Personal Narrative: The City Of Decatur, Illinois

It was a nice summer morning we I was all of a suden shoke like turbulence on a plane to wake up. It turns out I slept threw my alarm to wake up for the day. It was about 11:00 am and today we were heading to Florida and our flight takes off at 1:00 pm. You may think that we had time to make the airport in Milwaukee but, we had to drive all the way to Chicago, Illinois because there was no flight for Florida in Milwaukee. Luckily I had packed the day before with the rest of my family so all we had to do was wait for our aunt Lisa to take us to the aiport in Chicago. She showed up five minutes later with a mini van and there was about seven of us jammed in there. It was alright for me because in our family if you called “shot-gun” or “I

My family and I went to Chicago, for a family reunion. We took a plane there and you could see everything, windmills, houses ,roads, field, and clouds. The flight was only about one hour long from Omaha to Chicago. When we got to the airport in Chicago and there were people shoulder, a bunch of people in line to board planes. The only thought that went thought that came to my mind, was that when we come back to go home we will wait for hours to board the plane to take us back to Omaha.

Located in the heart of Illinois, in the great midwest, Decatur is well positioned geographically as a manufacturing, distribution and logistics center. The city of Decatur economy is largely a manufacturing driven economy with cutting edge business such as Tate & Lyle, Archer Daniels Midland, and Caterpillar, Inc. Both St. Mary’s Hospital and Decatur Memorial Hospital continue to be an important contributor to the economic profile of the city. The educational element of the economy, with the presence of Millikin University and Richland Community College, are also a great factor.

Once upon a time, in the middle of Decatur, lived a boy named Joe. Joe hated his life, hated where he lived, hated his school, and hated his family. He was a very angry person, and never found anything positive about his life. Nobody knew how he felt because he never talked to anybody, he stayed in his room and only went to school about twice a week. At this rate, he wasn’t going to graduate, but he didn’t care. He knew he could just be a garbage man and get paid about 16 dollars an hour.

From the very start I was an adventurous child. I am always looking for something new to try, something no one else would even think of doing. So, I’m going to take you to the first time I left school. By myself.

I live in the city of Detroit very near the Hamtramck, michigan. My address puts me in the 14th Congressional District which incl7des but is not limited to the cities of Detroit, Hamtramck, Southfield, Farmington Hills, and st.clair shores. Brenda L. Lawrence is my Congressional representative. Her political affiliation is the Democratic party.

I felt the bumping and heard the bus frame squeal quietly as we were on the journey to destination. We were in Detroit, Michigan for a mission trip. It was a new place full of new things for me to experience. And the most eye-opening experience for me was when we helped a neighborhood clean out a disastrous and neglected alley.

I live in Chandler, just of the Santan 202 freeway and Gilbert road. This is a great community and it borders the city of Gilbert, which means we enjoy amenities from both cities. There various characteristics that impact the quality of life of my family but the top three are hospitals, schools and colleges, and various city parks. The hospital (Mercy Gilbert), provide various health care needs for my family. My daughter was actually born in this hospital. The quality of care they provide has helped my family with easy access to care. School and colleges in my community has served the residents and outsiders with good quality education. This has a huge impact on my family as all my siblings at a point in their lives attended Chandler-Gilbert

Have you ever gone somewhere you never thought you would get to go? I have. Washington D.C, just somewhere in America. The capitol city; the most important city in America. Where the presidents lived, where Lincoln was assassinated. That’s all I had ever thought I would know about Washington D.C. I never thought I would have the chance to go. I never thought there could be so much history in one city. My whole viewpoint on this city would change in the span of 1 week.

If I had a ticket in my hand, I could travel to Nigeria to get in touch with my native culture or to Mecca to get in touch with my spiritual side, but I would rather travel to a place that is surrounded by the elements that I am passionate about. It turns out that music and black culture are such elements that I am passionate about. Therefore, if I had a ticket in my hand as if this very moment, I would be on the next flight to Atlanta, Georgia.

As for getting in and around Anniston the Anniston Eastern and Western bypass runs through some State routes and Highways making the city’s transport system easy to navigate.

Upon meeting with the SCCBOE this past weekend in Bluffton, we were told by the interim dean, Dr. Lawrence Gordon, that all candidates that were supply pastoring would need a letter of recommendation from their respective presiding elders in lieu of a letter from his/her pastor. On behalf on my brother, Rev. Damon Thornhill and myself, we would like to request a letter of recommendation. If anything is needed from either of us, please feel free to contact us at any

After school on Friday I went to Emily's house. We just watched tv and hung out in her basement until it was time to go to South Milwaukee for her sisters basketball game. Before we went to the game Emily's mom took us to Subway. When we got to South Milwaukee we found are seats and waited for her sisters game to start. It was South Milwaukee vs. Ronald Reagan. Since I don't really know that much about basketball, I'm not gonna explain the game because it would be really confusing The ending score was 42-29. South Milwaukee won. After the game there was a 20 minute warm up for the varsity team. During that time we talked to a girl named Jasmine that was there. When the game started Emily and I went to go sit by her sisters team. South

After completing my Associates Degree in Cisco Networking, I may need to leave the state of Ohio to find the position I desire. There are many American cities that would offer great job opportunities for an information technology position. The area I have chosen to explore is Atlanta, Georgia. It is approximately 700 miles and 10 hours from Akron, OH. The distance can easily be traveled by car or by the many available airline flights.

Sometimes do you ever just feel like there is someone out there waiting for you, to change your life, but you just haven't met them yet? In a world with over 7 billion people that is often the case. Out of those 7 billion people about 10,000 of them live in a small suburb of Michigan called the East Bend. Sounds fancy huh? Well you could say that. About one half of our town is full of nice well kept homes owned by businessmen or doctors. Then one fourth is owned by those regular everyday cookie cutter type families. Then the remaining fourth are well the others. The weirdo rednecks who love four wheelin and cow kicking, or just that one family the whole neighborhood just stays as far away as possible from. I’m one of those well normal families.
