Personal Narrative: Nan-Na Creation Stories

I was only 6 at the time and didn’t have any money of my own, but this year I had the opportunity to buy everyone gifts. For my mom, I got her something I know she would love because it was from me. Everyone has opened their gifts and we’re finally down to my moms. She picks up my gift and shouts “Woohoo” in excitement. “Thank you ladybug, I love it so much, we’re going to go there today” she says to me. It was an Old Navy gift card.

What is culture? Culture is the idea of what is wrong or right, the concept of what is acceptable within our society. Culture serves us as a guide, taking us to the "right way" and helping us to make sense of things that surrounds us. There are many different cultures around the world. A lot of them are similar in specific ways and others are just completely different, this difference explains why we think that people from different backgrounds are "weird".

Before moving to Saint Paul, Minnesota, two and a half years ago, I lived in Storm Lake, a small rural town located in northwest Iowa. There was no big Hmong population there, only a few family friends. I was very hesitant to share my culture at school because I did not know how to explain the elaborate traditions and its purposes. For example, sacrificing animals to ancestors is an outdated practice and not understood by many people. Traditions like this only exist in historical textbooks. I was scared of being judged and looked on as weird. I did not know the purpose of dressing up in traditional clothing for new years, or what was the purpose of celebrating Hmong new year. I envied other cultures, for they had a history that was widely known and written down in text. I had no appreciation for my culture.

I, Deputy Gough received a call reference a white Ford truck driving in the Gamester trailer court all over the roadway. Upon my arrival I spoke with David Vore and Jennifer Vore. Jennifer Stated that Randy was the driver of the white Ford truck that said, “All Good Construction.” David and Jennifer both stated that they saw the truck drive through the yard hitting a slow child at play sign and the stop sign.

I was incredibly excited. School was starting tomorrow. The first few days were just icebreakers, learning everyone’s names, blah blah blah. Then the real learning began. Of course, teachers started to write our lessons on the board. I started to notice a few changes in what I was seeing. The words they were writing were just...black lines! I didn’t pay much attention to it, I just asked my friends what the board said. As the year went on, it affected me more and more, especially in math. I saw a 2 as a 6, and and an A as an 8.

Nanapush is displaying oral storytelling traditions by sharing directly the story to who he calls his granddaughter, Lulu. He tells her in hope of teaching her a lesson while leaving her with some Native American history and traditions. It is very obvious to us that he is a tribal elder that is proud of his heritage

She began to drive out of the parking lot as I turned on the radio. Nana was Meme’s oldest daughter and, long ago, lost much of her sanity due to drug abuse and now spends much of her time sleeping or talking to things that aren’t there. She is also my grandmother and my Meme now must care for her. This wouldn’t even be the worst of her troubles, however. Her husband had been abusive and beat her frequently; she still suffered epileptic attacks to this day.

On Saturday, I had the chance to attend the recital of Antonio “Nio” Ajero at the Cole Concert Hall on campus. It was an interesting and unforgettable experience, Nio, is a young boy with impeccable talent. I didn’t really know what to expect when I decided to attend the event since I had never even been to a piano recital for anyone, especially not one for a child. As the Hall began to fill, the lights dimmed and Nio, greeted the audience with a bow, his father was also there. When he started playing it was a harmonious feeling that filled the air, he played with such emotion. He seemed to become one with the piano, they seemed to morph into one soul. At this point in the show I was already in shock that a child could play the piano that well

What Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci coined "The New World" was now overrun by man-eating zombies. It all started in Chile and Argentina; news of a highly infectious pathogen had begun spreading at breakneck speeds. By the time epidemiologists had discovered the cause of this pathogen it had already spread to the Western half of the United States and was making its way east.

I am learning a lot about the victim and creator mindset from the under of the subtitle of Adopting a Creator Mindset in the chapter 2. It was leading myself a deep in my meditation of the flashback what I did do in my previous college of RIT/NTID. I decided to choose the writing about the creator mindset to base on my experience.

Sarah Robinson, of Roeland Park, Kansas, became known as the shoplifting mother earlier this week, when she was caught leaving a local Walmart with a shopping cart full of $300 worth of diapers, baby wipes, and shoes for her six children.

Providing a play area with a care taker available to watch their children while customers shop shows how they care about families. Although Safeway may not provide a child care center, some locations are equipped with car-carts, making shopping for small children much more excited to go to the grocery store. Employees at Safeway will help any customer that requires assistance. When I was working at store level and had more face to face time with customers, I assisted many shoppers with their groceries. There were numerous situations where a customer may have needed help, whether they were older needing assistance loading their vehicle or a mother with children who just needed an extra hand. Having a business provide assistance regardless the situation, is a great way to show that one does not discriminate. There were times where younger females who were shopping alone in the evening just wanting someone to walk them to their car. A business that cares about their customers with no questions asked shows
