Personal Narrative: My Family Of Northwestern Germany

The last big thing that comes along with my German heritage is our character traits. My mother, brother, sister, and I all have blonde hair and blue eyes. However my father doesn’t have these character traits because my German heritage came from my mother’s side of the family. Germans are almost always on time. It is a common character trait that I have inherited. Germans are also normally a little bit taller. Although I am not too tall my mother is fairly tall and my sister is supposed to be quite tall when she gets

I am Eva Rapaport . I was the only child . I was born to non-religious Jewish parents . I was born on October 27th , 1929 . My father was a journalist and my mom loved taking trips . I have a cousin that is two years older than me that I loved spending time with . FOUR MONTHS LATER , my dad was harassed by the Gestapo or the secret state police , that turned out bad . I was always getting called bad names by my best-friends because I was Jewish and I was different from them . My friends never wanted to be by me and they never wanted to talk to me unless they was criticizing me . They told people they couldn’t be around me .My parents soon said we had to escape , so , we eventually evacuated by trains . During my third grade year , there were

As a child, I grew up outside of Berlin, Germany. I lived on a small farm with my father, mother, two older brothers, and younger sister. My family was very close, and we spent most of our time together. We were happy, lived a simple life, and kept to ourselves. Nevertheless, when I was thirteen,

My family has lived here in Oregon since the before the war between the states, and family tells us stories of the good times before all these japs started taking over. Around the turn of the century or so it started to seem like these people were everywhere. It all started with the building of the railroad. The companies brought in those people to build the railroad, and now that the railroad is completed they will not leave. To make matters even worse there is an effort by their leaders to get them to strike for the same pay as us white people that work for the railroad. There has been extremely little or no effort on their part to become like us Americans. I was walking through town the other day and what did I see, there was a huge Buddha statue in front of a new Buddhist temple. They can't even go to church like regular people.

I grew up in Pelzer. All of my family went to church. Church feet good. The people were great. I remember thinking, "whatever these people have, I want". Jesus use the church to draw me to himself. I met Jesus at 8. Jesus saved me so young because he wanted me to lead my family to him.

History is defined as the study of the science of humanity in the past. It's a broad subject that spans over countless people groups throughout the years that the world has been around. Even before the times we have written word history was still being made, and it is still extremely important. We tend to forget that in our average day to day lives we are still making history. That all over the globe everyone is taking part in what might be in a history book someday.

When it was 1944 I was 15 years old. When I was 15 years old, the Nazi soldiers rounded up all the jews including me and my family and then took us to a ghetto. Some of my friends were taken too. When we arrived, I noticed the ghetto had very tall walls that had broken glass on the top. After everyone was inside, the gates were closed which meant we couldn’t go out. Then we were taken to a little room that already had a family in it. It looked like they barely came too. The first few days they would give us a little bit of food and the conditions were not as bad. A few days later

What has to do with cold cheeks, warm blankets ,and a pot of hot chocolate? One thing I love to do is go to wisconsin with my family. Every year my mom, my dad, and I go to wisconsin the week before christmas. That weekend we have a family Christmas on my dad’s side of the family. It usually is a 3 hr drive for us to get there because we are the farthest away from wisconsin.(complex sentence) My dad’s side of the family all lives in chicago, so it only takes them an hour and maybe a half.(compound sentence)

What is culture? According to Dr. Dennis O’Neil from the Behavioral Sciences Department at Palomar College in San Marcos, CA, “ culture is the full range of learned human behavior” and includes morals, traditions, and beliefs (1). First morals could be opinions rather than facts. Opinions on what is right and wrong, L.G.B.T ( Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender), and abortion. Many people have different perspectives on morals. Not everyone agrees with others peoples opinion on these certain perspectives. Next, every culture has some sort of tradition. In America, a huge celebration would be the Super Bowl. Families and friends gather together to watch the largest football game of the year, and to barbecue. Lastly many people

In the fall of 2015 I was given orders to report to Baumholder, Germany. I had anticipated my first assignment eagerly ever since I signed up for the Army in March of that same year. Without any idea what to expect, I dove in blind. The early days of my assignment in Germany were lonely, confusing, and misguided. I know that I was extremely anxious to impress my peers and supervisors. I knew that if I showed I was the best, I would not have to worry about being seen as the child I was used to being seen as. All of the pressure from coming to a new unit had me on edge. I met Sergeant Phillips shortly after my arrival to Germany, and needless to say we did not ‘hit it off’. We had troubles in the beginning but I would not have integrated into this Army so well if it weren’t for the guidance and example of Sergeant Adam Phillips. Sergeant Phillips made a lasting impression on my life professionally and personally.

Remembering my childhood will never be left to my withering memories alone. From the monstrosity that was the 8mm Sony Camcorder to the ease of the pocket size Nikon Cool-Pix, the camera has always been an everyday part of life for my father and I and there is an enormous Rodich Family archive to prove it. From my very first steps to the pumpkins carved a few weeks ago, my father has always been there to capture the moment. It is truly a gift to be able to have such an elaborate archive of my life growing up and I am incredibly thankful for my father’s dedication to documenting the times that have defined my character and made me who I am today.

Growing up in suburban Cincinnati, Ohio, I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by sameness. Everyone had the same skin color, the same religion, the same financial situations, the same interests, eventually people even started to look the same. While on the surface I seamlessly blended in with the others, there was something that separated me more than most would think. I was born into a Jewish family, and my mother instilled in my sister and I from a young age to be active in our religion. We went to sunday school for ten years and now are both assistants in the classes, we joined Jewish youth groups, we both had our Bat Mitzvahs and our Confirmation services, and I teach Hebrew to students weekly. Being a Jew has always been a constant in my life.

So I moved on while I was walking around the town an idea came to my head. I should start asking people questions about some of this stuff so I can learn more. The first person , was a young man my question was "How do you feel about the Germans ?" He answers "man those guys are disgusting and reckless!" The second person was a female I asked "Okay , so when they started coming in your home what was their actions ?" She replied " they actions was good at first bringing me flowers

Thank you for listening to me I felt more listened to today. I still feel I'm not listened to but maybe I'm just too "sick in the head" over everything.

I am a daughter of a of a mother named Mechtild of Merthein, and father, he was a knight named Hildebert of Bermersheina. I also had a brother named Hugo of Tholey. I was born on September 16, 1098 at Nohe Germany. I had a husband named Jermy McInerny . As a child, I was often too weak to walk and sometimes could not see. As an adult, I could be in bed paralyzed for days. At the age of 43, I said God told me to write down what I heard and saw , and for the first time revealed her visions to the world.I am remebered because I found 2 monasteries or buildings, went on 4 preaching tours. One of my famous quote is “I am the feather on the breath of God.
