer I had to stand-up to one of my shut-up judges, my dad. The incident was extremely emotional, and I coped with it through the use of my actor training; instead of checking out and holding tension, I chose to breathe deeply and stay grounded. This allowed me to speak up even when I was told to shut-up. This awareness of breath was developed through necessity rather than choice. I had to be strong. My strength didn’t only come from being grounded in my breath, but it also came using breathe to stay present in the room. The use of breath also allowed me to go into my body and release the build-up of emotions. As a result of these experiences, my voice was able to drop more consistently to my lower resonator rather than my typical chest voice.

Week one has passed by quickly! I think this week was very successful and I can say that I have learned many new things. This week has been an experience for me learning things about the business world. I am not a business major so I was not expecting to take these classes. I was assigned them, but have found them very beneficial. As I read through the first couple of chapters I read things I had heard before. This was a good thing that I could put the information with the terms I had heard previously.

You know that moment when you’re trying to reach the toilet paper but can't quite, then fall and kill yourself on a pumpkin? Yeah I know that feeling… it’s not good. It all started one very normalish day at 1065 Fitzgerald Ave.

The podcast Serial, based on the real murder of Hae Min Lee in 1999 was very interesting to listen to. From the first episode I was captivated by the storyline told by Sarah Koenig . At first, I think the most intimidating fact about this assignment was that in the directions it states that the series is about 7 hours long. Once I actually began to hear Sarah and her views on Adnan, I forget how long it was and it became a lot easier to follow along. Some challenges that I faced were during the middle episodes (5-7) where I started to lose focus on what she was saying because all I was interested in was what Adnan had to say. I felt that at one point once she started bringing excess people in the story that didn’t need to be included is when

It was a sunny bright Friday afternoon and I was at school. I knew today was going to be the day, the day I get my new bike. After school my dad picked me up and drove home, so I can change out of my uniform and grab something to eat. I remembered my stomach feeling strange, I was so excited getting my new bike that I couldn't even eat. We went back in the car to go to Kmart. Even though Kmart was only like five minutes, it felt like I was in the car forever. I remember I was thinking of all the features my new bike was going to have.

When my mother asked me to read a book a few months ago, I was hesitant to agree. A stressful school year was approaching, and seeing my friends on a Saturday night seemed much more appealing. When I was younger, curling up with a good book was a typical pastime. Then came high school, and reading was replaced with countless hours of studying, cheer practice, and trying to figure out when I could catch up on some much needed rest.

You seemed as if you left out of your 4th block Spanish from those rusty gray doors on the side of our school building.

As the blood was dripping from Katherine neck I felt an oozing pain in my body. Looked over at Jacob, he smiled. My first drink of the year and I already felt guilt for what I had done. I didn’t like the new me, I didn’t like the way it made me feel. All my emotions were spinning in my head and my body I just can`t handle the pain.

It's been a very busy summer so far. At the end of July, we returned from 23 days in Germany and Scotland.

I walk into the mall, and barely contain my excitement as I march directly over to my favorite store. Hot Topic. I look around and see absolute heaven. My favorite song begins to play on the radio; there is dyed hair and band tees every which way. Where do I begin? Hi, I’m Chloe Pelshaw, a student in the 8th grade at Silver Hills Middle School. Over the years more people have discovered this astounding store. Although, with these new customers comes two new problems. Space and organization. Ways you could improve these issues are expanding your stores and making the products more organized.

On Tuesday when I was coming to school I was around the San Ellijo Hills I was alone in my car and listening to the radio. I was randomly browsing the channels when I heard in one of the channels they were giving out 5Sos concert tickets. It got my attention since my 12 year old is a new fan of this band even though I’ve no clue about the band she called the channel and left my phone number. There was couple who host the radio and they were sounding pretty young. Since it was the rush hour all the students were out to go to school. The radio hosts were calling randomly phone numbers which they have and they were asking a question about the band, if the person who have been called know the question, he gets the ticket. For a minute I thought

Think of your favorite thing in the world to do. Something that defines you. Something that you can only experience from your eyes. For me it is soccer, and through that came a rite of passage that will be with me forever.
