Personal Narrative-I Went To ISS

Decent Essays
The first time i went to ISS i was in kindergarten. I went to ISS for cutting someone with scissors. When i went to ISS for the first time i was with my best friend alex, and all we did was talk and mess around. But when i started getting older ISS was like torture, and it’s so boring now. All you do is just sit there and be quiet for the rest of the day, no friends, no one to talk to, cameras everywhere, and the teachers watching you 24/7. You can only go to the restroom 3 times a day, and they search your pockets, your shoes, and your backpack. The teacher use to have this thing that check if you had any metal on you, and you use to not be able to bring a watch or anything like that. I’ve been to ISS a lot, I’m barely 13 and i’ve been to

    I was only 14 when I went on my mission trip, but experiencing that such a young age has shaped me for who I am. I was involved in three mission trips, which all occurred in the States, but in all three-mission trips I helped people who I believe needed it most. I was proud of what I did and I think it was something that not a lot of people did at my age. One of my biggest motivators were the people I was helping. After going on my first trip, I had bonded with others and had made me realize what the real world is like outside a small town in Iowa.…

    I have experienced many stressful situations recently my organization, however none have compared to stress I experiences leading up to my deployment to Iraq. When I joined the Oregon National Guard, I was told to never go to the 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team (41 IBCT), made up of two Infantry Battalions, a Calvary Battalion, a Field Artillery Battalion, Support Battalion and the Headquarters. I was also told that I should especially never want to work in 2nd Battalion of the 162nd Infantry (2-162 IN BN), which was the strongest of the two Infantry elements in the brigade. After working in the state Joint Force Headquarters for eight years, because no other person in my career field would take the position, I was asked to take one for the team, and join 2-162 IN BN, as their Senior Human Resources Noncommissioned Officer. Two years leading up to the deployment I was continually tested, and these experience have ultimately made me a stronger leader.…

    The world is an ever-changing continuum; therefore, it is our responsibility to constantly adapt in order to thrive. During my personal and educational experiences, I have had to endure one of the biggest challenges for an adolescent: moving from a country in the Far East to the Land of the Free. When I immigrated here, I spoke no more than three words in English. Through extensive immersion learning, I transformed from a new immigrant to attending Honors courses in a few months. Although this rapid transition occurred in 2008, my adaptability to an evolving situation has not faded; it is the same adaptability that will translate into success in analyzing foreign affairs.…

    My first major mission, a young 18 year old, the lead gunner behind a M240B as the first line of defense for our platoon; would soon be a situation that left an imprint in my life and has forever changed how I now lead as an NCO. This mission took place in 2007 near the city of Ad Dawr, Iraq. The mission was complex but my orders were simple, protect the convoy and provide security. The main objective was to expose and detain (if possible) a cell leader to include destroying his know cache point. Although the mission it-self went rather well a series of events would soon unravel and would give me a new perspective on how stress and a very political time in the war would make even the best of leaders fold under pressure.…

    In the rural valley of Panguerstee, nestled in the mountains of Bulgaria, education was not emphasized. From generation to generation, a woman’s success was measured by how many children she bore, and a man achieved manhood only after joining the military. The slow process of modernization in the village helped preserve these alarming beliefs. I was raised by a father who had an 8th grade education, and a mother who struggled to bring-up three girls. Needless to say, my life completely changed when my family won the green card lottery and immigrated to the United States.…

    The Plane Ride When I was nine my family started a move from the tranquil suburbs of San Jose, California to the desert city of Windhoek, Namibia, located in southern Africa. My parents were taking myself, along with my younger sister and brother, around the globe because they felt a calling from God to be missionaries. All of our possessions were sold off, including my much beloved toys, until everything we had could fit into eight large suitcases. These suitcases are what we carried to the airport as we prepared for our journey. I felt no small amount of apprehension and excitement in what lay ahead of me in the new country, but an event I would experience in the coming flight would forever change and shape my perspective of how I see the…
