Personal Narrative: Forget Shakespeare

Improved Essays
Forget Shakespeare, I’m going to be an engineer. I consider myself a very math and science oriented person; I am not a social studies or English person. I have problems memorizing dates and remembering what Louis the 14th did during his reign. And I can't think of thesis statements off the top of my head, instead it takes me hours of rewriting and crossing things out. I do, however, know how to use data. I love learning about the world around us from the smallest cells in biology, to imploding suns in the earth sciences. Or the sense of accomplishment I get from finishing a difficult math problem and see how different mathematical ideas begin to build on each other. This is why I have a reason and fact-based mind.
Even with my appreciation

    I started this final with this question because it was playing on my mind at this moment. The Book of Tea, was something I needed. There are many things going on in my life that I have kept quiet about. My son’s complications from surgery, my daughter’s complete mental breakdown, my husband’s heart attack, and my severe flu, which I had to ignore to care for others, all occurred within a month and a half’s time. I have found no joy in study, which normally makes me shake with excitement.…

    The Delusive Dramatist from Myslenice The girl sat in the corner of the train car, she rotated from rocking herself back and forth in a fetal position and singing to herself softly. Every once in awhile she would pull out her notebook and scribble in it, only when she was sure that no one else was looking, or so she thought. All hours of the day she spoke to herself, setting a tense scene, I could feel the lies as she spoke them, nothing she told herself was true. She knew it, I knew it, but it seemed to be the only thing she had left.…

    When I was in elementary and middle school I didn't really have a subject preference. I was just okay at every subject and I couldn't find myself interested in anything particular. I didn't feel lost because I had plenty of time to decide what I wanted for myself that would make me happy. After a certain point in my life though, I have always had a preference for English, a preference that I didn't act on until recently.…

    Now I could lie and make up stuff that made me like reading and writing but I see no point in that. Honestly I don’t have a lot of memories of reading and writing from when I was a little kid and I can tell you now that football hasn’t helped me at remembering those memories either. With that being said I do remember some memories, some are good and also bad.…

    Sitting under dark blue sky getting the whiff of freshly mowed grass was enchanting looking back trying to figure out where I went wrong ‘Why did he do this to me? How could I be so naive? He knew from the beginning that all I ever wanted was the truth’. My palace under the stars was almost like I could reach up and grab them, it hypnotized me. I was talking to one of my really good friends, Miriam, late at night just sitting on the queen size bed in my room.…

    My experiences over the last six years living in NYC have shaped me into the approachable and compassionate person I am today. I have been immersed in a melting pot with many different culturally and economically diverse populations. These unique experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to gain valuable communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I searched out opportunities to give back and help the people in my community both in volunteering in hospitals, educating high school students, and interning in private practices. I even traveled with the organization Medlife, setting up a medical clinic to provide basic medical care and education to people in the poor and underserved communities surrounding Lima, Peru.…

    I’ve always had the impression that fairytales were innocent stories of finding true love and living happily ever after, like the way Disney depicted them to be. I never thought about where these stories came from and the different themes and symbols that were relevant of that time. Some of the things I’ve learned about fairytales have not only shocked me, but has also made me reevaluate everything I know about fairytales. Something I never knew about fairytales is that they weren’t always for children. I’ve always associated them with a younger audience so thinking that these stories were written for adults enjoyment is really crazy to believe.…
