Personal Narrative: Paul Brown

I would first like to say nice to meet you and thank you for your service in the Air Force. In your post I noticed you mentioned that you are a duck hunter and that you also garden in you off time. I was wondering when you first took an interest in those two things and how long have you been doing it for. As an LSU Tigers fan who did you find more entertaining to watch this year the football team or the basketball team with all the hype surrounding Ben Simmons. Another question I feel the need to ask is what is your favorite Louisiana dish to eat and/or cook? It been a while since I have been to Louisiana and enjoyed the food but it always nice to hear what the locals say are best things to eat from there.

I met with Carman Mitchell to have an interview regarding their non-profit company and to fill out paperwork she needed for the company. Also, she gave me an orientation and training. The company is located in the city of Centerline and they rent a spot in a Catholic Church building that is quite old. The church used to be called St. Clement Catholic Church and was in service from 1854 until 2007. Coincidently, I remember attending this church with my grandmother as a child for Christmas Eve mass. As of June 30, 2012, the church is named St. Mary, Our Lady Queen of Families. Moreover, I did not get to see the whole inside of the space they are occupying in the building. I observed the reception type area and then a hallway that had various rooms. Carman took me into a room which was her office and it had an older computer, tables, old carpeting, and filing cabinets. There was sufficient work space which was nice.

and Vontrell Williams always made it their business to get me back on my feet. The trainers would change my bandages daily, and I was sidelined. The following Spring 2014 I hoped to get healthy enough to get invited to camp because I never been. My goal was to always step on the field. Everything that I was going through was going to be worth it if I just got one second on the field. Summer 2014 I worked 40 hours a week, participated in all team activities and workouts, while taking two classes. I worked so hard to make camp and was told that I was going. The very first day of camp when everyone was getting ready, I found out that I would no longer be going. I was told if someone got hurt, I would be the first to replace him. Another terrible

The days leading up to the fifth of August had been characteristically Irish, complete with clouds in Connemara, a daylong drizzle in Dingle, and forty-mile-per-hour winds at the Cliffs of Moher (which, under said conditions, were more deserving of their Princess Bride alias, the Cliffs of Insanity). In Ireland, the island nation that gifts its western seaboard with 225 days of rain each year, fickle weather is a fact of life. But now, for eight hours, my family needed the Wild Atlantic Way to tame itself—perhaps, for just one day, the Mild Atlantic Way could suffice?

Monday was sweet, emotional and so addicting. This is my first read from author E.L. Todd and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this book hooked me from the beginning. I loved Hawke and Francesca. They were so hot together and I couldn’t stop myself from reading.

I was scared. No, I was more than scared. Terrified maybe. As I looked out the window in my two bedroom house, I could see a van in my driveway. It was completely dark, I was supposed to be sleeping, but of course, I was not. My mom was at work. I started pacing around, thinking of what my mother said to do if there ever was an intruder. However, I still couldn’t remember, I guess I was too busy with my pacing.

Excitement filled my head as I raced to to be first in the cafeteria, everyone, like dogs, ran till they reached the big metal door. The exquisite smell filled my nostrils, making me even more anxious to get to the food from a line that seemed abyssal. Finally, I made it to the front of the line, like a flash, I grabbed the tray and anxiously hurried the lunch lady to put my name in the computer. I hurriedly made my way to the table in which my friends were seated; looking for a chair to grab, I finally find one and sit. Laughing and talking, I knew I would have a good time, just like every day.

One sunny morning my dad said I have a great idea let’s go on the boat so we put the fishing poles in the truck and went on are way. We got up to the docs and me my sister and my mom were holding on to the boat,while my dad put the truck away. We could tell the water was choppy but we didn’t know why so we paid no attention, “till it happens”.

S: Today the client was on lunch duty which means she was helping the kitchen staff in serving food to other students. After this, the client was able to help and engage in developing a treatment plan. It was first discussed what P.C would like to work on over all. She stated that her goal should be improving her friendship with her classmates and improving her feelings. Her goal was set to improve social and emotional functioning. It was decided that the objectives would include improving her self-esteem and engaging with her peers more. It was then discussed the action steps that will be taken place for each of these objectives. It was agree upon that P.C would write in a journal about her feelings and focus on positive feelings. She explained

Everything about him made the hairs on my skin rise. Being behind him - not knowing I’m there - made my stomach fill up with butterflies. When he looks at me my cheeks turn a crimson color and it doesn’t go away for hours. I got hurt once before and I didn’t want to get hurt again and maybe all guys were the same that’s what we all say when we get heart broken. But, something about him made me want to get to know him, though I was afraid to get attached again.

God makes us new people and transforms our thoughts, actions, and desires to become more Christ like inward and outwardly. After Paul received God’s grace and salvation, Paul's attitude totally changed, he was humbled because of his past, appreciation for God's grace to him as a sinner, and compassion for those who have never had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. When we face God's grace, we want to serve Him on a daily basis. This daily service doesn't have to be in an approved church location or function. Instead, it can happen as we simply reach out to others throughout the day. We must be willing to step outside our comfort zones outside of the normal box we put on life, we must be willing to suffer persecution in our service to

I am here with John Daniels. John, you are giving me your permission to record this conversation, right?

Cliché, as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary, can be a “stereotyped expression, a commonplace phrase; also, a stereotyped character, style, etc.” (OED, n. 3.a.). We often use and hear numerous phrases that classifies as a cliché. I am one of the guilty many that scoffs at and mumbles “Ugh” under my breath, accompanied by an exaggerated rolling of the eyes every time these worn out expressions are used. However, as I sit here in the dark, laughing at myself with my dog at my side, I cannot help but realize that I am about to use a cliché: “you can’t judge a book by its cover”; I am all of the brilliant pages inside a tattered cover book.

Back when I first started high school it was a whole new experience and there were many learning curves. A story I read reminded me of my years in early high school and how i had it rough with the people there. I made some good friends but I also made many enemies. Through my time there I learned the ups and downs of this new society of people.

Previously, parents quickly taught their children the importance of sharing and considering others’ needs before their own. They expected their offspring to submissively sacrifice incongruent desires and wishes. Parents did not tolerate selfishness from anyone at anytime. Then came the millennials, also called the me generation. The typical millennial, concerned only with his or her own happiness, pursues self satisfaction relentlessly. They only reflect upon their fellow man’s needs when it benefits them. Millennials have been called lazy, selfish, and worthless by their peers. This leads one to ponder selfishness’ roots, how it became such an undesirable trait and whether or not it actually impairs society. Through Atlas Shrugged, Ayn
