Personal Narrative: If I Had To Lose My Five Sense

Improved Essays
If I had to lose any of my five sense I would lose my sense of smell. It’s not a matter of what sense I want to lose but which four senses I would want to keep the most. I listen to music every single day, on my way to school, when I’m doing homework, when I’m at home as a type of pastime; I would simply not be able to live my life without enjoying music. To lose my sense of touch I would not be able to feel the warmth of my blankets on cold nights or feel the hugs I receive from my mother or the oddly satisfying brushing of grass against my shoe whenever I walk, simple pleasures like these would become missing from my life, and alongside missing music, my life would become mundane. Without my sense of smell, I would not be able to taste many

    When asked to define myself in one paper, I find it hard to show the details that I want to in the right light. When asked about my future after high school, I also have a hard time describing everything I want to get done because there are far too many things to name. The quote “ _____” (i want to be everyone and do everything and there isn’t enough life to do it all in) describes me to a tee, and I believe this college is the place I could do this in. Being a shy person for most of my life, many things were difficult for me. Specifically, last summer I had the opportunity for a summer job.…

    When I was growing up and my brother attended high school, I always enjoyed going to Friday night football games and watching the best part of the game: the halftime show. While I sat in the stands, my brother would be marching sets, creating intricate formations and blasting his trumpet at fortissimo. I dreamed to be a part of the sets of formations and play difficult music at rapid tempos. Once I entered middle school, I immediately signed up for band and assigned to play the oboe, a woodwind instrument in the double reed family and, arguably, one of the most difficult instruments to master. I didn’t know then, but I later found out that this activity would push me out of my comfort zone and learn not only challenging sonatas and melodies, but also life skills I would need to achieve my goals.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    The five senses are the important, but some people take them for granted. If I had to choose one to live without I'd choose taste. In 2005, Duncan Boak lost his sense of smell after a brain injury. Since smell and taste are closely linked his taste was impacted as well. "It's so hard to explain but losing your sense of smell leaves you feeling like a spectator in your own life, as if you're watching from behind a pane of glass, it makes you feel not fully immersed in the world around you and it sucks away a lot of the color of life.…

    The five main senses are something that can be seen as simple, but complicated at the same time. Every single day of your entire life your senses have not only made you aware of your surroundings, but has also made connections and memories through what you see, smell, taste, touch and hear.

    One of the most intriguing and intellectual experiences of my life was searching for a senior quote. After much deliberation, I settled upon one by Albert Einstein, “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” This quote was one which provoked more thought and philosophical reasoning than any other I have encountered in my life. I began to realize that, in truth, objective reality is a figment of our imaginations. It is an unattainable ideal that humans will never reach.…
