Coming Weekend: A Personal Narrative

Decent Essays
If the coming weekend was declared technology free, I would play football, soccer and I would master riding my motorcycle. I have never participated in a football league, but my dad used to play when he was in college. On the weekend I would ask my dad to take me to an open field and teach me how to pass and catch the ball properly. I would invite my friends out to play so that I could show them what I learned and we could try out some plays. Next, I would go practice playing soccer. I used to play when I was little, everyone told me I was great and I loved playing. One thing that the coach never taught me was how to do cool tricks with the soccer ball, so that is what I would mainly practice. I would not only like to kick the ball around but

    I miss them already. Despite the freezing cold snow and the nipping air, we had a lovely Christmas break. As I inspect my child, now grown with children of her own, holding tickets back to their home, longing envelopes me. Hoards of people push past, unaware of my pain, on their own schedules and heading toward different trains, talking and texting on their cell phones. My family boards, time as if in slow-motion, and waves goodbye until I see them again.…

    The Blue Trailer Tromping up the wooden steps of our trailer, light blue paint chips off under my shoes. I swing open the front door and see the living room. Memories of family members sleeping over and birthday parties fill my mind. Carpet a light brown color, wallpaper that was at first white, but faded with age. The large TV takes up most of the room, along with the couch and leather chair.…

    The Sunday after Thanksgiving, I rather spontaneously---or perhaps, I’d like to think, by the work of the Holy Spirit---got on a night bus and went to church. I arrived at St. Mark’s Cathedral to a contemplative Eucharist in their beautiful chapel. It was soft and lovely and quiet. I love the quiet. I sought it out when I came to college in Seattle, living in “the big city” for the first time this fall, more than a little overwhelmed by the sheer number of people everywhere.…

    Friday Mornings I rushed my full stomach to my room and I pulled out the bottom of my semi formal clothings and pants drawer. Being the control freak that I am, I also picked out my brother’s outfit. My mother was kind enough to let me select my own outfit to school as a second grader. Enrolled in a small, private, and conservative Christian school, where the moms are very in everyone’s business; not many of my friends were allowed to pick out their “free friday” outfits. Although now, I wish my mother would restrict some of the things I wore.…

    Intro One of the nice things about growing up in Canada was that I was exposed to multiple cultures at a very young age. This has given me the upper hand when meeting people of different cultures in the United States. I am very fortunate to have a best friend who is from Eastern Europe and has welcomed me into her home on many occasions for me to experience their cultures. Valerie, or Valeriya, Khaletskaya is one of my very close friends who grew up in a cultural completely different then my own. Her cultural background is Russian, and her family still celebrates and performs all the cultures holidays and traditions, so I thought she would be the perfect candidate for my Summer Interview.…
