Personal Narrative: The Passage Of Time
It seems that I'm running away a lot these days. There always something or someone chasing me to cause physical harm. I must be pretty pathetic or it's how I'm slowly redeem past sins. On the positive side, I'm getting in good shape with all this running. My cardio is getting better and I feel more healthy with lots of energy. The passage of time goes by pretty quickly too. If it just wasn't for the fact that people are trying to rob and hurt me.

[b]“EEK! GO AWAY PLEASE!”[/b] Obviously, just because I said please they're not going to even consider of leaving me alone. I came into town to learn and experience what different towns are like.

    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…

    Traveling into the Indian Territory, we were being angrily chased down by three Indians furiously shouting at us. Dashing through the thick forest, the savage Indians were throwing spears and shooting arrows that narrowly missed us. Although neither Gideon nor I was mortally injured, I did suffer from a nick from an arrow piercing near my ear. Thankfully, a group of burly fur traders approached from the side, which frightened the Indians to run away. Acknowledging that Gideon and I were inexperienced travelers in the west, they offered us protection in exchange for some valuable possessions. As a consequence, knowing that they were our best alternative for survival, we gave them our antique gold pocket watches and assumed the identities of novice fur traders. From that point on, we followed them through the west and adopted their skills for efficiently hunting animals and keeping warm in the harsh, cold weather. During one of our rest points, we approached a large Cherokee settlement located in Park Hill in which our group leader was friends with the Cherokee leader John Ross.…

    My mother, “Regina Hopkins,” has been a positive influence in my life. She has raised 6 kids all by herself as well as earned a Bachelor’s degree in nursing from a City College in Gainesville, Florida.

    Every human struggles everyone has hardship. When I was young I began to notice that maybe it is hard to understand what other people struggle with. The start of a mundane life began as usual a bus ride to school, but today something else happened a flash of yellow a soundless luxury sports car zoomed bass by a Lamborghini. As the car passed by everyone looked at it with amazement as the never seen a car pass from this part of the street. I began to wonder when will I get one with imaginary job I will live the high life. The bus hits a bump on the road I am begging to rationalize who much work will it take to achieve greatness to struggle to overcome adversity.…

    Criminal Justice

    Because I assumed he was a criminal, I also made the assumption that the police officers who came after, were in pursuit of him. As a result of believing that he is a criminal and was desperately running away from law enforcement, I assumed he must have done something wrong. At the same time, I felt the urge to protect him. Perhaps I'm just jaded towards the justice system and especially police officers, but I also felt as if the man was in trouble and that it was my moral duty to keep him hidden. I started to assume that maybe the man was framed. Additionally, I believed it's possible that the man was running out of fear of law enforcement. Since he was so exasperated and worn out from running, I assumed he had not only been running a long time, but he also was hellbent on not getting caught by whoever was chasing him. His desperation is another reason why I felt as if it was my duty to protect him. On an unrelated note, I made the assumption that I did not personally know who this man…

    Turning back time isn’t possible; only if I would have listened more intently to our conversations; her plans were kept a secret from Terry. She decided to leave him and gave strict instruction to the woman at the travel agency, not to call her home phone number. Learning of their relationship from aunts that on more than one occasion, there were serious problems, and Terry had sworn he will never go back to jail no matter what happens. Throughout their rocky relationship, Pam asked her husband to at least let her bring her youngest child to live with them.

    I was never really much of a runner, except when I did track in middle school, ran with some friends at Lake Merced, and on the treadmill at the gym. I always thought running was really boring and rough on my body, until one day my manager at Nike asked me if I wanted to volunteer to run during our Run Club. That is how I got into running but then it slowly turned into a love/hate relationship. There were days I loved to run because it made me feel strong and it gave me a lot of time to reflect while I go on for a long time, and on other days, I just did not feel like doing it at all because I felt lazy and then I completely fell off.…

    When I seem to have lost myself or don’t know what to do, I run. Running takes all my fears and stress away. It brings an upbeat and captivated sensibility. I love the awareness of the different seasons when I run. I see new things and I’m able to explore. Going into the distance and not looking back. Feeling little streams roll down my face. My lungs inflating in and out, as I try to catch my breathe. My heart racing, pounding against my chest keeps me going. I believe running allows me to be adapted and secure. My legs, solid and no husk existing, it feels great. I can remember a point in my life when I hated running. Only the negatives ran through the brain, and the positives non existent. The consistent sweat, tiredness, and out of breathe…

I have learned to plan breaks and I can stick to them.…
