I Amethyster-Personal Narrative

426 Words2 Pages

I will never part with my bracelet. Given to me by my Grandmother, the silver metal bands laced together hold five amethyst stones that have retained their glamor and smooth texture for almost 68 years. Almost gladiator-like in appearance, this piece of jewelry is my favorite because it was my grandmothers and it reminds me of my past relatives. At age 13, around 1947, my grandmother and her brother and parents took a road trip on Route 66 in a 41 Cheverly to see the western states. Her father, Lamar Salter, had been stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas towards the end of World War Two. He wanted his family to experience the hot, dry, sandy region he had endured, explaining that while at Fort Bliss, he never went to sleep without sand

    I know all of you are chomping at the bit to hear Travels with Wanda stories, so I will share the adventures. October 1, two couples, ¾ retired loaded up a fine Subaru and headed to the Galena, Illinois area to commence the journey, affectionately described as “The Boot.” We got a little thirsty and our knees needed a stretch, so we stopped at Panera in Springfield, Illinois for coffee. Unfortunately, for us, a busload of cheerleaders or a team of girls arrived about 1 minute prior to us and formed a line about 30 strong. That necessitated our moving along to the Starbucks, where they must have been mighty proud of their mini-bagels, judging from the stated price.

    I thought that it was smart how we had to find our reading pace for each book. It is different from Elementary School and Middle School. I liked how you had us write reflections of the books, instead of just writing the page numbers. This helps me comprehend the book better because I have to go back and re-read parts of the book that I didn't get in order to finish the writing. I read many books this year, but my favorite was Ender's Game.

    Ever since I was young, I have always heard someone talking about Marquette. Part of this may be due to the fact that three of my neighbors have gone to Marquette and have absolutely loved it. Adding on to that, I have met even more people that have gone to Marquette that have really liked it and are usually successful in life. I met even more people at the Marquette open house that were from all over the United States and said they went to Marquette and they hope their child will attend Marquette as well. This made me realize that Marquette is truly local, since I know several people that have gone to Marquette that live by me and at the same time it is global, since I have met people around the United States, as well as other countries that

    Directly after robotics club and procrastination, my favorite pastime is reading. Starting in elementary school I would pick up a book that intrigued me and read it through without ever setting it down. My reading habits got worse(or better depending on how you look at it) once my parents bought me a Kindle and gave me the means to purchase a book whenever I wanted to. Ultimately, my kindle led to some problems at school because I stopped paying attention in class in order to read.
