Personal Narrative: I Hate People

Superior Essays
I hate people. Every time I go anywhere, I am met with the reality that I have to deal with them every day of my life. It seems like every day, no matter where I am, is morons’ day out; I cannot escape them. I think I’ve been cut off at the same intersection about three times this week- I’ll admit, there is some road construction going on right now--and I’m sure that as soon as they finish repaving and widening, they are going to tear it up for a new water pipe or something, that way the road has some smooth spots, but it’s also very uneven and loud in some spots. Whatever. But anyway, people should still be able to use a turn signal once in awhile. I mean, honestly, the turn signal is just a simple device that has been around for many years; all you have to do is flick your wrist! That’s it! It’s not like you have to reach your arm out the window or something.
Also, there seems to be a

I was minding my own business in high school, still fed up with the congested hallways, with minimal effort, when somebody stumbled into my life. This ‘somebody’ happened to be a teacher. The year before, I had a great teacher; he helped me in so many ways. Some of the things he helped me with were just general projects, but a lot of it also had to do with boosting my confidence. The new teacher saw some of his old practices as a threat of sorts… so basically, the new teacher decided that she didn’t like the way things were taught before, so she completely undid everything. Everything that multiple people (the old teacher, myself, and other students had spent hours working on) worked on, was destroyed. I had a lot of respect for the last teacher, and I had a good relation with him; he gave me freedom to learn things a different way and I think I learned more in one period of that class than I would in a week of other classes. However, the new teacher felt it was her responsibility to make the class ‘different’ (I guess she had a vision or

    To the ones who believe asking, “What are you?” is a valid conversation starter, I am multiracial and proud, but to simplify my ethnicities to others when asked, I identify myself as Asian. I was stereotyped because of how we are perceived in media and society. I spent years cowering in my own skin because others made me believe I was not Asian because of the size of my eyes, the color of my hair, and my personal interests. I was ashamed of what I looked like since I was convinced it embodied who I am as a person.…

    When I was in the fourth grade I accidentally stepped on a girls book-bag when I was walking behind her on our way outside. She turned around and said to me,”That’s why I don’t like white people.” When I was ten years old, I went to a party at my cousin’s house and while I was getting a cupcake a girl who lived next door said to me, “You don’t belong here this is a white…

    Yes, I am funny because I make jokes and make people laugh. When I'm shy, I don’t act funny. I'm kind, I don’t be rude to people, I help people out if they need help. Yes sometimes when I didn’t take my pill. Sometimes when I get mad I damage things.…

    Chloe was not a “bad student”. In my focus on pleasing the teacher and only doing as asked I had forgotten about my humanity and role to be there for the students. Chloe was frequently distracted, needing a sip of water from her tiny tightly-sealed Costco water bottle, a manual pencil sharpener, a trip to the bathroom, towels to…

    Flaws: Internal and External The day I found my rash, I did not know it would be a life long struggle. I remember my family telling me that it was just a rash and that it would go away, it never did. It may not seem like a significant problem, but at 7 years old it was. This led me to see that everyone has their flaws, big or small.…

    Not wanting to make her job and life as it is, I went to my desk and sat down, waiting for everyone else to settle down. After about five minutes, kids started to sit down in their seats. Once everyone was seated, the teacher began to drone on about the rules, don't run, don’t fight, don’t kill anyone yada yada yada, common sense. After zoning out for a while the teacher announced that we were having some free time to interact with everyone. I shakily stood up at walk to the carpeted area of the room where everyone else went to.…

    Growing up, I never thought of myself as racist nor did I ever think when as I grew up in Knoxville that anyone continues to have racist attitudes, I just went with the ebb and flow of the culture and never question anything about it. As I continued my education in a predominately white public high school in West Knoxville, we did learn about the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement, however, we simply consumed the knowledge but never did we think, nor were we encouraged to apply the principle of justice in our daily lives and relationships. Then, as I grew older and gained more interest in what happens in the world outside of my literal view I learned more about the present violence and racist acts happening in our country today. When I was…

    Situations like the one I was in happen in classrooms across the country every day. Although there is no simple solution, there are techniques that we can use to go about beginning to solve this major problem in the education system. Some of the ways we can fix this issue is to have teachers be held more accountable for their actions, be observed in a way that they can’t prepare for, and be given seminars on how to be objective towards their students. My experience with that English teacher taught me a lesson that I will never forget.…

    Who am I? For some people the answer to this question is simple. They are able to answer this question without much thought. However, while some find solace and pride in answering this thought provoking question, it has always stirred in me a feeling of angst and confusion. These uncomfortable feelings emerged because of my interracial background and upbringing.…

    The doctor’s office was never a fun place to be. I sat in room 2 with my mom and dad, this was a regular 3 month checkup. I glanced at the clock and our appointment had started right on time as the doctor walked in at 12 o’clock noon. My endocrinologist, Dr. Miller, was very friendly and he always gave off a very relaxed and calm vibe. He began with his regular routine, he took my blood pressure, and tested my A1C.…

    My whole life I’ve been a little different. From the clothes I wear and the way I present myself, to the way I look at the world, I’ve always been somewhat peculiar. Not peculiar in a bad way, but in an interesting, provocative kind of way. I am the weird greenish-yellow crayon in the box that no one ever uses. I was born in Anchorage, Alaska.…
