Personal Narrative: Check Engine
On the morning of December 12th I was getting ready to leave my house at 6:20 a.m. for my 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. final. When I got in my car, 2001 Jeep Wrangler that is Navy Blue, and started my car my check engine light came on immediately. My oil and temperature levels were very high. I asked my Dad, Brad Houchen, to come check my car and as he looked he noticed that he believed that my car was leaking oil. He did not feel comfortable letting me drive my car to campus, which is twelve miles away. He did not want my car to break down along the way which could lead to my engine being messed up and me missing my final. He told me to take my Mom’s car, 2011 Nissan Armada, to school and he would take my car to our repair shop, All American Automotive.

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Quality

    A personal quality that is important to me is my willingness to try new things. This quality did not surface until I graduated high school-- I felt somewhat restricted during those years. After my first semester at community college the eagerness to explore new activities, and learn about new topics began to appear. Because of this quality-- a quality that can sometimes hide amongst the rest-- I would not have discovered by passion for my desired major.…

    Personal Narrative Analysis

    Psychological motives involve biological, social, and personal motives. In my daily life, I encounter biological motives in every situation. These are the necessities of every human being which have to be satisfied. I’ve been experiencing an intense desire for sleep because I don’t get to have enough sleep during week days due to school and priorities. There are also some instances wherein I have to deal with the avoidance of pain in order to meet success. One time, we had our project out of school and I wasn’t feeling well but we have to finish our task as to what is expected from us. I tried acting like everything’s alright and fortunately, I was able to fulfill the tasks given to me. Hunger is always part of my daily struggles. When I feel…

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Characteristics

    My actions are always a direct showcase of my personal characteristics. A few that are particularly important are having patience, being non-judgmental, and thinking creatively. I learned a majority of my patience through my position as a research position. Research does not have immediate results; a good experiment takes time. My seemingly menial tasks, such as entering data, eventually contributed to the final product. I learned to be non-judgmental in my time shadowing an obstetrician, where I interacted with patients with so many stories. To judge them would cause a disservice, and potentially harm them. Finally, I learned to think creatively during my time at the Guild for Human Services. Each student was unique in his or her problems,…

    Personal Narrative: The Criminal Justice System

    The police said it was a robbery and that my father car was found stripped and left up on blocks. My father was barely hanging on for dear life when one of the attorneys from his old job came to tell me that his disability would now be cut off because there would be no way to tell if his injuries was from the job or from the robbery. Oh, but if that wasn’t adding salt to an already open wound, Mack Cannoli arrived to ask me how was I going to pay my father’s debt now that he can’t. What the man had offered as a way to help pay the debt had me taking a swing at him, but his men stopped me. Luckily, the police officer who was investigating the robbery walked in.…

    Personal Narrative On Track

    Track was tougher than previously believed. I sit down on the warm, grainy turf, realizing the amount of pain ahead of me. As I watch the heat before me run their hearts out, the announcer calls us forward. Right then, everything slowed down. All external stimuli was blocked out. The only thing heard was my heartbeat. Blood rushed through my body towards my feet and legs. A tingling sensation began in my stomach. My hands started to calm down, along with all the nerves in my upper body. The sprinting form started to go through my head. The slender man dressed in a shady rain coat and glowy hair pointed the gun towards the sun. Runners from different schools sized up their opponents. A certain feeling went through the air, like a ghost telling…

    Personal Narrative: For The Long Run

    As I type this essay, I am listening to the playlist that I would put on shuffle every time I put my headphones on for roughly one and a half years. I am listening to this playlist in order to help me express the feelings I had felt during one of the toughest times of my life. The playlist consists of a variety songs about heartbreak, wishful thinking, dying dreams, the kind of music you would listen to after a breakup. Because that is what this felt like- a breakup. This was not a mutual breakup though, as I did not want the split from this sport to happen. The sport that I was infatuated with was running. It was my way of escaping the stresses of life. When I was told on April 10th, 2017 that I would have to part from running, my heart shattered.…

    Personal Narrative: My Limited Behavior

    The results also state, that I tend to establish routines and procedures, prefer to maintain the status quo, and want a secure and predictable work environment I beg to differ, as a child growing up to present, I dare to be different, I never follow the crowd. I challenge the crowd. I like taking risks to some degree. I am not an extremist; however, I will venture out to the unknown. If I am not comfortable with the group or the conversation I will voice my opinion on why I will not be a part of the group and/or the conversation. To a certain degree I like to make a good impression, I believe it stems from the culture I grew up in; there is a high expectation for respect. Respect your elders, respect authority, if I am on a student in a class,…

    Personal Narrative: What I Believe

    Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway." You have one shot at life and doing what others believe is best for you is not the way to live. My dad may not be as sophisticated as Eleanor Roosevelt, but they have similar ideas of how you should do what you believe is right no matter what others think. My father once told me, "It's your life, live it the way you want to live it and do not let anyone stand in the way of your dreams; always remember to stand up for what you believe in." It wasn't until recently that I started to truly understand what my father told me.…

    As a freshman I was the top ranked player in 4a Basketball. Weeks from state, seconds left on the clock of a tied game, I drove to the basket and drew a foul. I have to make these free throws. I took one step toward the line, as a sharp pain shot up my leg. I fell to the floor screaming in pain. An MRI revealed that I had torn every ligament in my right knee. Not being able to walk, being on the sidelines, physical therapy and my injury in general was the hardest challenge I had ever faced, but I overcame it.…

    The blaring ring of the alarm clock runs through my ears, marking the end of my pleasant six-hour sleep. I’m looking at the time and fumbling my hand next to me, managing to hit the snooze button and relapse back to my sleep. Repeating this several times, I eventually decided to get up, and turned off the alarm. I grabbed the towel lying on top of my chair, and turn around only to sneak a glance at the time. I stumble through the bathroom, flick the light switch brace myself for the glare of the lights as I struggle to open my eyes. After taking a nice, hot shower, I quickly got dressed and made my way to the kitchen. After my breakfast, I woke up my mom and told her to drop me off. She got up, and drove me to school.…
