Personal Narrative: My Initial Thoughts

I rush into my home and run up the stairs to my room. I jump on my bed and roll over to my laptop and open it quickly. I log onto the One Direction site and see that I made it in time to see the bid. I scroll and try and find my name and I see I'm in third place for the tickets and the time is running out. I've already bid $7000 for three tickets and backstage passes. The reason it's so expensive is because these passes are the last set of passes for their concert. 5sos is also playing so we would be meeting two bands and hearing both of them play.

Her father’s words echoed through her head as one might hear a reverberation throughout the Taj Mahal. Continuous. Chilling. Having no control to distill the wavelengths until they mellowed out on their own accord. She tried to anatomize the depth of his phrase, more than dutifully needed but Davina needed to know why. Why did she need to keep an open mind and more importantly, who the hell was about to come bursting through that door. But then again, did it really matter in the first place. When she thought about it, the brunette could have laughed at the idea. That an unattributed, faceless figure had her panties in a bunch. Surely Dominic wouldn’t think to waste her time with venial diversions,

Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?

When I walked into the store, I was greeted by the sales associate, Cathy. She came over and asked me how she can help me today. I replied that I was looking for a new mattress and was told by a co-worker that they had a new Sleep Number bed and I was interested in finding out about them. The associate asked me about my current mattress and what I was looking for in a new mattress. After I answered her questions, she led me over to the demonstration mattress and asked me to lie down. She gave me the demonstration and then asked me to come over to the m7 mattress and lie down on that mattress. The associate then demonstrated the adjustable frame of the m7. She then gave me the laminated pricing sheet and explained that there was a current

Some people are born with talents, others with brains, and some with beauty. However, I would like to think I was born with all the above, but most of all I was born with the innate gift of serving others. While growing up as a preacher’s kid, I witnessed my father help others by empowering them, motivating them, and praying for them. Observing how supportive my dad was of others I thought I want to do the same thing, but I knew I did not want to be a preacher. Growing up as a beautician’s daughter, I watched my mother improve others by building their self-esteem, being a listening ear, and sharing knowledge when necessary. I recall looking at my mother thinking I want to be that type of person when I grow up. I lacked the talents and creativity

There are many avocations that I would chose from. But, more specifically, I would aspire to be a unique, “at home style” photographer. Being able to capture simple moments in a strange place like Elsewhere seems so interesting to do. Each day I would grab my camera, go outside, stroll around and observe nature. I would be able to go outside and capture moments of people, the warm sky, or anything that I would want to. The thing is, there are no limits to photography

My results from the self-assessment for both modules two and three are as follows: I am a capable communicator, my problem solving ability is hit or miss, I have a moderate locus of control, I have a little sign of burnout, and I have a low to moderate chance of becoming ill in the future. I was not surprised with the majority of my results however; I believe that my problem solving ability is dependent upon my course of action. I had shared in my first milestone I have chosen to improve myself financially, emotionally, and physically. The assessments completed within both modules two and three can attest why I have chosen to improve myself. I had chosen to build my vocabulary as an aspect of my emotional improvement. It has been quite difficult

I enlisted into the United States Navy and shipped off to boot camp on January 1, 1996. The Navy gave me an opportunity to escape a small town, stand on my own, and grow as a person. My first duty assignment was in Millington, Tennessee working as an administrative assistant to the Officer in Charge of Personnel Support Detachment, Memphis. I could never say the roads I took in life were easy, but looking back over the years every stop along the way had a purpose and I have been truly been blessed.

The biggest challenge I faced coming into this class was stepping out of my comfort zone and gaining confidence in my writing. During this semester at Indiana State University, I have discovered many various writing skills while attending English 105. I have learned several writing techniques, different forms of MLA formatting, and how to research and properly use and cite multiple diverse sources in a research paper. By performing assigned tasks and completing practical class exercises, I was able to practice those skills and put them to use.

I'm a senior at beatrice high school i'm in welding two and woods two and building construction i'm in advanced conditioning to help better myself physically. I hope to join the military or go into the field of construction .I like fishing and hunting. I moved around a lot when I was little I lived in Beatrice and Pickrell and Blue springs and back to Beatrice.

I worked at the same place for two years. Although I had a sense of normalcy, my position changed overnight. I have been promoted from an Ohio Thrift employee to a manager. During my first official day of becoming a manager, I endured multiple tests on what it takes to run a business. Along the way, I acquired responsibility, authority, and knowledge.

Throughout my life I have learned that you should never lie, cheat steal, and to never be a coward. What I notice if you don't do any of these things you are counted as a nice and trusting person. Also when you do those things you get an awful pit in your stomach. This automatically makes me realize that doing this is wrong. My reasoning for know it wrong is because of it harms another or yourself it is automatically wrong. That if you are fine with doing these thing then people view you as untrustworthy and not someone they would want to be around and be friend.

Have you ever had something happen in your life that you didn't fully understand, or you didn't understand at all? I know I have. I've had many. I will be talking about a lot of things I didn't understand then, and I still don’t understand now. Maybe I will understand them as I go along. Some things I'll understand, and some I'll partially understand, and some things will still remain a mystery. There are lot of things that has happened to me that I don’t understand, and maybe I could figure it out throughout this essay. You'll get to know who done this to me, what happened, when it happened, where it happened, why it happened, and how it all went down. All of the things that happened effected me emotionally, financially, and socially.

"This book really me think about all of us can be force to behave in ways we don't wan't, but life ani't easy and puts you through situations we can no controll.

“Help.” I’ll never forget how she said it. She was terrified because, for the first time in her life, she wasn’t in control of her body. She had already passed out before, so her voice was frail and weak. She needed help. She was pale in the face and her lips were a dark shade of blue. She was experiencing many life-threatening symptoms, and she needed to leave, fast. I looked around, but I was alone. And honestly, I was afraid. The burden of another human being’s life was now on my shoulders, and my decisions in the next couple of minutes would be the deciding factor between her life and death. Doing the only thing I could, I radioed in to get someone to our location, and I sat with her. For the longest 2 minutes of my life, I talked to this woman. I asked her about her day, her life, anything to get her mind off the fact that she might die. As soon as people arrived, I knew I had to do something. I immediately put her on emergency oxygen and we all helped her on to the nearest boat and drove her to the front, where an ambulance was waiting. She ended up being okay.
