Personal Narrative: Mr. Clark

The space that became a place to me is Kent Washington, I lived I another country prior to living in the U.S. I didn't know much about Kent, Washington beforehand, but I did know that its rainy, cold, and that there are lots of trees. I acquired the little knowledge I had of Kent, because my dad, and my relatives who visited or lived in Kent described Kent's landscape to me.For example my Dad told me that Kent had a very small population when he moved in Kent 15 years ago, and that many of the woods in Kent have developed in to business, and recreational areas. When I did eventually come to Kent in May 2012, I thought it was indeed very cold at least for a girl like me who came from a tropical country. I also thought that there are many cars

Mr. Miller, my seventh grade homeroom teacher, “strongly encouraged” us to bring treats to class every Friday. He led us to believe that sharing cheap, processed foods laced with exorbitant amounts of refined sugar and saturated fats was the way to make friends. It was, however, quite obvious to a bunch of twelve and thirteen year olds that Miller was more concerned with maintaining his lifelong friendship with Little Debbie than he was with helping us get to know one another. A man whose license plate read “Ursa Major,” was more than just a fan of bears—he seemed to be the “Great Bear” himself. Standing about 6’2”, probably weighing in at more than 300 pounds, with a short, yet scruffy brown beard and long pointed snout, this lazy beast

My ninth grade year is the first time I started the audition process for the Texas All-State Choir and only made it through the first round of districts. The summer of 2014 I was determined to make it farther since I just had made the varsity choir at my high school. In July I went to Baylor University for a week and learned all the music we were auditioning and also furthered my skills and techniques. Once school started I went to after school practices every day with my choir directors for an hour, then went home and practiced by myself for another hour, and went to voice lessons with my singing coach once a week. I knew by doing so, I would be prepared.

Everyone has that special someone in their life, someone that they trust and is always there for them. For me there is one person in particular that has had a profound impact on me; my high school soccer coach, Mr. Barrington. He is a great friend and mentor who was an influential part of my high school years and continues to be today. We share many memories both on and off the soccer field. These remembrances, whether good or bad have been worth it because no matter what the outcome Mr. Barrington always sees the bright side and makes every moment memorable. As you can see, my coach and friend, Mr. Barrington is an important and special person in my life for many reasons.

There are so many people that are special in my life but some one that stands out like the one bright star in the midnight sky is my cousin, Caeley. There are many people I would write about but since Caeley and I are the same age and create this special bond that brings us so close together.

Hello! My name is Philip King but I prefer to go by Alex which is my middle name. For as long as I can remember, people have described me as a "comfortable" person and "easy to talk to," especially when it came to their personal problems that they were dealing with privately or in their home life. Since junior high, I have been considered a counselor among my friends. So when I used the _careercruiser _ website in my sophomore year English class, the field of Art Therapy caught my attention.

If someone says “transformer” I light up with excitement and joy. When I hear this word, I think of Autobots, Decepticons, awesome franchise, badass cars and other machinery, and more. My friend Caleb would probably think, “crappy movie, crappy director, crappy actors, and crappy franchise”. Others might think of electricity. Whenever I bring this franchise up with Caleb One co, it starts basically are only disagreement. He believes that they are all terrible while I am trying to defend each of the four movies and soon to be five. I always ask him, “how would make a movie about giant cars, trucks, military vehicles, and anything that runs on electricity any better?” I never get an actual answer because he says that he would not make these movies. I find it funny how we enjoy superheroes, Star Wars, him more than me however, and similar political beliefs, but we can’t get along with this franchise. Michael Bay and Paramount Pictures are making a new Transformers called Transformers: The Last Knight, and I told him in October/November that the new trailer was released, but all he could say was “I don’t care.” I

Dr.Cobb a bold, diligent, and incredible women. A women of intelligence and wisdom. In the 6th grade of attending Jolliff I had the opportunity to to be taught by Dr.Cobb. I remember all of the positive energy when I walk through the door. All the way to the warmest smile that could light up a room. I love the way that she was easy to approach and talk to. She wanted us show and creativity and push boundaries. When Dr.Cobb get tough she doesn't play. It was not because she was mean she had a passion for teaching. It was to prepare us for next grade. Never mind not just the next grade life also. Dr.Cobb set a high standard for all her students know that we could reach and overcome. I now noticed the homework and class work I would complain about

The memory of Mr.S is outstanding. He can remember long lists and important information all in his brain using mnemonic strategies. Imagine how this incredible power affected his life. In other cases it could be helpful on test or other circumstances that are important in childhood and adulthood. Although this would be a lot to store in your mind Mr.S didnt realize it. In my opinion this incredible memory would affect my life and I believe it affects his too.

I was walking through the living room and the sound came for the first time, the sound that appeared two weeks later and it may, just may have changed our lives forever. My house is Sheridan is the same as any if the others, boring and simple. Walking through the living room with my early morning caramel coffee, since I am not an early morning person whatsoever, was splashing around. I felt the earth vibrate underneath of me, the pictures fell from the walls and my great grandma's lamp shattered and fell to the ground. My dog Rosie ended up running circles around the living room and barking like a she had just seen a rattlesnake in the grass, which scared me so I stood up on the couch about screamed bloody murder, and noticed that the rug

Narrator - Allison and her parents made the decision that she would be attending Rogers New Tech; however, none of them were prepared for the changes that Allison would begin experiencing.

The first day of the new semester had Mike Stevenson in quite a good mood. It was a welcome change for the older tenured professor; who, at 52, would have been the envy of many other men his age. He had a great job, a full head of hair, and was liked by his colleagues and students. However, due to his messy separation and impending divorce to another professor at the school, his state of mind could have been described as 'irritable' at best. Though even with the messy personal situation going on, he didn't fail to be at his desk before the sun even rose, preparing his lecture notes for one of his favorite classes. His traditional three cups of coffee had been brewed, and his charcoal grey sport coat, donned over a snug fitting navy shirt and

I became a new person, someone who I am proud to tell others is me. I've become a more outgoing person, more optimistic than pessimistic, and I’ve tried to more sociable than

At the end of junior year in high school my choir had auditions for the top choir in the school, I didn’t make it; therefore, I was compelled to repeat a choir for juniors that I had already been in as a senior. This doesn’t sound like a big deal, but choir was one of the few things I really liked in high school. I had my whole senior year all planned out and this curve ball that was thrown to me put me into

It was a chilly Thursday morning in April 2014. I woke up an hour earlier than normal to take my then husband to work. I wasn’t too thrilled about it, but his car had broken down and he had no other means to get to work. It was supposed to be just any other day: work, come home, shower, take care of our nine month old son, eat, sleep, and repeat. That Thursday morning was anything but ordinary. That morning changed me as a person. I refuse to go back to the old me.
