Personal Narrative-Pirates Of Penzance

Superior Essays
Sitting under dark blue sky getting the whiff of freshly mowed grass was enchanting looking back trying to figure out where I went wrong ‘Why did he do this to me? How could I be so naive? He knew from the beginning that all I ever wanted was the truth’. My palace under the stars was almost like I could reach up and grab them, it hypnotized me. I was talking to one of my really good friends, Miriam, late at night just sitting on the queen size bed in my room. We were talking about my latest crush, Ben Norris. Ben and Miriam just met each other for the first time this past weekend, after attending the musical Ben and I were in called “Pirates of Penzance”. Miriam is always asking

“Why do you like him? He isn't even cute!”.

Well after that it got a little awkward so I took Miriam home cause I couldn’t talk to her after that insult to Ben and to me, her so called “best friend”.
A few weeks later Ben and I were hanging out and talking on the front porch sitting on the cold, black swing with twinkling lights warped around the top with a crackling of a campfire in the background. I couldn’t shake the idea, my best friends older brother Hyrum put into my head, that Ben was just playing with my feelings. Since Ben knew me so well and could tell that there was something really bothering me he of course asked me

“Kimree what’s wrong?” and me being the brutally, honest person that I am. I just flat out asked if he was just playing with my feelings and like always him feelings super hurt and slightly mad that I would even think such a thing. But what else am I supposed to think? Especially when he says that he likes me but is never able to hangout, when I know for a fact that he can. Then whenever he looks at me with those big, sad, hurt eyes I automatically start to feel guilty because of my big mouth. So I apologize and practically begging for forgiveness. Now that it’s so late and Ben needs to leave and all I want is for him to stay and never need to

    Pacing back and forth, I pondered how our volleyball fundraiser was going to stay afloat. The council was distraught, unable to acquire more teams, with the tournament in two days. With our advisors and the vice principal leaning towards canceling the event, my council had two choices: get eight more teams to sign up or call off the event.

    I had a hard time following a long with the film Casablanca, so I tried hard to pay extra close attention. Whenever a character was speaking I felt as though I had missed something because a lot of the time I had no clue what was going on. The end was a bit melodramatic. When the man is shot and the rest of the soldiers show up the dialogue basically says, "Strasser has been shot. " They carry him away and that was that.…

    Over the years and years spent on studying mythology, Joseph Campbell came up with the concept of The Hero’s Journey. The Hero’s Journey states that all hero’s travel in a similar path and go through many similar stages that’ll lead them to their reward. However, not every hero’s journey has to involve obstacles as in slaying a dragon or trying to save the world. In my case, I had to do nothing but trying to make it through sixth grade year. Sadly, sixth grade was the year that I faced the most challenges, real world challenges at least.…

    My six word memoir was “Fought through the labyrinth of solitude” because I wasn’t really alone physically because I had my family but none of them understood me or I couldn’t show them I true self, like who I really am. It wasn’t really easy to do because I felt insecure even though I shouldn’t feel that way. I stayed true to myself and I kept that in mind and it gave me the strength to push through. So mentally I was me but outside I was a totally different person that everybody expected me to be but even though I had some faith that that would end someday.…

    My experiences over the last six years living in NYC have shaped me into the approachable and compassionate person I am today. I have been immersed in a melting pot with many different culturally and economically diverse populations. These unique experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to gain valuable communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I searched out opportunities to give back and help the people in my community both in volunteering in hospitals, educating high school students, and interning in private practices. I even traveled with the organization Medlife, setting up a medical clinic to provide basic medical care and education to people in the poor and underserved communities surrounding Lima, Peru.…

As soon as I passed the starting line, the chip on my shoe started running the clock; timing how long it would take for me to make it to the finish line. I had trained for this very day in which I would run for the half marathon. Having had run several five kilometer races I never thought I would have doubled the miles.

    When he called me a friend, I did not know how to respond as has been so long since someone called me a friend. One class that changed my cynical views on friendship was conflict resolution. That class did introduce me to some of the views that some of my friends had and that class introduced me to one of my closest friends. When I met her, I expected her to act cold and distant around me but instead she did the opposite of what I expected. When I acted either awkward or dorky around her, she either laughed at my anxiety and told me it was fine or calmed me down to a degree.…
