Personal Narrative: The Year 2016
It seems like around the year 2010, was the last time I remember our country being the place us millennials had come to know, understand, and love as the land of the free. The place that banded together when such tragedies like 9/11 had struck our country and our people without notice. It seemed like one of the only countries where racist, misogynistic, and homophobic rhetoric was just not spewed. And if it ever was, that person would be condemned for spewing it. But as I said, that feeling was felt around the year 2010. Six long years have gone by since then, and I definitely think it is safe to say that that feeling I spoke of before is long gone from many Americans today as 2016 is wrapping up. Being that 2016 was an election year for us,

    Learning from mistakes is a key part of life. I myself have had to learn from my mistakes. Over the summer I cut my foot outside. I spent the whole night in the worst hospital, then I got 18 stitches in the bottom of my foot. It also set back my ability to play football. My mistake was going outside without shoes, now I wear my shoes all the time.…

    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…

    The Civil War Isn T Over Analysis

    Though we have become better, racism is an issue we still come across today. Something that was meant to mend the conflict ended up backfiring strongly, but we have come a long way since then. As each new generation grows up, they begin to filter out the bad memories of the war. Today, we have a president that is black, we have the same opportunity for education, and the same rights. The people had suffered because of our ignorence to focus more on reuniting the states rather than giving justice to the people. At a glance, out nation has grown warmer since it's inception as a free nation. Although freedem is not a destination, but a journey, the journey during those dark times made freedom barley a concept. We reflect highly on those who fought for equality, but still it seems as though the war is not yet…

    Monologue On Sderot

    When did we become heartless to the people that we call "them", to the people that are different from us and even to our own people? When did we start hating each other, blaming one another for all the wrongs that are happening in this country? When did we stop taking responsibility upon ourselves, our actions, our society, our country and our people?…

    Walking into the locker room about to get ready to go to our last football game of the season. I could smell the sweaty equipment from the kids who never take their pads home. The Hempfield Spartans 7th grade team would be ending their season 0-7 if we didn’t win today. As I was changing into my pads my friend mike walked in the room. I said “you ready for tonight”. “Heck yeah” replied Mike.…

    Personal Narrative: The Key

    In chapter 12, the key event to me was when Claudia and Finn talked to each other through the keys. I felt many emotions when reading their interaction one of them being happy. I felt happy when they talked to each other because it was a turning point in the story in my opinion. I also felt surprised because at first, I thought by having two keys, there would be a lock that would need both keys to hear and speak to each other. I also felt confused by the way they conversed; How could they now hear each other but not before. I think by having one key being touched, the other key can hear because on page 153 Claudia says she breathed and rubbed on the key making it warm and on page 154 Finn says when he touches the key it's warm.I like the way the author wrote the scene from both perspectives, it gave us the readers a clearer understanding of how both Finn and Claudia felt. I also like how the author described the way both keys affect each other and have a "key" connection.…

    Personal Narrative: A Positive Influence In My Life

    My mother, “Regina Hopkins,” has been a positive influence in my life. She has raised 6 kids all by herself as well as earned a Bachelor’s degree in nursing from a City College in Gainesville, Florida. My mother has been through pretty much everything a person can go through outside of war and was still able to be there and provide for all 6 of her kids. In high school, my mother wanted to play football and couldn't because she was a girl and back-in-the-day women were not allowed to play football with the guys. However, she remained strong by raising 6 kids and independently took care of all of us on her own. My mother has several qualities that I would love to develop. The first quality she has is balance; she certainly knows how to make…

    I wake up in my bed in my Yugioh bed comforter which over night I managed to completely roll into a ball and I was on it with several other blankets on me. Soon right after this, I suddenly get a burst of energy remembering that my mom said that the kids were coming over to spend the night today.

I waited on this couch for what seemed like hours but in, reality was only like 30 minutes. Soon my mom went out of her bedroom to get some coffee, of course I berated…

    Personal Narrative: The New America

    The fake grass was deeply green like usual, the sun continued to shine like it did everyday till 7 o’clock sharp, and as everyone wore their dull white shirts, I thought to myself “why did our society end up so euphoric?” Was I the only one who thought about the world before “The great crisis” or did someone else think the same way as me? It was 5080 and “the great crisis” happened about 300 years ago way before I was born, no one ever speaked of the old America, because it was considered a crime to think of such evil. But tomorrow was every girl in the 10th grades birthday, we were all turning 15, this meant that 10 out of the 43 girls would be picked as interns to the woman elders who society called the wise women.

    Essay On Inequalities In America

    September 11, 2001, two planes crash into the World Trade Center Towers in New York City, New York killing over 2000 people and injured over 8000 fast forward 16 years to October 1, 2017, a sniper opened fire on a concert in Las Vegas, Nevada killing 59 people and injuring over 500. These events make it seem as though our beloved United States is on the path to darkness but I strongly disagree with that. America will become a better place for all people no matter what gender, race or sexuality America as a nation will evolve and become a safe haven for those who don’t have freedom. Even though there are race and terrorist attacks, the people of America will one day accept all no matter the race, gender or sexuality because we must realize that if we don’t there will no longer be the United States.…

    Personal Narrative: The Two SMART Goals

    Finally the two SMART goals that I have created to help develop my leadership skills further will challenge me to be a better leader immediately. Self-confidence and the ability to delegate without feeling an immense amount of stress will very quickly impact my professional growth. Although these are two identified areas that I want to develop further, they are also two areas that I can begin to see changes in immediately. By simply reminding myself of my principles and staying positive I will exude more self-confidence and that is something that is seen by others immediately. When I take the time to empower others to do the delegated tasks instead of stress about the completion, the employee sees that I have faith and trust in their ability…
