Personal Narrative: The Housing Development Near Our House
As my brothers and I were playing basketball out side we heard our mom calling us.
“Hey guys would you go to Byron Center and buy bananas?”
“Okay!” my brothers and I said at the same time. Our mom gave us five dollars so we could ride our bikes into town and buy her bananas.
“Jeremy you take the lead and your brothers can follow you,” instructed my mom. My brothers and I had a discussion about what path we were going to take to get to the store. We decided to cut through the housing development near our house because it would be safer.
The trip was uneventful other than I had to ride on the back of a tricycle while my brother John was peddling it. My bike had a popped tire.
On the ride home, Jeremy lead the way again and carried the

    Personal Narrative-H Is For Hammock

    "Your father and I are leaving to go shopping in Wichita. Please stay out of trouble, and don't make a mess." Said my mom on her way out the door. I heard the car start, as it pulled out of the driveway and out of site. Normally when my parents go shopping and don't take my sisters and I with them, that means they are buying things for us. I couldn't wait for them to get home, and see what they got us.…

    Personal Narrative: Where The Sidewalk Ends

    I always keep this poem and picture in my wallet. I take it everywhere with me because it means quite a lot to me in two very different ways. One of those ways is because it holds sentimental value. When I was younger I learned to read very late in life and I was always so embarrassed of that. My father knew that I was struggling and bought me the book, Where the Sidewalk Ends. It is a book full of poems and little pictures written by Shel Silverstein. I remember opening the book to ta random page, and it was the page with this poem. I then remember my dad asking me to read it to him. I was so uncomfortable, even thought I was just going to be reading to my dad. He gave me some words of encouragement, and even thought I was not able to read…

    Personal Narrative Essay: East Los Angeles

    Good ole Los Angeles. I’ve been lucky enough to visit many cities around the world; Amsterdam, Rome, New York, even Mexico City, and its safe to say that there isn’t any other city in the world that has the robust mixture of urban concentration and suburban pride. Nowhere does this ring truer than in East Los Angeles. While some believe “east los” is nothing more than a breeding ground for failure, crime, and Hispanic illegal immigrants I believe it is much more than that. I believe the east side of los Angeles is a unique community with a vibrant history and culture that enlightens its residents and surrounding communities with a different perspective of the world, giving them an…

    Personal Narrative: What's Wrong With Neighbors

    Do you ever wonder what those older, grumpy guys talk about when they are sitting together having coffee? You can tell they are mostly complaining. You hear the occasional swear word. You watch them shake their heads in disbelief at certain people and how they act. But, what do they talk about? Well, I decided to listen in. Unfortunately, after I started listening, they only talked for a short time more and then got up and left. Next time I will try to get quotes from a full conversation, but for today, here are two quotes from the last few things they talked about.…

    Personal Narrative: How People Lost Their Sense Of Community

    People seem to be losing their sense of community for fear of “getting involved.” A community is a safe quiet place where a bunch of families enjoy the company of each other. Some family could work in a cubical at an office and others could work at the post office, whatever their occupation is there is always peace and quiet in the neighborhood. Kids playing outside knowing each other like if they were family, backyard grill out and other events, but when something bad happens in the neighborhood they are even more quiet then it is on a Sunday night, one murder three attempts and no call for help.…

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Enviroment

    The environment I grew up in was not one of the most conventional family environments for a few reasons: I grew up on a native reserve on an island in Alaska.I live with my physically disabled mother, who is my inspiration. Some people might say that this is a setback for me, but I believe that it has helped me to become the best version of myself I can be. In fact, a large reason why I have become so self-determined is because of my home environment. I have bigger, better dreams because of how I have lived my life, and instead of holding me back they have inspired me to achieve greater things in life.…
