Personal Narrative: Over Christmas Break

Over Christmas Break I went to Bloomington, Indiana. My dad, and my brother and I stayed for two days when we were originally going to stay for four days. In Bloomington we went to look at the differents University buildings and labs. I wish we would have stayed longer becuase we could have done more. We also went to see the apartment that my dad stayed in during college. My Dad, and my Brother, and I stayed in a Hotel that was used for students and visitors. In the Hotel, there was a bookstore, a starbucks, and a burger king. During the time we stayed in Bloomington, we watched the IU basketball game that was at Wisconsin. While we watched the game we ate in a restaurant called Nick's English Hut. We

But, the coolest thing that I believe we did was seeing Lincoln's tomb. As we rounded the bend and the anticipation was growing we finally saw the giant monument in his honor; it was magnificent.…

    Reframing my Mind for Break Going home for break is one of the most nerve wrecking things for me. I know I 'm going to be around the same people who cause me to slip up. I don 't really have a choice in the matter they 're my co workers, and I need to work when I am home. I will also be able to be around all of my really solid Christian friends who I know have my back.…

    Year Round Around Christmas everything was usually all rowdy in the airport. You saw a big bright tree, you’d hear bells ringing, kids singing, jolly music playing, and you’d even smell sweets. However, this year was different, you heard lockers slamming, footsteps of anxious businessmen, elevator doors closing, and no music. The tree in the lobby was dull with one single gold star, and yellow flickered lights that indicated they weren’t going to last.…

    Growing up with a ranching family means we rarely get time off from work or school to do fun or exciting things like ordinary families. When any opportunities come for us to go on small trips, we take them. With that, for the past ten years my dad has made vacation an annual occurrence. Vacation for us represents getting a “reward” for having a successful year of work and school year. Vacation is also a time where my entire family and I can wind down and relax for a week without having to worry if the cows had gotten out or if we had remembered to turn off the pivots to water the crops.…

As I progress down my quest, I realize that the easiest actions in the world are sometimes the most difficult. Despite the difficulties of overcoming any mental strain, I strongly urge everyone to understand that the possibilities of a person achieving a healthy, stress-free lifestyle still exist.…
