Personal Narrative Essay: Why It's Wrong?

Improved Essays
As my mother would tell me on a daily basis "do not cheat". Growing up I would always listen to my mother about everything, but on Friday January 13, 2012 was the day I went against my mother's wishes, and boy did that backfired back in my face.
It was Thursday night, several hours before the math test that I have been stressing and sweating about. As I flipped through the pages in my math textbook, I heard a knock on my door it was my mother with a calm and soothing look on her face. She walked in and sat on the corner of my bed and asked me "honey what's wrong?" using half of my upper body power I spun around lightly to face her, and say " I don't understand what I'm learning mom, and I'm going to fail my test tomorrow" The room was quiet

    Going through the sophomore hallway wasn’t really my preference at all, but I needed to avoid Sarah who was already trying to follow me. Knowing the most common place I would be in was near the vending machines by the lockers, I took a different direction to get past her. The next class I had was English Literature. Daniel and the others were on the other side of the school building so I wouldn’t be seeing any of them if I had decided to pass through the lower class hallways. I didn’t really know what else to be looking forward to the rest of the day, as it was coming to an end with two classes left.…

    In the book, On Fire, John O’Leary is always encouraging us to “take off our mask” and really get to know each other. In my, My Journey paper, I could have dived deeper and “taken off my mask” in it to let people know what has really happened in my life. It has always been a hard topic to talk about, but as I have gotten older it has become easier to open up about. John O’Leary made it clear in On Fire by saying, “It’s time to embrace your story and to celebrate the amazing miracle of your life” (O 'Leary, Page 51).…

    I have long been confused with pre-attached or post-attached defining boundaries on family relationships. I say the words “half” and “step” can be unsettling; and as I would like to think—are not necessary when there is genuine love, caring and sense of belonging. I remember the first two years after my daughters and I arrived here in the United States from the Philippines as the most challenging years of my life living abroad. Not only was there a huge language barrier between my children, and my step childrenr—but there were also name labeling (i.e.stepmom, stepsister and half-brother), envy, and territorialism and sibling rivalries. From children battling for space, wicked stepmom, annoying stepsisters, and half-brother—stealing dad’s love…
