Allies And Aliase: Personal Narrative Analysis

Allies and Aliases
I am a healer in a mercenary company. I am also an Owl bard with an ego. I am a panda bear with the ability to walk on both water as well as walls. I work together with my allies from different worlds, from the towering leader of the vanguard to the small farm boy with the ability to change probability, and go on adventures beyond our wildest dreams. I used to work in a group of thieves and later became the daughter of a Viking warrior. I tried to save a city only to accidentally cause a natural disaster. I have many faces, though none are actually physical. To anybody else in my day to day life, I look like a human girl walking down the street. However, to many others that I meet, they see me as a warrior or a healer. They

I have met people from around the world, from Malaysia to Scotland, Brazil and Norway. I have become close friends with people through words alone, only connecting through what we say through the screen to the other being far away. I have been to parties, gone on adventures, and even sat and watched movies with these people all thanks to our bond created over the Internet. This amazing invention has allowed complete strangers to contact each other and form relationships that could never have happened a generation …show more content…
People there were very chatty and I was drawn in to the world of bad puns and fan-girling over movies. It was a cartoon-like game, with short stumpy characters and an endless amount of cute, round enemies that you killed by the dozens without even blinking. It was fast paced and cute, and being the hyperactive teenager that I was it hooked me in and became a large portion of my high school life. Looking back the game itself was more of a chat room site with gaming elements, as most people didn’t even play much of the game and instead sat around the game’s cities and chatted with each other. There was a whole fashion element to the game as people dressed characters up and even spent real world money to get outfits for their avatars. Maplestory is where I found my first online guild, which is like an organized group that is made with a similar interest or out of a group of friends. My Internet social life took off from there. I do not remember quite how I came to join them, but I became friends with its leader and we formed a small group, no bigger than maybe twenty people, who played the game together and talked through the chat. It was never anything serious; we mostly spoke about minor things like recently released games or the latest Japanese anime that had come

    Plastic Baby Scholarship

    I have always been known as being that person who has always been intact and has never shown a single ounce of weakness, because people view me this way, they think I am unbreakable, and that nothing in the world can wound me. I have always been that person that people turn to when they are stuck in a bottomless pit and cannot find a way to get out, because of this, I have always had an interest in being there for those who need a shoulder to accompany them. Since I was very young, I always clung to the passion of being at the side of others who were struggling, and were in desperate need of help. I played with baby dolls until I was ten years old, I would bathe them, I would change them, I would feed them, I would take them out for walks, and I treated them as if the plastic baby actually contained a human heart.…

    Dramatic Allies My life has been full of allies for various things, but my mom, a great ally, was one of the most influential.

Even when I felt shaky about it, she has pushed me to try again and work harder on it.…

    In the textbook on page 61 it is stated that “Our ever-alert brain attempts to make sense of the activity, pasting the random bits of information into a meaningful image.” After reading this sentence I was immediately reminded of a friend of mine who I will refer to as Katie in this assignment. Some time ago she spoke to me of an unusual and mysterious dream that she had the night before. She explained that her dream began with her and the whole neighborhood being locked inside their houses by fear from some type of monster that was roaming the neighborhood. After she dreamt this, the scene changed into an empty road with a kitten in the middle of the road.…

    Wars are a tragedy and something that should be avoided at all cost. Wars cause pain physically and emotionally to soldiers, families, and friends. There are not many differences between wars because all wars have the same objective; stop the guy who is trying to kill you. Possibly the only difference is how people are killing each other in the war with different combat gear that has evolved over time. Soldiers still face the brutality of war with having to face the enemy head on and to care about the man beside them.…

    About four years ago I was playing club lacrosse for the Villanova Wildcats travel team. I was about thirteen years old when I experienced one of my first significant lessons of failure. At a young age many do not understand the importance of failures and short comings, and how it is essential to learn, grow, and improve. We think success comes easy and without trial which is not realistic. My life changing failure taught me many things: the strength of teamwork, the power of preparation and will, and how to be a better competitor.…

    When recounting the past four years, I find that I am proud of half of that time, and embarrassed of the other. When thinking back to my first year of high school, I cringe in disappointment at the recollection of my younger self. I was the stereotypical teenager- I held no regard to important things in life, but instead lived for pleasure, making horrible choices along the way. However, since then I have undergone a long, treacherous journey that I can thank for my complete transformation. I was naturally an intelligent, hard-working young woman, but I cared too little for my education.…

    Fall of 2010 and spring of 2012 were the 2 semesters I was inactive after graduating from the University of San Diego. In the fall of 2010 I was acclimating to a life back in Los Angeles and actively looking for a position where I was serving others. I secured a tutoring position in an underserved community for students in grades k thru 12 in the areas of math, science, and English for a startup tutoring company called 1 On 1 Academic Tutors. My greatest competitive advantage became my hunger to succeed and to actualize the life that my parents envisioned for me when they migrated from Mexico. Within the year, I was promoted to Senior Contract Administrator and by fall of 2012 I was creating spreadsheets alongside graphs and analyzing them…

    Sometimes A failure isn’t a failure at all it’s just a minor setback. I learned this at the beginning of my 10th grade year. My teacher had told my classmates and I that we were able to be dual enrollment students at Germanna Community College. She informed us that we would have to take an entrance exam to be placed in classes that were suitable for us. When she said this we told her that we’d be ready and that we’d pass with no problems.…

    Life can be: harsh, cruel, unforgiving, troublesome; you could change that one word to any other adjective and deep down you could still feel that everything is unfair. To some that feeling is a weight that can drag you down and drown you from the inside out. Life isn't good to everyone and it's certainly not going to be fair all the time, it's an unknown concept. Some people think that when life drags them down, and they suffer with their emotions and their thoughts and their hearts at night that they're weak, because they can't survive. But no armor came out of a battle unscathed, because scratches, dents, and deformations showed strength in time.…

    My story begins with a beautiful Italian street that seemed to be endless with the color green and stunning scenery. As I run through country after another trying to run around the world two times in a row without stopping nearly dying every time I needed to sleep. As I continued on my second journey around the world I began to wonder what I would do after I was finished running. At first I came up with a simple answer like sleep or eat a burger, but the more I thought about simple things or things I would do next in my life I realized I had no clue. Around the time I reached the edge of Japan I felt exhausted and like I would never walk again.…
