Personal Narrative-Who Is The Resurrection Ten?
When I think about never forsaking things I instantly think about the many blessings I forsake everyday. The blessings I forsake are my school, my parents, and the brotherhood.

First, everyday I wake up and go to class but, I have never taken the time to think about how blessed I am. I literally go to a school that costs thousands of dollars and somehow I still can not go to class. If the class is boring as public speaking or microeconomics class, I think it’s pointless to attend because I constantly stay on my phone the whole time. Not learning a single thing in the the hour I am there, I can not help but think about the countless people that would kill to be able to attend these classes.

Next, my parent I forsake because I do not call them enough. When they call I just ignore them until it is convenient for me. This makes me feel like a shitty son, they pay for my college and allow me to not work during the school year.

Throughout pledgeship, I thought I was doing well until I can not answer questions like, “Who is the Resurrection Ten?” This is the biggest thing I have forsaken because it is a huge portion of this brotherhood, to know who the Resurrection Ten are, Instead, I worry about the relationships I create. The brotherhood’s history is literally the backbone of everything I know today. Bonds made are crucial but it means nothing if I do not know a lot about the brotherhood. The more I write the more I regret not putting more time in my studies and I want to change

    Resurrection in Christian belief is the rising of the dead at the Last Judgment. Resurrection is most notably associated biblically with Jesus Christ. Christ’s rising from the dead three days after having been crucified on the cross is a story well known among most. It is the first ever and authentic report of a resurrection in our history. “Never before had anyone been raised from the grave in such a way as to be completely transformed and thus beyond the icy fingers of death.” (Deffinbaugh) Resurrection is a common biblical theme noted several time in the scriptures within the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible connecting the two.…

    In his book, Ordinary Resurrections: Children in the Years of Hope, Jonathan Kozol pulls back the veil and provides readers with a glimpse of the harsh conditions and unrelenting hope that exists in a community located in the South Bronx called Mott Haven. Mr. Kozol provides his own socially conscious and very informative view of the issues facing the children and educators in this poverty ravaged neighborhood. Just his commentary would paint a very bleak picture of the future. It is the words of the children that give this book optimism and meaning. The courage and care exhibited by the volunteers of St. Ann's after school program and the creativity of the teachers at P.S. 30 are utterly inspiring. They work long hours and go beyond the call of duty to protect the innocence and cultivate the hope that resides in the hearts of Mott Haven's youngest residents.…

    My parents think they can see through my lies and bull crap excuses so I had to make it believable. The easiest thing about all of this was that I have a daughter, which means that she has daycare and doctor’s appointments to be at. I also have a job that I have to be on time for, and depending on my parents to get me to work is not always the fun option for them. I had to consider my advantages and disadvantages of the situation. The hard part about the whole discussion with my mom and dad was that I had to avoid the disadvantages of me getting a car. Like gas, insurance, and the maintenance cost of owning a vehicle. So I had to arrange my argument to where they wouldn’t ask me questions about any of…

    (I am only a little over a half way through, but I do expect a classic Chopin twist...pls no spoilers.) It has only reinforced the belief in me that I should live my life on my terms. Recently, I felt pressured to study something in college that does not interest me at all. I understand that I need to study something that will prove itself financially rewarding, but I also have to think of my interests, talents, strengths, and personality. I know who I am and what I want, so for now I am just going to trust myself and not let anyone try to tell me who I am or who I should be. Also, not to worry, although I do believe I should live life on my terms, I know better than to incessantly skip class because I do not feel like going. I am pretty sure inspiring students to skip class is not what the professor had in mind when assigning this…

    I don’t blame myself for what happened to my parents. I may not be the most buoyant about it, but who would be? Going through your high school years without complete parental support can end horribly in more ways than one. High school is the time when you need your parents the most; you are growing up, maturing, and starting your life. It can be hard to know where to start if you can’t even recognize where your parents have gotten in their lives.…

    College gives a freedom like nothing I had ever experienced before. I remember the first time I missed class. I was so nervous until I realized that I was in charge of myself. After that realization, I missed class for every reason imaginable. It rained this morning, its cold outside, its hot outside, I didn't do the reading and I don’t want my professor to ask me any questions. I didn’t think about how I was actually hurting myself. I…

    During the fall of my 11th year, I was adopted by my second family along with little Leo. They were horrible to us, out of the 6 I was the eldest. All of us crammed together, Them barely having enough for all of us. Well, that's a lie, They had enough, just didn't want to share. They, I could never bring myself to refer to Them as anything other than They, didn't care about us. All They cared about was the paycheck. I took on the role of the mother. I made sure that everyone got enough food to last, kept them safe from the wrath of Them. They fed us with enough for a family of 3, and most of the time myself, along with the next eldest, would go without most meals just so the younger ones could. We would all sleep together on yoga mats on the…

    For e.g. in my year group of friends: one is always really late to school and the other is in the lowest set for nearly all of her subjects. And all you have a problem with is “constant tardiness” but you need to know that if a child that doesn’t get to school on time is not your problem. Therefore you should not have the right to be frustrated with their, “constant tardiness as what they do doesn’t concern you or your children. One of my friends who are always late, she has parents who “can’t be bothered”. Her mother was killed in a train accident and her father works at four jobs to be able to afford to clothe and feed her. Therefore in regards to her being late sometimes their car broke down and he couldn’t get into school- but he always stayed late after school to catch up. What a terrible role…

    I could either blame the separation of my parents on myself by telling myself that if I was a better kid or if I would have asked them for less, they might still be together. Or I could take the positive road, which would be wanting the best form of happiness for my parents, and, obviously, they were not going to be happy if they had to suffer through their arguments or problems.…

    In my case I grew up in Dorchester, MA in a rough inner city neighborhood. Most of the people I was raised around are either dead, in jail, or stuck in the street life and feel they have no choice and it's to late to get out. Fortunately for me despite the area I was raised in I lived in a household full of hard workers. My parents were both hard working people that bought there first home after being in the United States for only four years. My sister didn't fall far from the tree, she was a excellent high school student and went on to get her bachelors degree in music education at Berklee college of music and is now a music teacher. Even though I was raised in a hard working household my environment still affected me in some way making me some what lazy when it came to education. I felt like there was other…

    My first disappointment in my life was when my parents had to travel overseas most of the time while I was preparing for my Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). They travelled because of work and when I needed their support most, they were often not beside me. They had no time for me, just work! I felt as if I did not matter to them. What mattered was they earned enough money.…
