Personal Narrative: Back To School

After a pause of almost 25 years, I am returning to the college classroom and to say that there are mixed emotions would be an understatement. Sure, I’m excited to start but also a bit fearful if I’m being honest. I’ve worked for large and international companies during this time but getting back to college has always been a goal of mine. No time like the present I guess!

“An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” opens with an objective description of the situation, “A man stood upon a railroad bridge in northern Alabama, looking down into the swift water

I was having so much fun with the cold wind on my cheeks and was laughing the whole way down until I got some snow in my eyes that limited my vision. I began to panic which kept me from hearing my mom saying, “ JUMP!!! JUMP!!! ” I was clueless to the fact that I was headed for a tree. Down the hill I went and straight into the tree.

Returning to college has been an exciting and terrifying decision for me. My husband has

Once, I was a little snowflake on top of a mountain. Life was good on Aspen Mountain with the exception of being trampled by skiers. Until one day when a skier wipes out on top of me. As he was falling, Me and my brothers were swept into the man's jacket. Most of my brothers tumbled out as the man stumbled for his Ski poles but I was stuck.

Something such as returning back to school was long gone and in my past goals. After a couple of years I never thought I would end up going back to school since everything that I wanted was going good and according to plan. However sometimes we are faced with tough situations where we must find other resources in order to improve and better ourselves. Going back to school was one of the most important and wise decisions that I have ever made.

We knew that the last mile way far steeper, but we also knew that there were no stairs and water flowed down hill, our hope was that if anything we could tell a cool story. Once we lost the protection of the trees the water had turned to ice making small frozen streams that wanted to send us hurtling back down, it was like a game of shoots and ladders but without dice or a slide. Once we knew that we were almost at the top the four of us wanted to get a quick snack and then attempt to ride the rest of the way up because most of the ice was now behind us. That's when it happened, John rode across an icy section and his bike slid out from under him and he broke his fall with his hand but that was a mistake. He immediately had some choice words and could not move it without shooting pain.

Everyone including his parents, Mr. And Mrs. Atkinson and his older brothers, James and Jackson, who had jumped the cliff years ago, excitedly waited for the third of June when the youngest member of the Atkinson family would fulfill the tradition. However, what they didn’t know was that Daniel had a fear of heights that he had hidden from everyone his whole life. He thought he could just keep it a secret and-and no one would ever find out. But it wasn’t easy to hide a fear of eighths when a whole town stood behind you, waiting for you to jump off a cliff 98 feet above ground

There was a mini river flowing down the hill. I wondered, should I try to go around it or just go through the middle. I decided to try to go around it. We got out to the snowmobile trail and there was only about five minutes left. We finally got there.

Over the night, it had snowed about one and a half feet. In the morning, we woke up eager to get out on the fresh snow and ski. We hurried to the mountain with our skis and took the lift to the top of the mountain. As we started skiing, we approached a section of the mountain where we could only

The theme of an occurrence at owl creek bridge is that every person will have different reaction to death and how they handle the fear

The ice cold snow melts onto my face, I laugh at myself and hope to god the people around me didn’t see that. No one was paying attention to me they all had this type of confidence and excitement to learn and grow. I stood back up and headed down the hill with all force, not knowing how to turn I abruptly put my snowboard on healedge and slammed to a stop. Little did I know I was already halfway down the hill.

It served as a war hospital during both the Revolutionary and the Civil War where the wounded were tended and those who passed were buried. Many famous people, including George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, George Wythe, Patrick Henry, and President George Washington were buried in its magnificent courtyard. In fact, several 17th century graves still lie intact so far down in the ground under the churchyard, that a rule was made later stating that graves can be no more than 4.5 feet into the ground. Though it had recognizable value in this time period, the Bruton Parish is still implausibly relevant

Coming back from summer vacation is difficult, but coming back and having to start in a totally new environment makes it even harder. I remember coming back and being confuzed. Not just academically, but also socially. I would wonder how I would fit in with my new peers, and if I would start falling behind in my classes. Lucky for you, I have some advice for you, so you can do your absolute best in Jr. High, whether it’s academically, socially, or anything about personal responsibility, I’ve got you covered.

I check my watch as I race to catch my first ever Austin Metro bus home. My
