Personal Narrative: My Loss Of Honor
I stood in trauma room number one with my FFA official uniform on with my heartbroken mother by my side. When I got up that spring morning, I was shaken with nerves because I didn’t feel prepared enough to say a speech at my FFA contest that my chapter was leaving for that morning. That turned out to be the least of my worries that day. I had only been at school for fifteen minutes when I received a call from my mother that my Mamaw BJ, her mother, had passed away. We rushed to the hospital. I stood at the corner of the room so I wasn’t forced to look at the cold, still body that I was used to running up to and squeezing with love whenever I saw it. We stood there for hours and hours and hours it seemed. Her death is one of the most prominent

As a little girl, I do not know how our finances worked all I knew was many bills were due and I knew it because when I was a little girl I liked to practice reading and those bill statements were the papers that attracted my interest due to its colorful paper.…

    With ever story of victory, comes a drowning idea of failure. Throughout our live, these battles are fought, taking not only mental strength, but physical as well.

    Friends and family stood and said a few words, my brother being one of them, before one girl stood up in front of the crowd and proceeded to bawl in front of the crowd, talking in circles and uncertain sentences. After nearly ten minutes passed of her crooked speech, I grabbed a tissue box and ran up to her, patted her on the back, and shuffled her to the side. I turned to the filled pews and looked out at the friends and family who helped build my mom’s…

I said “you ready for tonight”. “Heck yeah” replied Mike.…

    It was October third a thursday night after our freshman football game. Lying in bed, not able to sleep, I hear the doorbell ring and parents going down stairs. Peaking my head around the corner to see who it could be at 11:03 pm. Just to see two state troopers standing in the doorway. My mind and heart automatically beginning to race, and my heart instantly dropping. To hear “I'm sorry to say but your son has been killed in a car accident in Ames Iowa”. A devastating night I will remember forever. With emotions being spilled and tears being shed it’s hard to stay strong for each other in that specific moment, but I know that I have to be there…

    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.…

    For about as long as I could remember, my wish has always been to fit in, and be well-liked by everyone. I began acting a certain way that wasn’t me, and even began to lose my identity. I followed all trends and began to lose more and more of my identity as time chipped away. This all stopped as soon as high school began. High school was such a disquieting transition along with all of the new changes I’d be facing. New classmates, teachers, subjects, and responsibilities. I was now required to think twice before every move and concentrate on everything more adequately. All these changes made me begin to realize that I should learn more about my identity and do what makes me tranquil and content as a person.…

    On the morning of June 16, I went to a memorial for the 49 victims who died in the Orlando shooting on June 13, 2016. I remember thinking that I could pull myself together, and that I should go and look at all the things people did for those victims. I remember thinking that I would be able to pull myself together for the twenty to thirty minutes it would take to walk around and allow my sister and mother to lay down their notes. I remember thinking that I would be fine, wouldn't let tears slip, even when I couldn't write a note because I knew if it were addressed to those who lost anything that early morning, I wouldn't last half a sentence before tears overthrew my thoughts. I remember telling my mother I could handle it. I remember thinking…

    I headed to my first class which just so happened to be my favorite subject, English. The hallways were very wide but when filled with students I felt like I had to shove my way through just to get to my locker. The lockers were a mixture between Gray and purple. The school colors were supposed to be purple and silver but there was no way that these lockers could be considered. I took a look at the little piece of paper that the lady in the office had given me and tried out the combination on my locker. It took me about five minutes to open it and after struggling for that long I was a little irritated so when it did open, it flew open and slammed into the locker next to mine. I held my breath and hoped that nobody had noticed. I took a long deep breath and slowly opened my eyes again. Luckily I was still standing alone and nobody around was looking at me. I put my extra books and notebooks into the locker and and closed it as quietly as I could.…
