Personal Narrative: Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
*Change isto the world as aging is to humans, inevitable. As I look out of my window, I see all of the changes I could reverse,such as the loss of my favorite tree and the missing yard space where a pool now stands. As I look out of my window I could completely change the setting and move to my favorite place, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Although I could reverse all of these changes and ameliorate my life, these changes have made me who I am today, and they have given me my memories. Therefore, I would not reverse any of these changes.
*Throughout my childhood my yard possessed a tree, a wonderful oak tree filled with life and virtue. This tree capturing the eye with its beautiful and destructive properties. This symbol of life and nature constantly

    When I was in 7th grade I wrestled this guy named Bo Meikamp from Edwardsville. In 8th grade I wrestled him again and he beat me in the second period, and then he ended up placing 3rd at state our 8th grade year. Our next match was at the Edwardsville Freshman Duels and he beat me by points in the third period. Later my freshman year I wrestled Bo at the Conference Championships, and I put everything into that match, but I lost in overtime. I knew that I probably will wrestle him again during Regionals at the Jackie Joyner Kersee Center in East Saint Louis.…

    Did you know I recently moved from Tennessee to Nebraska? When I moved to Nebraska, everyone told me how flat Nebraska was, how it was full of fields. In my mind I was reminded of Tennessee with its family owned farms that could stretch for several acres. I realized that though Tennessee and Nebraska are hundreds of miles away they are very similar.…

    What inspired us to paint a tree is that when we are children we are protected by our parents and hometowns and in a sense shielded from the real world. This is so meaningful to me because I grew up in a small town with the same people my entire life. Now that I’m at college and meeting all kinds of new people and for the first time in my life I don’t have this shelter and constant protection over…

    Asking me to pick only one problem with Anderson Indiana is like asking an artist to pick only one problem with a painting he’s painted. Anderson exactly have a clean or dignified town. It’s actually quite dirty, dull and boring. There’s dogfighting cops, a prominent meth and heroin problem,and i know about 4 kids shot and killed just this year, the list goes on. Personally I don’t walk anywhere here because It’s so risky. Aside from all the downs our town is relatively aesthetically pleasing, we have quite a bit of wildlife although we’re so hectic. But the potholes,discarded trash and needles,and the amount of abandoned houses take it down a few levels.…

    While many people would probably choose to travel to another country, a foreign universe, or something even more extraordinary, there is no place I would rather go than Pawnee, Indiana, despite the fact that it doesn’t really exist. Having been a fan of the television show Parks and Recreation for quite some time now, I can confidently say that Pawnee would be the most exciting place one could go.…

    A certain childhood place always takes me back whenever I flip through my family’s dusty photograph books, and that place is an apartment area in which my family used to live in Arlington, VA. Honestly, I do not understand why this place is the first place to attest in my mind as beautiful. I doubt anyone could consider an apartment beautiful. What is more, I know there were times I despised the place; particularly, since I was the baby in my family, everyone left the apartment for either school or work, and I felt lonely. Nevertheless, perhaps, Arlington, VA was beautiful because I made it so in my mind.…

    I focus on Mr. Lambert who is dutifully going through the instructions. I feel sorry for him sometimes; a life of teenagers and Maths must really take its toll. He mentions the time limit and the structure of the exam, but I don’t really listen. I’m too busy staring off at a distant jet, flying high, glimmering in the summer sun. Mr. Lambert finishes and hands out the test paper. He reaffirms to everyone (first time for me) that we have 5 minutes reading time before a 2 hour test period. I know that these will be the last 2 hours of my innocent life and I know that it is already over.…

    Petersburg, West Virginia is a small town in the eastern panhandle with one stoplight and where everybody has some type of connection or recognition to everybody. I travel to this area at least three times annually for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and Independence Day. Petersburg is not a vacation spot my parents, sister, and I go to on the holidays, it is where my grandparents reside in their beautiful two story brick home they built. I have always enjoyed visiting my grandparents and the time spent together is special. The time spent with my grandma has been particularly special this past year. In September of 2014, my grandma, who I call Grammy, was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer after having a biopsy. Her journey so far has taught me to cherish the memories made and time spent with family.…

    I arrived tonight in Nashville at eight o’clock. The trip was the best one so far, it was an overall flat drive there besides going through the Ozark Mountains. I just got here and I already love it, you could hear the music playing as soon as you entered the town. I checked into the Clarion Hotel, in Downtown Nashville. I went out after I was settled in, there was an open mic night at the Nashville Symphony. Almost everybody that got up on the stage had a very southern accent, and all of the music was very country. It was an extreme difference from what I normally listen to back in Minnesota. The concert was so fun I forgot about the time and before I knew it it was already three in the morning. When I fell asleep in the hotel, I didn’t wake…
