Portia Pro: A Personal Narrative Analysis

Decent Essays
When I got home today, I decided that I would give myself 15 minutes to relax and then I would input the data into Portia Pro. I set an alarm for 15 minutes however I ended up falling asleep and sleeping through my alarm. I woke up at 12:30AM (my husband and his Grandparents drove to Ninilchik tonight to be able to go fishing tomorrow morning. Normally if I fall asleep by accident usually my husband will wake me up). I think I found a way to re-open Portia Pro by going into the program on my desktop computer and clicking on the session in the calendar view. Clicking on the time on the calendar allowed me to be able to extend the time on the session. When I went to input the data for the WH questions, I accidentally inputted all the information

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    “Alright now Skin, I need you to be my leadoff here and get a rally going!” I do not respond, because I obviously know how important this one at bat is for the team and for myself. One thing coach loves doing, making sure I know how much I am accountable for. There is no comment to explain to me of how dependent I am on these upcoming moments for the team, so don’t make it any worse. To start off and to have the power to set the tone of the whole inning.…

    As a military child, I left the United States with my family at the age of five and spent eight years living overseas at duty stations in Japan, Germany, and Italy. We traveled extensively during vacations to over 20 different countries. As a result, I claim proficiency in ordering french fries and apple juice in several different languages. Although moving has brought me some misfortune, and many people would say that living overseas qualifies as adversity, I never felt it was such.…

    Placing the pen on paper, I commit to a series of ideas that are unknown to me. Placed before me, the prompt rests on the desk and a pencil erases away my mind, static fills the void in my head. I read and I read. I read the prompt; I read the context; I write my notes and a bundle of ideas blossom in my mind. I struggle to transfer my thoughts into comprehensive sentences that will fully encompass my understanding of the subject.…

    Prompt #1 I work with this girl named Nicole; she is pretty, has really nice clothes, and is great at her job. When she first started working at my job, Elizabeth’s Pizza, I thought of her as the stereotypical rich white girl. She seemed kind of rude and like she could not care less about much besides partying, which she briefly spoke with me about after I tried to talk to her about personal aspects of her life to get to know her better. She would talk to me about one of our co-workers, who I was somewhat friends with, and would brag on and on about how they were great friends and hung out all the time. This did not make me jealous, but did bother because I knew that was her purpose.…

    I believe competition brings out an abundance of confidence that one wouldn’t find anywhere else. As a highly competitive Irish dancer, I have gradually grown into the competitor I am today. It was, and is, not easy, but with the encouragement of my teachers, judges and friends, I grew. When I was thirteen, during a time when I felt the worst about my dancing and came across as a very timid and shy, I earned an important boost of confidence from a judge. Showing a hint of confidence, I hoped to gain my second first at this competition to move up to the highest level, open championships.…

    Let me first start off start by saying how lucky and fortunate I have been my entire life. I come from an incredible family; middle-class, college educated, white---within all of this I have recognized the privilege I have been born into and the calling within me to give back in any and all ways possible. However, this did not come without having hit rock bottom. In college I felt very much that I was going through the motions: get good grades, make my parents proud, go to graduate school, and maintain scholarships--- all of this combined led me to a series of bad decisions but ultimately have put my life in the most beautiful place to date.…

    I was nine months old during the Summer of 1997; little did I know that my life would soon forever change. I was born in October 1996 at a hospital located in Yangzhou, China, and then directly from there I was placed into an orphanage where the workers were limited, but the babies were infinite. In mid-July 1997, a father, with a great knowledge for the world, a mother, with a selfless heart, as well as their daughter, with a laugh who could brighten anyone’s day, would fly across the world in order to welcome their new baby daughter into their family. These strangers would quickly soon become my life-long companions as well as shape me into someone that not only they could be proud of, but also that society would embrace and cherish too.…

    This article is, in my opinion, an example of how personal narrative can sometime confuse the author’s purpose. In order to frame her arguments she discussed her experiences with her family, and specifically how she was born a twin to a stillborn sister. She explains her families lack of coping and how her family effected her life, but I failed to focus on the overarching idea that she wanted to get out because of how distracting the stories from her personal life are. Instead found myself thinking that her story was strangely personal without much justification for why it was this way. While the point of her article, the balance between truth and respect, was somewhat present overall, the sections of personal narrative that she decided to include muddled it.…
