Nesanl Personal Narrative
As part of our school's community service program,I volunteered at a family with a down syndrome child. For two years, I went to help the Jablons every Thursday right after school.I helped out with a variety of things including homework, bathing the little ones, and physical therapy with Nesanel. Sometimes it seemed as though I was on the giving end, however I was really the receiver. I have learned so much from Nesanel. From his precious smile, his determination, and his love for others. Nesanel loves friends. He doesn't discriminate between people from different backrounds or color. Nesanel is truly special. Working with him and his siblings has given me a new outlook on

    Most teenagers do not have a clue about what they want to be when they grow up. Most young adults also do not know where their path is in life. Even some full-blown adults are still trying to figure out their purpose. I was lucky. I knew exactly where I belonged from about the time I was seven up until now, at the decently young age of nineteen. I do not see my path changing anytime soon; in fact, I know it will never change. But, I did not just wake up one day as a child and know what my path was, while that would be impressive. Defining moments in one’s life defines who they are. There were lots of things I experienced in my life that made me realize my purpose, my absolute passion. I had four of these defining moments in my short span of…

    It had been six years! Six years since my father had tricked my family into going into his perfect science experiment. My father was completely crazy, a maniac, once I realized it was only an experiment I was furious, outraged at what he had done to us. Forced us into some hole in the ground and locked it up telling us there was a nuclear fallout outside, and we wouldn't go back for fifteen years. My father is Rex Yanakakis, founder of YK Industries, maniac, and builder of my hell, he is extremely rich so he had plenty of money to build the compound. The compound was his attempt to survive a “nuclear fallout “ I later learned there was no fallout and everyone thought we were dead. We are not dead,…

    I worked directly with families and together we figured out goals for their child in the community and personally. I worked with many families and some were more motivated then others to help their child succeed. One family in particular had no motivation. They wanted so much from their son but would often find ways to avoid our plans to help their son succeed and the hours that were given to us by the state for me to work with him would flip flop every year. I was devastated but I refused to give up on him. I worked with him as often as I could so that I could see him succeed and one day we had a break through! Reflecting on these work experiences made me believe in Beatrice Wright’s principle that “every individual needs respect and encouragement; the presence of a disability, no matter how severe, does not alter these fundamental…

    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.…

    After retaking the LASSI I have noticed a considerable amount of improvement as well as regression. In the beginning of the year, I vowed to myself that I would become a better student. I wanted to maximize all of my abilities in order to be successful. So, after I took my first LASSI and had my talk with Mac, I began to implement new strategies meant to help me accomplish my goal. First I had to deal with my anxiety. In past years I suffered with a lot of anxiety while learning math. I used to love math very much, however, this changed after my 6th grade year. Math became a foreign subject to me. I could no longer make connections and solve problems. As a result, my grades in math began to drop. As a person who is used to getting A’s and B’s on assignments, I had a difficult time in coping with my failure since it didn’t live up to my standards in the subject of math. My difficulty with math eventually caused me to have anxiety. I had carried this anxiety until my sophomore year in high school. It seemed as if no matter how hard I tried to concentrate on math tests my mind would always become blank. Luckily I had an…
