Personal Narrative: My Haircut
When I was in second grade my grandmother asked the hairdresser to cut my long blonde hair to my shoulders. I was unaware of this conversation until after the woman had already begun cutting my hair. When I got home with my newly cut hair I went straight up to my room and called my dad hysterically crying, telling him about how grandma was a monster and had all my hair cut off. His initial consoling, telling me how he was sure that it looked fabulous and that we could find great ways to style my new hair did not work. He asked me then if I thought that grandmas heart was in the right place. Of course not I thought why would she ever want to go behind my back to have my haircut. Thinking back now, I remember my hair before this haircut. I did

    Personal background starts off small, it changes and grows over time into something big, it grows into an identity. Walking down the hallway at school, seeing someone standing alone, my first instinct is to make conversation, compliment, or even just smile at him or her. This instinct came from someone once telling me an act so small could turn a person's entire life around. As a kid, reading encyclopedias about random topics, consumed my time. Many days were spent coming home to find an injured wild animal in my dad's arms waiting to be saved. My dad would sit outside and draw animals, trees, and anything else he saw. Nothing excited me more than trying to draw whatever my dad drew, and as good as he did. Any assignment that was handed to…

Anyway I just never really enjoyed doing everything everyone else loved doing.

    My obsession began in the sixth grade where i found myself fascinated with doing hair and the products and the foods that could improve your hair and skin and I wanted to learn more. By my freshman year in high school, I already knew what I wanted to focus on: cosmetology. My first cosmetology competition was Skills USA. I was chosen to compete in the 90 degree hair cut event. Once I arrived at the school for the competition, I noticed all types of different academies; academies from construction to culinary. I walked into the cosmetology room where my competition was being held. I began to set up my station, shampooing my manikin’s hair and pulling out my shears and razor blade. As the 40 minute timer started, I reached for my razor blade…

    Ever since I was a baby my mum always either braided my hair or put it in a ponytail. At the age of 7 my parents started me in swimming classes. I always wore a swim cap but the water still got under my cap. If my hair wasn't braided my mum would have to shampoo and deep condition my hair when we got home. In 6th grade my mum relaxed my hair and soon regretted it. Since I am very athletic my hair was even harder to upkeep than before, so I decided to stop relaxing it and grow my hair out, causing it to break off. In 7th grade I was able to take part in school sports. I participated in track and field, wrestling, and soccer, whilst still swimming in the summer. Sweat, dirt, rain, heat, humidity and the list goes on. I was constantly worried…

    I am of Chinese descent and one of the biggest parts of being Chinese is food. Food in China is diverse and unique from region to region. As a result, one’s cooking will often reflect one’s identity. As I learn to cook, I have to choose. Will I favor the Szechuan style, hot, spicy, yet heart-warming? Perhaps I’ll favor the sweet Shanghai style, more delicate, yet more refined. Or, I may go with my parent’s Shandong Style, rich, powerful, and familiar to me. As I learn to cook, I will refine my identity through the dishes I…

    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.…

    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.…
