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

    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. I moved six times, four of those places were towns that nobody could think about. Germany, North Carolina, Alaska, North Carolina, Germany, and Alaska, yet no place to call home. May 22, 1999, my first day on this world; Kronach hospital had its first American baby in their hands, yet they acted like I was a different species. The only event I remember was when I was about one. While I was one, I grabbed everything in my reach, even a grill handle. As a baby, I did not know that the handle was moving, the grill top had smashed my thumb. Ever since that event, I now have a starfish mark on the side of my right thumb from where the stiches were.…

    Only a few hours after the awkward conversation with mother, I was already to leave the house. I can’t really explain the feeling I had one the way to the party because it was a mixture of emotions, such as nervous to dance with strangers (especially Paris), scared that I will embarrass myself in front of everyone with my horrible dance moves and on a positive note, excited, after all this is my first time attending such a big party. When I entered the venue which was so beautifully set up, I immediately started to greet everyone, one of them including Paris. It was a very difficult to start a conversation and it involved many silent pauses. If it wasn’t for the entertainers to start singing slower songs for us to dance together with, I don’t think I could have carried on any further. Anyway, after a shaky start, we got on quite well once we began dancing.…

    After retaking the LASSI I have noticed a considerable amount of improvement as well as regression. In the beginning of the year, I vowed to myself that I would become a better student. I wanted to maximize all of my abilities in order to be successful. So, after I took my first LASSI and had my talk with Mac, I began to implement new strategies meant to help me accomplish my goal. First I had to deal with my anxiety. In past years I suffered with a lot of anxiety while learning math. I used to love math very much, however, this changed after my 6th grade year. Math became a foreign subject to me. I could no longer make connections and solve problems. As a result, my grades in math began to drop. As a person who is used to getting A’s and B’s on assignments, I had a difficult time in coping with my failure since it didn’t live up to my standards in the subject of math. My difficulty with math eventually caused me to have anxiety. I had carried this anxiety until my sophomore year in high school. It seemed as if no matter how hard I tried to concentrate on math tests my mind would always become blank. Luckily I had an…

    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…

    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.…

    Since the day I remember I have always loved to sing. Everything that dealt with singing I enjoyed. In school I loved chorus and has been my favorite class I have taken. Learning new music and how to read and write it made me feel like it was possible to write my own song. In my middle school, there was a honors chorus class called the “Small Ensemble” The Small Ensemble was a small and privileged class, they got the opportunity to go participate in school plays, Christmas parades, Christmas caroling, and competitions such as, All-County and All-State. To be considered into this honors class, students had to audition for a seat in the class. When I heard there were going to be auditions I was completely excited and so determined to audition.…

    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…

    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…
