Personal Narrative: Shortly After Graduation

Graduation Day Waking up from my sleep, I screamed loud so my parents could hear me today one is of the most  monumental days in my life . Yes!! After twelve long drawn out complicated and unrelieved years the wait was almost over.  Jumping out of my bed landing straight on my feet I swiftly ran into my parents room, but to my surprise the room was completely empty. Mom shouting to the top of my lungs almost busting them! Where are you? I am in the kitchen cooking breakfast and stop screaming you was not raised in the back of a barn. Smelling hotcakes, eggs, and bacon I ran to the kitchen as if it was the last supper. Sitting down at the table my mother advised to hurry up because we had numberless amounts of things to do before the extensive day. Nine hours away, let the countdown begin.

Returning to college, after graduating high school twenty-five years earlier, proved to be not only rewarding quite challenging as well. Viewing myself as a self-starter with extensive investigative skills I truly believed college path mapped out correctly, so I never met with an advisor, what a colossal mistake! I had self-scheduled all my courses and although I faced a few obstacles I was finally at the end. After completion of all my pre-requisites I applied to the LPN-RN Fast Track Program, little did I know my past would stop me dead in my tracks.

Returning to college has been a prodigious challenge. One in which I determined I would meet head on with resolution. As a fine arts student I was fortunate to find a mentor in the Paradise Valley Community College Theater Director, Andrea Robertson. Andrea perceived potential in me and encouraged pursuit my goals as a writer/director. I took the initiative to approach Andrea with the idea to write and direct my own play in the Advanced Directing course. This past fall that idea came into fruition. As a director I oversaw numerous different areas in the production of my play. These were roles filled by fellow students, allowing the opportunity to provide guidance and leadership to peers. I worked with actors, stage management, set design, prop

Life After Gradutaion Throughout my four years here at Blackfoot high school, I’ve changed a lot. I went through many different phases from my freshman to my senior year. My freshman year I remember thinking “I don’t need college,” “College isn’t for me,” “I’m not going to college,” Boy, was I wrong.

i. Upon entering college, I thought that you had to have a majority of your life planned out. You had to have a career of interest, an intended major, and a solid plan for after college. Little did I know, you didn’t need your whole life agenda prearranged after high school graduation. A lot of people say that college is a time to explore and find yourself, and that was something I never fully grasped until I was enrolled at Western Washington University. Throughout my first year and a quarter, I’ve had the ability to take classes in many different fields of study ranging from; humanities, lab sciences, multicultural studies, and many more. Even though these array of different classes were taken for General University Requirements, it allowed

I was given a life sentence at the age of seventeen. Since I was a freshman in highschool I have had plans to attend college after high school. I realized that I was an average student but I always tried hard in school hoping to one day impress the admissions board of a college I hoped to attend. I took classes in highschool that were completely out of my comfort zone in hopes to figure out what I would do with my life after high school. During junior year I was put into a web design class that submerged me into what seemed like another universe, the cyber world. I even learned a new language, program coding and how to design websites. I was fascinated and I would spend hours on end learning this new language. Soon I decided that I wanted to

Since I was so young I was worried that I wasn’t ready to take on such a big challenge, but graduating early was the better of the two choices I have ever made. I had to decide on this my sophomore year, which at age fifteen wasn’t an ideal choice

My life began 14 years ago on September 22, 2000 at about 1:30 pm at Mesquite Medical Center. I weighed 6 pounds 3 ounces and was 19 inches long. I have a sister who is 6 years older than me and is currently attending Stephen F. Austin for her 3rd year. When I was born, I had little blue spots on my body, but the most noticeable one is on my finger, it has grown as I have gotten older. My dad also has these mysterious spots and has been to many dermatologists to try and figure out what they are but no doctor knows exactly what to call them.

Once I leave to college to start my future I hope that I won't leave my father with the constant fear of worrying about the financial troubles that lie ahead of him. I want him to be able to relax and know that his daughter is well taken care of. This scholarship will help me accomplish my goals and watch out for my family.

It was very nice working with you during this term. You have done a stellar job in all your classes and I am very proud of your progress. I have updated your grades in all your classes. Let me know if you have any question about them.

2017 has been a year to remember. I did many things that can only be imagined in one year. Graduating high school, traveling the world, starting college, and having people enter and leave my life so fluently.

The time has come for me to proudly say I have made it. As I am in the position to rejoice the success of my life, I remembered you. The moment I walked in to your classroom in 9th grade, you have guided me and supported me to excel in my academics. As a newly immigrated student to the country, you have helped me learn English and went out of your way to accommodate my academic needs by staying afterschool.

“But mom, everyone is going to this party, I just moved to a new school and I want to make friends! Besides I’m seventeen years old and a senior in high school I think it's time I start making my own decisions.” I whined With her hands to her temples rubbing

Hello, fellow students! Good afternoon, honorable professors and parents! Before I commence my cheerful speech, replete with touching personal stories and morale, let me thank you for an honor address you tonight. I highly appreciate it and still can barely believe it.

Many high school graduates remember the moment they got a car or the time they got the graduation party they were dreaming of since freshman year. For me it was when my uncle bought me my very own 1911 Sig spartan. It was May 11, 2016, the day of my graduation, my mom, dad, and uncle were there along with some of my dad’s co-workers. I just finished getting my diploma from a teacher i've never seen before, and was glad to meet up with my family.
