Personal Narrative: Properm Cells

My CNTRL-Z happened 4 weeks ago. It was when I broke my leg. I was at my moms friends house babysitting at the time. I was just leaving the house I slipped down 2 stairs. Than, me, my mom, and Austin went to the hospital. The people working at the hospital took my x-ray. And told me that my leg was broken. Although, when I was at the hospital, the doctor wasn’t there at the time. He was around the area still so he came back to help me. I thought it was pretty awesome, that he would come back for me.

I never thought of myself as a person who would try anti-aging products, figuring that aging is just a natural part of life that I would adjust to as it happened. However, in the past few years, I have become increasingly self-conscious about the lines appearing on my face. I feel like they make me look older than I feel.

You know that moment when you’re trying to reach the toilet paper but can't quite, then fall and kill yourself on a pumpkin? Yeah I know that feeling… it’s not good. It all started one very normalish day at 1065 Fitzgerald Ave.

How do you know if you’re a good writer? Hmmm. Well, the first thing to check is how your writing changes over time and how you’ve improved it from past mistakes. I’ve never really liked writing, it’s stressful and annoying knowing that if you can’t focus and get down to Earth for a paper that you could flunk your grade. I believe that I am great with the general of writing such as grammar, spelling, and punctuation; however I still believe that I could work on improving my vocabulary with more descriptive words. I would like to find out how much I have improved and learned since the start of 8th grade.

Baghdad, Iraq is where I was born and raised; I lived there for about 6 years during the most pivotal years of the war. My dad left when I was about 7 months. He went to Lebanon to live for a few years before settling in the United States. My mom took care of me and my siblings. War was going on in Iraq; people walked with a dying heart. Iraq was split into Shiite, Sunni, and Christianity. Sunni and Shiite do not have any issues with one another, but there are people who do not like the Shiites and caused civil strife between the two divisions of Islam. My family is Shiite and we do not believe in a separation between anyone because we are one, they are

Kyle had completeely missed Olivia's upturned face, and the expectation of the kiss, his outward demeanour apparently normal, as were his words, but his internal thoughts consumed by visions of the mansion, for that's all it be called, and how his old College buddy had been able to afford it. Of course, he already knew the answer to that second question, by stealing the ideas they'd both worked on together back in their dorm room, and claiming it fully as his own. The flash of bitterness and envy elicited by the sight of the perfectly manincured green lawns, and colourful flowers, pruned to perfection that offset the pure white brick, and brought attention to it's magnificence quickly abated, as he remembered his girlfriend, who knew nothing

One of two. That's how I feel everyday of my life. I'm a twin and that means I will never be complete without my other half. When I was younger, I learned that having a twin does not keep me from things. It's getting to have a person in my life that I don't need to hide from, other than in hide and seek. When I was little, my brother probably hated me as much as I hated him. But we were together all the time. We went to school together, we were in the same class almost all the time. Sometimes, we had the same friends even. We shared birthday parties, cakes, presents, money. Basically the same things we still share now. But between us, we shared secrets. Little things that we thought were so cool. When my grandma gave us money, we split it and made sure not to tell our parents. I went and bought

I send my mom a quick text to let her know where I am going, and we are off in five cars lined up like a Mardi Gras parade. I have a bad feeling about this. I have never been to Micah’s grandmother’s house, and I am totally alone in the last car. If I lose them at a turn or a light, I might never find my way, but I have no other choice but to drive myself because of my early curfew. My friend, Ben, is in the car in front of me, and I am staying close behind him, so I don’t get lost.

We have made it to Alcove Springs!! It’s a beautiful place lots of trees, water, and animals, it was just so calming and peaceful. We camp out here for two days and at night we have these little entertainment parties so we aren't to bored. We had a big dance out in the dark and everybody was just so happy, kids playing and dancing with each other and the music was just so wonderful. The only bad thing about this place is all the mosquitoes, poor little Hazel and Juniper are all bit up and itchy. Just terrible but eventually we are leaving so it will be okay and we will get over it.

I woke up. Feeling groggy, I went to take my pills. Being the way my brain was, I needed pills to function. I see things, but others don’t see them. These things, they are right in front of my face, but they are not visible to other people. I could not find my pills, I looked everywhere, even in my drug stash. They were not there. Wait, I sold them to Angelo. Well, remembering this, I need to go to the drug store.

I wish I could tell you all of this in person but I know if I try I’ll probably get very nervous and forget some small details that I would really like to tell you, and those are probably the most important to me. I saw you for the first time on February 23 at the valentines party, and that was such a fortunate thing to go to because I was able to get free food, have a good time, see old friends I haven’t seen since last semester, but most importantly I was able to see you. I didn’t know who you were at the time, but I knew you were like a very sweet, funny, caring, smart, and very beautiful just from your appearance. I first noticed you when you sat across from me when we were playing charades, and that’s when I knew that I wanted to get to

“We don’t have anytime time to waste today guys, get moving!” my mom announced. My brother was coming today and she wanted the house to be spotless. We had just started fall break and I was in the fourth grade. I was playing games and relaxing like any 10 year old would do. My dad was lounging on the couch watching some show, and my siblings were running around. By then I had only 5 siblings, 2 sisters and 3 brothers. We had known for a while that Johnny, age 9 at the time, was coming to live with us, what we didn’t know was that he would bring with him a fish. I was happier than a child opening presents on Christmas. The fish was a beautiful white male betta with long flowing fins. He lived in a small 1 gallon tank with blue pebbles, pointy

When I interact with someone or the environment I am using the science of biology. The meat I eat was likely given GMO food and that is biology at work to try and feed the world. When ever I look at a banana I remember that it’s basically a man made plant and through the science of biology we were able to create it. Lastly medicine, with out biology I might have died for the onslaught of illnesses that I contracted as a baby. In the future I know medicine will advance and get better but biology’s biggest obstacle will be dealing with a second Spanish Flu and food in stores will be modified to be better and I might one day eat lab grown meat.

Have you ever had an event in your life that just opens your eyes to reality? I have, it was fall of 2011 when I realized that anything or anyone can be taken away from you at any second. In this case I learned this without losing someone or something special. My brother and I were involved in a car accident on our way home from one of my volleyball games. Just having a casual conversation and I look in front of me and screamed, it all happened so fast.
