Personal Narrative: The Day Of August

It started as typical Tuesday with a couple of court hearings, maybe an arrest, but nothing to exciting. That all changed at dawn.

At our previous class period, we had to go through a practice interview. I am happy and thankful that I did go through some interviews before in my life so I thought it was going to be a breeze, but I was mistakened. What I did noticed was this, “You will never know what you're going to be expecting at an interview.”

Going into the fall 2014 semester, my family was not in a good place financially, and I was not mentally. Our income had been reduced, meaning I had to step up to help my family. This caused my already weakened mental state to become even more strained and took a toll on me physically. I was not able to concentrate on anything at school, work, and home, it was almost in a blur. When I resigned from the fall 2014 semester, I knew it was something that was needed to make sure I stayed healthy, mentally and physically. Two years went by and I found myself in a better place. Going into the fall 2016 semester, I found the perfect balance between studying, work, and home life. In the end I exceeded all the expectations I had set for myself in every

I first worked for Summer at Saints last year, as a volunteer unsure of what this experience would entail. Between the first drop-off and the final pick-up, I was quickly impressed, and to some extent intimidated, by its ability to transform. The timid became unafraid, the wild became calm and the rancorous became kind. The experiences of being a volunteer, and seeing these children mature, even in the smallest ways, has been the most rewarding experience at Summer at Saints.

Today I woke up at 7:30. Mom and dad went to breakfast. While they went to breakfast, we got to stay home and eat breakfast and get ready to leave. Once mom and dad got home from breakfast, we packed up the fridge in the RV and get the dog stuff ready and packed. When getting ready to leave I had to take the blocks out from under the car. A few minutes into driving we had to stop driving because when I was in the back I noticed that one of the bike wheels were not strapped down so we stopped at Harriton High School to fix the wheel. Also while driving the refrigerator was blinking so I had to go turn it off and then on to see if that would help and that didn't work so we just decided to drive and not worry about it. At 12:51 we stopped at KFC Georgetown Delaware, which isn’t my favorite, but there is nothing else so I have

Hot summer day in southern California I was born at 1:17p.m. on August 13, 1996 in San Diego. My father was a marine and my mom was a stay at home mom like most of the wife’s of marines. I have three older sisters and one older brother and two younger brothers my older siblings are my half-sisters and brother. My two younger brothers both have a disability Carlos (Ricky) was born in Patterson, New Jersey he was immediately rushed into surgery because he has a heart condition when they had to cut him open and preform open heart surgery. My other little brother Gabriel Jr (Gabe) was diagnosed with autism when he was two or three he still has yet to talk to this day. My little brothers are a big part of my life I love them so much. If I lost one

Week one has passed by quickly! I think this week was very successful and I can say that I have learned many new things. This week has been an experience for me learning things about the business world. I am not a business major so I was not expecting to take these classes. I was assigned them, but have found them very beneficial. As I read through the first couple of chapters I read things I had heard before. This was a good thing that I could put the information with the terms I had heard previously.

Since moving to Orillia back last September, I have wanted to drive on my own to Barrie and just walk around the Georgian Mall just to prove my self that I can drive on the high way and I can go any where if I try. When this assignment came about I knew right away that I would choose the “Day of Nonconformity” because going to Barrie is something I want to do for myself and not for anyone else. I choose to go on a Friday because that was the best time for me to go because I have no classes that day and I also have school to be done so I though Friday would work for me. Also, one of my friends tagged along so that I was not alone on this trip. I got to walk all around and went into the stores I want to go into. I never actually ended up buying

“Good evening”, Cameron Joy Gaspord said to Resident A as she delivers their freshest made dinner to them.  This is a part of Cameron’s job; however, to Cameron, it is far more than a job. Cameron’s first day at Grace Point, over a year and a half ago, she was unsure of her job. Now a year and a half later Cameron knows every tiny detail from the seating chart to all the residents' names. Due to state laws, Cameron is not allowed to share the name of residents or any health complication.

I feel good about the PBL calendar because I can keep up with the dates I need to turn important things in.What excites me is i can know when something needs to be turned in.What makes me nervous is i will forget about something and not turn it in and get a bad grade.Ideas that come to mind is that somebody can help me keep track of what i need turned

I have never looked up information about the day I was born, but The Day newspaper and my family supplied plenty of interesting information. I was born on December 24, 1997, in Phoenix, Arizona. I moved to Kentucky in 2000; therefore, I was too young to remember living there. Some people think that being a Christmas Eve baby is cool. Except they don’t understand what it’s like when your family members combine your birthday and Christmas presents together.

One summer day Cierra McCall and I decided that it would be a great idea to go to the beach. At first, we sat in the car for a while thinking where we wanted to go. Cierra and I threw out many ideas on which beach we wanted to go to. Then, she said "let's go to Mahai'ula." I replied "Ya sure I've never been there before." She said "great." The following day we left the house around 8am to get to the beach by 9am. It was a long drive over, but it gave me the opportunity to bond with my best friend Cierra. I am a gregarious person who just likes to be facetious on occasions. When we arrived at the beach I didn't expect us to have to hike to get to the beach. We did, but it wasn't as bad I thought it would be. The water was crystal clear and the

The classes was during the summer of 2014 fell during the Islamic month of Ramadan. I have provided a calendar with the days of fasting and corresponding Gregorian calendar dates listed on it. The days of fasting are a real challenge sometimes during which we refrain from eating and drinking anything from dawn to dusk. As the days during the summer is much longer compare to the rest of the year, the strain on our bodies is even bigger. The fact that I was fasting coupled with my busy work schedule took a devastating toll on my body and I felt sick. I have provided a copy my blood work during my doctor visit where I was diagnose with appendicitis. Thankfully after consulting a different lab and enduring a few days of excruciating pain I was

July, I've decided is for forgetting already half over we could say that something is missing, sometimes something as endless as time has been wasted but instead, I hold a broken wrist watch let the tick-tocking of my memories fade to white noise there's nothing I want more than to be a clean slate, and what the rain cannot wash away I will not hold onto I will wait for a stronger storm to come, because July is for forgetting and I have so much time to let go

The music is soft as we dance the time away. Dance the pain away. Dance all of the outside world away. He becomes me, as I become him. Our faces seem to become more beautiful, or least his face does. he tells me that my face does the same, I don't quite know whether or not I should quite believe him. I want to, I will learn to make myself believe him. He's done me no wrong so far.
