Personal Narrative: Do Not Touch
One time I was at the mall and I saw this guy who was dressed in dark jeans and a graphic t-shirt. He had crazy hair and piercings. He was with a group of friends that looked just like him. I judged him and thought he was probably a trouble maker. He then walked over to the piano that sits in the middle of the walkway in the mall, it has a big “Do not Touch” sign on it. I was just wondering what kind of prank he would pull or when mall security was going to show up. Then he lifted up the lid and scooted the bench up to the piano. Then he started playing; he was playing the most beautiful song I had ever heard. It gave me chills. The whole way home all I could do was think about him and how sorry I had been to judge him.

I got scared and started to panic and run around like an idiot, A lot of the staff asked me if I needed help, but I just ignored them and ran right past them I must have ran around the store a least twice. While I was crying and running, I spotted a women wearing the same colors and similar clothes as my mom and started running after her, Once I came closer to the lady I realized it was not my mom but some stranger I looked around some more then I heard my name begin called in the background of all the chatter in the mall I turned around, it was my mom she started calling my name, I look at her an started waving my hands in the air.

    It was during the Kibeho massacre in Rwanda. When a lot of people are being killed, and people know that they're going to die, they do things which take away their dignity. For example, they dig a hole and cover themselves with dirt and try to hide. The morning before I found the preacher I went to the latrines - they're just big holes in the ground with wood over them. I looked in one of these holes and there was a women looking up at me. She'd escaped the massacre by hiding down in this pit. She had a baby on her back and three children around her.

    I just moved to a kid infested neighborhood. I was 18 so I had no interest in going outside and playing with the 12-14 year old kids. I thought it would be okay moving there, but they're so annoying, doing there kid stuff and writing skate boards which I've done myself and probably annoyed many people so I didn't tell them anything. Anyway my mom lives with me because step dad recently died. This house had been so weird, I don't know if it's me or like I said, the house. There's always weird noises and the weirdest part is that there is this rug that always appears in different places when I get home. My mom doesn't say anything about it because she has bad memory loss and always loses things. Someone needed to do something about this house or rug because i'm starting to get scared and lose it.…

    This was the scare of my life . I was cruising dirt roads in my jeep with a couple of friends, and we weren’t making very good choices that day . we were all drinking beer even though we were only 16, and I decided to try and show off for my friends and drift around a corner . Well needless to say that did not turn out very well at all. We made it around the corner and then i saw a truck coming our direction. So i tried to straighten it out before I should have and we slid out of control and hit the ditch while sliding sideways and hit a fence which caused us to start to tip over but somehow i turned the wheels just right and saved it . After we were back on all four tires we slid across the road and just barely missed the truck…

    They thought it was funny, we actually became friends. The third guy just asked me why I loved him and I responded “because you're a beautiful human being”, he laughed and said nice to meet you. We also became friends. The girl that asked me why I told her I loved her said to me “before you say anything I’m not lesbian” I was really amused because I wasn’t flirting with her for her to think I actually liked her and loved her. I was the one feeling more awkward I have to admit. I told her it was a social experiment I was doing for my sociology class and apologized, she said “oh okay cool” and walked away. That was one of the most awkward situations I was put in throughout the experiment. When I broke the social norm with my professors it was…

At the age of eleven, and on my way to a ballet recital a woman who was careless pulled under an awning in a non-parking zone in front of The Girls Club. I was running to catch up with my group. I looked left and right and proceeded to walk under the awing to the parking lot across from the building. From the corner of my eye’s I saw a white car pull up in front of me very fast. The momentum of the car pulling up that close almost made me roller over the hood. I put both my hands on the car, and pushed my self away.

    One horrible day, about 3 or 4 years ago. I woke up and all of the feeling in my legs were gone. I tried to get out of bed but my bed is a top bunk with a desk underneath it so It was hard to get out of bed. I tried to use my legs but they were lifeless. They wouldn't move so it was all upper body strength getting down from my bed. Finally, I got down from my bed tried to walk but I couldn’t. So all I could do is yell, so I started screaming “Dad! Dad!” Then I blacked out. I woke up a while later in the car, when I asked my dad where we were going he said the doctors. I looked at the time on my phone, It was 9:30!! At this time I was living in Florida. My school started at…

    When I first entered high school, I did not want to play any sports. Though, my friend, Brenda, talked me into trying out for the basketball team.

By the time I was a senior, I was the varsity team’s starting shooting guard, and I had already broken many school records.

I visited many schools, and finally decided to play at Michigan State. Due to NCAA rules, I was not allowed…

    I walked on a thin layer of ice in high school; every time someone judged me, I could hear the ice slowly cracking under my feet. My life was in a fragile and brittle state during my junior year. I didn’t have the support of my parents, nor of my closest friends at this stage of my life. My own parents, teachers, and classmates had lost faith in me; to them it seemed as if I had ruined my life and that I would no longer succeed.
