Personal Narrative: My Experience With Groups

Decent Essays
I was in middle school, I was in a group four of us were stomped by one problem. It was math class Mrs. X put us in groups of four or five to work on a group of problems. After asking my group about the problems, I discovered I wasn’t the only one having trouble with that problem. We were all clueless on how to even start the problem. I finally volunteered to ask the teacher for help on the problem, the group agreed and I began my walk to where she was. It was a quick walk and I told her I didn’t understand the problem before I could continue, She responded “Ask your group to help you, we will be going over the problems shortly.” I looked at my group then at Mrs. X and started walking back after I nodded. My group asked about the problem and

    This week was fun for me because I made the soccer team and we had a fun week of practices. We had much less homework this week than the previous week which was very fortunate because my brother and I had their grade’s curriculum nights so I was not getting home until eight thirty. There were three quizzes/tests this week which was a little rough but I think I got through them well. I thought that the Socratic seminar in LA was a little bit of a dud because…

    When I was in the 10th grade, my high school had begun to do something called Spirit Week. Now, if you do not know what spirit week is this is when you have a different activity for each day of the week, for example on Monday it may be cartoon day and you get to dress as your favorite character. Well, on this day it was “Throwback Thursday” and my friends and I decided that we were going to dress up as TLC. So, that day we talked about everything that we had planned to wear and we decide that we wanted to wear bandanas.…

    As a member of a club called "The Best Buddies Club", our role as a member of the club was to be assigned a buddy whom suffered physical disabilities for a large majority of their life. Throughout my experience I had met many kids around my age with certain disabilities, and with that I learned about the lives lived by each and everyone of them. A few told me sorrowful stories of a time they were bullied either physically or verbally. It brought great disappointment to humanity as a whole, those kids were one of the sweetest I've ever met. This led our group and I to spread awareness with a motto of "spread the word to end the word", directed at abolishing the use of the word "retard" or as we called it "the r-word".…

    I joined Anchor Club as a follower. I attended my first club meeting with a friend and committed without hesitation. For years, I had been one of those people who would or wouldn’t do something based on the amount of friends I had participating in the same thing. By sophomore year, this began to change. By junior year, that part of me was almost nonexistent – and now, I find myself to be an entirely different person, not basing my own actions on others, and being confident in myself, encouraging new experiences of my own.…

    There are multiple ways I am a leader within my community. The main way I lead my peers is through sports. I have been on my different teams; volleyball, basketball, track, and softball have all given me the opportunity to build my character and to lead by example. I was the volleyball team captain for my junior and senior year, so many of the younger girls were looking up to me. The best way to lead is by your actions; I would always go hard in practices and games to show the underclassmen that in order to get the best results, you need to give it your all.…
