Personal Narrative Behavioral Analysis

During this exercise I had a normal conversation with a close friend of mine. I set up the room in such a way that two chairs were facing each other with nothing in between us that would act as a barrier. I found it easy to sit square because this is how I often sit. I found it more difficult to have an open posture without crossing my arms, or putting my hands together, or in my lap. Instead I place my hands on my legs which seemed uncomfortable at first. When it came to leaning forward, this was the most difficult part. I usually sit with my back against the chair, or if there was a table in front of me I would lean onto it. Since there was no table it did feel awkward to me to lean forward. I am usually good at making eye contact, but it

    Technology has developed so much over the years that we have relied on it so much. Technology is used in pretty much everything we use nowadays. Living in a neighborhood was the greatest advantage, but having kids the same age as I was even better. There was never a time we weren't outside: rain, shine, snow, miserably cold, or even scorchingly hot. There was 4 of us: 3 girls and 1 guy, all around the same age.…

    Firstly, I noticed that my body posture seems to be very tense and that I am a bit nervous. Good posture will show the interviewer that you are prepared, professional, and confident. So sitting straight in the chair and keeping your head high as you walk in, on the other hand, do not let the interviewer see you slouched in the chair while you are waiting, so stay on your best behavior even when you think they are not watching. This can also be connected with fidgeting, which makes you seem nervous and it can show a lack of self-esteem and confidence. So even if I might have been sitting up straight, I was still tense and not at ease with myself.…

    Although I've tried to completely focus on school during my high school career, I experienced a couple roadblocks throughout these four years. The summer before sophomore year, I decided to get a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy and a liver biopsy. This surgery and procedure were extremely hard to go through.

    During my nine years of elementary and middle school, I attended a small charter school with less than one hundred fifty students total K-8. I had most of the same classmates year after year, and the same outdoor school campus and teachers. With the exception of a few students who came and went, most of us were together through eighth grade. In those nine years, I made friends with these classmates and had a small school experience. We spent time playing in the creeks and using the many outdoor classrooms.…

    “Peter, can you explain what this is?” hissed Mrs. Dickerson, handing me my report card. Butterflies swarmed in my stomach as she sat down in front of me, her intimidating dark, red lips and leering eyes pierced through my soul. The letter “D” next to the words “Math 7,” imprinted onto the lifeless piece of paper. There was a momentary pause as I looked down at the ground, searching my scattered mind for an adequate answer. Instead of giving an answer, however, my hands started to move towards my face, sobbing in misery.…

    It seems the older you get the more privileges you get and the more freedom you can have to do almost whatever you want. I remember when I was in elementary school my first day of third grade, it was the day I had waited for since my first day in elementary school. Every year prior to that we had recess on the boring playground meant for the little kids. The playground had a slide smaller than a wheelchair ramp going into a building. It only had two swings that were so low to the ground you could not even do an underdog.…

    There is an instinctive decision that everyone has inside them; this is called fight or flight. I overcame this instinct when I was in the seventh grade. I was not a fighter and I never wanted bad blood with anyone. I found that if I am kind to everyone that I became the sheep in front of the wolf. These realizations were made a little late.…

    What do Leonardo Da Vinci, Bill Clinton, and I all have in common? Active participation in procrastination—a practice frowned upon in today’s society, but not even Noah of the Ark could have prepared for the imposing amount of water on my already heavily-saturated carpets. You would think that a mini ocean within one's bedroom would lead to a rotten seed. On the contrary, delaying the much-needed waterproofing of our house gave root to and was the direct catalyst for the independent adult I am today. The flood damaged most of my possessions, left my room dangerous and smelling of mold, and devastated what I called home, but it couldn’t have been a better example of a blessing in disguise.…

    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.…
