Personal Narrative: A Day At The Kay Bailey Convention Center
The president walks on stage, the crowd goes wild. Then all the screens show a number that everyone was shocked to see. That number was how much money we had raised with one little bracelet, that was donation only. We left the school at 10:30 a.m. on a bright and sunny Monday morning. Our original plan was to leave at 10, but Cutter was late. We managed to get twelve people and all of their luggage on a little, tiny route bus. By the time we reached Clarendon, we realized that our little buses main air conditioner had broken. We were very upset, and the reason we were upset is because we were going to be in a bus without an air conditioner for five hours. Even though it seemed like the trip took days, we finally made it to the Dallas area. In the end we calculated that it took us almost eight hours, and this wasn’t counting the hour we spent in Cabela’s. After we went to Cabela’s we went to our hotel and checked in. Since convention started the next day, we just stayed at the hotel and relaxed. On Tuesday morning we woke up and slowly put on our official dress. Then after we got ready we ate breakfast and then got on the hot bus. It took us a while to get to the Kay Bailey Convention Center since we didn’t really know where it was. After we got checked into convention, Mrs. Whatley made us go …show more content…
Before the dance we had a fun night where we got to watch a girl from White Deer sing. We had a blast at the dance. Katelyn probably didn’t though, since she was out of dress code and wasn’t allowed in. During and after the dance we got to meet three of our state officers and take pictures with them. After the dance half of the chapter went to a Denny’s that was across the street from our hotel. We had a very interesting time in Denny’s. Katelyn got freaked out because these do guys came in and on of the workers started yelling at them. In the end we got our food and didn’t get

    I walked into the doors of Statehouse Expo Center, my feet walking with the sound of my bag rolling over the little cracks on the light floor tile, my white uniform as crisp as a fall breeze. With every step further, I could see more people. Lots more people. The mats filled with people. People who spend their whole lives working to be where they are, on those mats. Sparring, combat, weapons and forms. XMA in one corner, Black Belts in another corner, everyone else in a corner and staging in a corner. All surrounded by a Sr. Master or the occasional Master. When we get to a tournament, our team always meets up. Then all the kids go explore. We found our team and all the kids put away their IPads and Kindle Fires.…

    My political viewpoint has changed dramatically since I was first introduced to politics. I come from a democratic family, where it is strongly believed that it is the government’s responsibility to care for all people and that the government knows what is best for all people. Every voting season, my parents vote for a democratic president and explain to me the reasoning behind their decision. It was not until I was in the tenth grade that I realized that I did not hold the same political beliefs as my parents. After taking several political quizzes and extensively researching the bevy of political parties, I now know that I am an independent. What is an independent? An independent is an individual politician not affiliated to any political…

    The 2016 Presidential Election was easily the most negative Election in recent history. Apart from my policy disagreements with President Elect Trump, I am morally repulsed by his conduct. My Hispanic friends were offended by the insinuation a that Mexican immigrants were criminals and a unwanted burden on the United States. My female friends were terrified by his misogyny and open, joking (at best) attitude towards sexual assault. I was disgusted by his disdain for the environment and the truth.…

    I always keep this poem and picture in my wallet. I take it everywhere with me because it means quite a lot to me in two very different ways. One of those ways is because it holds sentimental value. When I was younger I learned to read very late in life and I was always so embarrassed of that. My father knew that I was struggling and bought me the book, Where the Sidewalk Ends. It is a book full of poems and little pictures written by Shel Silverstein. I remember opening the book to ta random page, and it was the page with this poem. I then remember my dad asking me to read it to him. I was so uncomfortable, even thought I was just going to be reading to my dad. He gave me some words of encouragement, and even thought I was not able to read…

    My beautiful was for us contestants to showcase our talent. I was able to showcase my talent through a beautiful spoken word titled “Why It Got to Be Me”.

    I arrived to a church crowded with friends and family. So many people had gone to St. John’s Cathedral to witness the simple, yet elegant, tradition. There were also relatives from Mexico and Puerto Rico who took the long tiring trip to attend. I was honored to see so many people there on my special day. My court of honor led the way into the church. When it was my turn to walk down the aisle, soft music was played by the organist. I felt like a princess walking in my big, beautiful ball gown. My gown was similar to a wedding dress except it was a pastel pink. When the ceremony started it was nerve racking. I was thinking about my hair and people staring at me from behind, and hoping my tiara or…
