The birds in the air, the flowers blooming to the sky, and the laughter resonating throughout the venue. I have seen family, coming and going, well wishes filling the air and all I can seem to bring my mind to now is that one walk down the aisle. My mind full of needs and worries slowly escaping the realms of my thoughts and focusing now on that walk to a lifelong marriage. The smell of sweet lavander candles fills the room as I prepare to walk down the aisle. Getting prepared to show myself to my awaiting husband. We begin to get in …show more content…

  • Personal Narrative: My Home State, Texas

    219 Words  | 1 Pages

    My home state is Texas, and a problem Texas faces is an overall mindset of systemic racism, sexism, and xenophobia. Texas is a very conservative state, thus many of the policies passed by our legislation are written at the expense of women and minorities. Although I might sound highly critical of our state government, I do not believe that these negative mindsets are deliberate attempts to put others down, I feel that it is simply an ignorance to the issues women and minorities face, and a lack of empathy. Ignorance is easily countered by thorough education. The easiest way to solve this is for us constituents of these politicians, to bring the issues that affect us to the forefront.
