Personal Narrative: New Apparel

I was terrified. I thought of Baba, of Hassan and how he left me. How could he? I saved him and he ran. My best friend. My first memory.

what I remember most. The feeling of sadness rested in the pit of my stomach for days

Everything that I have attained in the past helped define who I am today. Everything I have gone through and have done in the previous years of my life molded me into the person I am today. Not only have they shaped me into who I am; but also guided me in discovering the potentials I did not realize that I had. Without the challenges and hardships of the past, I know that I would not be who I am today.

This past year, I have been apart of Naperville Central’s brand new Special Spaces club. When my friend approached me and asked me to join, I agreed even though I had no clue what I was involving myself in. In retrospective, I can honestly say that becoming a part of Special Spaces has been one of the most meaningful, fun, and fulfilling experiences I have had in high school.

He went back to NC that night because he still had to work next day. He was waiting to transfer his positioning to Sevierville store. Everything was still the same, he came every weekend and we had such good time. We had plan about going to see my family in 2016 and we were working and saving money on it.

someone. One of the hardest responsibilities I've ever had to take on, was when I had to babysit, Brennan, my little brother. I thought I would not do a good job, but I knew it was something I had to learn how to do. Also, when I babysat my brother, I felt that it would help my parents if I knew how to take care of him. Although I was very nervous, I told my parents that I would babysit my little brother. Something that I didn't know, was that I was learning a lot about taking responsibility for things in life. It was a very interesting learning experience for me.

As a new owner of Appealing Apparel I would test out or mix together a couple different styles of leaderships. To me a leader is someone that motivates you to do something. Also, a leader is someone you can look up to. Knowing what I would want is a leader is how I would base off of what I would do. As a leader I would have weekly meetings to discuss what I have seen in the past week and how our sales have been. I would request to have employee’s opinions of the store. In the meeting I would include what event we have planned this week. Some events would be sale or conventions. I may give tasks of what need to be done each day. I would mostly like everyone to be on the same page going into a new week. When going into the week I would bring

Our new calf "Merida" has been with us for three days now. She is as adorable and enthusiastic about life as we could possibly hope for. Her mother Sugar Dot is also doing well and is starting to adjust to her new role as mother and homestead milk cow.

My agency dress code is appropriately based on the paid staff and volunteer job environment, which always requires the maintenance of a personal hygiene including professional etiquette. The dressing code tends to be business casual for the paid staff members, but tend to be more casual on volunteers’ base on the job aspect. When I started as an intern I would dress professionally by wearing a long sleeve sheet shirt with a tie, and a slack with belt on including a nice comfortable shoes. In the beginning the ways I was addressing seemed appropriate.

I threw my books on my bed and approached the jacket slowly as if it were a honey bear I was about to wrestle. The jacket was guacamole colored with mustard yellow lines. My mom yelled and said that my jacket was in my closet. I flung the closet door open. I see it, the jacket was a crisp smooth leather padding for the sleeves with jean style felt for the body.

You know that feeling you get deep down in your gut that lets you know you’ve screwed up? As Soon as my father drove up, I couldn’t get rid of that feeling. Let me explain what led to this event.

I was born and raised in Grand Prairie, Texas, but I consider Moody, Texas to be my home town. I spent my high school years in Moody, and it was there where I made the friends with whom I still remain in contact today. As one might expect, it was quite a culture shock to move from a Dallas-adjacent city boasting a population of over 100,000 to the small, farm-and-cattle town which was measured in acres rather than miles, and my two brothers and I each handled the transition very differently.
