Personal Narrative: The Brain Dead

The stone was cold and I could feel the pain swelling up inside. I took a step towards the edge, I thought to myself, “One more step and the worries would end…” if only it was that easy.

There were fireworks when I was born. At least that’s what I’d like to think. I was born on July 5, 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia. I was only 31 minutes short from being born on Independence Day. I was pretty much an “outcast” from the beginning. I was quiet and usually preferred to be alone or with just my family. From a young age I became fascinated with movies, particularly older movies. When I was eleven years old I saw the film that helped me figure out what my passions were and who I wanted to be. The film was Dazed and Confused (1993). I know it sounds like a joke considering the films contents, but every aspect of it intrigued me. After watching that, I began developing an urge to do something in the film industry. Eventually when I was

Your evidence for DNA is the most practical and straight forward of all evidence. We all see parts of ourselves from both parents, as we see us and our parents, in our children. I look just like my mom with the exception of my dad’s complexion and hair type. My son baby pictures, look just like my mom, yet now he favors my dad more. I, myself, am completely an extrovert, with a very outgoing personality just as my mother is, whereas my father is just the opposite. My son is starting to take this trait from myself and my mom, easily seen in his never meeting a stranger, talkative, funny ways, as well as his mischievousness LOL.

While some may think that being a neuroscientist sounds boring, I think it would be

Prompt 6: My favorite academic subject by far is psychology. I’ve always been intrigued by why people do what they do and once I started watching the TV show criminal minds, my interest sparked in psychology. The way they profile people and really give an understanding of human actions makes my brain wander off. So that inspired me to take regular psychology last year and take AP-Psychology this year. My first year in psychology really caught my eye because the material was relatable and the work was challenging. We wrote essays, had class discussions, and worked on public speaking. Participating in all of these helpful assignments has made me realize I love a good challenge and that public speaking is easy for me. So far in AP-Psychology,

“The ability to act sensibly, promptly, and appropriately, especially in a difficult situation or emergency” describes a Presence of Mind. This late 1600s, idiom in effect says that one's mind is present and functioning. Some may attribute this to a person’s propensity to exercise self-control over their emotions and make lucid decisions when faced with adversity. As I ascribe to eagerly ascertain not only an evolving mind, but one of presence this has brought about a period of introspection. In the course of this reflective occasion, oral communication and attention to detail are availed as my strong suits whilst time management and adaptability were definitive deficits.

I'm composing you this since it's opportunity sure things are talked about. I contemplated how and where we turned out badly as I looked over some old messages between you and I. When you were conveyed in Qatar, the legitimate answer is we quit being there for each other. We communicated such a great amount of adoration to each other and were so worried with the other individual rather than ourselves. As I read it dishearten to me to perceive how we made this bond amid our marriage to let everything come apart out of childishness. We both were experiencing self issues, I was pregnant you sent. I couldn't relate and being pregnant turned into all I contemplated. Which lead to feeling undesirable on both sides. It never sounded good to me why

I don’t know if it was the seizures that killed my dog or the headaches that stole a month of my life, but the inner workings of the brain have fascinated me ever since.

I had to learn this lesson all on my own. It was hard and difficult to finally get the idea of my personal belief system. I believe it is mind over body if you can believe it you can achieve it. Just like the little boy playing with his fire truck when he grows up he can be a firefighter or anything that he believes he can be. Just like I believed that I would walk during my graduation. I actually got this idea of walking during graduation when I saw my older brothers graduation and had preconceived notions during seventh grade. I never thought that this dream possible to accomplish. It was at my eighth grade graduation that I really began to believe that it was possible for me to walk at my high school graduation. I am not saying that it was easy; I had to put in hard work, sweat, and tears to accomplish this goal.

Hello! I’m Jake! I have a secret. If I tell you, You’ll have to keep it to yourself. I can read minds. I know, I know, It sounds a little crazy. But I really can. Well if you don’t believe me, I’ll tell you how it all started.

This weeks videos on the brain taught me a lot of information that not only did I not know but that I would have never thought about. I didn't realize that the things that we do, or not do has such a huge impact on our brains. For instance the fact that the more weight a person gains the smaller their brain gets. I found these videos to be a huge amount of information and motivation for change. I found it good to know that you are not stuck with the brain that you have and that you are able to improve your brain function by the good choices in life that you make.

I grew up in a semi safe environment that was filled with a variety of benevolent people, a vast majority of those people happened to be my family and family friends. The neighborhood was a little tough, there were gunfights in front of my home on three separate occasions and some home invasions but not too much. Thanks to my parents, I didn’t grow up around the rugged kids that Denver Harbor normally produced, so I grow up different from all of the other kids. My parents spoiled me as a child, but thankfully I wasn’t spoiled rotten. My mother and father were and still are fantastic parents, they’re the reason I’m where I’m now. I feel like I eventually grew up right, however I wasn’t always on the right path. There was a long time where I wasn’t stable, I often wish I could rewrite that section of my life, but it’s a part of my

Whoosh!!! The faint sound of the arrow locked onto its kamikaze mission as it flew towards its unsuspecting target. Shhhhunk! The razor tip had found its mark! First was the soft skin, then the delicate rib meat. The lungs and top of the heart provided no resistance as the arrow followed its flight into the frosty ground. Intrigued yet?
