Social Butterfly-Personal Narrative

Superior Essays
The word “Alienated” is used to describe something or someone who is a cast off meaning the person or object has been abandoned or is no longer wanted. I am the opposite of alienated, in fact, the most common word used to describe me is a social butterfly. I delight in having a conversation with anyone and everyone; because of this trait, I am able to form friendships easily. My social skills developed all thanks to my mother. As a child, I attended a Catholic pre-school that she taught at. She turned this into a beneficial situation by presenting me to every kid at the school. She introduced me to public speaking, acting, and dancing, making me a kid with great social skills.

The summer before my 8th-grade year, my mom remarried and

I stepped into the shower; a chill went up my spine while goose bumps arose from my skin as my feet touched the cold plastic tub, but none of that mattered because it was my first day of school. As the steam from my hot shower fogged up the mirror, my mother interrupting my shower, knocked loudly. “Megan, breakfast is almost ready!!! Get out of the shower!” she shouted, loud enough for the entire neighborhood to hear. Indeed, breakfast was almost ready since the aroma of freshly squeezed orange juice and pancakes seemed to fill the house. I picked out a new pair of Hollister jeans, a purple shirt that I thought it was to die for and a simple pair of black flats. I fixed my ponytail and I was ready to take on my first day of school. I drank my glass of orange juice and ate the most mouth-watering stack of pancakes I have ever …show more content…

I, on the other hand, had the event and comments stuck in my brain like a record on repeat playing over and over. After what seemed like a century, but really was only 45 minutes, the bell rang. I walked while staring at the floor to my Social Studies class. My teacher was a white man who had no hair on his head but had a full beard, which I thought was hilarious, named Mr. Circle (who ended up being my driving instructor a few years later.) The exact situation repeated itself again but in this case, it was much worse. The classroom had 22 seats, but there were 25 students in the class. Talk about underfunded schools, am I

With our advisors and the vice principal leaning towards canceling the event, my council had two choices: get eight more teams to sign up or call off the event. I didn’t want to cancel because I knew that as Junior and Senior year approached, we needed more money to fund our proms and class trips.…

    After watching some gameplay videos for the new ps4 game Until Dawn, I was reminded of a strange term I had once heard, the butterfly effect. Upon seeing this, I decided to do some research to find out more about it. The Chaos theory more commonly called the butterfly effect summarized by Edward Lorenz is a branch of mathematics that deals with complex systems whose behaviour is highly sensitive to slight changes in conditions, so that small alterations can give rise to strikingly great consequences. With this, I thought a many life decisions that I had made, both large and small and thought of how they affected my life and how different my life would be if I had chosen to take another path. I am a Christian and with further thought, came to…

    Fifth grade is a cardinal year; an important milestone in everyone’s life, especially mine. With the first day approaching, and the warm summer of 2009 coming to a close, many of my peers were bursting from the seams with excitement as well as harmless cockiness; we had earned our positions as the top dogs at Pineville Elementary! With my fresh, glossy folders and binders and notebooks, and an outfit I picked out all by myself ready to go, I assured my mom she didn't have to walk me to my class on the first day. Being a fifth grader now, I couldn't have my mom embarrassing me; she did, however, steal a few quick pictures of me walking into the school. As eager as I felt about being an almost-middle-schooler, fifth grade meant something else to me.…
