Personal Narrative Essay: The Journey Of A Thousands Miles '

Decent Essays
The Journey of a thousands miles begins a single step (Lao Tzu). This amazing quote reminds me of my own experiences over my life that changed me and maybe my future. My first experience that I learned from, was that if I don't do dumb things in school or out of school, I will have no consequences or be doing poorly in school, but last year I got ISS in 7th grade for 2 days in a row, just because I had this friend and we used to pretend that we were boxing so one day we were pretending to box while the teacher was with us but the funny thing that I didn’t know was that she was looking at us, so what we did was a jocular mistake because the last word I heard from her was “Go to the office, now”! she was like a dynamite being lit up, she …show more content…
Let me tell you it did not go really sturdy for me because my parents didn’t like the grade which they also went boom!, which I led to me being grounded for what I had for a grade. Also I had to focus really hard in class to get my grade up. On that day forward I actually cared a lot about getting my grade up so what I did was that every night I would mostly study for an hour or so, because if one day I have a test or quiz I would get that grade up by a bit. So after a week, we had a test about the holocaust, so all of that time of studying and working really hard, it all paid off because by the end of the year when we left school I ended up with a grade of A for science and B for language …show more content…
On the first day, me and my friends joined, we were playing a game on two fields, but after switching sides the opposite team look pretty good, but than what me and my friends noticed was that they were playing way, way too harsh, because they were pushing and tripping my teammates until there all the way on the floor, so what I did was so speechless because after a while I was doing the same thing they were doing, so after one opponent had the ball I came really hard on him that it was like two cars colliding into each other, but in that second I didn't know how it happen that the next thing I knew was that my ankle splinted for the first time in my life “OUCH”! I screamed so loud that it was like a lightning coming out from the clouds. So when I forgot all about that whole horrifying feeling, I called my dad and told me to take me home. So after a couple of months I started to play again but not to uncomplicated or too

    I remember in fourth grade my teacher insisted that we come to school the following day dressed as we would in our dream career. In that moment, I realized how I enjoyed creating new ideas and designing fashion. I then reminisced on the day I got my first Barbie. I use to mix and match her clothing with previous dolls I owned. I wanted all my Barbies to look original, unlike most little girls who bought their matching clothes in a plastic pack.…

    The Grades Challenge Freshman year was a difficult year for my grades. I was failing a few classes and it seemed like the harder I focused on the percentage, the farther I got away from it. I talked to my teachers about how I could try to get my grades up and was simply told “you won’t get a better grade.” I was stuck with what I had is what I was told, and they ended up being right about that year. I was worried that maybe something was wrong; maybe I wasn’t as smart as I used to be.…

    Long, wide roads, small houses, and steel fences were my view as I walked into an unfamiliar building called Thomas Jefferson Middle School. I did not know anything about the culture or the language; a huge chill came over me, which I have never felt before. I felt goose bumps as I first walked in the building. The building was old and was not well cared for. The colors of the walls were fading and the elevators made the sound of a dying animal when it moved.…

    Angie Margai-Renner September 6th, 2015 Ms. Winn English 2 Angie’s Personal Narrative I’ve always considered myself as a cracked egg because once an egg is cracked it’s impossible for it to be pieced back together. I came out of my shell during the end of my 5th grade year towards my 6th grade year. First and foremost before we get that far this is how it all began. I was born in Freetown, Sierra Leone; a really small country located in West Africa.. I lived there until I was 8 during one sunny afternoon when you could hear the weary cows, stray dogs scream the sound of uneasiness and footsteps approaching into the compound carrying what at the time was bad news.…

    Nearly every summer and winter break of my childhood was spent in the heart of Tillamook Country— a small coastal community called Neskowin. My family would gather with a rotating pool of close relatives in our favorite beach rental, dubbed the Octagon House for its distinct shape, central fire pit, and wrap around porch. For the children, the vast beaches served as open fields for soccer and football. The coarse sand an open canvas for castle blueprints and secret messages. Sand dollars switched hands as if they were currency.…

    Remember the last time you were at a casino and you heard all that yelling at the craps table and wondered “what are they yelling about”, but you never ventured over there because you are too intimidated by craps. You’re not the only one. I used to watch from a distance trying to figure out what was going on, people were throwing chips everywhere yelling all sorts of crazy jargon (“press”, “same bet”, “hard 8”, “odds”) all while the dealers are moving chips all over the place paying people and taking other people’s money. What a crazy and intimidating game.…
