    Personal Narrative: Kristine's Survivors

    Screams of excruciating pain interrupted my slumber. Springing up from my sleeping bag, I looked in the direction where I heard the continued sounds of agony, broken bones, and ripping flesh. Quickly scanning the gym with my eyes, I saw that five of Kristine’s survivors became runners. In the bleachers, three of runners dugged their teeths into the survivor’s necks, faces, shoulders, who were lying peacefully and unexpected in their sleeping bags. In the middle of the gym’s basketball court, two more runners’ yanked meat and muscles from survivor’s faces, as the survivors attempted to fight back, however their attempts were useless, the runner’s strength over powered theirs. As one runner, in the middle of the gym, swallowed a survivor’s nose,…

I was born 1928 in Teschenmoschel for most of my life which is a small village near Kaiserslautern, Germany. My family were farmers that lived in a small village of about 200 people. The village had a very small Jewish community… It used to be bigger, but over time people either had left or died. From what I remember I had a normal, happy childhood with my parents and sister. I remeber my family and I would be hay-making in the summer and tobogganing in the winter. My family always stuck to the Jewish traditions. Man, Those were the goodtimes. I also remembers a time that wasn’t all that good, which…

    Personal Narrative: Myra's Adoption

    If I could have one do-over in life, I would relive my sister Myra's adoption day. The adoption took place about nine years ago, when Myra and I were both five. I remember feeling extremely petulant because I was wearing a dress. I cannot blame my younger self for my actions because I didn't truly know what I was doing, but I as I look back on that day, I feel a twinge of regret, due to a typical child reaction. The pictures that were taken show my sisters, smiling and excited, and me, looking sulky and bad-tempered; in essence, I was being a brat. I regret my behavior because I'm afraid that Myra might have believed that my attitude was because I didn't want to be her sister, and that was most certainly not the case. I was having a selfish…

    Comanche Research Paper

    A few months ago, my dad started using ancestry.com to further his genealogical knowledge. Initially, I did not think that it would lead him anywhere, seeing as he knows nothing about his family; but sure enough, he found a plethora of information. He found information about his mother’s side and information about his father’s, including the biography of Quanah Parker, the last chief of the free Comanche people. When my dad started telling me the story of Quanah Parker, I suddenly got very interested in my Native American background. How often does someone come across such a puzzling and unusual aspect of his/her background? I always thought that I was just half-Korean and half-White, but learning that I am also Native American really got my gears turning as far as learning more about my ancestral background.…

    Multicultural Issues in the Helping Profession

    It is interesting to look at the past to see how interracial relationships have merged. John Rolfe and Pocahontas’ intermarriage in 1614 was the first to be recorded in North American history. Between 1614 and 1660, America’s first biracial children were born in colonial Jamestown, Virginia to intermarriages such as white-black, white-Indian, and black-Indian. The total number of biracial people in America by 1775 was between 60,000 and 120,000 (Cruz & Berson, 2001).…

    Native American Autobiography

    Even though you might talk briefly with some of your peers before, during, and after class you really don't get to know them. Having the opportunity to create an autobiography which will be later shared with a peer in your classroom might be intimidating, but I remember that I am also reading someone's else autobiography and maybe she/he might feel intimidating for sharing a personal story with a total stranger. Deanna told me her autobiography in which I later wrote a biography, in which she later review if there was anything that was missing. We later meet together to discuss about our autobiographies, biographies, and readings. I began thinking that we really do not anything in common. There might be small similarities that we might share,…

    One of the hardest things for the colonists to comprehend was the Cherokee kinship system. It was based on the matrilineal structure, where lineage is traced through the mother and maternal ancestors. What completely shocked me however, was that a child’s father wasn’t very important in their life as their uncle from their mom’s side would be.…
