I remember the time that her mother spoke the terrible words that still send chills down my back. “ Riley, Sheryce has passed away” I dropped to the ground. My lungs burning as I tried to gasp for air. I managed to get out a tiny shriek which sent my dad into a sprint trying to figure out what happen to me. I could hear her mother crying on the phone before she hung up. I couldn't repeat what poison I heard. What made everything worse, I couldn't stop thinking about how I was suppose to be in the car with her, I was suppose to go with her. I could went with her in that car and maybe then she wouldn't have died.

    Personal Narrative: South Dakota

    With the windows down, the crisp, cool summer air permeated throughout my body, acquiring every hair to stand at attention. Buffalo surrounded and granged lazily through the corn fields that shot high to the sky, as if every row was assembled soldiers getting ready to march. South Dakota is known for open fields with a consumed, laid back lifestyle with not much ever going on. Going into the trip knowing this, I was not in the least bit excited. It was when I absorbed the laid back atmosphere and appreciated every single bit of their way of life.…

    Personal Narrative: Growing Up At Powder Springs

    As teenagers growing up in Powder Springs, Georgia during the 1980’s, it was somewhat challenging at times to find safe and entertaining ways to occupy our time. Even though we did not have free reign to do as we chose, I would not categorize my parents as extremely strict. Relying on our parents, as if they were our personal taxi service, my sister and I struggled to find activities relatively close to home. After discovering we really enjoyed skating, we spent countless Friday and Saturday nights at the Sparkles Skating Rink in Paulding County. The indoor facility was a safe environment for teenagers, which provided my parents with a certain level of comfort to allow us to gather with friends.…

    Personal Narrative Essay: Growing Up In Texas

    As a young armadillo growing up in Texas during the 1820s, my life was peaceful and happy. The Federalists who held power in Mexico left me, my fellow armadillos, and the Anglo Americans alone to enjoy and work the land. However, in 1829, the Centralists gained control of the Mexican government and the freedom we enjoyed gradually eroded. As the Mexican government imposed more regulations on the Anglo Americans, the tension which had existed between the two groups due to the Nacogdoches land grant, become even more palpable.…

    Personal Narrative: Brownsville, Texas

    Brownsville, Texas is the town that I was raised in and can still call home. It was rich with Mexican culture and delectable, greasy tacos but it was still an economically disadvantaged city meaning that there were never enough resources to guide students to better opportunities. Of course, I never knew I was deprived of such an apparent luxury until I came to The University of Texas at Austin. When this realization came, I became frantic because of how behind I felt. I began looking for all sorts of resources and opportunities the university had to offer.…

    Personal Narrative: Moving To Texas

    When I was 16 I moved to from California to Texas. During this time, I assume everyone in Texas wears a cowboy hat, boots, talks in a southern accent such as saying y’all and other such stereotypes. I assume the general understanding of Texas from what I was taught as a kid in movies, music, and shows. Once I moved to Texas that that type of thought was used against me, my classmates assume I probably l go to the beach and surf and have met plenty of celebrities when I lived in California. This is an example of REPRESENTATIVENESS HEURISTIC to judge or presume a someone or something relying on past experiences and mental representations to a new situation creating a particular group.…

    A Journey Through Texas Summary

    Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, author of the biographical narrative “A Journey Through Texas” written around the 1550s suggests that it is in the interest of the Spainish to continue to support exploration of the New World. He does this by showing the vast beauty of the New World and then dispelling the myths about Native's cruelty and brutality and by highlighting their fragility. Vaca seeks to dispel rumors that there may be nothing to gain in the New World and to alleviate fears the Natives will interfere with any exploration in order to secure continued funding for his goals. He writes primarily to those in Spain who would have the money and time to invest in the exploration of a country they have never seen.…
