Personal Narrative: The U. K.

Saturday was the day of the try outs and Chris was the only one who wasn't involved in a chat. First he tried out at the batting cages to hit. Every pitch the coach threw at Chris was hit right back at him. Chris knew his hitting was the second best of his skills, so he knew he could make the team if he was weak in the other skills. Then arrived to pitch, he struck out every guy that came up to bat for practice. Chris also felt he was the most accurate pitcher there so his hopes of making the team were still strong. However,his confidence broke down when he was fielding. Every bouncer that came at him just wired right past him. He felt so embarrassed, but when he arrived at pop flies he caught all of them he felt great. Chris was confident he would

I didn’t believe in aliens until I was abducted by them. I was put in some kind of contraption and I’m not sure what happened exactly, but it’s clear that I’m not where I was. Everything in 2016 is different, I don’t know if I’m in a different state or not but people are dressing differently and acting differently, and the cars, the cars are all different! I’ve been here for quite some time now and have noticed a lot of differences from where I lived in Oceanside, California in 1940. I’ve been transported to the year 2016 and there are so many things that have changed and evolved and among them are political, economic, social, and cultural changes.

The United States of America; this name strikes thoughts into people’s heads. Some are thoughts filled with happiness and pride, others are filled with hate. When I hear the phrase “The United States of America, I have many different thoughts. First, I think of the wonderful freedom paid for by the soldiers who risk their lives every day to keep us safe. I also remember my great-grandpa, who was a soldier in the Korean War, driving a tank. Second, I think about this election. This election has created big schism in our country with people at each other’s throats. Furthermore, there are many other events that have split our country. Some of these include opinions on gun laws, racial injustice, the fight for women's equality, etc. These issues

One summer my friend asked me if I would like to go to Puerto Rico with her and stay with her and her Grandmother. Of course Puerto Rico is somewhat like America because it is a territory, but it’s nothing like anything in the United states. The language, the people, and the culture are completely different from ours here in America.

the biggest struggle for Americans these days seems to stem from poverty, drugs, broken homes, rasicism/discrimination and so on. how lucky i am that i was raised in a loving, upper-middle class familyi’ve never had many friends. throughout elementary school, i’d spend every recess on the swingset because i didn’t want teachers seeing me wander alone and then make others kids play with me. their pity made me more uncomfortable than being alone. as time went on, things seemed to only get worse. middle school was horrible. i would come home everyday and just try not to cry. i’d never felt so alone in my life.

“Brazil is the largest country in both South America and the Latin American region. It is the world's fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population.” (Crocitti and Vallance).

(National Geographic ) They’re well known for their passion for Soccer, as they have produced some of the best players in the sport and hosted the Fifa world cup this past summer.

I have been a leading member of several clubs and teams throughout high school. At my previous high school, Casady, I was a leading member of the Multicultural Club. I presented the festivals and traditions of several cultures to my entire high school bimonthly, and organized bake sales and activities with the goal of increasing cultural awareness. I was also an avid debater at Casady, where debate was an offered class. However, policy debate was the only style of debate that students could learn about. In my freshman year, I was a policy debater, and I did very well in state competitions and at national tournaments, but I enjoyed the philosophical arguments much more than the political ones found commonly in policy debates. Therefore, I started a Lincoln-Douglas Debate team, which focused on philosophy throughout the eras. I

Post WWII in 1957 my great Grandad left their homeland of England to immigrate to Canada by plane which took 10 hours to fly from --------- to New York City. The ride was stressful and sickening, my Papa, Colin who was only _ remembers puking on the plane.

I have walked this path everyday for almost 15 years now since I was a young child. The path itself is next my childhood house in Doorest; the forest surrounding my house. I walk this path to clear my mind, it helps me separate from my stressful life outside this forest.

My initial perceptions about the students of St. Angela were very stereotypical. Honestly, I expected those students to come from single parent backgrounds and come from a low income household. I expected to deal with students who live life in a survival type of manner. What I mean by survival type of manner is for one to be on defense seeing the type of the children are from the Austin area. Walking in to St. Angela I expected to deal with kids that didn’t listen and know respect for authority. I expected this due to my upbringing in the same neighborhood.

First of all, Alejandro demonstrates teamwork. In his baseball team, they showed teamwork and ran those bases as a team. The same thing with soccer but without the bases. His

Soccer is one of the most popular sports to watch and play in the world, but many people do not have access to it. In Australia there is a soccer academy for young kids Called, “The Australian Soccer Club”.

The purpose of this public space
