Worthwhile-Personal Narrative

When I got my first job as a PT aide I met Tali, the woman who would become my mentor and confidant. She was tough as nails with bright red hair, a thick Israeli accent and arms that looked like they were sculpted out of clay. I'll admit, she was the most intimidating woman I had ever met, but she was also very sweet. I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into when I was assigned to her. She had such an unorthodox way of treating patients. It was completely bizarre but also absolutely brilliant.

As the evening fell, the dark blue night rose up across the sky. I laid under the stars in my back yard, as I do every night with my dog Mabel. Mabel was approaching her old ages but she was a great listener. Usually I tell her about my day or fairy tales, tonight I told her about my mom. My mother passed away in a car accident when I was only a baby, she was the most loving person I knew and I miss her everyday, and sometimes it helps to talk about her. As I lay talking curled up next to mabel I could feel my eyes getting heavier and heavier as the warm summer breeze brushed past my face.

Life never goes as goes as planned, at one second your life can change completely and flip upside down. You never know what’s going to happen next. You can’t plan to win the lottery or when you are going to be in a car accident. Life isn’t always fair and you get hit with the worst you could ever dream of. My worst fear is to get an injury. And that exactly happened to me. An injury can hold you back from a lot of stuff especially when you don’t want it to come the most.

So then I go, and find Mrs. Price and tell her, ¨The red sweater wasn't mine. I knew adults weren't right all the time.¨ So I yell at the top of my lungs to Mrs. Price, ¨YOU BELIEVE ALL THE STUDENTS AND YOU ALWAYS YELL AT ME, I WISH YOU NEVER TEACHED HERE, I JUST WANT TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE.” Then Mrs. Price tells me to go to the office. So I stomp my feet on the floor ,and go to the office. When I get into Mr. BobbyJoe’s office i talk to him and tell him what had happened. He says to me, “Now Rachel I know how you feel if I were you I would do the same thing. So what i want you to do is to go and tell Mrs. Price your sorry while I go and call your parents then come back.” So I go back to the class room and tell Mrs. Price that I was

I've been fairly busy as of late. Notably, yesterday was a pretty interesting day. I'm not exactly feeling well, think I'm coming down with something. How often is it that a Jedi contracts a cold? Just not feeling as spry, I think. My stomach is churning as I type, something is missing, think I might have to take a reprieve sooner rather than later. Maybe I'll be gone for a cycle, maybe I'll be gone for a year. I don't know. I just know that I need to focus on other things. That's not the point of this entry, however.

Virginia is a 53 year-old, heterosexual, African American female. Virginia has a long history of using crack cocaine. However, she has been clean of drugs for 6 months and for the past 1.5 months has been living in a residential recovery program group home. She has found a job as a dishwasher and desires to do the “right thing”. When asked to define the ‘right thing”, Virginia mentions to stay off drugs, stay off the streets, to stay clean, and save up money to move into her own apartment. Virginia did not complete the 11th grade. She mumbles when speaking and her speech is difficult to understand at times. When speaking to her, one often has to rephrase the question or revisit the question to get a more accurate response. Virginia enjoys

Determination is an intrigal part of my character, which helps me in reaching my goals. I always try to set clear targets so than nothing would get in my way. One of my short-term goals is to graduate from high school and be top ten percent in my class, that would make my parents and I very proud and to see what I worked for all four years of high school. This is my priority right now because this is the first off all my goals that guides my successful life.Therefore, another short-term goal that I have is to get scholarships, that way I will attend the college of my dreams with out having to worry about how would I pay. I set that goal to myself because I have a high GPA and my teachers motivated me and told me to go for it, and so that’s

As time seemed to slow down around me, I saw things I never thought I’d see. Because of our speed, I saw how the tail end of our car would swing out far enough to hit the small hatchback, injuring the mother and teenager in the front seats. I also saw the bullet fired from the NYPD police cruiser behind us, the glass from the passenger window seemingly floating in mid-air, as it just barely missed my lifelong “friend.” But as time around me slowed, I did the worst thing possible; I thought.

What matters to me is giving back. Ever since I experienced hospitalization due to an eating disorder, I felt a sense of responsibility to reciprocate the care I was given. And so I decided to volunteer at my local hospital, Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, as a means of giving back to those who helped me on the road to success.

Let me start this story off with a question. Have you ever entered a room with some undoubtful reason, then completely forget why you are there in the first place? There's more to it, and I think I might have cracked the code with an explanation like no other, proven by the human eye itself. Have you ever felt an itch on your body, as if something was crawling under your skin, but find nothing after searching? Well, I am starting to figure it out, last question. Have you ever became extremely disoriented and felt as if the entire world was slipping beneath your feet? Well, enough with the questions, lets get started with the story itself.

The overstretched fake smiles and false enthusiasm futilely hid the jittered look held within during my first major audition. Six months of hard work and preparation was overpowered by stress coming in the form of sweat and unnecessary bathroom breaks. Ashamed and terrified of performing as a soloist, the metal strings shrieked during the audition in front of the white tarp hiding the judgement that I feared. The truth was a bittersweet reality that I brought home as a trophy while the event laughed at my incompetence as a cellist.

Certainly the past several months hasn't been easy on you either and surely has to have taken its toll on you mentally as well as your health. And for that I sincerely apologize for any and all undo stress you've experienced.

It was a good day, Hope and I met many a wonderful patrons together this weekend. I need to find a way for her to meet people without me.

I volunteered on Tuesday, November 17 for 5 hours at the Arthritis Foundation in Tampa. I invited one of my friends, Ana, to volunteer with me. Our main task consisted on calling different massage companies to book appointments for people suffering arthritis. First, Candice, the Stakeholder Relations Coordinator for the Florida Region, gave us the list of the people who had previously filled out a form saying that they would like a massage. The form was filled out at the Walk for Arthritis event. These people haven’t had the opportunity to book the massages because some of them didn’t know who to call, didn’t have money or because they didn’t speak English. Therefore, we had to call each person to see if they were still interested (about 20 people).

characteristics have shaped me into the person I am today. When I am determining to pursue
