Personal Narrative: Jill Price

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.

Lauren Rezac- My weekend did not really start off to exciting. Right after my Fast-Pitch game I was picked up by my dad in our 1962 jeep. When we got home we had supper and we all stayed up for a little bit and went to bed. On Saturday I had the house to myself, my dad was helping our neighbors while my mom and sister were in ST.Cloud.So When I was at home I was pretty bored so I did what most bored kids I know would do turn up the music and make a little mess, basically I made slime. When mom and Alexis came back my sister got a call from my dad to go help out so I went with her.I helped by steering the tractor when she got bored and she did the speed and stuff like that. On Sunday we gave mom her gifts then we got ready to trapshooting me

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

Who is Katelyn Ballard? Katelyn is a student, a sister, and most definitely, a pet lover. I am a senior at Franklin County and have lived here since May 30, 1998, which is my birthday. Even though I have lived here seventeen years, I have moved houses six times. I currently live on Tims Ford Lake with my Mom and step dad. I have one older brother, Cody, and two step siblings, Cade and Carly. I have two dogs, Dixie and my favorite, Marley. I enjoy high school, but just like every other senior; I am ready to be done. I plan on entering Motlow’s nursing program then furthering my education at MTSU to become a nurse practitioner. Taking care of people has always been an instinct of mine, so a job in the medical field is ideal for me. I enjoy writing

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.

I chose this picture of my sisters because it is my favorite one. I am on the far left, my little sister, Karrie, is in the middle, and my older sister, Kassie, is on the far right. This picture just seems like another picture of sisters but we are so much more, we are best friends. We are all so different but all so alike. We all go by shortened names, Kassie is Kasandra, Katie is short for Katelyn, and Karrie is short for Karrington. We have age gaps of six years in between Kassie and I, and four years in between Karrie and I. Not to mention how different we all look. I got the naturally curly hair from my dad, Karrie has the dark brown hair from my mom, and Kassie got the blond hair from her dad. Yes, Kassie has a different dad but we have never made a big deal about it

Throughout our lives, we all make sacrifices in order to achieve our goals or to help others achieve their goals. For some, this may mean sacrificing friendships or family time, or for others it may mean sacrificing money and other dreams which may also be of great importance to us. A person who has made many sacrifices in order to achieve their aspirations or goals is someone with strength, determination and masses of will-power, and it is someone who is not prepared to give up on their dream.

My informational interview with Karissa Page was held on the 27th of September. During our conversation, the majority related to her transition from a college setting to the working world as well as her experience going into a field different from ones major in college. I sought her as my real reader because of her experience doing as such. These topics were appropriate for our conversation because Ms. Page’s field of interest is in Public Health, while I am interested in conservation biology as well as her majoring in Biology and Psychology in Undergrad, while I am going to be completing a degree in Molecular Genetics & Psychology. During our conversations I expressed my desire to learn from her post-undergrad experience.

We line up for lunch. Mrs. Price thinks thinks everything’s okay after I gave the sweater to Phyllis Lopez, which made me upset, so I yelled at Phyllis, “You ruined my birthday!” Phyllis ignored me, which made me furious, so I step on her foot. Then she did it back to me, and Mrs. Price sees that and we both get in trouble. Mrs. Price give us a warning, but I decided to calm down instead of breaking down again.

I interviewed Julie French, one of my teachers from high school. Julie has been married to the love of her life for thirty-three years, and eight years later they had their daughter. She is fifty-six years old, and has been teaching for twenty-two years. Julie is a science teacher at Lone Grove. Julie’s dedication to the student’s learning, why she chose science, and the relationship between her and her students is why I chose her instead of a different teacher.

The last week has been pretty rough and crazy. I made one wrong move after another thinking that there were no consequences to my actions; I was wrong. On the fourth of July, I was only trying to help you out, but I see now that all I did was try to control the situation and not be in my place. I thought what I was doing was best, but I learned the hard way that you are a strong and independent girl, and you are capable of anything you set your mind to.

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.

I first met Sara Christine Lewis in Provo, UT after Hegon whom I have been a close friend since college got married to Sara and we have been close friends since then. My husband Jacob and I invited them over for dinner a few times so that Sara could get used to the Korean food and its culture. She was having a hard time getting used to certain spices on the dishes that I cooked at the dinner but tried and liked it later. It took my husband two years to acquire its traditional taste of Korean food while he was in Korea as a full-time missionary. My husband and I decided to throw a party at our place during the Thanksgiving holidays in November 2014 and invited other internationally married couple friends whom we stayed in close contact with

Imagine yourself being on the lake soaking up the rays of the sun and the crashes of the water on a waterski. This is what shapes up the life of Rachel Cooper. I have personally not known Rachel until I walked into Mrs. Zoller’s sixth period English class and she was assigned to sit next to me. As I interviewed Rachel, I learned the many aspects of her life including her family, school life, and her hobbies and personality that make her the person that she is today.

I stared at my computer screen with great scrutiny as my right hand clutched the slim white mouse resting beneath it. My index finger clicked repetitively at the webpage’s refresh button. My eyes were fixed on a set of numbers stretched across the screen that kept jumping with every tap of the mouse. Click. 99,992. Click. 99,993. Click. 99,998. My heart was racing. Click. 99,999. I tapped the refresh button one last time and held my breath. The number 100,000 popped up on my computer screen, and the moment that I had worked so hard for had finally arrived. In just a year and a half, I had managed to accumulate 100,000 subscribers for my YouTube channel, titled “Nicole Renée,” along with over six million total video views. Posting videos on YouTube started out as just a hobby, but as time went on and I gained more experience with video production, it has allowed
