Personal Narrative: Veterans Day Assembly

Improved Essays
We all know that the bad memories are always the most memorable. When I was younger,I wasn't the most tamed child, I had a tendency of getting into mischief. I Even once received ten minutes on the wall for getting into trouble. Time on the wall also meant how long you got held from recess. It was anywhere from stealing a pencil, to going onto the forbidden Monkey Bars. One day I went a little too far, and got twenty minutes on the wall. The whole second grade knew about the little scene I created in at the assembly.
This all started with a Veterans Day Assembly. The loud roar of the class hushed as the teacher pranced into the room. The loud clinks of her tall heels made their way into the front of the class. “ Today is the veterans Assembly class, therefor we will be announced into the auditorium very shortly.” Mrs. Mitchell spoke to us while a sprinkler of saliva sprayed at the front row of students, unluckily I was on the front row. BEEP, “Room 22, please quietly make your way into the auditorium.” The entire class lifted their chairs and attempted to carry them to the assembly as required. Our fragile

In front of me a kid wasn't just saying it, he was screaming at the top of his lungs. Voices whispered, “ what's wrong with him”, “ He is so annoying”Then the girl sitting next to me whispered,“ You should so pull his chair out from under him when he sits down.” I said ” ok, this will be so funny.” The person in front of me slowly went to sit, so I yanked the chair away before he sat down. His body went crashing down on the floor. The howls of laughter made everyone aware of the scene I created. His head smashed the floor, my stomach began to cringe in fear. The teacher rushed over and stared me down. His eyes began to water up, and I soon felt dizzy. She took his hand and lead him into the nurse's

    She was one of the girliest girls I knew since grade school, with her stylish culottes and pink garments of all different shades for all different occasions. She was the epitome of a mixture between pure innocence and quirk that boldly took her rightful place in the middle of my heart. Mary Anne wasn’t just all of that; she was also my affectionate girlfriend, my warm-hearted best friend who I could talk about anything with, from the most trivial things to the very meaning of our whole existence. At the time, all I could feel was the absolute joy that I got from spending my time with her. We had our entire happiness in the future planned out, a dream wedding and all, but maybe that was the reason why I wouldn’t have ever imagined that I would be feeling so lost and empty just a few years later, alone and missing a part of myself.…

Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day.…

    From growing up in a military family, I have become very resilient and I adapt really well to change. With my surroundings changing all the time, I have to be able to quickly adapt to my new setting and find ways to fit in as quickly as possible. I have been to about twelve different schools so far, and I have lived in about eight different houses. When I live on a military base, change is constant, even if it is not my own family experiencing the orders to move that year. The houses around me fill and empty all the time with new people, and some of the military dominant schools I have been to have the same problem.…

    My time at Valley Forge was over, I had been fighting for general George Washington since the summer of 1775 and the victory on April 13 looked so far away because it was only late December, and it was seeming as if a turning point was unlikely. Do I stay and be loyal to my brothers or do I leave and never look back. I had to make my choice very soon, I could have left and the pain of seeing my brothers die , or I could stay and fight for my freedom such as many men had already done. The decision I made was to stay and fight for my country because many men had gotten sick, and I was a faithful servant to my country and I wanted to do what I came to the new world to do which was achieved my freedom .…

    Usually after this was done, we would quietly walk in a single file line down the hallway to the playground. That day, however, it was different. When I opened my eyes, instead of an orderly line of kindergartners, there was one little boy chaotically jumping up and down. As red in the face as a tomato, he seemed to be getting antsier by the second. “Teacher!…

    America's gift to my generation is freedom. Freedom is a great thing to have because others can go to school and live together or school together. I like to have freedom to be able to have protection. Against the unthinkable actions that work in this universe, I am personally scared to see what people can do.

    America’s Gift to My Generation would be education and schooling. Education and schooling is a gift because with children going through school only a few will become our next inventors and scientists. The education will help make our medical teams and technology better than it has ever been before. The schooling is based on how well students work in a classroom because I know I work better at a public school then being home schooled. But for one of my friends it’s the opposite.…

    The room had a strange aura in it, as if the walls were staring at him with an intense glare. All the posters--which there were so many there wasn’t a spot on the wall where your hand could be placed without touching one--were covered with blood-red paper. The only things visible on the walls was the large American flag, whiteboard, and clock, which was messed up and the time was wrong, which was another strange occurrence. It was obviously test day. Mr. Lidiff’s face had also changed to one of concern as students started filing in, and was looking around rapidly, right leg jumping anxiously, holding a rolled up piece of paper with both hands.…
