  • Personal Narrative Essay: Eleven By Lauren Myracle

    846 Words  | 2 Pages

    I had just turned eleven and received a book, Eleven by Lauren Myracle, from my mother as a birthday gift. As I opened the page and read the first line I immediately had an overwhelmingly bubbly feeling. The sheer coincidences made me feel like that book was written with me in mind. I read on and on non stop for the rest of the day because how could I turn away from a book that was hypothetically written about me. It expressed my pre-teen drama, things only an eleven-year-old would consider drama and it inspired me. It gave me the sudden urge to pour my heart into the little mini books I was known for writing and leaving around the house. Writing was something that I was very passionate as a little girl and is still something I am very passionate about as a young adult. The little things I did in my childhood

  • Success in The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

    803 Words  | 2 Pages

    Encouragement plays a significant role in my success. Without encouragement, the achievement won't come true. Juliet Ferking, the author of "A Drive to Achieve the Extraordinary" from This I Believe: Life Lessons, tells her story about how she succeeds at things that normal people don't. No matter what people say, she achieved big things in her life. Her only encouragement are those who actually supported her (Ferking). My connection to Ferking's essay is that without the encouragement that my family and friends are giving me, I wouldn't have the motivation to pursue my degree to have a good career. Even if other people ridicule my choice of degree, I won't succumb to their words.

  • Personal Narrative: Kaitlyn Krystal Ransom

    912 Words  | 2 Pages

    The name on my birth certificate reads Kaitlyn Krystal Ransom, but when I was born it read Kaitlyn Samantha Burns, and now most people just call me Kai. When you look at me, I am a five foot, four inch ball of fluffy grandpa sweaters and shy smiles. I don't look like the type of person to be considered "mentally ill", except maybe if I had what I like to call the "cute" disorders. "Cute" disorders, for me, are categorized by disorders that people pity or romanticize. Anything that can be "treated" temporarily with soft animals and smiling at strangers and doing anything possible to make oneself feel better is a "cute" disorder. My disorder, though, is far less adorable.

  • Personal Narrative: An Outsider In My Family

    842 Words  | 2 Pages

    I never would have imagined feeling like an outsider in my own home. Unfortunately I wouldn’t even go as far as considering my current home as “my home.” I live in a house with eight people and two dogs and for some, that might not even be slightly overwhelming, but for me it is. I try to keep my heart open about the situation, but I always end up feeling like I don’t belong. Given the circumstances of my situation, I would say life definitely turned out better than what I initially expected, but I was left feeling like a “stranger in a village” having to live with a family that is nothing like my own.

  • Personal Narrative: My Art Career

    2188 Words  | 5 Pages

    Many artists say that they were born to do art, that it was always in their blood and that they cannot remember a time that art was not a part of their lives. For me, this was exactly the opposite. I was always trying to do my best in science and mathematics and art was not even on my radar until I was a freshman in high school where I met my first inspiration for art, Zack Smithey. I was lucky enough to have Mr. Smithey as a guide for the start of my art career all four years in high school and he really pushed me to develop my portrait work. He helped me develop the foundation of my artwork, but at that point I was merely duplicating what I was seen and really had not developed an aesthetic of my own. For me, art was a challenge for me to
