Essay about High School Graduation Day
High School Graduation Day
Many people have experienced the over whelming excitement that you feel as you approach high
school graduation day, and for me, that's a day that I will never forget. The amount of emotions
that you feel on graduation day is unbelievable, and I have yet to experience anything else like it.
I can remember feeling anxious to celebrate the big day with my friends and family, while at the
same time I was panicking thinking about having to walk across the stage in front of that many
people. Then, the more I thought about the reality of graduation day, I started to get curious, but
nervous, about being able to start a new chapter in my life once graduation day had passed. There
are several reasons why I, still...show more content...
As the end of the night approached us, I couldn't stop thinking about how many mixed emotions I
had about starting a whole new chapter in my life. I couldn't wait to go to college, meet all new
people, get a degree so that I could start my career path, but I knew that meant I had to say goodbye
to my two best friends, who were moving several hours away from me. This was one of the hardest
things I had ever had to do in my life. We all cried a little, and then made promises to keep in touch,
and then we were off into the real world! I was very happy to be at this point in my life, but I was
scared deep down inside.
When I look back on this day now, I still remember every detail as if it was yesterday. I was so
proud, and happy to be able to celebrate such an amazing day with all of my friends and family. I
know I will never forget how embarrassed I was walking across the stage in front of all of those
people, feeling famous after taking so many pictures, making our final memories together at our
graduation parties, and then being a nervous wreck when it was time to go out into the world
without my best friends at my side. High school graduation day was a very emotional day for me, but
it was by far the most exciting day I have ever experienced in my

The Story of My Life Essay
This explains the beginning of my life all the way to the end of my life. My life from the
beginning was very fun as I grew up living with my mom's friend and my friend. But there were a
lot of fights and I was very hyper back then. I have ADHD so back then when I was little; I was
very hyper and wouldn't stop moving around the place. I always was annoying back then and
never seemed to get my homework done at school. I was born at Kaiser Hospital during the year
1996. The first place I lived was on the street Via Harriet and was right next to a train. It was
always noisy when the train passed by because it shook the house and scared all the animals. It
wasn't the best place to live, but we eventually moved to the hills, I don't remember...show more

Overall I know that I'm going to graduate because I'm pushing hard and all I need to finish is my
Cyber High and keep up my grades and I will graduate. I want to go to Chabot College because it's
the closest place to go to. I am planning to get my associates degree then transfer to Cal State East
Bay University. I don't exactly know the requirements of classes to get into Cal State, but as long
as I get my AA degree I should be fine. I am focused on technology and computers; I like to choose
classes that can be similar to wiring or soldering. I am not that sure if I would be more focused on
computers or wiring, I think an Internship might help me out. My career would be Technician or
Electrician because I'm focused on electricity and wanting to discover what would happen
without getting electrocuted. I'm still unsure if I just want to work on physical components on
the computer. I used to work on computers a lot, but it got boring and I can't do it as great now.
Soldering is interesting for me because I get to repair broken wires, being able to strip a wire.
When striping a wire, you get to know how the wire is connected. I think a life event for me is to
grab my master's degree, which is what I'm focused on. That's like the best degree to get, but it's
really difficult to receive. I wouldn't like going to years and years of education, but it's totally worth
it. Getting a higher degree affects the amount

My Experience With A Patient Essay
INTRODUCTION
Throughout clinical I have faced countless new experiences. From performing new tasks to having
two patients, the last two weeks of clinical have been nothing short of exhilarating. Facing a difficult
patient has tested my abilities and how well I am able to adapt to various situations. Moving then to
two patients created a busy environment. Having one patient being independent and the other being
dependent on me, made for a good balance. However, with the countless medications needing to be
administered the past few weeks have been stressful. Learning to manage my time, between the new
patients, allowed me to focus on each of their needs. Through this experience I have gained new
insight, tied theory together between classes and clinicals as well learned how to handle difficult
patients. I have learned where I need to work on, how I intend to better my practice and how I will
take my previous experiences and apply them to the future ones. Understanding where I need to
improve my practice will give me a better understanding, herby benefiting both my patients and I.
WHAT
The past two weeks of clinical have been unlike any other. I started each clinical off by completing
patient and medication research. This gave me a better understanding on everything that was going
on. Following research, I began my clinicals and have since then experienced one in particular
instance that will stick with me for a while. I encountered a very difficult patient and

