Personal Narrative: Keeping A Time Log

I went out for the track team when I was in seventh grade. I enjoyed track because I enjoy running, jumping, and spending time with my friends. The track season was amazing because I learned to do the high jump. I had to learn how to time my steps and jump backwards. Did you know that long ago they would jump forward over the bar. Then a man named Dick Fosbury tried a different way, go over backwards, now this is called the “Fosbury flop” Which I think sounds like an ice cream cone of some sort but. I also had to learn the lingo. “Up” means it’s your turn to jump. “On deck” means you are next in line. “In the hole” means you are third to jump. It is important to stay in order, once at the Metamora track meet I thought they had called my name, I jumped and made it over the bar. but It was not actually my turn so I had to jump again, I wanted to give him a Well-that-was-your-fault-not-mine kind of look. Luckily, I made it over the second time also. Another meet I remember was when I jumped 4 feet 11in. I had no idea I was going to jump that high that day because it was cold and rainy. I was very surprised and I ended up winning that event that day. Since Micah was hurt and he normally beats me, I got first so I was happy. I participated in sectionals. I had to jump 5ft

I'VE BEEN SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS TO COME OUT!!! For those who don't know this is one of my anticipated of the year (you can check out my list if you haven't already, I posted it in September). But since this is the last book of the series I don't feel the need to write a very long non-spoiler review. I won't write the reasons why I love this series so much in my Top Ten list if you would like to check that. The series starts out in this futuristic world where a young girl named Cinder catches the eye of Prince Kai, the future empire of the Common Wealth. The only problem is that she's a cyborg, part-human part-robot. For this book, I would give it about a 4/5 stars. I was definitely a great read but it wasn't my favorite book in the series, I honestly felt that Cress was the best book, then

Swayze responded, ready to leave this unfamiliar place and followed on Casey’s heels as she walked out the door. They both scurried around the dreaded spot on the landing. Swayze gave one final growl before descending to the first floor.

I was thinking if I should go straight or turn right onto the track when I was leaving school one miserable day. I had made my decision to go right because I would get less wet. So I walked home on the long deserted track when I saw Barry Bagsley and his little puppets Doug and Danny playing catch with a little Moorefield primary boy. I kept walking down the track thinking that I could just avoid them by running fast through them. As I got closer I realised that they were grabbing the contents of within his bag and throwing it everywhere. I felt like I had to help out the little guy but at the same time it felt so wrong to go down and come into contact with my foe.

If I ever had a single kryptonite to bring me down on my knees, it would be not knowing. Ironically, but befitting the way of the universe and life, I am completely and utterly lost. Most of the time, if not all of the time, I have no idea what I’m doing. I am either stuck in the same place, bolted to the ground, or circling the same spaces, making the same mistakes over and over again. Just thinking about this makes me feel so frustrated I could actually cry. “I’ve been here before. What am I doing?! What’s wrong with me?! I don’t know what to do,” is the ever-present monologue in my head. I couldn’t change it if I tried.

  Leaving for basic training was the most nerve racking thing I have ever been through. I already knew about the physical and emotional difficulties I would encounter going off to boot camp, but there was one thing that no one really informed me about that worried me, the food. Everyone I spoke to had their own stories about what I would or would not be eating, but no two stories seemed to add up. Needless to say, walking into that dining hall I expected to see, or at least smell, manure on a plate. However, to my pleasant surprise, all of the different but amazing aromas in there gave me joy. When I actually saw what was on the menu, my day got that much better. In basic training those were

From looking at my calendar, I can improve my time management if I try to finish as many assignments as possible early in the day. I need to provide more time in my schedule for starting assignments. I realized when I start my day early, I tend to have more time to work on my tasks, and I get to finish my work earlier. This will give me a greater opportunity, to work on the next day assignments and to be ahead of my schedule. In addition, I can improve my time management by being more specific in my schedule. I must consistently stick to the schedule that I provided ahead of time, and restrict my work to a certain amount of time, so I can have time to do other assignments. From my past experiences, taking a break can reset my mind, and help

“Did I turn off the computer? Of course I did. Seriously, did I?” My face was sweating, but I just wanted to look away from that locked door but it was midnight and she was still awake. Reanalyzing my own thoughts, I was pretty sure that I turned off the computer at precisely ten o’clock after counting to my lucky number seven before leaving.

I used to do a lot of tasks at the same time. I worked for long hours under pressure and I felt confused at times regarding unclear tasks. But this course helped me to save my time through changing bad habits into good ones. I learned to divide a big job into smaller ones and define and limit the time for each task. Also, I got a great benefit from using different ways to avoid distraction and setting a deadline for each task. Over time everything become under control.

This is my junior year and on a linear scale of time I’m 16 years old, mentally I don’t know how to measure my age but I think I’d start from the night I was enlightened and time stopped flowing evenly. I’ve made a lot of mistakes mostly expecting people to do the right thing and not doing the right thing for myself. I remember feeling out of control and being told I have no choice or say because I was 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 but now I see that I am in control, just not of other people’s actions. I can say confidently now that it’s not my fault and so what if they “beat me to the punch.” because there punch wasn’t the right thing. I stand up for myself now to my mom, to my dad, to my siblings and my life will be better for it. I wasn’t happy

I have been tending to plan my social schedule to fit around my homework schedule ever since the sixth grade. In sixth grade I put my social schedule before my homework schedule, twice. I have learned not to, but when I do put my social schedule before my homework schedule it now requires lots of focus and coffee.

Although he doesn't know it yet, on January 14th, at 73 years of age, Andrew will rest eternally at his late wife's side. On March 4th, at 29 years, he and his wife will have their first child. On October 18th, when he is 26, they will be married in a small, quaint ceremony among family, and in just a few minutes, at the age of 24, he will meet his wife-to-be at this coffee shop after accidentally spilling coffee on her. I know these things because I am here to make sure he trips.

My history being a student was an ok process. I’ve been to multiple schools over the years, and overall i’ve made good grades in my classes that i had. I’ve hadn't had problem with math or history for the most part i had problems in science or when it came to english because with science and english i can't quite get the concept of what the teachers are talking about or explaining to the class. It's like i would zone out or starting getting lost or confused about what we’re suppose to be doing in the assignment. I just feel i’m more a visual learner than just listening to what to do. I remember being in my 8th grade class and when we wrote essays or assignments my teacher would tell us how to write the essay more than giving an example of what

Hi, I'm a time traveler. I'm going to tell you about the craziest paradox I've ever been in. It all started on a sunday afternoon. I stepped into my time machine and set the date back to 3 hours ago, around the time I saw this hot lady in the store. I pressed the zoom button and I was blasted into the past. I've been traveling to this moment over and over again for the past 4 days, trying to gain the courage to talk to this girl. I popped out right next to her, in the exact same spot I was in 3 hours ago, hand on my cart, looking for some campbell’s soup. ¨Hi.¨ She didn't respond. I said it too quietly, let me try again. ¨Hi!¨ I yelled right at her face. She briskly walked away, glancing behind her to make sure I wasn't following. She had a look of pure terror on her face.

For the Personal Timeline assignment I divided my timeline into four periods. The first period is the “Early Years” this is betwen when I was born up until I moved to Herricks. The next period is the “New Age” this started when I moved to Herricks to the beginning of middle school. I call this the “New Age” because, everything during this period was new to me, this includes the school and environment. Before I moved, I lived in the city so the environment was completely new to me. The next period is the “Middle school years”, the reason being is that this is the age of middle school and everything was new to me again. Lastly there is the “High school years”, the reason being is that this is when I am in highschool,this the period in life I
