Paige Marquis: A Short Story

1909 Words8 Pages

Hi, I am Paige Marquis and this is my story from beginning to end. It all began in a hospital named Baton Rouge General on Bluebonnet in East Baton Rouge, Louisiana when a woman named Jennifer Welch gave birth to the most beautifulest angel in the world (aka me). As I was growing up I lived all over Louisiana, my birthplace. I switched from living with my mom, to my dad, to with my grandma and other family that was living with her, and then to my grandpa, with all of that moving around practically every year that also meant a new schools every year. I was moving around so much, I practically shut myself off and stopped trying to make new friends.
Eventually my dad got married to a woman named Melissa, and she had a son. It was just me, …show more content…

Our mom came and got her, and took her back to Louisiana with her. I stayed and on the last day one of my dad’s best friends Mike (Big Bird) came and took me all the way to Alton, Illinois. It was so boring, and it took a long time. We only stopped for some food, gas, and of course bathroom breaks. On the way he got a flat tire, so we had to stop at one of those Walmarts that had the mechanics part attached to it. The guy wasn’t going to do it until Mike explained to him that I’m not his kid, and Mike also traded his golf set for this guy to fix his tire. Eventually, we were back on the road headed to my very missed …show more content…

Even though we didn’t have a lot of time that night we all played Just Dance, I was neglectant at first. I eventually gave in, I’ll admit it was fun. When it was time to go to bed there was a little dilemma. Since it was just Tabatha and her 2 kids they lived in an apartment, with 2 bedrooms. Her kids shared a room, and they had a bunk bed , so that’s pretty much how the problem started.

  • Yvonne Allen's Narrative

    237 Words  | 1 Pages

    Yvonne Allen does not have any right to wear her headscarf in her licence photo due to the security issues it would create. She believes that her rights are being infringed upon, but doesn't realize that a licence is a privilege not a right. It is hard to argue this fact when it says literally nowhere in any law or precedent that any U.S. citizen has any right to a licence. Allen only uses two defenses one of which is how her faith is tested “in a way that was humiliating and demeaning”(8), a judge will never consider this as a good defense on why she should get her licence, because it is based on emotions not law. Her other defense was how Muslim women were allowed to wear their own headscarves in their driver's license photos, but this seems

    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.
