Personal Narrative: My American School Life
My decision to have American school life was the biggest transformation in my life. The background of my family was very normal except that my parents were more exposed to English than any other Korean parents. My mom is an English teacher, and my dad is an electrical engineer. They both can read, write and speak English. I was exposed to English since I was young, and I started to learn the alphabet when I was three. I've been to an English speaking kindergarten, and an English-based international elementary school. As soon as I went into middle school, I started to forget commonly used English because I was had lesser opportunity to speak English at the school. While I was applying for international high school in Korea, I realized how much

    Personal Narrative: My Year Of High School

    Throughout my years of high school I have always strived for the best grades that I could attain, and they didn’t come easy. There were plenty of distractions that had driven me off course. Whether it was long hours at practice, volunteering for my community, or having a part-time job, I couldn’t let these activities hinder my grades. This purpose had sprung in me, to not only strive in my extracurricular activities, but also my schoolwork. Balancing both school and additional activities wasn’t a simple task. This led me to many sleepless nights, in which I had to tutor myself on certain topics I was struggling on. This ranged from my hardest subject, to studying extra hours on my hardest class, and even simple topics that I needed extra work…

    Personal Narrative: My Failure Of School

    Failure is the state of not meeting an objective, and is normal for people to face throughout there life. I can speak on experience an event that had happened this past summer. After finals when my school had sent out final report cards, it was sad to see that my final average in my US History course did not meet the requirements to continue to the next grade. From there I had two options: to go to summer school and pass so that I may continue school at the academy or transfer schools and repeat my junior year of high school. With these two options I decided that it would be best to go to summer school and put all I had into the class so that I may pass. Sadly this failure had affected my life more than expected. I could no longer take part…

    Personal Narrative: Indian Culture Vs American Culture

    Language was not always easy to speak, write, and understand when I first moved here from India. Understanding two different culture shocks from Indian culture and American culture, was surely one of the toughest part about moving to the United States was. Everything was very different from my skin color to the way I spoke English. Every time I passed by people in the hallway, everyone would stare at me because they all knew about “the new girl from India.” Slowly as months passed by I started realizing the difference in culture, lifestyle, and behavior. Looking back before I moved to the US, growing up with a single parent impacted my view in society. My mom always taught me to be the hardest working person in the room. She always told me…

    Personal Narrative: Growing Up In The United States

    Based on the first day, I loved it and don’t want to go back to the United States for a while. There were prestigious architectures, exciting activities, and many unusual animals. Growing up in India wouldn't be the worst possible life and I wouldn't run out of activities to do for sure. Although, poverty is a big issue nationwide and needs to be brought to the government's attention. Many families are walking the streets, asking other people for money to buy clothes, a house, and provide a life for their children. After the first day life is surely not the same in India as it is in the United States. Some girls in India aren’t thoroughly educated, females aren’t treated the same as males, a caste system is still existing in certain areas,…

    Personal Narrative: My Trip To High School

    During my freshman year of high school I received a letter in the mail. This letter was an invitation to play basketball in Australia, with other boys and girls of my age. The date was September 13, 2011. The letter stated that we would be leaving June 1, of 2012. Of course I wanted to go as soon as I read the letter, but my family was more curious about the trip. We did some research and figured out everything that would be offered on this trip. In my research I read of playing Australian basketball games, snorkeling, swimming in the ocean, surfing, and spending three days on Tangalooma Island. This was enough to convince my family that it would indeed be a fun trip for me to attend.…

    Personal Narrative: My Education

    My education will never be complete. This knowledge affords me the ability to grow each and every day. It teaches me to question the world and to learn from these questions. I learn through different lenses and circumstances I experience each day. At seventeen, I am nowhere near complete. I am young. I am flawed. I am naïve. What I have learned has led me down different paths in order to achieve different milestones on my own journey. I am strong. I am creative. I am poised...but most importantly I am learning. My education has allowed me to learn about myself, about others, and about the world. I am evolving through the educational process and through the effort of acquiring knowledge. I have no idea what I will learn tomorrow --some days…

Where I learned most of my English skills, I was so nervous at the first time that I started the school in America but at the same time I was happy to start new school. Even though, it was the very hardest part of coming to a new country, I did not give up. I had lack of understanding with the students and teachers, because mostly was my language pairs.

    Personal Narrative: My First Grade

    It’s a bler, trying to look back on when I was a preschooler, so first grade was a mess. First grade is a life changer. Going to Tri-Point in Piper City not even for a full year. Tri-Point is a small old school just like ROWVA. I remember changing schools because my parents got a divorce. We moved to Peoria and lived there with my mom's parents. I got transferred to a Catholic school. Every Wednesday the whole place went to church right across the street. It was the worst thing ever sitting in the old creepy church listening the Father talk about only “God” knows what. My teacher's name was Mrs. Heartstick, no I did not make the name up. She grossed me out. He hands very dry and cracked, they looked like an old man's hands who had worked his whole…
