Personal Narrative: The Cheesecake Factory

Superior Essays
Just to clarify, I am not famous nor am I a celebrity. LOL people see my name and either make jokes or they are in disbelief that Janet Jackson is my legal name and think that I am making it up. I find it funny however I can see the suspicion. I was born in California and basically raised in Missouri. My favorite color is Pink and my favorite food is cheesecake! One of my favorite restaurants is the Cheesecake Factory; they have to die for cheesecake and delicious salads!
I am originally from Waynesville, MO. I lived there for more than half my life and considered it my home town. My father retired from the US Army in 2001 and that is where we decided to stay since we had been living there for 10+ years already. My family and I currently live in Texas. My husband is in the US Army and his orders took us from Missouri to Texas. Texas is his home state and so far I like it here. It is definitely much bigger than the town I am from however there is so much to do here! We are only 50 minutes away from Austin and 2.5 hours from San Antonio so I am very excited to see the various parts of this wonderful state. It almost feels like Texas is a country in its own.

I could not believe I was not able to do it; it took me so long to get past this failure. It was very frustrating to me because it seemed that no one around me understood the internal frustration and embarrassment of failing. I am not one who takes “failing” very easily, especially when it involves me personally. I am a very prideful person and always strive to do my best. Eventually I accepted the fact that I was not successful the first time around. With that being said here I am still working toward that goal and in the spring of 2017 I will get a second chance at finishing what I started a few years ago. I feel very fortunate to be able to take another stab at

    That was until I found a recipe on how to make some chocolate chip cookies and said, “I can totally do this!” an hour and a half later, (yes ... I struggled) and with some guidance of my mother, a batch of cookies popped out of the oven. I was scared at first to let anybody try them because they looked quite horrid, but as soon as the first daredevil, my older brother, tried this twelve-year-old’s cookies he immediately smiled, shoved the remaining cookie into his mouth, and grabbed another two.…

    As a child, I remember my grandma reading me The Little Engine that Could every time I visited her house. Which may seem slightly odd that, that’s what I enjoyed as a kid. It quickly led to me writing in school. During kindergarten, we were all about writing our own books. For example, I ended that year with 22 books.…

    I come from a poor family. I never had brand-name shoes or video games, or even a Lisa Frank binder and stickers like my friends at school, but I always had plenty of food in the fridge at home. My family never went hungry in spite of the fact that we were raised by a single mother who made her living as a coffee shop waitress. I did not know, till I was a teenager, that my mom bought the majority of our groceries with food stamps. It never seemed odd to me that she went to the grocery store one time a month and stocked up on milk, sugar, lunchmeat, chicken legs, hamburger meat, and most importantly, coffee.…

    Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what lessons did you learn? Failure is not unusual but having the courage to get back up and fight for what I believe in is indeed unusual. Much earlier in my studies, I have surmounted tremendous hardship which caused me to drop out of college. I have migrated to America in the early 2000s with my family seeking a better life because my country did not have much to offer.…
