Personal Narrative: Forrest Gump
There is a line from a great movie, Forrest Gump, that many who watch, never forget. "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.” I am pretty much positive when I say that this is how my mom felt 17 years ago when the doctor told her she was having twins. My life has been a series of matching clothes, the same hairstyle and the words “I will have what she is having.” Despite basically being a carbon copy, being a twin is one of the best things life has given me.

For anyone questioning if twins can feel each other's pain, I can assure you this happens very frequently with us. I have been to emergency rooms more times than I can count and I was always the one knocking over the drinks at dinner. But from

    Personal Narrative: The Person I Am Today

    Throughout my life I have encountered many circumstances that have shaped me into the person I am today. I was born in Moroleon, Guanajuato, Mexico. I attended school in Mexico all the way to second grade. In the summer of 2006 I moved to Cumming, Georgia. It was the hardest thing to do because I left everything that I care the most about. We lived in a trailer which was not the nicest place and in the middle of the forest. I started school at the beginning of August. I had always loved school so I was so excited for the first day. I knew it was going to be hard because I would have to conquer so many obstacles on the way. At this time the only English I knew was probably counting from one to ten and some of the colors. My Father knew some…

    Explain Why It Would Be Fun To Have A Twin

    It would be fun to have a twin. If I had a twin we would dress up as creepy dolls and scare people. Scaring people would be fun. Just imagine two creepy life size dolls chasing after you down a street. Creepy, right? Another reason I want a is to tell secrets to her. We look the same so it is like trusting yourself. We would also trick our parents by saying “I’m the other twin”, because then they would be confused. The last reason I would want a twin is so we could see how outfits looked like us. It would be like looking in a real life mirror. Being a twin would be fun. Do you think so?…

    Personal Narrative: The Trail

    The trail out back the beauty of nature and the smell of the fresh air. The leaves they’re falling all around you. As you walk the trail leads you to a big waterfall that not many people know about. As you just sit on the rock and watch the leaves fall while the sun sets it’s the most beautiful thing you could ever see. Listening to the birds make their music while lying on the rock besides the water. It’s calm and relaxing; However it can get a bit chilly. Sometimes if you take the four wheeler or dirt bike out back Zoey will run along side of you. Zoey is our dog she runs just as fast as the four wheeler does. Then I imagine of being a little girl again going out back with my dad. We used to catch salamanders on our way to where we were going.…

    Twin Studies

    The study of twins is still a relatively knew thing that started in 1870s by Francis Galton. He wrote and believed that nature has a bigger influence on a person rather than nurture and based his belief in cases of twins. He also guessed that identical twins must come from one single fertilized egg while non-identical must be from two separate ones. His guess was confirmed with further studies in 1883 but Galton himself had no evidence to support his idea.…

    Personal Narrative

    As I was writing my personal narrative for my composition 1 class, it easily made my mind boggle. After I had got started on my personal narrative, it was easy for me to keep writing and keep following along the story line. The main strength of mine that the essay played to was my creativity and my flexibility for different writings, because I have never written an essay as serious and sad as this one, but I did have to add my happy ending when I finished the story. I wanted it to be very attention grabbing with a twist, but I also wanted it to be very emotional.…

    Personal Narrative

    Yet another Thanksgiving, and I was stuck in my uncle’s basement watching the Redskins face off the Dallas Cowboys. Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, and various other famous athletes all grinned at me from their respective Wheaties boxes, seemingly mocking my pain. My uncle collected them and, for some reason, had decided the bright orange boxes would be a great decorative addition to the basement wall behind the television. I remember once, when I was younger, I was searching for a movie to watch and I accidentally brushed against a limited edition Michael Jordan box. The box began to teeter, and I immediately knew that I was doomed. All the boxes began to fall like dominos to the floor. My uncle, needless to say, was furious. Thus, it was seemingly fitting that the offended boxes, now realigned on the wall, would have the privilege to witness my torture by football.…

    Starting from a place I remembered as a teen, moving from a place that was warm to a place that had all four seasons; such as winter, spring, summer and fall. The First place that I grew up was surrounded by mountains. During the winter it was full of white snow, something that I was never used to seeing coming from California where all one would see was sandy beaches and the waves clasping one another. As I remember being so new to Park City, UT all I could see was the wonderful views of trees, mountains and people skiing or snowboarding. I have to say this was a fond memory because for the firs time I was actually able to experience the feeling of what winter was…

    Together For Life

    Abby and Brittany Hensel are conjoined, or dicephalus, twins. Not expected to live much past birth, these twins as of 2012 have graduated college, gotten drivers’ licenses and traveled overseas. They have separate heads but their bodies are joined at the pelvis. Several of their vital organs are doubled, but they have their own heart, stomach, spine, and spinal cord. Each twin controls her half of their body. Abby controls the right and Brittany the left. Interestingly neither can feel the opposite side of their bodies. With that being said, their ability to do things in such symmetry is absolutely amazing. They are able to swim, ride a bike, play a piano, type without hesitating or playing catch up on thoughts, drive a car, etc. And although each has their own brain, in watching them speak, you observe that they continuously finish each others’ sentences.…
