Personal Narrative-Day Life: The Southern Woman
I'm a wife, a momma of 3, momma to 4 dogs and a cat, Southerner through and through, a wonderer trying to find my place, a outdoor enthusiast, a half ass ok artist.

I live in a mad house full of males who I love to death, but drive me bonkers. My day to day life is full of love one minute, annoyance the next, and then wanting to pull my hair out madness. My everyday is life is one adventure and twist and turn after another.

**** Randomness about me****

I grew up in a very small town, so small it only had one traffic light and was a 25 minute drive to anywhere in any direction we went.

I am a terrible cook, which I know I know is horrible considering that the southern woman is supposed to be a perfect cook.

I am still in college...

    Personal Narrative: Shirley Rae Harrington

    My maternal grandmother Shirley Rae Harrington grew up during World War Two. But despite the war, she lived a somewhat normal childhood. When she was young there were very few other children in the area to play with and her younger sister, Sissy, was paralyzed. So she often played by herself in a stream nearby. Her family also owned several horses, chickens, pigs and a billy goat. Surprisingly she didn't get into much trouble as a child, except once when her family was down in our properties Maryland. People were racing speedboats in the creek, so she asked a neighbor who her family knew if she could go. He said yes and took her in his own boat when they got back her parents were fine but Mimi was upset with her. Her first travel experience…

    Personal Narrative: A Day In Memphis

    A day in Memphis is not complete without the diversity in our community. As a second generation Memphian who has primarily lived in Midtown, I had the privilege of watching several different cultures in one place and especially now that I attended one of the largest public schools. Daily, I experience someone else’s world. The people I get to meet and see are from various backgrounds: race, religion, ethnicity, etc. that I may never comprehend, which is wonderful. In Memphis, it is normal to be an enigma, to have idiosyncrasies. I believe that is the heart of Memphis. What makes this heart surpass discrimination is the acceptance that follows years of diversity. My neighborhood has single mothers whose children play with the neighborhood adolescents.…

    Personal Narrative: The Civil War Legacy

    The Civil War legacy still has an impact on Americans today. Today, most Americans look at the Civil War in an awe-inspired perspective. People try to skip over the blood and ugliness that resulted because of it, and instead try to focus on the courage and heroic deeds that soldiers performed. Many today are more likely to view the war as a fight for black freedom instead of for state’s rights, which is what it had previously been known for. The South still seems proud of the Confederate flag, even though it is the cause of a lot of controversy. Some people view it as part of their heritage. Certain topics of the Civil War are still well-known throughout society. Abraham Lincoln, the Gettysburg Address, and the Emancipation proclamation are all examples of what people associate with the Civil War. People try to remember iconic people and images like these, instead of the blood, gore, and hate that took place.…

    Personal Narrative: Country Living

    From what I recall, the day was heated, as were most days living on the top floor of a run down, income based apartment complex. Our second hand wall air conditioner sucked, and we were miserable. While annoyingly listening to the foreign toddlers run up and down the hallway in their diapers, I made the decision; it was time to move.…

    Personal Narrative: Where The Sidewalk Ends

    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…

    Personal Narrative: Hillbilly Definitions

    As a child, I grew up in a small town in West Virginia. Because of this, I was often surrounded by individuals who had the average “hillbilly” accent. Though I do not carry the West Virginian accent, I have picked up a few different pronunciations or words used to describe certain objects. I did not have this revelation until I moved to a larger city in Virginia. One night as I was walking through Walmart with my friends, I asked one of them to grab a buggy. It seemed as though the world had ended. Apparently, those wheeled contraptions that contain groceries at the store are referred to as “shopping carts” in other parts of the country. To this day, I continue to refer to these objects as buggies though I now know it is uncommon. This word…

    Personal Narrative: The Fight For Civil Rights

    It was August 28, 1963. Mom was yelling and holding up her “Martin Luther King, a liar, a troublemaker” sign. Next to her were my brother and my dad, they just mumbled and cursed. While everyone cheered and jumped for joy when Dr. King uttered the words, “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood”, it was like my whole family rolled their eyes simultaneously. All but me, I was the only one who thought that every man should have equal rights regardless of their race, beliefs, gender (etc…). I sided with the rest of the people at the Lincoln Memorial who believed in equal rights.…
