The Driving Force-Personal Narrative
I got in my car, not really knowing what I was doing. But the urge was strong. Not taking my mind off that thought made it grow stronger. And the urge just got bigger. I started the engine and with that I rolled onto the road. Ready for whatever was next.

As I drove away from my house, I saw that I was in desperate need for some gasoline. When my old car stopped with a screech. I swiped my credit card and payed for the liquid. Then I hopped into my car and started the engine. I finally reached my destination, Parliament Hill.

I pulled in the parking lot and quickly parked right in front of the entrance. Then I jump out of my car, and broke the window of another car. I immediately hotwired the car to start. And then drove to the other side

    I backed out of my driveway and proceeded my way South on my street till I reached the stop sign. I turned my right blinker on, and heard the tick-tock sound until I made my ninety degree turn.

Nadilee got into the back seat of the minivan, and I continued to make a loop around her yard to start going North on Olive Avenue.…

    In chapter 12, the key event to me was when Claudia and Finn talked to each other through the keys. I felt many emotions when reading their interaction one of them being happy. I felt happy when they talked to each other because it was a turning point in the story in my opinion. I also felt surprised because at first, I thought by having two keys, there would be a lock that would need both keys to hear and speak to each other. I also felt confused by the way they conversed; How could they now hear each other but not before. I think by having one key being touched, the other key can hear because on page 153 Claudia says she breathed and rubbed on the key making it warm and on page 154 Finn says when he touches the key it's warm.I like the way the author wrote the scene from both perspectives, it gave us the readers a clearer understanding of how both Finn and Claudia felt. I also like how the author described the way both keys affect each other and have a "key" connection.…

    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. My mother has been through pretty much everything a person can go through outside of war and was still able to be there and provide for all 6 of her kids. In high school, my mother wanted to play football and couldn't because she was a girl and back-in-the-day women were not allowed to play football with the guys. However, she remained strong by raising 6 kids and independently took care of all of us on her own. My mother has several qualities that I would love to develop. The first quality she has is balance; she certainly knows how to make…

    As I was writing my personal narrative for my composition 1 class, it easily made my mind boggle. After I had got started on my personal narrative, it was easy for me to keep writing and keep following along the story line. The main strength of mine that the essay played to was my creativity and my flexibility for different writings, because I have never written an essay as serious and sad as this one, but I did have to add my happy ending when I finished the story. I wanted it to be very attention grabbing with a twist, but I also wanted it to be very emotional.…

    Football has always been a big part of my life. As a young boy I would day dream of making insane touchdowns, making tackles that would leave man stuck in the ground, and even winning the heisman trophy. In 7th grade I had begged my mother endlessly to sign me up for pee wee football because she would always worry about the risks of football. After finally getting her to sign me up, we went straight into the season. I chose to play running back because as a 12-year-old I was remarkably fast having timed 5.3 in the 40 yard-dash. After a few weeks in the season we approached the playoffs and found out our opponent for the first round of the playoffs were the jaguars who were undefeated. Our team didn’t have the best chemistry on…

    The registration office was far off. When I got there, the parking space was filled up. I spotted one parking lot. Hurrah, I thought. Only as I edged in to park did I realize why others had avoided it. It was really tricky parking there and I had to use all my parking skills. Obviously I was lacking in these skills. Suddenly, I heard a crunching sound as my car struck the next one.…
