Narrative Essay -- The Birth of my Daugher

Topics: Love, Debut albums, In My Eyes Pages: 3 (1185 words) Published: November 26, 2012
It was day like any other day, one that revolved around me and my wants and needs, but all that was about to change. The sun was shining through my bedroom window of the small two bedroom apartment that was shared between me and my roommate. The day was a nice enough day for all to enjoy. With temperatures in the 80's and not a cloud in the beautiful Carolina blue sky, who wouldn't want to enjoy a day like that? Not me. Not when I was nine months pregnant, with only seven days till doom's day and whale (yep, spelled it that way on purpose) past the 25-35 pounds suggest by my doctor that I should gain. I was sick from not being able to stomach even the thought of food, which was unusual for me and was starting to have some pains in my abdomen but had brushed it off, thinking it was due to the nausea. It didn't take long to realize that the baby I was carrying was ready to meet me when the back pains started to become regular and more intense.

As I laid on the beautifully crafted gold and burgundy comforter that was spread over my bed, I started to fell pressure in my lower back. It was as if someone was taking dull knives and running them deep in to my muscles along the top of my tailbone. There was no doubting the fact that my labor had started when I got up and noticed that same elegant comforter was now forever stained. My water had broke causing the pains to bring me to my knees.With tears in my eyes, I was ready for some relief from the pain and wanted to get to the hospital in order to get an epideral(wonderful things that make you numb from the waist down). It didn't take long to get to the hospital, especially since the ride was in an ambulance. Thanks to my roommate who dialed 911 in a moment of panic; hers' not mine, she deemed it necessary to dail 911 and request assistance. If that is what you would call a request, screaming at the top of your lungs at the 911 dispatcher.

  • My Fear-Narrative Essay

    ...The Fear I Will Overcome I have this fear. It causes my knees to shake. I break out in a cold sweat. My heart starts to beat at 100 miles per hour and I get light headed. I am crying inside but try to act strong around people who think that I am the toughest one there. The thoughts of certain death run through my mind as I imagine my own funeral. My stomach feels strange. My palms are clammy. I am terrified of heights. Of course, it is not really a fear of being in a high place. It is the view of a long way to fall, rocks far below me and not having anything around me to hold on to. The scary heights of rides is one example of my fear concidering the first time i went on one of the fastest and tallest roller coasters. It was a hot summer day in 2010.

    ...Brookey Rickman Eliza Klinger Extended Writing 6 September 1014 My Waddling Experience Have you ever heard of waddling? Most likely not, because it’s a made-up expression that combines walking and paddling together.Though walking was not really what was going on, it was hiking, and at its finest. Some would call it bush wacking, meaning there was not a paved trail to follow. Now why would someone venture to an unpaved, unsafe destination? My answer was for the challenge. Others might have different answers, but I liked mine. The trip started with the girls group being dropped off at toxaway gorge and hiking through it to get to lake Jocassee. At the same time we were hiking, the boys group was dropped off at Lake Jocassee and then paddled in canoes to reach the Foothills campground. Once we were able to meet at the campground, we switched and the boys hiked up the gorge and then we paddled back through the lake. Camp Kahdalea has been my home for five weeks of my summer for the past eight years. This particular waddling trip included eight girl campers (ages 15-17), two counselors, and Mr. Dave Trufant. Mr. Dave is the owner of the outdoorsy summer sleepaway camps Kahdalea & Chosatonga, a very busy man. He doesn't normally go on any trips with the campers, because thats why they have counselors, but this trip was special. It was intense. The trip entailed four days and three nights. Each person carried a...

I will help you find the help that you need.” “Nicole, you just don’t get it. Once those thoughts get into your head it’s very hard to push them out and ignore them. And that’s why I came to you because I can’t do this on my own and I needed to tell someone because I know I can trust you.” I replied. I had just spilled this long story of how I couldn’t keep living life with my eating disorder and if I didn’t get help, this disease would probably end up killing me.

    ...Upon finishing my first cup of coffee, my son pulls in the driveway and enters the house with the words, "MOM I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING." With heart wrenching thoughts, I sat back in my chair to prepare myself. Never once thinking of the rumors, which had orders coming to activate and deploy the 39TH Infantry Brigade, of the Arkansas National guard, for a 2ND tour of duty in Iraq. I guess I had just blocked this out especially since; My American Soldier's enlisted time would be up October 1, 2008. As he took a deep breath, I could not believe my ears. He said, "We've received Title 10 orders (Federal Activation & Deployment) as of October 1, 2008, and before you say anything I've re-enlisted for another 6-year term." Upon these words, I totally fell apart and I mean literally. The tears flowed with no end in site, being able to breathe was questionable, with intake right before passing out. Screaming I exclaimed, "I CAN'T GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN!" I was out in left field, thinking before speaking was no in question. Looking back now, realizing complete selfishness, one should feel ashamed. Why should I be ashamed? He has already done his duty. Deciding to take control and put an end to the nervous breakdown at hand, Bo says, "GET A GRIP. Been there and done that. Besides, I cannot ask my boys to do something I would not do myself.

    ...Tom’s Lament. Old Tom limped down the street in the warm rain. He was heading for the bar on the corner of Henderson Boulevard where he regularly went for an ice cold brew on hot summer afternoons. Come to think of it, he didn’t so much drink his beer, as sit in the corner nursing the same glass for hours at a time watching those perfectly round chilled droplets hit the mahogany countertop. A young sporting type, who looked remarkably similar to his youngest boy, approached him and offered him a drink but Tom just shook his fist and discretely muttered a few curses under his breath. He spoke to no-one, and after a while rose slowly from his chair and hobbled slowly towards the door. The rain had not stopped, and rivers of water were coursing down the road. On the way home his neighbour stopped his truck and offered the old man a ride home but Tom shook his head and shouted out some obscenity. He could not tolerate any hint of pity. The only thing he had left after a lifetime slaving day after day at the docks was his pride. He would never accept anything from anyone, and he could manage on his own now, as he always had always managed before. As he continued his March towards his apartment as his back ached heavily and his old injured leg was so stiff that he had to frequently stop and attempt to rub some life back into it. Nurse Williams came out of the old folks’ day centre as he passed the gate and invited him in, with promises of sweet cherry pie, a warm drink...
