Personal Narrative: My Cliff Bar

Decent Essays
A big game at the Blake hockey arena had me drenched in sweat. The Junior Varsity game had just finished the second period, which indicated I had about 45 minutes until the Varsity went on for warmups. Walking into the locker room from my usual pre-game routine, I sat down next to my hockey bad rearranging everything in the specific order I would put it on. I felt the urge to have a bite of my Cliff bar, but only a little bit because I do not like playing on a full stomach. I took my retainer off and had about half of the Cliff bar. I put my retainer back in right after I had finished eating and got dressed to go out for warmups. After coming back in from warmups, something in my mouth had been bothering me during warmups. I had a hunch it

    It is a truth universally acknowledged, that an individual child with a desire to gain one Snickers bar, must be prepared to trade no less than three Twix bars. In my household, every bag of fun sized confections was an opportunity for a ridiculous negotiation with a not so ridiculous lesson behind it. When my father loves Snickers just as much as I do, why should he take only one inferior Twix for one Snickers? Critically assessing how much my companion stands to lose versus how much I was willing to pay to get what I want is a skill I have been developing since middle school. Negotiation and debate, human interaction of all kinds have always piqued my interests both academically and recreationally.…

    During the hike I thought a lot about my summer reading, but sadly it didn't help me face the monster... During July of 2015 I was reading Into Thin Air while driving down south. While there, my family went on a hike that was on a smaller scale of Everest, but still gave me many lessons to take away from it. It was a short but scenic drive from the place we were staying to the long, treacherous trail. My brother and I started walking at a faster pace than our parents so we arrived at the first obstacle before our parents.…

    I began to bite my mouth guard that was rubbing against my braces. I began to sweat and having sweat dripping into my eyes and it burned as if I was getting lemon juice into my eyes.

After that minute of the pelican drill was done I put my hands over my gasping for my breath to come back. A couple seconds after the pelican drill, I started beggining to get the feeling back into my legs.…

    The chain of the lead rope weaved between my father’s hand and my horse's head. Before I could warn him, it brushed the electric fence. “Dad, the rope-” I was cut off by my horse’s near vertical buck. Before his hindquarters even returned to the ground, he lunged his body forward and shoved my father down. I fell on the back of my head and blacked out on impact.…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…

Not peculiar in a bad way, but in an interesting, provocative kind of way. I am the weird greenish-yellow crayon in the box that no one ever uses. I was born in Anchorage, Alaska.…
