Colorguard Personal Narrative
One of my most defining experiences to date has been my involvement with the colorguard squad at my school. The colorguard squad is an auxiliary unit that is part of the marching band. We perform with the band at Friday night football games during halftime while spinning flags and rifles to the music. To me, colorguard is so much more than that. Freshman year when I went to tryouts I was terrified. I did not have any friends trying out with me; I was walking into a gym full of older girls whom I had never met. To my surprise, being on the squad for the past three years has been such a defining achievement during high school for me. Without the squad I would have had a completely different experience in school. I learned the value of hard work

    Personal Narrative: My Yellow

    When I was younger, she was and is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I spent so much time with her. She was my great grandma. She was amazing and everyone who met her loved her. With her we went garage saleing; we also spent a lot of time camping, and I went to her house. I played with my cousins, and loved to be in the hot tub. On rainy days, we do crafts, or play board games inside. On every Christmas Eve we would all get together, and she would put together games, and crafts for us to do. We also told stories, and sing songs.…

    When I need to escape or to breath I like to visit the pond in my back yard. It is surrounded with tall grass up to my ankles and has a long rickety peer. When I was younger my grandfather would take me to the pond and we would sit there for hours and just connect with nature. My grandfather was a man of mystery he grew up without knowing his biological parents as he was adopted. When he was 18 he joined the Marines and was shipped off to Vietnam. While there he was in charge of the men and controlled the radio.…

    Personal Narrative: Libby Bridges

    One moment I had that I will never forget is when my friend Libby Bridges who is another teen in PFO, was sharing HER impactful moment to the leadership team. I was sitting there and listening to her talk about how she used to be afraid that she will never make an impact on the world. Libby is a person that I really look up to in PFO. She shows impeccable leadership skills and she has the kindest heart. To hear her talk about her fears and watching her be so vulnerable makes me start to cry. In this moment I realized how surrounded by love I was, and how grateful I was for the opportunity PFO has given me. PFO has given me the chance to make beautiful connections and bonds that I wouldn't trade for anything.…

    Personal Narrative: Under-Layer Of Blue

    It all started when I let a stylist cover my hair in 40 volume bleach. “Let” is the wrong word, I was 15, in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and essentially knew nothing. All i knew was that i wanted to be BLONDER—similar to what my hair looked like when I was about 4 years old. It had been the hay day of emo kids, and when my natural golden locks weren’t really doing anything to help my Myspace photos, I had decided to add red highlights, then chopped it, then blonde highlights with an under-layer of black. Now it was time for more. Needless to say, my catholic school wasn’t too happy about this, but I had already received the punishment of a year’s worth of lunch and recess at the principals office, so there wasn’t much more they could do.…

    Personal Narrative-Color Blind

    It was New Year's Eve, I was in sitting in my chair in the cryogenic lab where I worked. When all of a sudden the New Year’s clock hit one minute until the New Year came. It was the year nineteen-ninety-nine about to be two-thousand. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one Happy New Year, I blew my kazoo and the chair I was sitting in tipped over and I fell into an open cryogenic tube behind me, the door was shut and the timer was set for one-thousand years! I looked around desperately for an exit, but it was too late I was frozen. When I came to the door of the cryogenic tube opened and my desk had weird things on it that were not mine. They had this weird refrigerator magnet that said Moon Land Amusement Park. I thought to myself “ That’s odd” just then I see something zooms past the window, it looked like a flying car, but then I see the outside world it looked like I was on…

    Most Memorable Event Analysis

    The most memorable moment during my junior year was when I finally made the decision to apply for the military. I did not suddenly think about applying, in fact, it took me about a couple of months to go online on the United States Navy Reserve Officers' Training Corps website to click “Apply”. After reading all of the information about joining and listening to many stories from friends and veterans, I was passionate to commit myself to the program. Aside from my excitement, some of my friends and family were not too happy about it. Some of my friends hugged me tightly and cried for about an hour, a couple of them tried to persuade me not to join by giving me lectures about wars, and a few just said “no”…

    Personal Narrative: My Mask

    My mask is inspired by a deer, I really found the horns an intersting feature to work with including the focused look. On one right side of the mask I kept the look of the abstracted deer’s face, however on the other side I turned it more abstract wraping the deer’s horns around the top of my face to my chin. At first, I had a horn on the top left of my had but then i decided to disregard that as it was too animal like. As the iteration process continued I then progressed to change the other half of the mask into something simpler. I wanted to balance everything out by creating negetave space on one…

    High School Dance Team Report

    Being on my high school's dance team was the an experience that gave me life skills and lessons on things to do and what not to do. It was definitely not like the movies, we did not always come together at the end, and try to beat the other team in a dance battle. Yes, it got frustrating because we are trying to be one synchronized unit and would have to do thing multiple times, but that taught me to have patience. Dedicating 4 long years to this organization I also feel like I have learned to be a leader. Imagine spending over 20 hours a week with approximately 40 girls all trying to be “perfect” for a halftime performance. Friday night football games became the light at the end of tunnel that got me through long vigorous practices. There…

    Personal Narrative: My Different Masks

    When I was a student in high school I had a few friends that would gossip and spread rumors every day during lunch about certain kids at school. They would share the details about the scandal at the table and they would criticize them without pity. In other school settings, the critics would speak kindly to those they judged with an air of grace and elegance. Since I had witnessed their changing faces, I wondered if they had ever behaved the same way towards me. Although I was confused about the relationship I had with them, I soon realized that people?s personalities are not always set in stone. People adapt for each situation and they take on a different persona to be able to cope with the setting.…

    High School Personal Statement

    During my senior year of high school I decided to join the school's newspaper staff. I had no prior experience, but I was quick to volunteer and cover big local events. After a year of writing all genres (sports, opinions, news, features), I received my biggest accomplishment: first place in Sports Writing, in the West Virginia Journalism Competition. Without dedication and determination, I would have never been able to win that award. There were many times the work was difficult, but I realized how important my role was on the newspaper staff and made sure to never let down the staff (any time a member of the staff was missing from class, it made it difficult for the entire…

    Personal Narrative: Blue

    I have always been fond of the way the snow-covered trees stick out like sore thumbs against the blue sky during the frigid winter months. When I was seven, I would stand outside for hours swaddled in winter gear, just breathing out puffs of air that would appear in front of me. A buldgy jacket, mittens, a hat, and socks sticking out of my clunky boots. Everything I was wearing matched the blue sky, because god forbid I wore an outfit that didn’t go well together. I’m not sure what had initially caused this color to win me over, but it has stuck with me for as long as I can remember. When I would go to the dentist and she would ask me what color toothbrush I wanted, the answer was blue. When I turned eight and I went to the jewelry store with my grandma to pick out a ring for my birthday, I picked the blue one. She had told me that it would have been smarter to pick a more neutral color, like black or gray, because I would get more use out of it.…

    Living in a small town, there are not a lot of people that have made an impact on my life. In 2008, my mom told me that I should join paramedic explorers but I found fire explorers and thought it would be more interesting. A couple Mondays later, I got the hang of it and I was really happy. Being in this explorer post helped my grades and I met new people through my academies and musters. Musters are gatherings of Explorer post throughout Southern California. We do bucket brigades and much more activities with hoses and water. Being in Fire Explorers showed me integrity, dedication, and self sacrifice. Firefighters made an impact on my life and showed me what it takes to be a hero.…
