Personal Narrative: The Mars One Mission
Tens of thousands of people were prepared to leave their families, jobs and lives behind for a one-way trip to Mars.
The Mars One mission was aimed to send humans on a one-way trip to the Red Planet. One of the applicants was Lavanya. Her dream was to travel beyond the ordinary. As soon as she heard about Mars One, she immediately thought of applying. She was very excited and very keen on going. Her application was rejected citing that the quota for female volunteers had already been filled although the quota for male applicants were still open. Lavanya broke down completely. She promised herself that she will go on for the mission anyhow. Depressed she was sitting alone at a local park. Where she was talking to herself. A man sitting opposite

    Personal Narrative: All About Me

    Now this is where I`m supposed to write “all about me”. This is where I become lost. I mean, come on. I wouldn`t know where to start. But I guess the best way to have an idea what makes me tick and what ticks me off is by checking my journal that i fill with endless ramblings about whatever and whoever catches my fleeting fancy or rage. :)…

    Personal Narrative: My Eagle Project

    A time when I took the lead in solving a problem in my community was when I chose my Eagle Project. I wanted my project to impact as many people as possible and I also wanted to give back to the organization that had sponsored my scout troop for so long. I looked over the church grounds and found a need. The church, borders the Harpeth River in Franklin, TN and members can choose to have baptisms done in the river. The problem that existed was that the baptismal site wasn’t safe for those partaking in it or viewing it. The riverbank is steep and there wasn’t a safe place for families to view the event. An old triangular deck was present, but it was small, not adequately anchored and had poorly attached rope rails. My goal was to construct a…

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Mission Statement

    My personal mission statement is to be the best that I can be and work hard to help others be the best they can be. This statement is important to me because I have always found that I am at my best when I am helping people, whether its helping people at my job or at the grocery store. There are many things that fall into place with that, which to me, mainly includes education, because I am a student and I work in a college where I work with students and I listen to their problems and relate to them. So education is very important in general, but to me Community and Industry Education is very important and important to a lot of people. First off I have attended Tarrant County College and I have gained so much from that experience. I have gained…

    Personal Narrative: The Person I Am Today

    Throughout my life I have encountered many circumstances that have shaped me into the person I am today. I was born in Moroleon, Guanajuato, Mexico. I attended school in Mexico all the way to second grade. In the summer of 2006 I moved to Cumming, Georgia. It was the hardest thing to do because I left everything that I care the most about. We lived in a trailer which was not the nicest place and in the middle of the forest. I started school at the beginning of August. I had always loved school so I was so excited for the first day. I knew it was going to be hard because I would have to conquer so many obstacles on the way. At this time the only English I knew was probably counting from one to ten and some of the colors. My Father knew some…

    Personal Narrative: Off The High Dive

    I remember day after day going to swimming lessons in the summer of 2002 at the Mount Vernon pool. Almost every day I walked by the ladder that seemed to go on forever. I used to sit on the pools edge and watch the older kids do flips and other cool tricks off of the high dive. Many times I had gotten half way up the ladder but couldn't bring myself to go all the way up. For a seven year old going off the high dive was like a right of passage and a way to be seen as "cool" in the eyes of the older kids. Today I will be telling you about the first time a braved the high dive.…

But luckily we had smart engineers that built the space station that was big enough to hold 12,000 people with the supply of food, water and air for 100 years. Since we were running out of oxygen and food supply they sent us the 100. We are all criminals on ¨Salvation¨ until we were sent down to the ground…

    Personal Narrative: The Big Day

    Today was the day. The big day. My election for Lieutenant Governor of Division 2B for Key Club, an international service club, was today. Fear and anxiety pricked my skin in rapid movements emanating from every pore. I rehearsed my speech for the fifth time that day. Upon arrival at the Fairfax Library, I urged myself to remain calm. I quickly scouted out the other girls who were present; one girl was dressed professionally with a folder in her hand. I knew that was my competition. The girl spoke eloquently and genially, she radiated enthusiasm and a certain warmth that I did not have. With every question that was asked, she answered with a smooth smile and high-pitched tone that was dripping with sincerity. I bristled inside; I had just been slapped. I was shrouded in a cloud of anxiety and anxiousness. Suddenly, I was dragged from my reverie.…

    Personal Narrative: My Military Journey

    From a young age, I had an interest in the military. My grandfather served in the Navy during World War II, unfortunately he passed away prior to my birth, but my mother told me I was identical to him. I tried to follow in his footsteps of serving the community, first by becoming a volunteer fireman along side my father when I was sixteen. I believed that since my grandfather gave back to the community and country through fighting in the war, this was one way I could give back to my community. As I grew older the idea of going to college and having a civilian career became one that I found more compelling. Consequently, the thoughts of following in my grandfather’s footsteps and joining the military became less realistic. It wasn’t until…

    Personal Narrative Essay On Mars

    So there I was, in Creative Writing, working on my project, when suddenly my name was announced on the intercom above my head, “Fiona Bailey, please come to the front office, Fiona Bailey.” I became surprised for a moment, then I stood up, left my classroom, and started speed walking through the halls towards the office. As I walked through the office doors and asked the front office what they needed me for, I noticed something. There were a bunch of people there that I didn't recognize, and a woman with sparkling brown eyes and a blue dress said to me, “You have just been chosen to go to Mars, and you leave in four days.”I froze, my mouth went dry, and all I could say was, “What?!” The woman smiled and repeated what she just said. Then after a few moments I asked,”How was I chosen to go, and why?” Clearing her throat, she explained that all the…
