Example Of A Narrative Essay

Narrative On the first day the class, started when I found out what the project was going to entail I wasn't sure what I wanted to do and I felt really overwhelmed. One reason I felt really overwhelmed was due to the fact that when I am given an assignment I hate when I have free rage, I am a very indecisive person and avoid making a decision at all cost. After hearing that we could do pretty much anything we wanted for our project it was my worst nightmare. After hearing we could pick anything we wanted I was thrown another curveball when we had to say what we might want to do that day in front of the class, this horrified me. At first when I was looking at the list of examples, I thought to myself that I would have not wanted to do a creative …show more content…
At first I thought this would be a good pick for me since I had some experience in helping my boss with a few things for his fundraiser as well as going to the event and seeing the finished product and how much people enjoyed the fundraiser. On the first day of class when we went around the room sharing what we might want to do for our project I said plan a fundraiser, but after listening to everyone say theirs and everyone seemed to be doing a creative story piece it got me a little nervous. After class that night I went home and thought about what else I might want to do for my project but nothing was coming into my mind. Upon giving up on finding an idea that night I went to bed and hoped another idea would pop into my head over the next couple of days. After a few days went by I went to do my homework for class and the assignment was you had to write at least three ideas you would want to do for your project, I thought to myself I was in trouble since I only have one and it still needed a lot of work. I began researching some fundraising ideas of different types of fundraisers and possible options for mine and I found a lot of ideas such as, a dance a thon, paint night and silent auction …show more content…
I began thinking of different points of my life but nothing really stuck out to me or seemed that I could relate it to this project but then it hit me. The experience that came to mind was when I was going away to college. When I looked back on my experience I believed it was unique because in total I've been to four different colleges and I believe other students could relate to this. Where my journey began was senior year of high school and applying to colleges, I was so caught up in the last year of high school I just randomly applied to schools or some my parents wanted me to or some my friends applied to. After blowing this process off when it came to pick a college I was lost so I picked the one that I thought I would have most fun at. This decision would turn out to be wrong and I came home from this school after the first semester. Once I returned home I went to community college for second semester and applied to another four-year college. I only applied to this school because my friends went there and I thought the reason I did not like my first school was because I didn’t have the comfort of my friends from home. I got into this school and I thought everything would be perfect I have friends that go there and I was going to be rooming with my best

    Project Citizen has been a wonderful experience. That has taught me many things that I can apply to my daily life that I may have never even thought of if I didn’t do Project Citizen. Even though I had a great time doing this project, I learned most people like to do less work and especially if someone is willing to pick up their slack for a better grade. When working in a team it gets a little hard to find motivation unless you all talk and make a clear plan of what people are doing for the group and when they need to have it done. There were times when our group lost focus really easy and we found ourselves scrambling with things that could have been done if we would have just sat down and defined a day that we wanted it done.…

    This semester I was assigned to Easthaven Elementary School and for my end of course project I had my class make get-well cards for Leukemia patients. This is very different from my original proposed project idea, but I felt this one made a much bigger impact on everyone involved. I work on an Acute Leukemia floor in the James Cancer Hospital and the kids were raising money to help the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. Once the kids knew I worked on a leukemia floor, they asked me all kinds of questions about my job, the patients etc. It was really cool to teach people about our patient population and how the money people donate really does help the patients.…

The response that I received was “You were not, do you know what is on that floor! People these day laying on the floor that is disgusting!”…

    Back in September we got told about our I.B. project and were given some example ideas. None of them seemed appealing to me, and I thought about what to do, I had so many ideas of what to do and found the one that best suited me which was to create a video game and have people play it around the world. I knew video games from the back of my mind so to create my very own video game and have people play it would be outstanding. Although it did have a flaw, I had no experience in making video games. I had a general idea of what to do but not enough to get me far.…
