Personal Narrative: Life In Kansas
Life in Kansas. Well, it’s life, but in Kansas. If I ever talk to someone from another state or anywhere else they always say something about it being flat, even though I never thought it was flat because there are the beautiful Flint Hills of Kansas that are not flat at all. Also, if I ever travel outside of Kansas and somebody knows I am from Kansas they will say “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore” as some kind of joke, it’s a given. The Flint Hills are absolutely stunning and it is my favorite thing to see when I’m traveling to Kansas City.

His nerves were racing and his relatives were too. This race was televised to the whole state of Michigan. He didn't practice and is coming into this with no running experience.

    Did you know I recently moved from Tennessee to Nebraska? When I moved to Nebraska, everyone told me how flat Nebraska was, how it was full of fields. In my mind I was reminded of Tennessee with its family owned farms that could stretch for several acres. I realized that though Tennessee and Nebraska are hundreds of miles away they are very similar.…

    Our whole wagon train met at the front entrance and we left Fort Kearney together. It was a nice stay, but we had to keep moving. As we were traveling on the trail, we were stopped by the South Platte River. We need to cross the river in order to follow a stream that heads to the North. We check if there were bridges around the place since the water was shallow, but we saw no bridge. We decided to use the sand bar we saw so we can get across the river. As we crossed the river, Michael almost fell off the sand bar with his 13 year old son. Luckily Curtis pulled him up and we were successfully able to cross the river.…

    Throughout my life, I have had to make many choices. Some have been quite simple such as, whether to have a cookie or ice cream, or quite difficult such as, trying to decide where I wanted to go to college. All these choices, big or small, have made me who I am today. Certain choices have taught me lessons about what not to do in life, while other choices have made me grow stronger in my moral character. One such choice was whether or not to take part in my church’s mission trip called Impact Virginia. I had the choice between spending a week of my summer relaxing at home, or outside working on houses for people in need. I can honestly say at that time it was a difficult choice. I had never gone on a mission trip, so I had never known how…

    From what I recall, the day was heated, as were most days living on the top floor of a run down, income based apartment complex. Our second hand wall air conditioner sucked, and we were miserable. While annoyingly listening to the foreign toddlers run up and down the hallway in their diapers, I made the decision; it was time to move.…

    When I was younger, my aunt always told me “nothing's better than than fresh produce and growing up on it!” Growing up in Bath County was really different than Fort Defiance. There wasn’t any Walmarts, Food Lions, or Martin's local, only stores they had were little convenience stores. Most people had to grow their own vegetables… and even have their own farm animals.…
