Personal Narrative: Karrie

Lauren Rezac- My weekend did not really start off to exciting. Right after my Fast-Pitch game I was picked up by my dad in our 1962 jeep. When we got home we had supper and we all stayed up for a little bit and went to bed. On Saturday I had the house to myself, my dad was helping our neighbors while my mom and sister were in ST.Cloud.So When I was at home I was pretty bored so I did what most bored kids I know would do turn up the music and make a little mess, basically I made slime. When mom and Alexis came back my sister got a call from my dad to go help out so I went with her.I helped by steering the tractor when she got bored and she did the speed and stuff like that. On Sunday we gave mom her gifts then we got ready to trapshooting me

The next couple of years were essential to the growth of our friendship and bond that we formed as siblings. From helping with homework to baking together, my siblings and I formed an unbreakable bond. Following many years of support, I finally understood the meaning of family; they are one unit and travel as one. If there is ever an obstacle for one member, everyone has to endure it. Travel forward to present time, I love both David and Alysa with open arms. Both of them have enlightened and opened doors to new perspectives into the world of love and stability that any brother has to endure. As they reach to me for support, I always make sure to provide both David and Alysa with advice and countless paths to

One can say my relationship with my sister is umm... complicated; one minute we’re fine and the next we want to rip out each others eyeballs. But yet, so many other siblings are like that too, so my sister and I are nothing spectacularly out of the ordinary. In fact, one can say we have a healthy sibling relationship, because of this weird love-hate complex. One great example of an average sibling relationship comes from Harper Lee’s book, To Kill a Mockingbird, where Jem and Scout Finch have a very iconic sibling relationship. My relationship with my sister is extremely similar to Jem and Scout’s relationship.

On April 26th,1999 I emerged into the world a happy baby given the name Bethany Gavin. I’m now in year 12 and I attend Cooks Hill Campus, Big Picture. My education began here in year 10 after leaving three years of home schooling and have grown as a student as the years have gone on.

Aging up I lived with my mother and I visit my father on some of the weekend and my parents are divorced ever since I was a little girl. I only have a grandfather that lives in Mexico. I grew up living with 3 sisters . Katie is my twin sister we are fraternal and she comes to this high

We played a soccer game yesterday against Buhler, we beat them 5-1 our first win of the season. Unfortunately I got injured within like 5 minutes of the game, I sprained my ankle and it hurt really bad so I had to go out of the game for a little bit so the coach could wrap my ankle. After about 5 minutes of walking on it I started getting used to the pain. So the coach asked me if I was good to play, so I said yes. I ended up going back in with about 30 minutes left, so when I went back in coach put me as the striker which is the attacking position. Their team wasn’t so good so I ended up running a bunch because I’m fast and can produce chances. I got a couple of chances to score but didn’t get a goal, Juan Castillo got a goal and that basically ended the half. At half

Few relationships are as special as the bond between sisters. Siblings know us greater than even we know ourselves sometimes; it’s through this insight, their insight, that we can see ourselves better and grow into who we aspire to be. My relationship with my sister is no exception; she’s my best friend. She’s a part of why I am who I am today, and it all started with a name.

Mackenzie, I'm glad to see someone with the same beliefs as I. Religion was never forced upon me as a child, but I did go to church every Sunday and also to bible school. I went through a stage of questions as I was going through my confirmation. These questions that I came up with made me question everything because what I asked, always went unanswered. During a mission trip that I went on with my church my senior year, I was able to see that nothing can truly be answered by anyone but God. Many may disagree but to me its what I believe. After hearing stories of people struggling in their lives from taking care of a family with no money, having no food to eat, being homeless. I was able to realize that God put these people on earth to teach

The fights we had throughout the years, the late conversations about life and the little inside jokes that we have are the foundation of who I am today. They give those little quirks, they give me the feistiness and zip to my personality. They make me, me and I thank them for that. When I look back on the arguments and the fights I laugh because I think about where we are today and how funny we would find the situations. Without my sister's I wouldn't know how I would be sane to this day. They keep me level headed and mindful of my actions. Even on those days that I'm mad at them or their mad at me, I stop to think would my sisters be proud of this. Some days I even try a little harder most days and I see them falling off. Even though they don’t like to admit it they look up to me and I look up to them too. No matter how much we argue and fight our relationship has grown to where we have a respect for each that we know we only want the best for each other. We know that we wouldn't do anything to hurt each

Kammi Kolanko is my mother and hero. She is 37 years old and works at a school as a substitute teacher in the Norwin Elementary School. She also lives in a house on 1180 Pinewood Road Irwin PA 15642. She helps me with my homework and makes sure I have everything ready for school in the morning each day. She also makes sure I have a good packed lunch for every day in school. She is a person who is an amazingly good and fast cook. She wants us, her kids, to not become selfish. She also wants us to lead productive lives. She hopes we can be kind people when we grow up.

Since the first day of kindergarten, Lauri Bruning and I quickly became best friends. We hit it off immediately and were inseparable from the very start. Lauri had always been an awkwardly long, gawky child. Pairing that with her blonde hair, I used to call her a banana. She had funny mannerisms, round wire-framed glasses, and a gap between her front teeth. We were both painfully shy and didn’t have many other friends, so Lauri and I often had sleepovers at each other’s houses where we could celebrate in our weirdness together. In the summer, Lauri would came to my house, where we would pretend to be magical mermaids in my parent’s pool. Then when we went to Lauri’s house, we would push each other on her tire swing at the edge of the woods

Throughout my childhood years my sister, my brother and I were very close because we were living with each other, at the time. Unfortunately, now my brother lives on his own with his family and my sister is away to college; therefore we are not as close as we used to when we did live together. Despite my siblings and I being close with each other many years ago, now we are struggling to hold onto our sibling bond. As time has gone on, I believe my sister and I share a closer relationship to each other rather than my brother and I. Although, one would believe we all are alike because we were so close to each other, my brother and sister have many differences.

Have you ever known someone so well they will forever be your best friend? That is the experience of having a sister. The interpretation of the word sister can be taken in numerous ways. The dictionary definition of a sister is “a woman or girl in relation to other daughters and sons of her parents.” Even though this definition is accurate, it does not go into further detail on what an actual sister is. Sisters create another form of love that is deeper than any connection imaginable. The relationship between sisters is complicated and effortless at the same time. Some people may believe that sisters can be aggravating, although, overall this is not true, instead they usually show their love through a special bond and competitive instincts.

I’ve always heard the phrase “we were given two ears, and one mouth”, but it never clicked with me until I was much older and had experienced this first hand.

I come from a four-person family. My mom and dad have always been in my life therefore they are the people who raised me. After seeing my parents have a successful marriage, it has influenced me to want the same thing in life and having my first marriage be my last. I have an older sister who is 23. While growing up, me and my sister had a very close relationship. As we grew up, we started to drift apart. I learned a lot from being the youngest child. While being 3 years younger than my sister Taylor, watching her grow up and deal with situations taught me many personal life lessons. Watching her grow up taught me the good and bad things in life and helped me follow the right path. While going through school, I already knew what to expect when it came to the class description and the teacher just by having my sister go through it just a couple years before me. Even though being the younger sister, my whole life is all I know, I couldn’t imagine
