Personal Narrative: It's Thanksgiving

Decent Essays
It's Thanksgiving evening. My family and relatives sit around our table, decorated with cartoon turkeys and fall leaves. A big, juicy turkey sits in the middle of the table with gravy and cranberry sauce by it’s side. We go around the table, stating what we are thankful for. “I am thankful for...” When I think about what I’m thankful for, the list could go on and on. It seems practically never ending! On my list of thankful topics, three things are right at the top, my family, my education, and our country. First off, my family plays a big part in my life and I love spending time with them. My mom helps our entire family every day. She always gets up early to drive my brother to the bus stop, and myself to school. After, she works very hard

Although psychology is used every minute of every day i 'm only going to talk about 5 concepts, persuasion, cognition, emotion, personality, and the self.…

    Friday Mornings I rushed my full stomach to my room and I pulled out the bottom of my semi formal clothings and pants drawer. Being the control freak that I am, I also picked out my brother’s outfit. My mother was kind enough to let me select my own outfit to school as a second grader. Enrolled in a small, private, and conservative Christian school, where the moms are very in everyone’s business; not many of my friends were allowed to pick out their “free friday” outfits. Although now, I wish my mother would restrict some of the things I wore.…
