Personal Narrative: Mrs. Schipper

Decent Essays
So many ordinary heroes go unnoticed. They never ask for any thanks or recognition. They are the people who put others before themselves. Mrs. Schipper, a teacher at Gehlen Catholic, does exactly this. Everyone around Mrs. Schipper says she is one of the nicest people they know. She is always ready to listen to students and give her advice on the problem. Whatever you need she is always willing to give a hand. She even allows students to wait in her room when they have nowhere else to go after school. I have spent many hours in that room waiting for my practices. Her room is reminds many students of a safe haven. You are always welcome. She is also the head of Christian Leadership team which plans all faith related activities at Gehlen Catholic.

We’ve just uncovered a new sarcophagus,” remarked Sarah as she passed by, carrying a large coffin.…

    Sally Burt is the kindest woman you could ever meet. Many take her kindness for weakness, because she tends to be very passive, but don’t let her fool you, because she does have a feisty side. She is fifty-six years of age, but has the vitality of a twenty-six year old. She has dark brown eyes that sparkle every time she speaks; her light brown skin glows ever so radiantly as the sun hits her; she has thick, brown, short hair that caresses her shoulders. Her loving smile can brighten up anyone’s day; she stands tall at 5’6, and walks proudly, while loving her voluptuous curves.…

    I really appreciate Cathy Small’s appreciation and respect for the Tongan people and culture. Our family like so many immigrants have a great story and journey to America. My relationship with Cathy I would say is professional in nature. As an Anthropologist she tries to remain objective. Her approach to her study takes Humanistic approach to anthropology, as Ivan Brady suggests, “must be creative, eager to search everywhere and to account for the greatest array of happenings, and willing to reach out to alternate narrative forms.…

    In the discombobulation of day to day life, all types of people are going to try to knock you down. This hardship was experienced personally by Brenda Roza as she realized that “there may not be that person next to you that's going to speak up for you”. There is no reason for strangers being malicious, to try to knock other people down when they’re not even known to you. Regardless, it is imperative that you are able to defend yourself- just as Brenda Roza did. Having been told throughout her entire life that she couldn’t do certain things, Brenda thought that that being a successful person might be beyond reach to her - impossible.…

    During the eighteen years I have lived my experiences have been fairly sheltered. I have never traveled out of the country, eaten exotic foods, or gone skydiving; consequently, I haven’t met many people of special interest. Not to say the people I have met are not interesting, on the contrary, most of the people I have come to know all have their own unique stories and experiences; however, I never did meet anyone quite like Miss May. To this day I can’t pinpoint what exactly it was about her that intrigued me so much, maybe it was her rich brown hair and almond-shaped eyes, or how she pronounced candy more like “kehn-dee”, or it definitely could have been the way her eyes lit up when she smiled—still she will always remain a mystery to me.…

I remember walking into a dome shaped room, where I played with the beads on the wires until a nurse called me into the back.…
