Personal Narrative: My Second Recital
My Second recital- “Juana are you almost ready” I heard my mom call from outside the bathroom door. I fell asleep in the shower again. I only had 35 minutes to get ready for my recital. To make things worse I had just got moved up to a more experienced class with 2 people instead of 5. Over the last year me and those girls had become really close even though I only saw them 3 times a week sometimes 2 but in that short time period we learned to trust each other and were happy for others success. In my new class there were 2 girls who had felt that same feeling for 5 years so they were actually best friends. They weren’t very happy with me joining in so they were really mean to me so I didn’t want to be there as much as I did before. I got ready …show more content…
Before I got out the car so my parents could find parking I realised that I need to change my shoes so I did it really quickly and ran inside I found the two of them and said hi but they just stared at me like I was a foreign object “So rude.” I thought to myself and continued to the makeup room. After I finished I went into the dressing rooms and it was full of high schoolers I was only in 6th grade! I felt so out of place so I just sat in the corner and tried to remember my acrobatic dance. Performance number 11 is up I heard one of the older girls call. I was number 13 so I walked out of the room and waited in a line for number 11 to finish. My stomach kept doing all these twists and turns and It felt like no oxygen was running to my brain so I sat down and closed my eyes. That made me feel a lot worse because once on stage I forgot my dance I’ve practiced it over a hundred times how can I forget it now. I decided to watch the other girls and as soon as they did a cartwheel I did a cartwheel then I went down in a split and the crowd oohed and ahhed. I walked into the middle for my solo a trick and I saw them standing there with smirks on their faces because they weren’t supportive of me and they thought that there was no way in the world that I could do a

    Freshman Composition has done so much for me academically. In previous years I have had to do little to no writing and even when we did there were no rules or writing process we had to follow. This class has built a great basis for me, towards my academic future. I do realize that I am far away from being even an average writer, but I enjoy and accept that challenge to myself on becoming a competent writer. Parts of my writing, that still need to work are my introductions and sentence fluency. While I believe that my strong suits are, that once I get past my obstacles of writing that I have the potential to write something that will make a difference, other than that all my skills are still very raw. I’ve learned many things during EN101, the…

    While I was waiting, I looked around, and from the window, the sky became darker and darker as the cloud covered the last sunlight. I couldn’t breathe. In about twenty minutes, most parents were there. Then the head teacher started to talk about how seriously we did. She told in front of all these people: “she was the one who cheated teachers and brought her friends out of school. We teachers are responsible for your children’s safety in the school. But who is responsible for that once they are out? Jasmine, can you?” I was shocked. I did not think about that the teacher would blame me for all of this. Everyone in the office was staring at me, and my parents as well. I was ashamed, so ashamed that I wanted to hide, and I can’t stop my tears out. The teacher continued and talked to all of students: “I believed you because you are fifth grade. I thought you are old enough to distinguish right or wrong. But now, I am really disappointed at you guys.” We were still in elementary school, and we were so young to comfort ourselves in this situation. Most of the girls in our group began to sob like me.…

    Growing up I spent most of my childhood in Vietnam living an ordinary life. My parents were not risk-takers until they decided to quit their career as educators and move to the United States. Knowing that life in America will be challenging for immigrants, we mentally prepared ourselves to be fearless and get through every obstacle that is in our way. No matter how prepare we were, being a newcomer was frightful. When I first step foot on the land of promise, there was a mixed emotion suddenly rushed through me as a signal telling me life here will not be easy. We faced will endless obstacles and the language barrier is the most, the biggest challenge for us. Personally, I think learning a new language is difficult and requires a lot of hard…

    I headed to my first class which just so happened to be my favorite subject, English. The hallways were very wide but when filled with students I felt like I had to shove my way through just to get to my locker. The lockers were a mixture between Gray and purple. The school colors were supposed to be purple and silver but there was no way that these lockers could be considered. I took a look at the little piece of paper that the lady in the office had given me and tried out the combination on my locker. It took me about five minutes to open it and after struggling for that long I was a little irritated so when it did open, it flew open and slammed into the locker next to mine. I held my breath and hoped that nobody had noticed. I took a long deep breath and slowly opened my eyes again. Luckily I was still standing alone and nobody around was looking at me. I put my extra books and notebooks into the locker and and closed it as quietly as I could.…

    Ever since I was born, I was a military brat. Not knowing where to call home, or if any place could be home, I moved.

    In 4th grade I was invited to see a friend of mine in the stage production of "Charolette's Web." I was entranced by what was happening in front of me. Real life people on a stage with a crowd people watching. The theatre I saw the production at was called Spotlight Theatre and every time Spotlight did a performance, they gave away a cookie cake to one of the audience members. As luck would have it, I was the winner that day. I was asked to come up to the stage and receive my cake from some of the cast members. As I received the cake and looked out upon the crowd filled with lit up faces, I realized that this was where I belonged. I felt energized and happy unlike anything I had ever felt before. Later that year I would see myself audition…

    On the first day of school I was really nervous about going to choir, third period. Until I walked into class and seen my friends standing there, waiting for me. We all greeted each other, talked about our summer, and waited for the bell to ring. A couple minutes later the bell rang and we all took our seats. As soon as Mr. Phalen was finished with attendance, introducing himself, and babbling about the things to be looking forward to during the year, we got talking about concerts and opportunities we could do. He talked a little about an opportunity called, Honor Choir. I had raised my hand and asked when this event would be held. His response was, not until November, Friday the 13th. As class ended it was time for fourth period.…

    As I arrived at school, I went straight to my locker and put all my stuff away and got my binder and went to class as fast as I can. As I enter the room, I see my friends talking and I see the girl that I really like. I never really talked to her but I try to be friends with her. It’s hard to keep it a secret between my friends but I try to keep it to myself. So as school goes on, my teacher assigned us to be in a group to work on our science project. I got into a group of my friends and my crush. It was really awkward at first but when we started working, we started to talk and like work together. Ten more minutes before lunch, we are pretty much done but all we have to do is label it. The lunch bells ring. As I rushed to my locker, I accidentally bumped my crush. I didn’t mean to bumped into her, as I help her pick up her stuff from the ground she said,” It’s alright Mark, I know that you’re in a rush, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out someday?” I paused for a minute, as I told her that I would like to hang out with her someday, embarrassment came out. I started to like sweat a lot because I was so nervous and I didn’t know what to say. I started to blush in front of her and her friends. That was one of my embarrassing moments of my life! As I walked away slowly away from them, I went to open my locker to put my binder away and suddenly all my friends went up to my locker and said, “I was wondering if you wanted to come with us to subway.” “I can’t, I have to go home…
