Personal Narrative-Lack Of Parking On Campus

Decent Essays
10/2/2017 was an extremely difficult day for me. I was coming from a 12 hour-shift from Fullerton and this was my second twelve-hour shift. I had not slept in 24 hours and I was extremely sick. I was vomiting on my way to CBU and when I got to campus I couldn’t find parking. I spent 1-hour driving around looking for an empty space to park. When I drove around this parking I noticed there was not a sign at the front like other handicapped parking spaces and the handicapped sign on the floor was faded and I noticed the car next to me was the same so I thought that it wasn’t a handicapped parking anymore. The car next to me didn’t have a ticket and because it was faded and there is a lack of parking on campus I thought it could have probably made

    For all of my life, building close relationships has been the key to my success. I form relationships successfully in a small, comfortable setting. In school, classrooms are an accessible way for myself to accomplish this with my teacher. For every teacher I was close to, the class I had with them was my top class. One of the main reasons I chose Clarkson College was because I admired it was a private college with a limited student to teacher ratio.…

    I humbly ask that you to excuse this parking ticket as it was never my intention to violate any parking laws. I received a ticket a few days before this one. When I did, I did not understand that all areas of the garage required a parking permit. I payed the fine the same day, and bought a parking pass the following day. The next time I parked I was late for class and parked in an area where I correctly read a sign that said “Parking Permit required”.…

    The Cost of Tuition is Too High The continuous rise of tuition and fees is getting out of control. Alarmingly high numbers of students are resorting to getting student loans to cover the cost of obtaining a higher education.

I have family members who are either still paying off student loans from years ago or are currently acquiring them.…

    "The doom of all who harmed them was certain" (310). Before I started high school and learned how to drive, every day after finishing homework I would go to my neighborhood store to shop for confectionary and school supplies. Preparing to travel to the store, I checked the outside weather and it appeared like a bright and sunny day, until I got onto my bike. When I rode my bike for thirty minutes, the weather immediately turned from bright to gloomy; the gloom encompassed itself with heavy rain and wind, and I knew it was going to become a perilous journey to go back home. Similarly to Odysseus, I had to find a way for advice; only my safeguard came from a covered parking lot area, warding off the “ghosts” of wind and rain.…