Narrative Essay About My Birthday
It is April 4th. It is my 21 birthday.21 years ago I was born and got named Thea. My mom Emily,
dad James, sister Maddison, and brother Liam are coming over to celebrate my birthday. There are a
few things I must do before they come.
The first thing I need to do is order a medium pizza and some wings for my family, We are big fans
of pizza and wings. My family said that they would get me a cake. I am excited to see what it looks
like. They also said that they had a big surprise for me. I am really curious about what they got me
but also nervous.
It is finally 4pm. My family should be arriving soon. I hear a knock on the door and assume it is my
family. I rush to the door and open it.
" Hi Thea how are you doing ?" says my mom while walking in
" I am doing great, just have been waiting for you guys to arrive"
My mom sets down a medium white size box.My mom looks at me and says
"You should take a look at your cake" in a very eager voice. I waked to the box where my cake was
and opened it slowly. I am amazed with design. It was a very detailed looking Kawasaki ninja
motorcycle you could see parts of the motor which made it look realistic. I was so happy with how
it looked.I turned around and my mom was still looking at me, so I said
" Thanks mom it looks really cool with all the details."
We all sat down and talked. We talked about how everyone has been. My sisters school and my
brothers new job. While we were talking there was another knock on the door. I went to go open
the door and it was the pizza and the wings. I payed for them and grabbed the boxes and walked
into the kitchen where my family was. Everyone was really hungry but my family really wanted
me to see the big surprise they got for me. SO we agreed we would go outside to see what they
got me. We went outside when I saw what they got me I almost cried in joy. My family got me the
same looking motorcycle that was on my cake. It was a black Kawasaki Ninja 2017. It had a nice
leather seat.The lights were bright white and it was really shinny.But I had one question.
"How did you guys afford to buy it ?"
" We all payed a part of it" said my brother Liam

Personal Narrative: My Tenth Grade English Class
I have never been a loud person, and because of that fact I have always loved to read. I find
comfort in curling up with a good book and will almost always take staying in reading over going
out to see the latest box office hit. In my tenth–grade english class, it was the first time participation
through speaking up in class would impact my grade significantly, and consequently I was forced
to voice my opinion. The first time I spoke up in class I remember being very nervous to do so. I
was afraid my opinion would be wrong or people would not like what I had to say, but as I spoke,
I slowly saw heads nodding towards me, whispers of agreement, and finally a positive remark from
my teacher for my analysis. From that moment on, I felt comfortable

Essay Growing Up
When I Grow Up..
"Being 'grown up' isn't as fun as the idea of growing up."
–AmberGrace Seguin
Remember when we were young and all we could think of was growing up and getting to do
'grownup' things? We spent our whole childhood thinking of what we would do when we finally
'grew up', and here we are, almost completely grown up and we still haven't made up our mind of
what it is we will do when we grow up. We've painted this pretty little picture in our head of what
it'll be like when we eventually do grow up, and when it finally comes for the picture to be taken off
the wall and put into action, it's not nearly as fun as creating the painting.

"The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he
forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise." –Alden Nowlan
As we continue to grow up, we learn that being grown up is not as we imagined it. We once
convinced ourselves that growing up was the goal to achieve, and life would be much better once
we were in fact grown up. When we in fact do grow up, we think back at our youth and laugh
because we thought growing up was the most wondrous thing to accomplish, but now, more than
ever, we crave for our youth; for the days we would sit in the grass and daydream of what we are to
become when we grow up; and finally for the days when life was simple and we could imagine it
any which way we wanted it and no one could do a thing about it.
"A grownup is a child with layers on." –Woody

Opening to a Horror Story
They told him the house was haunted. They told him the house was strange. Five families had
moved in, and never made it out. Alive anyway. He had already survived two days with his family.
His second night in his new home, what could possibly happen?
A whispered name.
The boy stirs in his sleep. A pale, vaporous moon lights the room. Shadows are deep. He twists his
head, turning towards the window so that his face becomes a soft mask, unblemished, colourless.
But the boy's dream is troubled; beneath his lids, his eyes dart to and fro.
The whispered name:
'Daniel....'
Its sound is distant.
The boy frowns; yet the voice is within his own slumber, a...show more content...
He stands at the door, as if fearing to touch. But he is puzzled. More– he is curious. He twists the
handle, the metal's coldness leaping along his arm like iced energy released from a source. The
shock is mild against the damp chill of his own body. He pulls the door open and the darkness
beyond is more dense; it seems to swell into the bedroom, a waxing shadow. He shrinks away,
reluctant to allow contact with this fresh darkness.
His vision adjusts, and the inkiness scatters as if weakened by its own sudden growth. He advances
again, passing through the doorway to stand shivering on the landing overlooking the staircase. To
descend this would be like sinking into the blackest of all pits, for darkness down there appears final.
Still the hushed whisper urges:
'...Daniel...'
He listens for a moment more, perhaps wishing that the minor voice would also rouse his sleeping
parents. There is no sound from their room; grief has exhausted their bodies as well as their spirit.
He stares into the centre of the darkness below, terribly compelled to descend.
The fingers of one hand slide against the wall, as he does so, their tips rippling over the textured
wall paper. Disbelief mingles with the fascination and the fear. Small lights– caught from who
knows where? At the foot of

