Personal Narrative: Anytime Bear

Decent Essays
Anytime Bear Bear was in my hand, my thumb was in my mouth. No matter where I was or what I was doing and I had no idea why but anytime I had her I felt the urge to do it. That was definitely something that made me feel peaceful. My dad on the other hand hate when I did it. So when I turned 9, it was his mission to get me to stop. Anytime he saw me sucking away like a baby with a bottle, I got in trouble. At first they couldn´t stop me, they tried everything! Medicine to apply to the thumb that has a bitter taste, nope didn't work. Nail polish remover, that didn't work either. Anything that was bitter or gross, still didn't work. My parents were convinced nothing could stop me, until I turned 10. They told me that if people at school knew I

    The momma bear tilts her had, staring at me through angry eyes. I can almost imagine the thoughts whirling around in her huge, furry head. She's wondering if I'm a threat to her baby, protecting him like any mother should do. The cubs quite a bit smaller, with light brown fur and ears that pop up over her head. He doesn't seem afraid of me, more like curious, wanting to explore more then fight.…

    The Hunted I didn’t know who I was. I woke up next to a bunch of muddy kids. They all smelled like they haven't showered in weeks. There was two twins, a chubby kid, and probably the skinniest kid I’ve ever seen. Then I realized I smelled just like them.…

    Every Life Matters I really only started understanding the meaning of abortion once one of my mom’s friends had one. Before that I had very little knowledge about abortion. My parents have always taught me to stand by what I believe and that others may have different beliefs. They always told me that I would meet people that would disagree with me and what I believe not only when it came to these kind of topics but many other things as well. Being told that, they told me to always respect people’s beliefs and their points of view because everyone has the right to stand by what they believe, just like I do.…

    I took a hike on the High Acres nature path, with my Mom, Sister and golden retriever, Tobey. When I first entered the trail, the path started really wide and began to get narrower. Along both sides of the trail were big tall weeds hanging over and rubbing against you. When we were getting close to the pond you could hear the different types of birds chirping, grasshoppers clicking, and bullfrogs croaking. We approached our first intersection, and decided to go left on to the old, white, wooden bridge.…

    “You can start whenever you’re ready” The boy looked down at his pale, shaking hands, then up at the ceiling. Anywhere except for the man with the clipboard in front of him. They had told him that if he came here, they would leave him alone. He took that to mean no more blinding lights being shown in his face, no more fake smiles, no more lies. “My mom made me some sandwiches.…

    When I had finally reached the river, I realized that I had navigated my way back down the hills that made up Mt. Harrison’s base slightly askew from the path that I’d taken on my trip up, and was now a lot closer to the walking bridge that I had elected not to use earlier when I’d chosen the downed oak tree to cross instead. Looking back behind me, I saw that the black cat had followed me through the forest and down the hillsides. But, as I crossed the bridge (which was only a few feet wide) I looked back to see if my feline friend was still with me but she was now nowhere in sight, having disappeared back into the woods again. I wanted to call out to her to see where she might have gone, but then I realized that I didn’t have a…

    The bear looked at Titus, then up in the trees at the owl, then back to Titus again the bear got down on all four legs, turned and walked off. “Wow, either the wand worked, or we don’t look very tasty,” Titus said, as he looked up into the trees toward Hootie. After traveling higher up the mountain, Titus and his two companions came to a grassy meadow. Urging the mule to a big rock, “This,” Titus said to the mule as he dismounted, “Is where we will spend the night.” Taking a string and a hook from his pouch, he looked up at Hootie and said," I’ll catch us some fish for dinner tonight.”…

    In the past I have tried Positive reinforcement by using the “no-bight” nail polish that make my nails taste nasty, it worked in the short run but eventually extinction of the reinforcement led to the habit coming back. So this time around I am going to schedule the reinforcements based of a variable ratio but instead I plan to include some negative reinforcement as well. The biggest problem for me is that I do not realize I’m doing it, which according to Doctor Fred Penzel is common amongst nail bitters. According to Penzel “Some do it in an automatic way, as if they are in a trance and not really thinking about what they are doing” (Penzel, 2008, para. 4) fortunately for me my parents always call me out on it. Every time my parents catch me biting my nails they harass me for it…
