Personal Narrative: The Breakfast Club

Improved Essays
Let's get one thing straight. We are not the Breakfast Club. We did not meet by chance, and we did not leave whether or not we would always be friends a mystery to those who were watching us. As far as I know, we will always be friends, and if we are not, I’ll always try to remember what made us, us. But in terms of the Breakfast Club, I believe we have helped each other quite a bit, and we all are extremely different. It was right before the summer, so the day was warm but also wet and humid. Around this time we were wrapping up all of our work in eighth grade, taking standardized tests , and getting ready for highschool, so one can imagine that we were all pretty tired. My friends and I all live a good walk away from the school and usually the trips could be pretty enjoyable. We would go to the corner store on Central Ave to get some candy and a drink, then go to one of our …show more content…
Who didn't think of me as a burden. For a self-loathing bastard like me, I'd say that's a pretty great accomplishment.
Imagine the following:
A girl of about 14 lays in a lavender colored room, in a far off the ground loft bed. Her mom describes the room as looking like World War 3 occurred, but she doesn't see the problem. In her left arm is a old and ragged teddybear that she'd been clinging to since the 3rd grade and farther over is a pink Hello Kitty Alarm Clock reading 11' o clock. Even though her room is a bit messy, outside is where the REAL war is happening.
"You give her everything, you're spoiling her! She's such an asshole that she can't do anything for herself! Slap her more! Why don't you treat her the same way you treated us! I hate the both of you! One of these I'm gonna move out and you'll both be crawling back to me!" Did she move out? No. Did my mother and I come crawling back to my sister? Ha, I have a special thing called dignity, even if it's the size of a dust bunny. Did we find an eventual compromise?

    Some people say that their flashbacks are never like the movies’ version, where the screen goes from the character doing something to the screen flashes to her point of view. And the view of the screen is too zoomed in, to where the viewer could not see the person or the object that the character is seeing, causing the character to forget how to breathe and have people worry for them. Everyone is different, but mine are exactly like how the movies describe it to be. Some are triggered by the senses, like the smell of cologne or the taste of a certain pasta. While some just randomly pop up in my mind, almost like in the movie Inside Out where mini people in your mind would pick a memory ball and put it on the memory projector for showing.…

    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".…

    Rhythmic staccatos of hammer drills coupled with harmonic musical accompaniment compose the symphony of the theatrical arena. Gridlocked center stage, contemplating the complexity of antibiotic resistance in petri-developed bacterial strains, my deviated attention soon becomes enveloped by the compulsory sound of the production manager calling a cast meeting. I clench my hands around a story of genuine sentiment for tradition; having spent months exploring the effect one transformative agent can bear on an entire population of nuanced individuals. I begin to reference the fundamentals of biology to incite a parallel between random mutations of bacteria and random events associated with the art of theatrical production. In the studio, I delve…

    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…
