Personal Narrative: Bam ! My Face
Bam! My face is up against the now very noticeable screen door just like the birds in the Windex commercial. It was ten young years ago, and seven year old me was attending the annual summer party on Windsor Court. A respectful little one I was (and still am). I resented negative attention like the pelage. Sickening to think that I had let myself go at just seven years old. My determination had gotten the absolute best of all my being. “If you want your candy kabob, you have got to get running.”

As a marketing intern for Shelf Genie of Pittsburgh, I pay great attention to detail and learn from my authority. As a young student finding her way, I have job shadowed to lock in my decision to become a marketing major at