Personal Narrative Essay About Immigration
Opportunities It was late 1960's and it was a huge deal for someone to leave their whole life , to
abandon the house the individual lived in for so long. It's just like starting your life all over
again at a new place, in a new house, with new friends, with another language. It's not easy to do
that but sometimes that is required to do if you want to guarantee your family to have a better
future. This is personal story of a person , but their name is going to stay confidential. Like I said
it was the 1960's and all everyone was talking about was how great America is. Many people
immigrated from Bulgaria at that time so it wasn't anything new. The individual came to US because
they wanted to find new opportunities for a better life....show more content...
At a time they used a VISA, but they applied for a passport later on. It wasn't easy there were a
bunch of papers that had to be filled in and it took at least 1 year. At first when the individual
arrived it felt like she was on another planet. The system, the laws, the way things were done,
etc... was divergent. The biggest problem for most immigrants was that they didn't speak the
language barrier just like the woman I interviewed. Put yourself in that place. Without knowing
the language you can't buy a phone, order food, or even ask where the bathroom is! It's honestly
difficult and I am speaking from personal experience except in my case I had a lot of people that
helped me out with that problem. Second most important problem was finding a place to live. After
that woman had put all of her money into the trip, she didn't have enough to rent an apartment or
live together with other people. Luckily for her, she had relatives in Arkansas so she moved in with
them. Third hardest part was not knowing where anything is located. In Bulgaria the cities are pretty
small compared to the cities here. The cities there are even smaller than the suburbs.Over there

Personal Narrative: To Be A Good Writer
In my freshman year, I needed that help with my grammar and writing. I sought an assistance from
the teachers or tutors, but I didn't not receive the help I needed. These are the reasons I cannot be a
good writer as I want to be. First, since I didn't get enough or little help from my English teacher, I
couldn't advance in writing. So, I tried practicing writing by myself to see if I can do it myself.
Practice helped me very little because it was really difficult for me to understand the concept. Also,
one of my friends helped me write and I got a little better. My teacher told me to attend tutorial
sessions. Second, then when I went to the tutor, the woman did not have enough time to spend with
me. my tutor helped me with my writing

Essay on My Family History
My Family History
Family history is very important to an individual. By knowing where you come from, you can have
a better perspective of your life. Having a clear understanding of your family background allows you
to better appreciate the things that you would normally take for granted. The house, the car, and the
average clothing may look better when one sees the sacrifices their family has made. They will see
that their family has worked very hard just so their family can experience the better things in life. A
persons roots and origin is one of the most important things to explore. It alone can bring you closer
to self–discovery.
There are two sides to a person's family and one side of my family has...show more content...
One of these is that on Thanksgiving everybody comes together to my parents' house in New Jersey
for a huge feast. On Christmas only my mother and the children (me and my brother) travel to Illinois
to spend a week with my grandparents. On New Years Eve we all get together at my parents'
house in New Jersey and toast to the New Year with champagne and apple cider. During Labor
Day weekend all of my family travels to South Jersey to my grandfathers' condo. We usually
spend all of our time on the beach and barbequing, except on Sunday when we go to church. After
all, my grandfather is a minister. One of our biggest family traditions is going back to Puerto
Rico. Every year my mother and I travel back to Puerto Rico for a portion of our summer
vacation. Now that I am older I travel there more often and stay there much longer. My father never
joins because he doesn't like my mothers side of the father too much and he thinks that we when we
speak Spanish we are all plotting against him. Of course that's not true though. My bother doesn't
speak Spanish so he doesn't like to go either. I guess that tradition is one that belongs solely to my
mother and I.
The role of the people in family basically stayed the same for most of the generations with a little
change in the later generations. Earlier the males were the only ones that worked in the family and

Literacy Narrative Essay example
At this point in my life I find myself in an interesting predicament regarding my attitudes toward
reading and writing; more so towards reading. Years ago I used to love reading books for pleasure
but nowadays I find myself reading things that little to no effort to digest. This includes the very
basic posts on facebook expressing one's opinion on something or articles and threads on reddit
discussing topics I find intriguing. Perhaps it's the severe senioritis that has overcome me as I
enter my last semester at Chapman University. As I've gotten lazier I can see it start to reflect in
my everyday life. Deep down I still love to read but I rarely find myself getting truly invested into
the action unless it relates to something I am very...show more content...
You can feed the mind as much as you want and it will never get full of reading. Sadly, I'm not the
same person that I was. I guess you could say it's part of growing up. It never really was
intentional but it's just the way how it ended up. On the other hand my attitudes toward writing
are very different. First let me say that deep down I truly do not like to write. I myself don't
personally like to write for leisure or pleasure but rather I write because I believe it is one of the
most important aspects of being able to communicate with those around you, both personally and
professionally. To put differently, my attitude towards writing is that I write because I need to
write and survive in the world around me. I write because I have to, not because I want to.
Hopefully this somewhat makes sense. To better explain let me make a comparison. When I am
assigned a writing assignment or I am writing because the action is being forced upon me I find
myself not enjoying the process and overall the end result is subpar. The perfect example of this
would be my junior year in high school when I was enrolled in AP english literature. I dreaded the
majority of the class simply because there was so much writing involved in the entire course and
therefore I was constantly writing just to get a grade. Being forced to write in such high volume
every week for an entire school year was not enjoyable for myself and as a result the

