Personal Narrative: Radford

My real age test placed me at 38.4 years old, just .9 under my actual age of 39. Apparently, I am doing what is necessary to maintain my age. The survey pointed out a number of things I am doing well, most notably are, my cholesterol level, which is quite low, my solid sleep schedule, which enables me to get 7 hours or more a night, having a healthy amount of sex, a solid social life with friends and family, life perspectives that reduce stress, and experiencing few financial difficulties all help me stay younger. Additionally, eating nuts, having breakfast regularly, minimizing red meat, and maximizing frequency of eating fish all contribute to reducing my “RealAge”. However, there are a number of things I can do to decrease my RealAge.

Growing up with a father in the military, you move around a lot more than you would like to. I was born just east of St. Louis in a city called Shiloh in Illinois. When I was two years old my dad got the assignment to move to Hawaii. We spent seven great years in Hawaii, we had one of the greatest churches I have ever been to name New Hope. New Hope was a lot like Olivet's atmosphere, the people were always friendly and there always something to keep someone busy. I used to dance at church, I did hip-hop and interpretive dance, but you could never tell that from the way I look now.

As we close out the 43rd game of the season, the Phillies drop to 15-28. As the pitching woes continue, it's tough to look on the bright side. It's understandable for the fans to be anxious, but it's all apart of the rebuild. I'm here to tell you to R-E-L-A-X. The team is still incredibly young and in the process of getting back to October. Maikel Franco is struggling a bit at the plate. Picking up the slack in the lineup is Tommy Joseph, who has been on absolute tear through the month of May. Cesar Hernandez has cooled off a bit but still playing some good ball. What can't I say about Aaron Altherr? He's everything you can ask for right now and then some. One thing you can look forward to is one of the most exciting

I am in the process of attempting to secure Rev. Charles Jackson pastor of Guiding Light Baptist Church in Fulton, MO. I do not have a current contact number for him. I attempted to contact him using the Church number and apparently it’s not the right number. If I do not reach him by this evening, I will contact my second choice which is Rev. Charlie Wright, pastor of Second Baptist Church, Fayette, Mo. If you have any suggestions for the speaker please let me know.

Henry had a lot of courage going into the first battle. He didn't truly know what war was like so that might be why he wasn't scared. The first battle was not very brutal and Henry stayed calm. His friends were calm as well and Henry didn't want to seem like a coward if he ran away. Henry got some respect for staying during the first battle. There was a different story however for the second battle.

I am Ripply, the people call me a goat, but they are wrong. I am a dog, I am for sure a dog. I am the third biggest animal here and the two horses are the biggest, Sweetness and Lexi. I was just starting to miss Daisy's bark and was a little sad that day. I was laying on my ramp, the ramp is like my only safe haven. And the man's big machine pulled up after two whole days away. The machine smelt funky so I got off of my ramp and followed the machine. The man's son hopped out first and said “Scoot back Ripply!” so I moved away from the door. The man was leaning into the back of the seat and started talking. His door flew open and a huge animal tried jumping out, I ba’ad and took off towards my ramp. The other dogs were surrounding the new animal blocking my view to see was it was, the people led the animal into the house and I didn’t hear anything about it until next morning.

Interviewing Rad made it clear to me the reason of miscommunication between us. Recognizing the similarity of my own childhood trauma experience with him was the key to help me comprehend my struggle as the future therapist with working with traumatized children. As Robbie Adler-Tapia (2012) wrote about relationship between therapist and a child: “ this is valuable information because the therapist’s reactions to the child, often labeled countertransference, are likely a good representation of the child’s experience of being in the world and in relationship with others. (p.53)

When I was young my Dad would always remind me of how important these years as a kid are. He would always say watch how you act as a kid, for it will set the stage for the rest of your life. So many people I know ruined their lives when they were kids. This small, yet so important statement runs through my mind everyday. I love how everyone says they don’t care what people think of them, but I wish they knew how important it is to have a good image. I am not perfect, but I would like to be close as possible. But as Salvador Dali said “Have no fear of perfection, you’ll never reach it. “ The problem I see is everyone wanting to be someone that they are not. Sure, we all have our idols that we look

Something I will be reflecting on from my 8th grade year ,and how this will change myself for freshmen year. I did study a lot through the whole year of 8th grade,and i should have.I feel 8th grade could have gone better for me if i did things differently like preparing myself for hard tests, I never studied till the end of the year when i found out it really helped me out.

I believe that the best dreams are ones that you share with people, who conceive them be so preposterous that they cannot help but laugh in your face that you could even think of possibly reaching that point one day. Entering High School, I had begun taking basketball more seriously than any other sport and had the goal of earning a Division 1 scholarship. Which would be the first step in making my dream of playing professionally a reality.

The things I carry with me as I walk around Radford is a cluster of mixed emotions. I have anxiety about meeting new people and how to leave my comfort zone. I feel overwhelmed because I have never gone this long without seeing my family. I have doubtfulness in the ability for me to succeed. I stress about the grades I may receive on assignments that aren’t even due. I strive to make outstanding grades that I know I could achieve if I break my lazy habits.

My high school career has been full of amazing experiences. During these four years, I found something that is created many of these amazing experiences. Theater. I have put in four years of my life into theater, and I will put in another four when I go to college.Theater has helped shaped me into who I am now. Now I can push away my anxiety and nervousness so I can focus on what’s really important. I have learned to be a great leader, and to assert myself into certain positions that others would find uncomfortable. I learned to be more of an assertive person, able to take and give orders better than before. I’m a reliable person alway there when you need help. I have learned to be very attentive. If I am paying attention then I am more likely

Throughout my ePortfolio, you will see mountains. The main reason why is that I connect the journey of hiking a mountain to the journey of life. Life will sometimes rain during your hike, or you may find yourself stuck in a valley, or it can be one of the brightest days on the mountain top. One thing is for sure the best part of life is the journey, the good and the bad. My goal is that by the end of this ePortfolio, you will glimpse how beautiful the journey is.

In the beginning of my college career, I was hardly the student that I am today. There were many
