The use of a narrative as the genre for this project was the most effective way to communicate the story behind my realization about the importance of writing to my audience. The purpose of my narrative was to recount my experiences in English class from my junior and senior years of high school with a specific teacher named Ms. Crowther. The intended audience for this narrative would be my peers. Therefore, I wrote my narrative in such a way that my peers may relate to it and may even see a mirror
“I am not who I once was,” I’ve carried this quote with me for my entire life. It was a catalyst for me, helping to shape my life, leading me to a better future. Growing up I dedicated my life to drugs and anarchy. I was a terror who cared for nothing and felt like I was owed everything by the world. Then I lost my father. Nothing made sense anymore; I was wandering through life lost, like a child fumbling in the dark grasping for something to hold onto. This moment caused me to realize that the
This story reminds me a movie called “The Hunger Games”.Those two familiar scenes all described a weird fact—The luckiest man is also the most unfortunate man. To be honest,I already knew the ending of this story while villagers talking about some places have already given up lotteries.I was not surprised that it won’t be a funny story,but after I read the ending,I still felt sad.My brain was totally blank within a few minutes,breath became heavy and I opened my mouth without one word.I want to
When I started writing this paper, I didn’t know how it would turn out. I never expected to create a 42 year old alcoholic midget as my main character. I struggled most with deciding which element of a story I wanted to focus on, since I didn’t want to do something too elementary or too burdensome. I finally decided to focus on character in my writing, because it gave me freedom to be expressive in one thing. My favorite part of the story is how I gave the reader the feeling that Nathan was talking
Growing up in generation where technology is constantly growing and changing, it’s hard not to have some interest in the development. Seeing my dad always working with computers and enjoying his job was what sparked my interest. When I was 6, my dad brought home an old laptop from his workplace and rather than using it to play educational games like I was supposed to, I spent most of my time exploring everything there was to display on the screen. Although I didn’t understand anything at the time
Personal Narrative Everything that you do, every choice that you make has an ultimate response to the influence in your life. These choices can have a good overall response on you or a poor influence. It’s best to make the right decision to have a positive effect on yourself and the peers around you. For me I have made a life changing commitment that has changed my life completely and that is choosing to receive Jesus as my savior. I am a new person at that, I have a new sense of direction for
Over the summer, my best friend and I experienced an unparalleled event that blessed the both of us. We saved a life: a dog’s life. This incredible opportunity allowed us to commit a completely selfless act and change a life for the better. In those moments when we rescued the dog, who we christened with the name Spero, we focused on things other than ourselves. Our priorities shifted from worldly to godly. Saving Spero changed the way I view the purpose of life. Instead of living to satisfy my own
As any young adult could image, being awarded a $10,000 grant can be life changing. That was the easiest way I could express it when I received the Gold Medallion during the Raiders commencement ceremony. Overwhelmed with all kinds of emotions, one thing I knew is that I wanted to change the world, I just had to figure out how. With the award, came along the generous grant that would be the start to my journey. I began to think of what I could do with all of this money. I thought about how
The Lovely Game: Soccer One of my favorite activities to do is to play soccer. I could kick a soccer ball around all day. Nothing is more fun than getting my soccer uniform on and competing with other teams with your best friends by your side. I believe everyone should pick up this recreational sport because it is a great stress reliever, and it is a great way to get into physical shape. What’s my favorite part about this activity? It’s really just the love of the game. It’s the people in the stands
She’s my Superwoman The loud high pitched beeping goes off at 4:30 every morning Monday through Friday and never is never silent from sickness; thirteen hundred kids are relying on her. In 15 minutes, she showers, brushes her teeth, puts her hair up, and is out the door. She doesn’t wear, or need, makeup and the curling iron maybe turns on twice a year. Her skin is soft and porous, but you’d never guess she’s 44. She comes in my room every morning, gently places her hand on me while I sleep and