Personal Narrative Essay : A Trip To The Beach
It's a very warm typical July day. There is a big hurricane in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. I can
guarantee that there are so many people going to the beach. After Joey thought that he grabbed his
necklace off his nightstand and put it around his neck and held the cross for a few seconds more
than he usually does everyday.
"Cole let's go to the beach, the waves are like 7 to 8 feet!" Joey exclaimed to Cole over the text. Joey
rode his bike over to Cole's house.
"Joey I'm asking my dad to drive us to the beach I don't want to ride my bike." Joey looks at the
waves and gets scared.
"Dude, where are we going to put our things it's packed?"
Cole unpacked the bags with the boards in them. Joey and Cole went to the shore to get their fins
and fin socks on. Joey got his fins on first and started to paddle out. The current was insane. Cole
was following Joey out to where the waves were starting to form. Joey got a nice wave and had a

jetty and tried to get pulled to the left and land where everyone else is. Cole told him before they
went to the beach because he knew that there was a current. It was not a good idea because if a
wave came, he could get smashed into it. Joey was not acting smart, so he decided to not listen to
Cole. Joey walked over to the left side of the jetty.

My Belief As A Teacher Essay
Narrative Essay
Introduction
The narrative essay aims to define a metaphor that is specific to me and explores my belief as a
teacher. I will relate this metaphor to my personal history and the experiences that have contributed
towards the person who I am and the beliefs that I hold about myself as a teacher. I will further
touch on the practical and personal experiences that have helped shape who I am. The research that
underpins children's learning and development. Finally it goes to explore the image I hold towards
young children's learning and development.
Metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is
used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison (Metaphor, n. d.) The metaphor that
I have chosen for myself is a "tree of knowledge". I was born and raised in Fiji, with a background in
farming. My parents were farmers and childhood was spent not playing with toys but playing in
cane field, with different kinds of vegetable seeds. I used to follow my mother or grandmother
along the bed that was made to plant seeds in order to germinate. I was handed a pan full of maize
seeds for example and told to drop at least two or three seeds in the bed while my mum dropped
some other seeds. It was like a daily routine that we followed nearly half year around before the
cane cutting season started. I attended school at the age of six. My early experience with nature
placed a significant value in my life for outdoor

However, the South Bronx also had an energy emitting from it, and that energy left an indelible mark
on me.
An example: I had the honor to work with a student named Edgar. Edgar was categorized as "Off

father and circumstances outside of school that affected his work ethic. Through everyday tutoring
and coaching, Edgar and I became best buds–even though I felt sometimes hopeless in our education
endeavor. But we kept pushing. On my drive home from City Year, he called me after his statewide
tests to tell me that he passed to the 8th grade.
This felt great, but I wasn't quite sure who learned more from whom. Did I serve Hunts Point or did

management skills and how they wanted me to be on their team. I ended up not making it to the
next few meetings due to work and cheer. We ended up having another meeting and this time we
both came to the conclusion that I needed to be taken off the student leader team since it was not
fair for the people that were showing up. I do not regret the time I spent being apart of the student

It began when we were assembled in the safety of the trench. Then we heard those dreaded words

Then, turning my head again I saw Simon dive to my aid. He did not utter a single word but just
gave a faint grin then promptly looked down at my leg and set to work. He freed me and with a little
help I made it to the safety of the next shell hole. I owed him my life.
Simon refused to stop. He climbed up again to help the others. I tried to tug him back but my
efforts were worthless; seen as I was wounded. Gun shots and shell fire pounded my ears like a
right hand from a heavy weight boxer. I will never forget the next sound I heard. I knew it was the
end so I looked up at the morning sun and prayed towards the heavens. I could hear the screams
penetrating throughout my mind.
Now I'm standing here about to march on to fight in another war, fighting for my dear friend.
When will man kind learn? Now, however, I fear this time I might not be so lucky, especially now,
without Simon, who I did not even get a chance to thank for saving my life. Now I try to put the
thoughts out of my mind with a tear in my eye turning away from the other soldiers so they cannot
see.
I can see a large church in front of me and can hear the sounds of children playing. I begin to think
about the contrast. The young, blameless children playing happily with each other only a short

My Journey in learning to Read
Think back to that first magical moment where someone bought the story alive for you as a
child. I can remember the first time my mother read to me a bedtime story before bed. That
magical moment happened for me when she started to read and all of a sudden it was like the
characters literally lifted off the page. The story almost became like a movie that she had let me
watch that night before I went to bed. A magician is what she was to be able to make abook come to
life right before my eyes. I couldn't wait until I possessed the same magical powers. However, how
surprised I was to find out that my journey to read would not be so smooth or quick as I thought.

