The Best Years

Before we started writing, I told Triven we would be writing for ten minutes and that he could write a narrative or true story on any of the topics that we listed the day before. It took him ten minutes to write two sentences, so I gave him some more time. We spent a total of fourteen minutes writing, I had to prompt him to keep writing about 3-4 times. Triven is in 3rd grade and he exhibited very little enthusiasm when reading his piece back to me. He mumbled and didn’t seem very confident with…

Occupational therapists are continually striving to enhance the quality of life of their clients. Several factors are essential to enhancing quality of life in people with spinal cord injuries. A literature review by Barclay McDonald and Lentin (2015) found that participation in meaningful occupations has been correlated more strongly with quality of life than impairment and functional ability (Barclay, McDonald, & Lentin 2015). Quality of life is also related to monitoring the secondary…

Areté, the process of becoming man, is the major theme of the two Hemingway novels, The Old Man and the Sea and The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber. The class discussions which analyzed the theme of the novels gave me a strong reminder of my own such experience. I am a cellist and playing the instrument is definitely the most enjoyable, yet very serious and important part of my life. However, it has not always been this influential; until my areté was sparked by major events which…

What does that even mean? When I was three I wore my Cinderella costume every day for a year, and no one’s still harping on that. I think I would have really grown to resent my parents if I didn’t actually love to write. The first story I can remember writing was from when I was four or five. It was one of the aforementioned fable variety…

2015 Ms. Winn English 2 Angie’s Personal Narrative I’ve always considered myself as a cracked egg because once an egg is cracked it’s impossible for it to be pieced back together. I came out of my shell during the end of my 5th grade year towards my 6th grade year. First and foremost before we get that far this is how it all began. I was born in Freetown, Sierra Leone; a really small country located in West Africa.. I lived there until I was 8 during one sunny afternoon when you could hear the…

“Oh my gosh! I hate this! I don 't want to do this!” The screaming thought that always came through my mind when my teachers told me to we had a writing assignment. I especially hated it when they would give it a back grade after hard work and stressing it. They all would tell me it had a good potential but that it was not up to their standards. I needed to work on grammar, my wording, and what not. I really hated it. I know it was to make me a better writer but I did not feel like it was…

started going less and less to speech therapy but I would still go at least twice a month. Th reason behind my speech impediment is because I can not breath out of nose, which is very key whenever you are talking. I have improved greatly over the years to the point where people tell that I have done my whole life that they can not even tell I had a speech impediment at one time. Because I can not breathe in and out of nose, I think about breathing every time I talk. Now let me tell you before I…
