Personal Narrative Analysis

The morning of August 4, 2016, Juliann woke up excited and nervous. She put on the perfect outfit she picked out the night before. Juliann did her make-up and hair, as butterflies danced in her stomach. She practically ran to the bus stop and impatiently waited for her bus. As the bus rounded the corner, she realized tears filled her eye. Overwhelmed with fear and excitement Juliann boarded the bus to begin her first day as a freshman. During the first three weeks of Juliann's freshman year, she made new friends, learned new procedures, and worked to learn how to use a chromebook.
As Juliann stepped off the bus(,) she was overwhelmed by all the students coming from every direction. She looked at the multiple brick buildings and

wondered how in the world would she find her home room. Worried that she would be late, Juliann hurried into the building that she will be spending most of her next year. Juliann walked into one building, turned right, but she should have turned left. Luckily, Juliann saw a teacher and quickly asked, “ Do you know where Room 103 is located ?” She politely responded, “ Yes sweetie, you go back down this hall and turn right, then left, and you will see room 103.(") “

Two weeks into Juliann’s freshman year she was familiar with all her teachers and settling in.

All of her teachers are hardworking, compassionate, and dependable. They care about their students and their students future. For an example, Juliann was having a little trouble in Algebra. (S)he went to Mr.Hill, her algebra teacher, and asked, “ How can I improve my grades?” He answered, “ Juliann, you are welcome to come to tutoring in the morning.” Having teachers that are caring is important to her. She wants to do her best because I do not want to let them down.
So far, her freshman year has been as exciting and fun as she expected it to be. There are a few things that Juliann does not like. One is, she noticed was drama is a lot worse this year. It seems everyone is talking about each other. The other example of what Juliann dislikes is being embarassed. The other day Juliann accidentally walked into the wrong room during the middle of class. Juliann did not realize she was even in the wrong room until the teacher asked, “ Are you sure you are in my class because you aren’t on my roster?” Juliann was mortified, but she realized mistakes happen. I am sure she will not let that happen again. Just call it, her lesson

learned.
Overall, my experience as a freshman has been exciting, memorable, and at times challenging. However, I’m confident that with my teachers support and my hard work I will be just fine. Juliann will continue to take advantage of tutoring and make sure she complete all my work. I’ve decided not to entertain drama and embrace my lessons learned. My MawMaw always said to me, “Nothing worth having comes easy.” Juliann will do everything in my power to succeed and continue having the best year as a freshman.