How hard it was to make a book come to life. The magician that became my teacher was my
mother. Her guidance gave me hope throughout my learning process. Today, I still constantly try
to improve my reading skills. Each time I read I improve. Day by day I improve so that I can
reveal my own magic when reading an article, book or essay. Even today it takes me a little longer
than most to read the same passage or to be able to fully comprehend what i read. Now I have
come to enjoy what I read more and more. However , I have become more patient with myself
when I read because I have found that I am my own biggest critic. Although my mother and I still
read differently, I have found my own ways of making the books come to life. While my mother
did not teach me to become the best reader ever, she gave me an even better gift. The gift of
making a story come to life before my very eyes. It is this gift that has made me the avid reader that
I am today. There is nothing I enjoy more than a good

Good Narrative Essay Introduction

  • 1. Essay about High School Graduation Day High School Graduation Day Many people have experienced the over whelming excitement that you feel as you approach high school graduation day, and for me, that's a day that I will never forget. The amount of emotions that you feel on graduation day is unbelievable, and I have yet to experience anything else like it. I can remember feeling anxious to celebrate the big day with my friends and family, while at the same time I was panicking thinking about having to walk across the stage in front of that many people. Then, the more I thought about the reality of graduation day, I started to get curious, but nervous, about being able to start a new chapter in my life once graduation day had passed. There are several reasons why I, still...show more content... As the end of the night approached us, I couldn't stop thinking about how many mixed emotions I had about starting a whole new chapter in my life. I couldn't wait to go to college, meet all new people, get a degree so that I could start my career path, but I knew that meant I had to say goodbye to my two best friends, who were moving several hours away from me. This was one of the hardest things I had ever had to do in my life. We all cried a little, and then made promises to keep in touch, and then we were off into the real world! I was very happy to be at this point in my life, but I was scared deep down inside. When I look back on this day now, I still remember every detail as if it was yesterday. I was so proud, and happy to be able to celebrate such an amazing day with all of my friends and family. I know I will never forget how embarrassed I was walking across the stage in front of all of those people, feeling famous after taking so many pictures, making our final memories together at our graduation parties, and then being a nervous wreck when it was time to go out into the world without my best friends at my side. High school graduation day was a very emotional day for me, but it was by far the most exciting day I have ever experienced in my Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 3. The Story of My Life Essay This explains the beginning of my life all the way to the end of my life. My life from the beginning was very fun as I grew up living with my mom's friend and my friend. But there were a lot of fights and I was very hyper back then. I have ADHD so back then when I was little; I was very hyper and wouldn't stop moving around the place. I always was annoying back then and never seemed to get my homework done at school. I was born at Kaiser Hospital during the year 1996. The first place I lived was on the street Via Harriet and was right next to a train. It was always noisy when the train passed by because it shook the house and scared all the animals. It wasn't the best place to live, but we eventually moved to the hills, I don't remember...show more content... Overall I know that I'm going to graduate because I'm pushing hard and all I need to finish is my Cyber High and keep up my grades and I will graduate. I want to go to Chabot College because it's the closest place to go to. I am planning to get my associates degree then transfer to Cal State East Bay University. I don't exactly know the requirements of classes to get into Cal State, but as long as I get my AA degree I should be fine. I am focused on technology and computers; I like to choose classes that can be similar to wiring or soldering. I am not that sure if I would be more focused on computers or wiring, I think an Internship might help me out. My career would be Technician or Electrician because I'm focused on electricity and wanting to discover what would happen without getting electrocuted. I'm still unsure if I just want to work on physical components on the computer. I used to work on computers a lot, but it got boring and I can't do it as great now. Soldering is interesting for me because I get to repair broken wires, being able to strip a wire. When striping a wire, you get to know how the wire is connected. I think a life event for me is to grab my master's degree, which is what I'm focused on. That's like the best degree to get, but it's really difficult to receive. I wouldn't like going to years and years of education, but it's totally worth it. Getting a higher degree affects the amount Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. My Experience With A Patient Essay INTRODUCTION Throughout clinical I have faced countless new experiences. From performing new tasks to having two patients, the last two weeks of clinical have been nothing short of exhilarating. Facing a difficult patient has tested my abilities and how well I am able to adapt to various situations. Moving then to two patients created a busy environment. Having one patient being independent and the other being dependent on me, made for a good balance. However, with the countless medications needing to be administered the past few weeks have been stressful. Learning to manage my time, between the new patients, allowed me to focus on each of their needs. Through this experience I have gained new insight, tied theory together between classes and clinicals as well learned how to handle difficult patients. I have learned where I need to work on, how I intend to better my practice and how I will take my previous experiences and apply them to the future ones. Understanding where I need to improve my practice will give me a better understanding, herby benefiting both my patients and I. WHAT The past two weeks of clinical have been unlike any other. I started each clinical off by completing patient and medication research. This gave me a better understanding on everything that was going on. Following research, I began my clinicals and have since then experienced one in particular instance that will stick with me for a while. I encountered a very difficult patient and Get more content on HelpWriting.net

I waked to the box where my cake was and opened it slowly. I am amazed with design. It was a very detailed looking Kawasaki ninja motorcycle you could see parts of the motor which made it look realistic. I was so happy with how it looked.I turned around and my mom was still looking at me, so I said " Thanks mom it looks really cool with all the details." We all sat down and talked.

