September 1st, 2016 started out as just a normal day. After arriving at my apartment from a long day of school, I decided to watch some T.V, since it was a gloomy day outside, until I needed to leave for dance practice. Then, I heard a ringing and looked down to see my best friend Sam’s name pop up on my phone to say that she was calling me. I answered the phone to see what she needed. Sam asked if she could swing by my apartment for a little while until I had to attend practice. I told her she could so, Sam said she was going to drive straight over. Sam finally arrived at my apartment after about five minutes, and I buzzed her in the door so she could walk upstairs to my apartment without me having to go downstairs. After Sam walked in

    By the time I got back up there the bell was going to ring and I would go down and eat lunch. The bell rang and we all rushed downstairs and sat down. After lunch my headache was gone so I didn’t go back to the office. I had E.L.A. for an hour, then I went to study hall for the rest of the day. When school got out at 3:25, Ava, my friend, came up to me and said “Mia, do you have any homework because if you don’t, you should come to my house.”…

    A.I believe the most challenging aspect of working in protective services would be not letting your career consume you physically and mentally. Knowing that there's such a great need out there and you're not always able to help when you want to,would be the most challenging aspect to me . You wouldn't think that it affects you, but it does. The emotional strain of the job and the desire to want to help everyone can be overwhelming.…

    This week was overwhelming. I live in Seminole, FL. and lost power very early Monday morning of September 11 and my power and cable was just restored yesterday, September 17.

    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.…

    When the opportunity came to find community service hours for my Human Growth and Development class, I knew I wanted to help out somebody who works hard to provide me safety. I talked to my dad after finding out I needed hours and he advised me to talk to the sheriff.

    “Let me win, but if I cannot win let me be brave in the attempt.” Many of the athletes I met used this quote as inspiration to get through some of the best weeks of their lives. Not only did they use this quote then, but they also continue to use it everyday. In the summer of 2015 I was given the opportunity of a lifetime.…

    Have you ever had something minor happen and multiple major things come out of it? I had an experience like that where I learned something interesting. It was an average Thursday, although it was a little hot for November, and it was recess time. I was running from my friend Connor when I decided to run under the slides, where a hornets nest happened to be right above.…

    It's 10:00 PM, and a woman is walking home alone. She has her keys clenched in her fist between her knuckles because she knows she always has to be on guard. "1 in 4 women," she thinks to herself, "it's only a matter of time. " It's midday, a black man is driving to work when he sees flashing lights in his rearview mirror. He pulls over, keeping his hands where the officer can see them.…

    I never thought I could feel so much happiness than when I knew I was impacting a child life for the better. I would rush home from school, change into my work uniform, and soak up as much sun as I possibly could knowing I wouldn’t see or feel its warmth for the rest of the day. My bleak attitude during depressing winter days completely revolved once I stepped into my classroom; every day thirteen chubby two-year old would run to me exclaiming how they missed me and how their scribbled drawings were just for me. Their parents saw my commitment and regularly told me stories about how their little one now knew the words “spectacular” and “illuminating” or they used the bathroom all by themselves singing the potty song I had made up the day before.…

    When I was eight years old, I moved from Manchester, MA to Fort Mill South Carolina. For the first five years, I absolutely hated it there and I despised my parents for making me move there. The first few years were rough; I felt like I didn’t fit in because I was from the north and I couldn't understand half of my teachers because of their thick southern accents. I struggled to make friends and couldn't wait to move to somewhere new someday By the time I was a freshman, my attitude changed; I fell in love with the place. I had popular in my grade, I had straight A’s…

    I remember the day I stepped onto the airplane in Ufa to the United States nine years ago. I was sitting next to another girl from my city, who was also flying to Williamsburg, Virginia to work and learn English. We talked for a little before take-off and I could see she was bursting with emotions and started to cry her eyes out. She was trembling with anxiety and fear, whimpering about how much she was leaving behind. In contrast, I sat in my seat very still, with a huge smile on my face, gleaming with anticipation of the adventure I was about to begin.…

    With the last of my Final Exams now finished and school officially ended, Summer had official begun. However, my Summer Vacation would not consist of long days spent at a beach or in an air conditioned room.

This vacation marked a new beginning for me, where I would have to obtain certain qualities to persevere through to the end. For me, the first day of my summer job was one of the most uncertain that I have ever experienced in my life.…

    This article is, in my opinion, an example of how personal narrative can sometime confuse the author’s purpose. In order to frame her arguments she discussed her experiences with her family, and specifically how she was born a twin to a stillborn sister. She explains her families lack of coping and how her family effected her life, but I failed to focus on the overarching idea that she wanted to get out because of how distracting the stories from her personal life are. Instead found myself thinking that her story was strangely personal without much justification for why it was this way. While the point of her article, the balance between truth and respect, was somewhat present overall, the sections of personal narrative that she decided to include muddled it.…

    A slight vibration echoes in the room where I spent my summer’s vacations; the humid air of West Virginia seemed to contribute to the anxiety that suddenly possessed my body. Just a few months ago seemed like a life time ago as my best friend promised to continue our friendship even after a nasty fight with jealousy. Hoping she would want to talk it out, my finger touched the accept button and heard her voice. Her familiar voice that I had made laugh when I told a joke, her voice that shook as she would pour out her problems on my shoulder. Her voice that was now distant and vacant.…
