Personal Narrative: The Pumpkin Changed My Life

Thanksgiving Memoir I was waiting in the car my mom was driving. I saw my brother sleeping so I could not play with him so I went back to sleep. My mom was calling” Ben Ben Ben!” I woke up, I was very drowsy It was time to get out of the car. My mom and dad were still waiting for my brother to get out of the car so I just waited. For 5 minutes I stood waiting for my brother to wake up.When my brother finally woke up feeling sleepy we headed to the front door and stepped over the threshold to see my relatives.

I wanted to go home, i was scared and lost in the woods with a 15 year old stoner. I pushed him out of the way and kept walking. He laughed and continued walking behind me. I walked faster than him anyway. I noticed we were starting to walk at an incline. Shouldn't we be at the main road by now? These woods went through the center of town they were about 2 miles long and 1 mile wide. We entered at the end of the woods and walked about half a mile deep. Even if we went to the 2 mile part we should be out by now. Something was up and i didn't know what to do. I turned around to ask ethan another

On September twenty seventh I was the only one in the house so I got up at noon like always and got ready for work, it only took me a few minutes and so I had plenty of time to grab something to eat. I walked to the kitchen and looked through the cabinets finding absolutely nothing but some chips up at the very top of the cabinet so, I did

Back at home one of my family’s favorite fall traditions is carving pumpkins. I still remember the first time I got to help with carving.

Everyone has an event in their life that helped changed them in some way or stood out to them in some type of way in their life. Rather if it is, something like a birth of a child, a death of a family member or even receiving a job. A significant event in my life and helped me grow as a person was when I decided to pack up and move to Houston, Texas. My move to Texas may have been short but in that short period it helped me to grow to be more independent and to provide for myself and much more. When I made the moved to Texas, I moved with family members that I knew but I was not close with it.

There I was sitting at the table eating what the nuns like to call food what just looked like to me slop I was sitting with my friend Felix. He came across a carrot and it was a full-size carrot he just sat there and stared at it not even touching it if he did not hurry up and I was going to grab it and eat it.

There was a split in the path. The sky was dark. I was sweating in my Indiana Jones costume. I could barely notice my family and friends next to me. The moon off to the side was are only light. My mother pointed and said

The Parsley Project involved the efforts of Ingrid Penrod, Blake Shrader, Christina Smith, and me. We did not know each other prior to this assignment but did our best to collaborate. None of us live in the same area which benefited the project in terms of our access to a number of different sites. Ingrid works in Logansport and grew up in North Manchester. Christina works in Peru and her mother-in-law is the head of the Charley Creek Gardens in Wabash. Blake works at a golf course near the Mississinewa Reservoir and lives in Greentown. All members agreed to collect samples near their homes.

My best Pecan Fest memory would have to be when I was in fifth grade. This Pecan Fest I got my friend Anna to ride the Zipper. This is how the whole day went on Saturday. Anna and I went on many rides all of them except for the Zipper. I kept begging her if we can go on it. She really wanted to but kept saying she was too scared. Later that day we did our fair dance to the song “We Go Together” from Grease the movie. When we got off stage I asked her again and it was the same answer as before. So we decided to stay together and go on more rides while I kept asking and still getting the same answer as the first time. It was the end of the Pecan Fest on Saturday we were both tired and our feet were about to fall off from all the running and fun we

My most memorable day was being accepted into Laredo Job Corps. I never thought the day would come. Then one morning the phone rang. I did not recognize the number, but decided to answer the call any way. Well, the day came. Wow! I was in.

Some days it feels like it was a lifetime ago, while other days it feels like only moments have passed. Yet here I am, unwrapping my treasured pumpkins. And just as I had predicted, I’m filled with an overwhelming sense of joy and relief that I made it through that frightening, dark tunnel.

Confused, shocked and fear filled my mind as I lye on my side, gasping for air, trying desperately to stagger onto my knees. A sharp pain suddenly ran up my spine into my forehead and quickly I collapsed back onto the cold damp floor inside this mangled metal coffin in which I was trapped in. Bit by bit I moved my hand closer to my forehead, trying to impede this massive throbbing that was affecting my head. I skimmed my forehead and paused my hand on a huge gash. The pain shot into my head again, but I was able to clutch on to the seat and hold my balance. There was blood pouring down the side

It was on July 25th when my family and I met at Faith Community Church around 5 in the morning. The big day had finally came. The day we were going to help the citizens of Ferguson Missouri through Convoy of Hope. With the help of forty churches in the St. Louis area, Ferguson, the city that was known for protesting, had a chance of hope. That day I was ready to make a change in the city. A change to make peace, and a change that would help the working poor in Ferguson. We were on a mission.

The first reason why I like Fall so much is because of all the dazzling pumpkins. My favorite thing about pumpkins is Going to the pumpkin patch and picking out the perfect pumpkin. For me the perfect pumpkin would have a bold orange color, and it would be immense, with a perfect slender look. Me and my family have been going to a pumpkin patch every year since I was about 2 years old. During our time at the pumpkin patch my brothers and I always have a contest to see who can find the biggest pumpkin in the field, nevertheless this time I won, the pumpkin I found weighed 15 pounds and was really fat with a nice sheer matte orange color. When I saw this pumpkin, it was like a glowing spot light had appeared right over the pumpkin. Something very unusual my brother Alex had found in the pumpkin patch was a s medium sized pumpkin that was kind of shaped like a peanut, he had most definitely won the award for most weird pumpkin. Once we all came home with our pumpkins, we started to carve our glorious pumpkins because we are so excited to see how they would turn out. In like manner the design’s that I

The sun was playing hide and seek with the moon, the moon was seeking. The trees standing motionless with their fingertips covered in baking sugar. As my eyes broke the horizon of the hill I felt something hit my feet, it was my stomach. Looking down the hill for 20 minutes I came to a conclusion, I'm screwed. As we sat there, the three of us, with our eyes crawling over the hill to look down it once more, we got up. One by one.
