Personal Narrative: A Walk To Food Lion
When I was walking into Food Lion to grab an item, I noticed an elderly woman struggling with trying to get her items to the car. At first I thought to myself how no one has helped her yet and then thought again that I should have already been there to help. My roommate noticed I ran off and she followed right behind. I then proceeded to ask the woman if she would like any sort of assistance with her groceries, the woman shook her head and said yes. This made me ecstatic that I could help and I was thrilled my roommate came over to help out as well. After we help we walked in and it made me want to go help other people with their groceries.
The elderly woman thank us so much for our help and there was a great amount of happiness in her eye.

    This past year I saved enough money to purchase my first livestock trailer. It is a bumper hitch trailer that can carry up to four beef animals. It is by no means fancy or new, but it works great when taking animals to county fairs, clinics, vet appointments, and other events. When traveling longer distances I have to support of many other beef producers if I choose not to use my own trailer (Not that my trailer could not transport long distance). This network of generous producers has helped me take calves to the Iowa State Fair, Stock Show University, and field days using their gooseneck trailers. My FFA chapter also owns its own livestock trailer that I have used.…

    Alberto Alvaro Ríos’ short story The Secret Lion, captures the spirit of a coming-of-age story between childhood and adolescence through the eyes of two boys, presumably from a lower-class Latino background.

    As a Chinese-American, my family expected me to help out at the restaurant while maintaining straight A's in school. But, it wasn't easy; every day, I would report to the restaurant after school and immediately start working. Inside the kitchen, I would pack all the orders into aluminum containers, place them into a brown bag, and insert packets of sauces and utensils. Burns and cuts were common due to the terrible and tearable aluminum containers. Outside at the front desk, I would answer the seemingly endless ringing phones. In many instances, customers had to wait either on the phone or at the front desk for me to find their orders on the computer, even after they showed me where it was on the menu. During lunch hours, the pressure was even…

    A hill of aspens, glowing golden, shines on the right side of the trail while the left side is a pine-covered hill. Between the two is the trail, a magical escape from reality. This is my sanctuary of Buffalo Peaks wilderness. The trying experience of hiking through the mountains with 40 pounds on your back, the straps of your pack rubbing the skin off your hips and shoulders. The tension building in your muscles as you struggle under the weight. The pain that can only be diluted by a yoga session and a trip to the hot springs. Sun salutations in a lush, meadow valley. Warrior one and reverse warrior in the heat of the sun, relaxing from the miles we traveled just the day before.…

    I let my right arm hang loose to cover it with the magnesium powder I carry with me. I draw a shaky breath and look up to the top of the invigorating boulder. The cheering of my friends from beneath reduces to ruis in the back of my mind. I concentrate on the remaining two meters I need to distance, tighten every muscle in my body and make the last pass easily. I sigh of relief escapes my mouth. I made it.…
