Personal Narrative: Bring Your Own Technology On Education

300 Words2 Pages

Eleanor Roosevelt claimed, “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” I learned this lesson fairly early on when one day in my eighth grade year I was called to the principal’s office and informed that I was chosen to give an informative tour of the school to the entire Fayette County school board. I was told that everyone from the county office was coming the following week to hear about how the new technology was being utilized in the classroom. I was terrified and had nightmares for a week. Booth was chosen as the pilot school for Bring Your Own Technology and I couldn’t understand why they would choose someone so young

  • Personal Narrative: Wyandotte County

    195 Words  | 1 Pages

    Hearing the sirens of the ambulance and from police cars growing up made me think about how I will continue to be afraid of an ambulance and police car sirens because Wyandotte County has a high crime rate and sometimes I thought about not evening stepping out of my house. Right at the moment that I step outside my house, I wouldn't know if I would come back. No ones life is guaranteed so throughout my high school years I was very strict on myself in regards to hanging out with people and with which people I can rely upon. From school, I went directly to my house because I thought it wouldn't be safe for me to be out especially in a Wyandotte County. I always had to have that in the back of my head because of the area I live in.

    From the beginning of written time to modern society today, humans had countlessly evolved and grew stronger as they conquer and face their fear. One fearful self would start off as a scared and petrified being with a particular fear, but as he/she expose him/herself to that fear, the fear would gradually die away like a leaf withering in the harsh winter. Likewise, Eleanor Roosevelt had once stated, “We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face.” True enough, her quote was proven through countless stories and experiences, which includes “Stepping It Up”, “Ricki-tick-tavi”, and my very own personal experiences. So with evidence from other stories and events, Eleanor’s quote,

    Baldwin writes, “To defend oneself against a fear is simply to insure that one will, one day, be conquered by it; fears must be faced” (Baldwin 27). In making this statement, he is urging people that suppressing your fears will cause them to regulate your life. In order to gain control, Baldwin suggests facing your fears; denial will only prevent you from fully living. This relates back to the woman who is afraid of elevators. Both authors conclude the idea of confrontation as an alternative to suppression.

  • Personal Narrative: My Personal Artifact

    375 Words  | 2 Pages

    My personal Artifact is a baseball my son and I caught at the Giants game. It is white, round, has red stitches, and is smooth when new, but when we caught it it was beat up and the blue writing on it was smeared. A baseball is small and light in size. It can be thrown at speeds up to 100 MPH, or hit at at speeds higher than 100MPH, so when playing the game or watching you should be paying attention at all times. A baseball is made of a rubber or cork center, wrapped in yarn very tight, covered by white leather with red stitching around the out side, making it a very hard ball.

I made myself a safe space under my bed with a light and pillows.

  • Definition Essay About Fear

    759 Words  | 4 Pages

    When my sister and I would have separate rooms, I decided to appeal to the logical part of my brain about my fear of the dark, telling myself that total darkness allows one to fall into the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage faster. Armed with this knowledge, I slept for the first time without light and woke up with no nightmares and feeling well-rested. By overcoming that fear, it changed the way I looked at what fear really was. In conclusion, fear is moments that are considered to be dangerous from an emotional standpoint but is actually the key to feeling a sense of pride and courage when one overcomes these obstacles. What I had regarded as a useless function of emotions just meant to keep people from their potential, I discovered that it was the opposite; fear is meant to allow people to recognize their limits, and have them motivated to push past them, to reach your true potential in
