Personal Narrative-H Is For Hammock
H is for Hammock "Your father and I are leaving to go shopping in Wichita. Please stay out of trouble, and don't make a mess." Said my mom on her way out the door. I heard the car start, as it pulled out of the driveway and out of site. Normally when my parents go shopping and don't take my sisters and I with them, that means they are buying things for us. I couldn't wait for them to get home, and see what they got us.

Hours past and the sound of the garage door opened. I flipped off the tv and ran to greet them at the door. They walked in with bags and boxes of all sorts. Finally, when I thought they had to be done, my dad walked in with a huge cardboard box in his arms.

"What is that?" I asked, eager to know. My dad just smiled, and

    Personal Narrative: Moving Away

    It came closer and closer to that day when my brother had to move but, it wasn't quite there. When I casually passed his room all I saw was boxes of basically trophies and basketball gear. My brother came up behind me and said, "What are you doing up here I thought you were carrying boxes out?" "Well, I wanted to see what was going on in there! Seems as if you're mad at me." I replied with a…

    People Watching Observation

    Nothing particular stuck out at me at first, I gazed around, from table to table, and only noticed the general routines you would expect to find at any mall food court. Employee’s meeting on their lunch breaks, stay at home mom’s getting a quick bite at chik-fil-a as they drag their children along to the next errand, and the elderly in no hurry to get anywhere specific. It was the same mundane routine through the course of the first hour, it only being four in the afternoon, many kids were still in school, and adults at work. The mall was close to barren as a few moms strolled around leisurely, baby’s at hip, or teetering along side of them. Many of these moms were white, caucasions, displaying their obvious means of wealth in the jewlrey that they wore, and the handbags they carried. Two mothers sat infront of me as I observed the food court, while casually picking at their grilled chicken salads in front of them, and their children ran wild in the play place that was within eye sight. They didn’t speak to anyone who passed by, nor did they bother themselves with helping another lady who was in an clear pannick after finding out that her son was no longer by her side and had ventured off sometime when she was ordering lunch. They kept to themselves, immersed in their own gossip, only rising to coo their children after having a wipe out on the kiddy slide.…

    Cayden's 'Empty': A Short Story

    Cayden was excited to see her friend. She loved the drive to Charleston, with the lush green trees and the warm scent in the air. All of a sudden,Cayden’s car shuddered, like one does when cold. Cayden thought this was odd, as her car was brand new. Her car shuddered again, as she passed the sign that said, “Gas Next 40 Miles.” Her eyes flashed to the screen in her car which read, “Empty.” She thought of her mother saying, “Don’t forget to stop for gas before your head out.” Cayden’s car came to a rolling stop.…

    Cognitive Impairment Screening in Senior Citizens Must Be Practice

    Judy just wanted some sugar for her coffee. She flitted back and forth between cabinets and drawers, leaving them open as she went along busily searching for that sugar. “Where could it have possibly gone?” she half mumbled to herself, “I just used it the other day.” As she reached behind the box of cornstarch, the honey container tipped over and started oozing onto the counter that was already cluttered with piles of unopened mail, a plate with a half eaten, moldy sandwich, and a variety of orange and white medicine bottles. Distracted by the sound of the door bell ringing, Judy went to answer the door. Her daughter flew in, irritation in her voice, “Mom. Aren’t you ready yet? I’ve been calling you.”…

    Personal Narrative: The Hyphy Movement

    As a Bay Area resident for all my life, chapter 5 from Victor Rios’ Punished resonates with me a lot. I often praise the charter school that I went to because of the academic success I gained from it. However, the ninth grade was a time when I noticed a lot of students of minority ethnic backgrounds struggling with school enforcement. My high school did not have school resource officers (SROs), but there was a dean and vice principal who acted as that authority. This was because it was a small school; the graduating class consisted of one-hundred students. I believe that it was mainly African Americans or Latinos, as these racial backgrounds formed a majority of the school, who were caught up in trying to resist against what they perceived…

    Beth and Carole, the two younger sisters were up early, happy as a couple of larks, as they giggled and chattered over breakfast, anticipating the “day of glory and excitement” in the big city mall. Joey, on the other hand, was not that enthusiastic. He wanted to stay home and ride his bicycle, throw rocks in the pond, or do anything but go shopping. He finally agreed to go, however, after his father gave him a talking to. It seemed for ever, but thirty minutes later, mom, Carole, Beth and Joey were in the big town, entering the huge shopping mall.…

    “No,” she replied, with concern in her voice. At that moment, I felt as if my whole world had crumbled. Had my brother gotten lost? Was I foolish enough to assume that he found his way back to my parents? Alarmed by the situation, my mom scolded me for losing sight of him. We began looking through the crowds hoping he would appear. I stood still for a moment, trying to wrap my head around the worrisome circumstances. Time became more valuable. “Find your brother!” yelled my mom in an aggressive yet desperate tone. All hope was not yet lost.…
