Personal Narrative: Why I Am A Stranger?

Improved Essays
Strangers are simply friends, we haven’t met yet. Strangers are dangerous. Strangers are strange. To someone I am a stranger, and to me you’re a stranger. We may become friends, or we may continue to walk different paths the rest of this lifetime. This could be down to luck, destiny, or our own life planning. Due to frequent déjàvu episodes I sign onto the internet to ferret out information. According to the medical websites, this could be the sign that a mental illness is about to present itself; likewise a spiritual blogger, blogged that a person has these memories when their past collides with their future. Another article dismissed it as something similar in a past life, having happened to someone, and triggering the memory in …show more content…
She is a strong woman, and I admire her, in fact, everyone in town respects her. She is whom we all want to show up if we are the one in need, not only is she a policewoman, she is a competent EMT (emergency medical technician), before her police training she volunteered on our local ambulance. She has taken the “protect and serve,” issue to heart, and just being a determined woman she proves she can do the job as well as any man, therefore she is unapproachable in her

    The Stranger in the Photo is Me I always say I do not care much about the past. But after scavenging through the family photo collection and the pictures on my Facebook, I caught myself contemplating if I truly care about the past and the stories the photos have to offer. However, while looking through the photos, I discovered pictures I never knew were taken, as well as pictures I can vividly remember every detail about. All the pictures have one similar aspect—a girl – a stranger –me. I look different in these photographs.…

    When asked to define myself in one paper, I find it hard to show the details that I want to in the right light.

There aren't many clubs or organization for Bangladeshi Americans such as myself. Make no mistake, there are certainly events for Bangladeshis living in the United states, many that I have attended due to various entreaties from my parents. These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…

    What Was I Doing I woke up at eight o’clock in the morning like any other day. I got out of the bed and pulled open the curtains to see what a beautiful day it was outside.