  • 6. Personal Narrative: My Tenth Grade English Class I have never been a loud person, and because of that fact I have always loved to read. I find comfort in curling up with a good book and will almost always take staying in reading over going out to see the latest box office hit. In my tenth–grade english class, it was the first time participation through speaking up in class would impact my grade significantly, and consequently I was forced to voice my opinion. The first time I spoke up in class I remember being very nervous to do so. I was afraid my opinion would be wrong or people would not like what I had to say, but as I spoke, I slowly saw heads nodding towards me, whispers of agreement, and finally a positive remark from my teacher for my analysis. From that moment on, I felt comfortable Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Essay Growing Up When I Grow Up.. "Being 'grown up' isn't as fun as the idea of growing up." –AmberGrace Seguin Remember when we were young and all we could think of was growing up and getting to do 'grownup' things? We spent our whole childhood thinking of what we would do when we finally 'grew up', and here we are, almost completely grown up and we still haven't made up our mind of what it is we will do when we grow up. We've painted this pretty little picture in our head of what it'll be like when we eventually do grow up, and when it finally comes for the picture to be taken off the wall and put into action, it's not nearly as fun as creating the painting.

"The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise." –Alden Nowlan As we continue to grow up, we learn that being grown up is not as we imagined it. We once convinced ourselves that growing up was the goal to achieve, and life would be much better once we were in fact grown up. When we in fact do grow up, we think back at our youth and laugh because we thought growing up was the most wondrous thing to accomplish, but now, more than ever, we crave for our youth; for the days we would sit in the grass and daydream of what we are to become when we grow up; and finally for the days when life was simple and we could imagine it any which way we wanted it and no one could do a thing about it.

  • 8. Opening to a Horror Story Essay Opening to a Horror Story They told him the house was haunted. They told him the house was strange. Five families had moved in, and never made it out. Alive anyway. He had already survived two days with his family. His second night in his new home, what could possibly happen? A whispered name. The boy stirs in his sleep. A pale, vaporous moon lights the room. Shadows are deep. He twists his head, turning towards the window so that his face becomes a soft mask, unblemished, colourless. But the boy's dream is troubled; beneath his lids, his eyes dart to and fro. The whispered name: 'Daniel....' Its sound is distant. The boy frowns; yet the voice is within his own slumber, a...show more content... He stands at the door, as if fearing to touch. But he is puzzled. More– he is curious. He twists the handle, the metal's coldness leaping along his arm like iced energy released from a source. The shock is mild against the damp chill of his own body. He pulls the door open and the darkness beyond is more dense; it seems to swell into the bedroom, a waxing shadow. He shrinks away, reluctant to allow contact with this fresh darkness. His vision adjusts, and the inkiness scatters as if weakened by its own sudden growth. He advances again, passing through the doorway to stand shivering on the landing overlooking the staircase. To descend this would be like sinking into the blackest of all pits, for darkness down there appears final. Still the hushed whisper urges: '...Daniel...' He listens for a moment more, perhaps wishing that the minor voice would also rouse his sleeping parents. There is no sound from their room; grief has exhausted their bodies as well as their spirit. He stares into the centre of the darkness below, terribly compelled to descend. The fingers of one hand slide against the wall, as he does so, their tips rippling over the textured wall paper. Disbelief mingles with the fascination and the fear. Small lights– caught from who knows where? At the foot of

