I am terrible at throwing things. If someone says "toss me that pen" it usually ends up three feet short or it goes soaring over their head.
I can't recall the names of people I just met a few minutes ago, but if you need me to recite a quote from a movie or a commercial jingle that I haven't heard in ten years then I'm your

Personal Narrative: The Ultimate Frisbee

Sometimes even if it wasn’t near me, I could sprint to where it was going to land and make an awesome play. I did, however, have a significant downfall- I could not throw further than six feet. I did not want to throw it at all because I was so bad at it. If I can catch the disc to make a play, it doesn’t matter if I can’t make a…

Personal Narrative: Too Legit

In the middle of my sophomore year, I was asked by a senior if I would like to be the president of a dance club they had started that year. The club members knew that I was apart of a well known dance studio. I was indecisive primarily because the club only had 3 members and so I did not know how I could make it into something starting off alone and young, but something told me to just go for it. And that I did.…

Personal Narrative: Faulty Decision Making

I refrain from making hasty decisions, a trait that’s made it easier to manage time and keep my life organized. It’s not that I don’t enjoy some spontaneity, just that I’ve had experience with faulty planning. I like to consider as many details and possible outcomes of a situation before making a decision; in fact, I believe it’s my best characteristic. Thinking things through allows me to make sound, satisfying choices in both my academic and social life. It is a practice that has saved me from careless mistakes on math tests and kept my activities.…

Confidence Obstacles-Personal Narrative Analysis

During CCBT, I had to overcome a physical and mental obstacle. While at the Confidence Obstacle Course, I had to overcome fears I did not know I had; earlier in the day, I climbed a thirty foot obstacle and wasn’t scared but the Tarzan was different. The obstacle had three tiers of logs which stood at varying height five, ten, and fifteen feet above the ground in ascending order that lead to a twenty foot tall monkey bar set; It sounds easy right? At least that was what I thought. At first I was confident in my abilities and mindset that I could easily finish the Tarzan, but shortly after starting fear tried to get the best of me.…

Personal Narrative: My False Promises

I managed to reach a point where I began making false promises to myself and others about addressing my situation. Among those empty promises was the one where I claimed I would give up drinking, attend rehab and try to get my life back on track. I even fiddled with the thought of seeking inpatient assistance if things weren't working as planned. Let's be clear and fair.…

Personal Narrative: My Personal Ethics

I would like to believe that I learned my personal ethics from my family more importantly my parents. Growing up my parents thought me many things that had several messages attached to them. Those messages I now use on a daily basis most importantly in my career. One of the ethics that I could remember is to be caring and loyal friend, neighbor, family, or co-worker. Having these two ethicses has guided me to the field of psychology and is still helping me.…

Personal Narrative: Nothing Is Not Fair

My dad doesn't understand me, and he doesn't let me speak what I think. He doesn't let me defend myself even if he knows it is a topic that he does not know about. And he doesn't let me prove my point if we argue, which is not fair in my case at all. When my father knows that I have proven him wrong and have made a fool out of him, he walks away with a threat and an awkward eye glare. I get nothing other than the tons of insults he throws at me and the heartache I get as I see the one I love fighting with me so much.…

Personal Narrative: Nothing Is Ever As It Seems

Nothing Is Ever As It Seems “Why do you look so much older than everyone else's parents?” That was the question that I was always asking my parents. My mom, Bernadette and my dad, Michael are about 30 years older than the average parents of kids my age. One day, I got home from elementary school, and my mom decided to finally answer my question. “Chastity, you know how you always ask why we look older?…

The Arrival I had originally planned to travel to Rio on September 5th through September 12th. A perspicacious and experienced hunter named Rainsford accompanied me. It was nighttime when I first spotted land of any sort. It was vaguely visible and was opaque, so misty that even Rainsford couldn’t see it. Utterly tired, I began drifting off, dreaming of the adventures we were soon to face.…

Personal Narrative: How I Has Ruined My Life

I have worked all my life. After my parents split my mother depended heavily on her work as a seamstress to pay the bills. I remember being seven years old staying up until 12am on a school night to help my mother trim threads off clothing. Fast forward to my pre-teen years, my mother, my two younger siblings, and I would cram into a Toyota minivan headed towards the city of Fontana to sell clothing on the weekends. A summer break was unheard of to me.…

Personal Narrative Essay: I Am A Perfectionist

I am a perfectionist. Ever since I was young, my parents have always pressured me to achieve the very best in life. My parents got divorced before I was born and they always told me that I could be anything I wanted as long as it was a better life than the one they had growing up. This has caused my childhood to be plagued with a desire to succeed in everything I do. I get irritated by the idea that I have achieved anything less than a B as a grade or the fact that I am even five minutes late to anything.…
