Personal Narrative: Coloring Dora
Coloring Dora When I was about seven years old I was obsessed with Dora. I had, so many dos and toys dedicated to her. Normally, when I feel like coloring, I ask my parents for some crayons and paper. However, today I didn’t feel like using crayons or paper. Today, I wanted to use a marker. First, I sprinted to bathroom, grabbed my pink Dora step stool, and ran into the kitchen. I placed my step down in front of the marker drawer and hopped up. I opened the drawer, and pulled out a bright, red Sharpie. I pulled of the cap and tested the color on the back of my hand, perfect. Then I galloped to my room and shut the door behind me. I reached into my toy box and grabbed my favorite Dora doll. I thought that she would look great with red lipstick

    Okay, so I was in first grade. Lisa Frankel's first grade classroom, one of the biggest in the whole school. It had a single stall bathroom in it and one of those foam mats. You know the ones I’m talking about right? They’re made of this foam material and they’re shaped like puzzle pieces, so you can just buy them separately and put them together. They had a rug too, with the alphabet on it because first graders need help identifying letters or something [laughs uncomfortably] I don’t know. So yea, Lisa Frankel's class, she was pretty nice. Her teacher’s aide was an ass, but I’m getting to that. We’re little, and our handwriting is a disaster, so we’re practicing writing the number 8. Up until then the trick was to draw two connected circles,…

    In order to be effective, a leader must have an unwavering passion for their projects. I have found through my time with The Pink Bowz, the more excited I become about something, the more excited everyone else becomes. However, when a leader loses enthusiasm for what they are doing, they set a bad example for their peers. I have personally failed as a leader before because I developed apathy towards a project, and my teammates began to adopt the same attitude.…

    When I was younger I loved dolls; I loved playing pretend with them, dressing them up, and pretending that they were real. For my younger self to hear of a doll that not only could talk but could move her eyes on mouth on her own was mind blowing. I saw a lot of cheery commercials on television for a doll called Amazing Amanda. It was so cool; the doll even had the same name as me! When I ripped through the colorful Barbie wrapping paper Christmas day and saw that it was the Amazing Amanda doll I jumped around like a grasshopper and raced to go find batteries. I played with that doll everyday, singing songs with her loudly which probably sounded more like off-key screeching. It was incredible to me to watch her glassy, blue eyes blink and…

    After Big Sur and spending the night in Pacifica we went further north to San Francisco. When we spent the night in Pacifica our hotel was right near the ocean. It was such a beautiful view to wake up to. I just absolutely love the sound of the ocean. In San Francisco we went over the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a pretty cool thing to see with the views of San Francisco and the ocean. We then went to the park across from the Painted Ladies. The Painted Ladies are the houses that appear in the background of the opening of the original Full House series. It was an awesome thing to go see as I grew up watching Full House and will still watch it from time to time. Once we were done at the park we went to the San Francisco Giants stadium. Although…

    These past few years at Lionville Middle School have been some of the most memorable and exciting parts of my life. I came to Lionville Middle School from Shamona Creek Elementary. Shamona Creek elementary was much smaller than the gargantuan, new middle school. Also, there were so many more students and teachers. I expected the middle school to be filled to the brim with classrooms and I was correct. Some of my first memories here are quietly coming into the school and looking for my classroom. I did not even know where to go or how to get there. All around I saw kids getting to their classes right away, while I was stuck in the hallways. Fortunately, I saw a friend and followed him toward my new classroom. When I got my new locker, I had…

    As I undo the back of the button to place it on my grey Morris Harvey shirt I take more notice to the button. The button is blue around the outside with a white circle on the inside. In the white circle appears to be a heartbeat that goes from blue to yellow; the yellow part of the heartbeat represent WV. Bellow the heartbeat and entering into the blue is another yellow word reading resist. As I place the pin on my shirt and over my heart I begin to feel as if I am really part of a…

    I promised Stella I would get Ruby into a better place, but why does it matter, she just got here. Shouldn’t she have to die here just like all the rest of us. She's just a little elephant and with her, maybe we'll be able to get some visitors. If anyone should get out of here it's me, because I’ve been here the longest time not the little elephant Ruby. I feel that I’m better than everyone else and it even says it on the billboard, “Come see the one and only Ivan mighty silverback.” I haven't had people of my own kind in forever, yet she just had people of her own kind before she got here. So instead of keeping my promise to Stella I’m going to get myself into one of those zoos where I can have people of my own kind. Now what will I do to get myself into one of theses zoos? Will I use Ruby to help get me attention, or will I paint a picture of myself?…

    I always keep this poem and picture in my wallet. I take it everywhere with me because it means quite a lot to me in two very different ways. One of those ways is because it holds sentimental value. When I was younger I learned to read very late in life and I was always so embarrassed of that. My father knew that I was struggling and bought me the book, Where the Sidewalk Ends. It is a book full of poems and little pictures written by Shel Silverstein. I remember opening the book to ta random page, and it was the page with this poem. I then remember my dad asking me to read it to him. I was so uncomfortable, even thought I was just going to be reading to my dad. He gave me some words of encouragement, and even thought I was not able to read…

    I remember crying in my father’s lap, sobbing, saying I didn’t want to do it. The nurse came over to me and said Do you think you could you drink this for me? What is it? I asked. It's sugar water he replied. I drank it so fast not realizing how bad sugar and water could taste mixed together. The next thing I remember was a woman coming to my bed asking me about colors. She said I could pick three. I saw my two favorite colors neon pink and dark purple and I knew those were the ones. Those are the colors I’ll spend the next three months looking at as I am bound to a hospital bed with a metal bar between my legs. I was six years old.…

    My early literacy experience was not a big of a deal for me at an early age. When I was in school I always took a reading and writing course with a grain of salt, it was just one more class on my schedule. Literature did not really appeal to me in my early experience. I always think that why do I need to take a literature course in order for me to succeed in the future.…

    There were certain things I wanted to work on, after getting my grade for my Visual essay. I wanted to focus on staying on topic because that was one of the things that I struggled with and got points taken off because of that. I also wanted to work on my comma splices, and punctuation, which I usually struggle with and got points taken off. I also wanted to improve working on my tone, and the way I write or express myself while writing because sometimes, I get comments from the Writing Center, and from my professor. In my Rebuttal Essay, I think I did a very good job of staying on topic and worked on my context well. But I also struggled still with my comma splices, because I put all my focus on the content of the paper, and had little or…
