Personal Narrative: Lock-In

The students drew near as I reluctantly scurried towards the young mens bathroom where I could finally be alone. At the time, I lived in the snowy areas of northern New York, and while attending the infamous middle school, all of my worries in the world were heightened by 200%. From the first day of school, I wanted to fit in. While not even knowing what “fitting in” was, I was determined to do it. I desired to be liked by everyone around me with no worries in the world. I didn’t know that ironically, you couldn’t have both. As I tried to fit in, I noticed that others would flee from me in the halls as if I had an odor of a thousand pounds of garbage. I was confused why others would shy away from me in projects and hallways until the hints

Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.

I woke up and took one bite out of my pop tart but that one bite was all I could eat. My legs were shaking, and my heart was pounding. My dad told me, “It is a true honor to even make it this far so go out there and have some fun.” Once I heard this statement, I knew I was ready to go. I arrived at school and boarded the bus. The car ride was an hour and fifteen minutes of hearing the squeaking of the wheel on the bus. My teammates were getting their heads ready for the big game.

Of course the norm for me is that of any citizen living in zone three.

Five months later David get a call from the hospital to tell him his results an he came back positive he drop the phone an cried he was in rage he put a hole in the wall at his house broke his television. He pray to god an ask him questions why me I haven't done nothing wrong but be good to her an make her life easy in this world. Then the test result for his child it was positive that it was his baby he was happy about that couldn't wait to see his health child of his Kelly calls him an ask forgiveness he tells her right now I can't talk to you disgust me at this time. But he told her the results for their child was his he ask why you put me through all of this only thing I wanted to do is to love you be

Just so you know, this is the Big Apple and I rule this town. New York City is filled with tall buildings, great culture, and historical sites. No other city has so much beauty that it takes your breath away; yet, there is a real danger that lurks on the streets. I should know because I am Detective Michael Morgan a United States Super Spy in charge of capturing dastardly villains who are set on destroying our world. Armed with mind-altering powers, Alex Higgins is on the top of the FBI’s list of the ten most wanted men in America. This thug is one of the greatest danger to our world and must be captured and jailed in the vault of death. There is no place safe for him to hide from the law and rumor has it, he is in my town. You break the law here in New York City, you pay the ultimate price: freedom.

I quickly swallowed my homemade authentic Indian food leftovers and gulped down my chocolate milk. Looking down at my watch that read 11:28am, I knew that I only had two minutes until my most favorite part of the day: recess. This particular day in 5th grade, I had run a lap around the playground before getting the rest of recess to myself. As I started walking for my warmup, another student ran up and said, “My parents said that your people caused 9/11.” Completely caught off guard, I held back the tears in my eyes and tried to shake off his comment. I had never encountered something like this.

I enjoyed that job so much, because every day was exciting and different. It was so neat to me to meet people for short periods of time. They would come into my line and I would give them the best, fast, and efficient service as possible.

Who knew that things could change so abruptly, it almost felt that my whole world was flipped within a blink of an eye. Things were going to be different from now on, the people, the weather, even the fresh summer breeze from the coast will soon become a cold bitter winter breeze. This all came to my mind when my mom announced to my family that we’re moving, to New Jersey, once my school goes on summer break. At first, I began to panic, why do we have to move? Why can’t we just live here? We don’t even know anyone there, except for my aunt. We just moved here three years ago from New Jersey, and we didn’t like it, that’s why we only lived there for a month. Then why would we would we like it now? I question my mom, and I demanded explanations

I approached her and started a conversation, she told me her name was Valentina and she was 15, immediately I noticed her bubbly personal, she was smiling big, I sat down and we started talking, she told me that she was from Kentucky, and that she moved here with her family, she told me her mom was looking for a job and her father died when she was younger. We talked about celebrities we love, our favorite songs at the moment, and everything in between. I didn’t want the conversation to end, so I took a risk and asked for her email, she gave it to me and told me she didn’t use it much but she would email me back whenever she had the chance. After that day I emailed her and just watched for a response. I didn’t expect anything, but little did I know the girl at the food drive would become my best

Back in high school there was many groups, We had the jocks,emos,the drug addicts, and last but not least the car enthusiast. When I started high school most of my old friends in grammar school were in the car enthusiast group and I wanted to join them because I didn't know anybody else so I started talking to them again. So one day all of them were in a parking lot and I decided to say hello and hang out with them for a bit when I got there this other kid called juan walked up to me and said “what do you know about cars” and I said “a lot” but in reality i didn't know anything so I just laying of all of the car related stuff i did and they believed it so two months later i bought my first car and started to hang around

First impressions always matter when attending a new school. New schools are also a new start; as a result, it is always hard to try to see if you naturally fit in. Trying to fit in may be difficult may be hard for some kid, but fitting in never truly matters as long as you have the right friends. If you just stay unique instead of being worried about fitting in then you will fit in your own way.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t show up, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he did.”

Every day when I wake up, I always think about how I could make my life better. My family pays for many different products and services and sometimes we are upset as we are paying for services and products that we do not get the full benefit. For several Amazon products I have ordered from third-party sellers, the product does not arrive in the condition described and I become agitated. Once I become frustrated, I endure lengthy chat sessions with Amazon representatives and file claims to get compensated. Furthermore, my family and I utilize the Sprint network on all of our iPhones, but the networks sometimes can be insufficient. For a few years, I have engaged in extensive long phone calls with Sprint, and Sprint has awarded

“Bang!” There goes the clamor noise of the gun that scares me every time. As I’m sprinting I feel the gush of wind brushing against my face, almost like a miniature fan. I am never going to stop or give up just because I am in second place mid race. I am going to keep being unwavering.
