Personal Narrative: My Trip To Indiana

Improved Essays
When I first visited Indiana this past summer, I didn’t know what to expect. I had heard that the Kelley School of Business was really nice, but I never really thought it would be as amazing as it was. After our official tour, my father and I walked to Kelley and decided to check it out. At first, I was excited by the physical aspects of the building; a seemingly new school with incredibly facilities was exactly what I was looking for in a business school. As we continued our unofficial tour, the students that were present kept approaching us and asking if we needed any help finding anything, and I instantly knew that I wanted to be around students that are helpful, kind, and fun to be around, which is what Indiana showed that they could offer

    Our field trip to Chicago offered me a new way of seeing the city. I have been to Chicago multiple times, yet this trip offered me an experience I was not expecting. It offered me an insight to the darkness that covers the city and the beacons of light that try to shine through that darkness. It opened my eyes to those who are searching for a truth, a love and an acceptance and are finding it in so many different places; whether it is Jesus People USA, South East Friendship Center, Olive Branch, a Krishna Temple or an Islamic Mosque. In each of these places individuals are just trying to figure out where they belong and if they can find acceptance, but what each offers is entirely different.…

    Wyoming, Illinois is a representation of a small farming community. It sits among acres of old, history filled corn, wheat and bean fields about thirty minutes from the “big” city. My first childhood home sat on a corner. The old home used to belong to my great grandparents, but was currently occupied by my mom, sister and two cats. I looked over to my mom, “Can I go to the grocery store?”…

    I loved the trip to Atlanta, Georgia I took with my mom’s side of the family. First I went to the Atlanta mall. There, we tramped through variety stores, and we watched Vacation in a wicked movie theater. Then, we rode a shuttle to my cousin’s beautiful wedding and elegant reception. The reception was full of caterers, amazing food, a drink bar, desserts, and a lot of other amazing stuff.…

    My love for Western Michigan stemmed from the environment I grew up in. I’ve lived in Kalamazoo since birth. My father worked and still works for Kalleward Group. I vividly remember going with my dad on Saturday mornings to look at the Seelye Center when it was still being constructed. Even as a young boy, I always thought about being a Bronco when I grew up.…

    In January of last year I went on a trip to Colorado on a "college visit" with a friend and my father to University of Colorado Boulder. We left Wednesday night, skipping school both Thursday and Friday. We did go to the college and took a tour of the campus on Thursday which I greatly enjoyed, it is beautiful out there and at elevation there is very little humidity. The true intention of the trip, as important as the college visit was, was to go to Breckenridge Resort and spend the weekend snowboarding. A couple of my dad's friends were also going and we were going to share their timeshare.…

    The corner of Broad and Sansom will always have a special place in my heart. In my travels around the city of Philadelphia, it is one of the few places that can smack me in the face with déjà vu. Whenever I walk by and look up at the windows above I still see the “David Wright shot a 72 on Wednesday” sign (this became a battle cry for me whenever the Phillies played the Mets, regardless of whether or not Wright was in the lineup). That was the prime location I was able to snag on October 31, 2008, bright and early at 8:34 a.m. There was an electricity in the air; the championship drought was finally broken and the streets were flooded with red.…

    Its Saturday morning and we’re leaving for Virginia. I am not looking forward to going and staying in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. And I’m also not too excited about being all “churchy” and religious for an entire week. We are riding vans painted with the words “Honk for Jesus” “Jesus loves you” and “ASP bound Kzoo Michigan”. I am about as religious as a dead rock.…

    West Virginia So the thing is I am just a twiggy white girl perhaps too oblivious to handle the poverty stricken sectors of West Virginia. And while this may be true, I also know that I have a God big enough to expand across any social, or economic boundary that we may face. I also believe that I am-- or will be-- prepared to undergo such an experience. My goal is to grow to learn more about the culture of the city, to pull myself into the best place with Christ I can be, and to trust in my knowledge and experience I do have.…

    I’ve lived my entire life in Indiana, as have my parents. My mom and dad were raised close to Monroe and went to Adams Central, where they met and fell in love. They ended up moving north to Fort Wayne where they had my sister and I. We began our schooling in FWCS, but we moved farther north to the tiny town of Huntertown later, which led to my sister and I switching to NACS for my high schooling and her middle and high schooling. Due to all of the events that have happened here in Indiana throughout my life, and due to most of my immediate family living in the area, I have a desire to continue living and working here.…