Personal Narrative Essay About Immigration Opportunities It was late 1960's and it was a huge deal for someone to leave their whole life , to abandon the house the individual lived in for so long. It's just like starting your life all over again at a new place, in a new house, with new friends, with another language. It's not easy to do that but sometimes that is required to do if you want to guarantee your family to have a better future. This is personal story of a person , but their name is going to stay confidential. Like I said it was the 1960's and all everyone was talking about was how great America is. Many people immigrated from Bulgaria at that time so it wasn't anything new. The individual came to US because they wanted to find new opportunities for a better life....show more content... At a time they used a VISA, but they applied for a passport later on. It wasn't easy there were a bunch of papers that had to be filled in and it took at least 1 year. At first when the individual arrived it felt like she was on another planet. The system, the laws, the way things were done, etc... was divergent. The biggest problem for most immigrants was that they didn't speak the language barrier just like the woman I interviewed. Put yourself in that place. Without knowing the language you can't buy a phone, order food, or even ask where the bathroom is! It's honestly difficult and I am speaking from personal experience except in my case I had a lot of people that helped me out with that problem. Second most important problem was finding a place to live. After that woman had put all of her money into the trip, she didn't have enough to rent an apartment or live together with other people. Luckily for her, she had relatives in Arkansas so she moved in with them. Third hardest part was not knowing where anything is located. In Bulgaria the cities are pretty small compared to the cities here. The cities there are even smaller than the suburbs.Over there Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 11. Personal Narrative: To Be A Good Writer In my freshman year, I needed that help with my grammar and writing. I sought an assistance from the teachers or tutors, but I didn't not receive the help I needed. These are the reasons I cannot be a good writer as I want to be. First, since I didn't get enough or little help from my English teacher, I couldn't advance in writing. So, I tried practicing writing by myself to see if I can do it myself. Practice helped me very little because it was really difficult for me to understand the concept. Also, one of my friends helped me write and I got a little better. My teacher told me to attend tutorial sessions. Second, then when I went to the tutor, the woman did not have enough time to spend with me. my tutor helped me with my writing Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Having a clear understanding of your family background allows you to better appreciate the things that you would normally take for granted. The house, the car, and the average clothing may look better when one sees the sacrifices their family has made. They will see that their family has worked very hard just so their family can experience the better things in life. A persons roots and origin is one of the most important things to explore. It alone can bring you closer to self–discovery. There are two sides to a person's family and one side of my family has...show more content... One of these is that on Thanksgiving everybody comes together to my parents' house in New Jersey for a huge feast. On Christmas only my mother and the children (me and my brother) travel to Illinois to spend a week with my grandparents. On New Years Eve we all get together at my parents' house in New Jersey and toast to the New Year with champagne and apple cider. During Labor Day weekend all of my family travels to South Jersey to my grandfathers' condo. We usually spend all of our time on the beach and barbequing, except on Sunday when we go to church. After all, my grandfather is a minister. One of our biggest family traditions is going back to Puerto Rico. Every year my mother and I travel back to Puerto Rico for a portion of our summer vacation. Now that I am older I travel there more often and stay there much longer. My father never joins because he doesn't like my mothers side of the father too much and he thinks that we when we speak Spanish we are all plotting against him. Of course that's not true though. My bother doesn't speak Spanish so he doesn't like to go either. I guess that tradition is one that belongs solely to my mother and I.

  • 13. Literacy Narrative Essay example At this point in my life I find myself in an interesting predicament regarding my attitudes toward reading and writing; more so towards reading. Years ago I used to love reading books for pleasure but nowadays I find myself reading things that little to no effort to digest. This includes the very basic posts on facebook expressing one's opinion on something or articles and threads on reddit discussing topics I find intriguing. Perhaps it's the severe senioritis that has overcome me as I enter my last semester at Chapman University. As I've gotten lazier I can see it start to reflect in my everyday life. Deep down I still love to read but I rarely find myself getting truly invested into the action unless it relates to something I am very...show more content... You can feed the mind as much as you want and it will never get full of reading. Sadly, I'm not the same person that I was. I guess you could say it's part of growing up. It never really was intentional but it's just the way how it ended up. On the other hand my attitudes toward writing are very different. First let me say that deep down I truly do not like to write. I myself don't personally like to write for leisure or pleasure but rather I write because I believe it is one of the most important aspects of being able to communicate with those around you, both personally and professionally. To put differently, my attitude towards writing is that I write because I need to write and survive in the world around me. I write because I have to, not because I want to. Hopefully this somewhat makes sense. To better explain let me make a comparison. When I am assigned a writing assignment or I am writing because the action is being forced upon me I find myself not enjoying the process and overall the end result is subpar. The perfect example of this would be my junior year in high school when I was enrolled in AP english literature. I dreaded the majority of the class simply because there was so much writing involved in the entire course and therefore I was constantly writing just to get a grade. Being forced to write in such high volume every week for an entire school year was not enjoyable for myself and as a result the Get more content on HelpWriting.net

I sighed deeply "one sixty." "damn" he said, looking down as we turned around and walked home.

