Personal Narrative: My Coat Of Arms

Decent Essays
When I first started designing my Coat of Arms, I chose a chevron ordinary to divide my shield. Next, I drew several charges- the stag, wings, and the om symbol. The stag represents purity, speed, and strength of spirit. My family is strong mentally and pretty smart too! Likewise, the wings resemble freedom and flying. To me, this illustrates my love for gymnastics. Along with that, I chose the om symbol. This depicts my Indian heritage. Between all the colors, there needs to be a metal, so I chose argent for the chevron, curls on the stag, and dividing lines in general. The background tinctures have to be dark (so the shields could be seen even at dawn and dusk), so I chose azure and vert- they represent intelligence/honesty and happiness/loyalty,

    This coat of arms is made to represent Ender Wiggin. In the novel, Ender’s Game, Ender Wiggin is a brave leader, a genius, and the general of a space army. The symbols represent each of those characteristics in some way. In the top left corner, there’s a crown, the symbol of a leader or king. When people have crowns bestowed upon them, one of their duties inherently becomes leading the army of whatever nation the person has been out in command of.…

They are there as a permanent reminder to of things and/or people that I NEVER want to forget. That I want to carry with me every day for the rest of my life.…

    In my understanding, that was my command to do. Give selfish treatment to one man but give all credible treatment to the other, who in all shed the same blood fighting. I became deeply distraught by this segregated treatment because of some set value one man has to have just by the color of his skin. In disgust, I still had to do what was meant for me to do. I would work on the black soldiers and a woman named Clara Barton would work on the white soldiers. I grew interest into wanting to know how she felt about this unfair situation, however it was prohibited to step near her or inside the white soldier’s tent.…

    Though I was not able to put all of my attention to school until junior year, I kicked it into high gear as soon as I could. Despite all my hard work, I was unable to find myself a place in the top 10%. This has hurt my appearance to colleges, but I hope that with these explanations of what I had to go through freshman and sophomore year, my position will be slightly more understandable. Engineering honors is the best thing for my future and everything I want to do with my life. Honors will help me grow as a student, so I can be a better employee and will help me grow as a person.…

    I believe that my personal background, and my success despite the adversity that I have faced is an essential part of who I am.

    A little over a week ago, I was getting in my car to drive home following an intense cross country workout. Too caught up in pondering my splits for our three mile time trial and too proud of the effort I had put forth, I had completely forgotten that I had a piano lesson at 5 P.M. immediately following my cross country practice. After turning on my car, I glanced down at the digital clock unaware of my predicament...5:04. I realized that I was in trouble. I was going to be late and have to surrender half of my expensive lesson time.…

I had a lot of free time and not many friends to talk to, save for Lucas who lived all the way in Buckland. I spent the majority of my free time at my neighbor’s house. My neighbors were the most ignorant gun toting Americans I’ve ever known.…

    When I think about the boy who I was growing up, the young adult I am today, and the man I plan to be in the forthcoming years, one aspect of my life stands out to me far more radiantly than anything else: my culture, my skin, my identity as a Bangladeshi-American. There aren't many clubs or organization for Bangladeshi Americans such as myself. Make no mistake, there are certainly events for Bangladeshis living in the United states, many that I have attended due to various entreaties from my parents. These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…

    As I brainstormed about things that I carry, nothing stood out. Not a single prized-possession, no metaphoric symbols, no family heirlooms, not even an everyday object that I could somehow pull a deeper meaning out of came to mind. I had no words to describe what I carry, nothing at all. And I then realized that I couldn’t have described it any better. I carry nothing.…
