Personal Narrative Ever since I was 6 I have been a part of a team called “The St. Jude Performance Team” and our main goal is to raise money for children who are sick with cancer.

Being a part of this team has made me into a better person, it taught me not to be selfish and to appreciate everything I have. I first started when I was in 1st grade and I was very shy at the time…

I wondered why. Ever since I was a little, I always felt that I had lost something. I didn’t know what it was nor did I know when I lost it. All I knew was that I had lost something. Something precious, something important, something irreplaceable. I had lost something precious, important, and irreplaceable in my life. I knew that. I knew it very well. But, what exactly was that something? One week had passed since I became a third year at Heilig High School, yet I still didn’t know the answer…

To accurately depict the overarching qualities of Northwestern which I find most intriguing, it is easiest to provide a line from the university’s president, Morton Shapiro, on why the university stands out from their competitors. While emphasizing the school’s motivated approach to maximizing attention toward undergraduate students, Shapiro professed that the school’s “focus on undergrads without losing the identity as a great research institute” is a quality that sets Northwestern apart. This…

Imagine yourself standing in the student section of the annual Thatcher vs. Safford football game. Everyone around you is chanting in unison, “I believe that we will win! I believe that we will win!” You can feel the energy all around. Pumping through the stands, screaming through the people around you, even pulsing through the air above your head. Every student there is cheering until their lungs can’t take it any more, and not a single person cares if they won’t be able to even speak a word…

The topic of the great perhaps is a key part to John Green's novel “Looking for Alaska”. In the novel the great perhaps is what drives the main character, Miles, to leave his old life behind in search for something better. This leads to the chain of events that will eventually unfold throughout the novel. The Great Perhaps in a way is what starts everything that will happen in a person's life. The way Green expresses the idea of the Great Perhaps in his novel is very similar to how people…

Growing up, Winnie the Pooh was always a source of comfort for anyone I knew. My mom read the books to my sister and I; we watched the movies; I affectionately called my best friend Winston Winnie. As I became older, I learned of the theory that each character is a representation of a mental disorder. I had always identified myself with Piglet because I was small, generally timid, and my favorite color was pink. Sure enough, into my seventh grade year I began to express characteristics of…

My intrinsic motivation is currently at a moderate level. Which isn’t to bad because I went to college based on mostly extrinsic motivations. I was motivated by the thought of a good job, better starting pays, and my family pushed me to where that was my only option. I did have a little curiosity, my intrinsic motivation to go to college. I was curious to know is college as bad or crazy as depicted by graduated alumni. When it comes to college now all my classes have the extrinsic motivation of…