  • 15. Personal Narrative Essay : A Trip To The Beach It's a very warm typical July day. There is a big hurricane in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. I can guarantee that there are so many people going to the beach. After Joey thought that he grabbed his necklace off his nightstand and put it around his neck and held the cross for a few seconds more than he usually does everyday. "Cole let's go to the beach, the waves are like 7 to 8 feet!" Joey exclaimed to Cole over the text. Joey rode his bike over to Cole's house. "Joey I'm asking my dad to drive us to the beach I don't want to ride my bike." Joey looks at the waves and gets scared. "Dude, where are we going to put our things it's packed?" Cole unpacked the bags with the boards in them. Joey and Cole went to the shore to get their fins and fin socks on. Joey got his fins on first and started to paddle out. The current was insane. Cole was following Joey out to where the waves were starting to form. Joey got a nice wave and had a barrel. The current was so strong that Joey had an idea. His idea was to go on the right side of the jetty and tried to get pulled to the left and land where everyone else is. Cole told him before they went to the beach because he knew that there was a current. It was not a good idea because if a wave came, he could get smashed into it. Joey was not acting smart, so he decided to not listen to Cole. Joey walked over to the left side of the jetty. "Cole are you, coming?" Joey exclaimed. Cole just ignored Joey. Joey was so excited because he Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 16. My Belief As A Teacher Essay Narrative Essay Introduction The narrative essay aims to define a metaphor that is specific to me and explores my belief as a teacher. I will relate this metaphor to my personal history and the experiences that have contributed towards the person who I am and the beliefs that I hold about myself as a teacher. I will further touch on the practical and personal experiences that have helped shape who I am. The research that underpins children's learning and development. Finally it goes to explore the image I hold towards young children's learning and development. Metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison (Metaphor, n. d.) The metaphor that I have chosen for myself is a "tree of knowledge". I was born and raised in Fiji, with a background in farming. My parents were farmers and childhood was spent not playing with toys but playing in cane field, with different kinds of vegetable seeds. I used to follow my mother or grandmother along the bed that was made to plant seeds in order to germinate. I was handed a pan full of maize seeds for example and told to drop at least two or three seeds in the bed while my mum dropped some other seeds. It was like a daily routine that we followed nearly half year around before the cane cutting season started. I attended school at the age of six. My early experience with nature placed a significant value in my life for outdoor Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. Personal Narrative: Introduce Yourself Introduce yourself–Full name, from Ann Arbor, Michigan Ask question: How many of you knew exactly what you wanted to do after high school? I had no idea, and the cost of college with no purpose was unappealing But I figured that the best way to learn about myself is to serve others, I believe that it transfers focus from yourself to a higher purpose–allowing you to ultimately realize what's important So wow that I realized that I wanted to embark on some sort of service, I began my search In my search for community service, I stumbled across City Year, an international non–profit devoted to improving the high school graduation rate through the ABCs (attendance, coursework, and behavior). In all of the hubs, NY appealed the...show more content... However, the South Bronx also had an energy emitting from it, and that energy left an indelible mark on me. An example: I had the honor to work with a student named Edgar. Edgar was categorized as "Off Track" at the beginning of the year. He, unfortunately, was a prototypical student, with an absentee father and circumstances outside of school that affected his work ethic. Through everyday tutoring and coaching, Edgar and I became best buds–even though I felt sometimes hopeless in our education endeavor. But we kept pushing. On my drive home from City Year, he called me after his statewide tests to tell me that he passed to the 8th grade. This felt great, but I wasn't quite sure who learned more from whom. Did I serve Hunts Point or did it serve me? I don't know if I'll ever be quite sure, but what I am sure about is that I realized to never lose perspective. I have been granted an enormous amount of privilege in my life. I don't feel guilty for it, but I do feel a Get more content on HelpWriting.net

I was already involved in coloabash, senior board, student council, cheer, applied leadership, and worked at Francesca's. Plus trying to find the right college and fill out all the applications. It turned out my mom was right and I started not being able to go to the student leader meetings and some of the event. I ended up having a meeting with pastor Andrew and his wife to talk about why I have been missing so much and explained how busy I was, so they told me I needed to work on time management skills and how they wanted me to be on their team. I ended up not making it to the next few meetings due to work and cheer. We ended up having another meeting and this time we both came to the conclusion that I needed to be taken off the student leader team since it was not fair for the people that were showing up. I do not regret the time I spent being apart of the student leader team. I have started to read more books about becoming a leader and applying them to my Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 19. War Story- Personal Narrative Essay War Story– Personal Narrative Finally we got a well deserved break from what seemed like our endless marching. As we stopped pain shot up my left leg like a bullet. I looked automatically to my right. Nobody was there. My best friend Simon would usually stand there, as he had in the war before, I could imagine the grin on his face. The images of all those years ago started to play in my mind...

He did not utter a single word but just gave a faint grin then promptly looked down at my leg and set to work. He freed me and with a little help I made it to the safety of the next shell hole. I owed him my life. Simon refused to stop. He climbed up again to help the others. I tried to tug him back but my efforts were worthless; seen as I was wounded. Gun shots and shell fire pounded my ears like a right hand from a heavy weight boxer. I will never forget the next sound I heard. I knew it was the end so I looked up at the morning sun and prayed towards the heavens. I could hear the screams penetrating throughout my mind. Now I'm standing here about to march on to fight in another war, fighting for my dear friend. When will man kind learn? Now, however, I fear this time I might not be so lucky, especially now, without Simon, who I did not even get a chance to thank for saving my life. Now I try to put the thoughts out of my mind with a tear in my eye turning away from the other soldiers so they cannot see. I can see a large church in front of me and can hear the sounds of children playing. I begin to think about the contrast.
