Personal Narrative: A New Kid

Decent Essays
A new kid is at school today. He seems pretty nice, but he’s really quiet. He hasn’t really talked to anyone yet aside from teachers though. He looks a bit angry as well. I didn’t catch his name. I think it started with an S. Sean? Steven? Sam? Ah, the teacher just called on him. Silver, that’s his name. I need to be sure to remember that. I should probably get my notebook out…

I keep running late to my classes because I can’t find the rooms, and no one’s asked me if I needed any help. Whatever, it’s my first day, I have time to get to know the

    A third potential way I see this article by Jessica Lahey relating to me is as a future. I may be young, but not too young to think about how my upbringing and temperament may impact my future parenting style. I think myself and others my age should take this piece and think about the magnitude of the advice the author is offering. I do not want to be the mom who puts her children at a disadvantage by never letting them stand on their own two feet. I have a strong maternal instinct and desire to protect.…

    The Kindergartner who was outside to play unsupervised got into a fight. I was meant to watch how he was doing, do a lap and ask how he was playing, while outside he was running around and said, “They are telling secretes about me and they are not telling”. After that he ran away to the playground with the swings, and slide. I walked behind him trying to understand what was going on, as he ran as soon as he told me that statement. While walking up the steps in the slide one of the supposed kids who was telling secretes was in front of him.…

    Surrounded by a team of nurses, one doctor, and what seemed to be a grouping of blinding lights, I had a peculiar moment of serenity. I can’t quite explain whether it was the epidural or the fact that for twelve hours my body was engulfed by excruciatingly painful contractions which seemed to be attacking me in a sporadic manner, but in that one moment everything was perfect. Somehow I just let go off every single fear I had, I just remembered that in any moment there would be an extraordinary occurrence. Although a natural part in many women’s lives, since the beginning of time, it was a phenomenon in my life.…

    For my second entry of my integrative report I had another one-on-one interaction with Jacob, the three-year-old boy from my last entry. Jacob is a false name I will be using throughout this report for confidentiality purposes. This visit was very similar to my last visit as I babysat at the home of the child and we visited the park down the street. Much like the last time we played in the basement, which had lots of toys to play with and a television. Jacob is part of a traditional nuclear family as he has both a biological mother and father who he is dependent on (Shaffer, Kipp, Wood, & Willoughby, 2013, pg.…
