Personal Narrative: My First Refugee Ride
I was at Kings Island in the seventh grade wondering which ride i should ride next. I was in a group of three,Cooper Schenk, Joey fields, and I. We were walking around and we stumbled upon a ride called the Firehawk. It was pretty early in the morning and Kings Island had just opened, so there was barely any line. So we decided to get on the ride. When we got to the seats, I hopped in one, wondering what was going to happen to me when I got in a seat. The workers came to me, Joey, and Coopers seats and strapped us in. After they made sure I was secure and safe, they put a thumbs up signaling we were okay. Then the seats reclined so we can see the ground, (I thought it was to make it look like we were falling to the ground). I knew this was

    Personal Narrative: Camp Mosaic

    Friday. T minus 15 hours till the last day of camp. The Saturday volunteer cancelled. My game plan was crumpled up and trashed. “Why hadn’t I thought of backup plan?” I asked myself, on the verge of pulling out my hair. I hadn’t taken into account all the variables and now I was receiving the repercussions. I had no idea becoming the Transportation Coordinator for a camp would be so stressful.…

    The Little Refugee

    1. The Little Refugee is a multimedia text. This book is a great example of belonging due to the representation of Anh Do and his family moving from Vietnam to Australia and belonging into the Australian culture. I chose this article because of the several aspects of belonging represented in this text. These aspects include social belonging, cultural belonging and just the overall acceptance in a new country. Anh has many difficulties during his life in Australia but with his parent’s encouragement he succeeds and becomes the person he visualised to be.…

    Personal Narrative: My Journey To Colombia

    I came to the United States from Colombia when I was just 3 years old. I was brought into the country of bright opportunities because like every other parent, my mother and father wanted what was best for me. My mother had to give up her dream job in Colombia, which was being an accountant for an essentially important company, in order to facilitate my well-being and open up the doors for my future. As the years progressed, I began to acquire both languages, English and Spanish, but there was a point where I became tongue tied and had to assist in speech therapy. My parents would talk to me in Spanish at home but in school all I would hear was English, my mind was extremely confused to the point that I made my own language by using both tongues in one sentence.…

    Personal Narrative: My Trip To Vietnam

    First off, trip to Vietnam was truly a blessing. I did not expect so much of the trip until the first day I arrived Vietnam. On my first day, I got an opportunity to meet many great people who were selfless; those who cared more about others rather than themselves. It took approximately 14hours in total to arrive at hotel. Even though the plane ride was only about 5hours, since it was a group trip, it took extra time to ensure everyone is in right place. Despite the exhaustion and drowsiness, no one complained but encouraged others. I was already touched by grace of God before we even began our mission trip. On the second day, I volunteered for the medical service. There were two activities including the medical service, and house painting…

    Personal Narrative: My First Immigrant Expedition

    In the summer of 1803, a twenty-eight year old Virginian was preparing to lead a field expedition into some of the most rugged wilderness on the North American Continent. It would be a perilous undertaking. The platoon traveled by boat, horse and foot for approximately 8,000 miles- venturing beyond maps, traveling into the headwaters of the great Missouri river, across the fearsome Rocky Mountains, and through the unforgiving western plains. The crew explored an undiscovered route to the pacific and back; encountering cold, hunger, danger, and wonders beyond belief. No expedition had ever attempted such an arduous undertaking, no one thought it was possible.…

    Personal Narrative: My Journey To America

    Let me start off with my mother's journey to America. It was 1985 when her parents decided it was time for a fresh start. It was very difficult to come to America legally, so they made their journey by traveling to other countries. They left Cuba and traveled to Spain where my grandfather found a job as a farmer. They lived in Spain for almost 2 years before they gathered enough resources to travel to Mexico. The journey from Mexico to the USA was very easy for them because they had a family member who knew their way around. They struggled for many years in America but soon became legal citizens. My mother later on went to college and completed her bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Miami. My grandparents purchased the…
