Personal Narrative: Preschool Career
Every morning of preschool was the same. My older sister and I would skip ahead until we were stopped by the gate, that only grownups could open, and had to wait for my mom to let us through. The closer I got to the door, the more the tears began to fill my eyes, completely blurring my vision by the time I had to say goodbye. My older sister would go to go to her own classroom, and my mom would then leave.
Tears soon flooded my eyes until I could no longer hold them back. I cried. In fact, I did not stop crying, I couldn't. Eventually, my sister would emerge through the doorway; she had been sent over from her classroom across the hall to comfort me. This was the morning routine of my short lived preschool career; my parents and teachers decided I wasn't ready yet for school, so they pulled me out for the rest of the year. From a young age I wasn't the biggest fan of school, even preschool wasn't appealing to me and that's saying something. When looking at how my preschool career ended quickly never would

Both of my sisters are loud, talkative, confident, extroverted people. I, however, being more grounded, focused, and quiet, was curious to find out what it was like away from their shadows. Their strong personalities, so much alike, tended to overshadow my own, but I never allowed them to define me, and they helped me to find my independence. Living with them taught me how to be flexible, diplomatic, and easy going. I learned that I had to chose what was really worth fighting for. As I began to separate myself from them I began to discover joy in my own things. For a while when I was younger I climbed. Climbing was always my thing, I never had to compete against my sisters to be the best, in my family I was just granted the best climber. I found that as I seeked new things, places and people I found freedom to be

    She was born on a busy summer night on September 13th 1918 in Brookline, Massachusetts. I always had the feeling that Rosie was a little different from the rest of us. On the day of her birth the midwife arrived late, and my theory is that this action deprived her brain of oxygen. We were proven right when she failed to advance from kindergarten and was deemed to suffer from intellectual disabilities. When this happened our parents began to conceal their third child from society.…

    Being a leader in 4-H, I have taken on many roles to make the 4-H experience a memorable and very enjoyable. One of my more recent projects was creating a six week Cloverbud Science Club. After school, the cloverbuds in the Perham School District would come to the Science Club and learn various science topics including space, water, and chemistry. I prepared the lesson, taught, and cleaned up. Besides teaching, I became a quick problem solver when it came to a conflict. I learned how long the youth could focus on a project and how to explain the results from their experiments. This science program was the first taste of 4-H many of these students had, but it made their 4-H experience a fun and memorable journey. By implementing these programs,…

    It was 6 o’clock on a Friday. I couldn’t wait to see my new baby cousin. After what seemed like hours, he finally arrived. I called first to hold him and I was first to the door as they walked in. To my surprise, he was awake! I sat down and he was handed to me. I was quite nervous because I didn’t even know how to hold a newborn baby. “Which way do I hold him?” “What if he starts crying as soon as he gets in my arms?” I was instantly relieved when he looked up at me with his big blue eyes. It was almost as though he was telling me “Everything is going to be okay.” In all reality, I kind of expected to be prepared for watching kids. School is meant to educate students on important life skills,…

    She opened herself little by little. She was having conversations with the children around her and playing with them more often. I never knew if the reason she was making progress was because of all the pilones that I gave her, but I was extremely happy that she wasn't feeling left out anymore. I was proud of her. Working in that daycare made it possible for me to help a seven-year-old girl to be more sociable. I love to think that I changed that little girl’s life for the better. At first, I was happy that I was able to make money and help my mom, but I was happier that I was helping that little…

When I was in school I always took a reading and writing course with a grain of salt, it was just one more class on my schedule. Literature did not really appeal to me in my early experience. I always think that why do I need to take a literature course in order for me to succeed in the future.…

    We have a friend (that was introduced to us by a mutual friend) who has been a big resource for us. Her son and Noah had a lot in common, including the trials and tribulations that kids like them (and their families) had to deal with. The afflictions that affected my son and hers did not have her suffer in self-pity (even though she has admitted that there are times she has felt defeated). She instead became a true champion of the cause, since she ultimately felt that what happened to her son could have been avoided. She did it all; fighting state regulations (particularly medical insurance), educating other parents with kids like hers about what she felt was the government’s role in what now affects 1 in 65 kids in the United States, to even pointing out that what we feed kids like hers affect how they…
