Personal Narrative: Following The Hero's Journey

It was 10.30pm when all of us got together as one to start the jouney from the fort bus stand. We were excited when the bus started moving and couldn't wait to reach the destination. It was all misty on the way and all we knew is that we are going to have a great time. The bus driver didn't stop exactly where we wanted to get down.

Well today my friends and I was issued a challenge, by a mysterious challenger. No one at my table was going to take the challenge , but I spoke up at the last moment. It was me.. All the challenge was to cut off his head and if he survived, he could do the same to you. Of course it was random but I didn’t want to seem weak in front of my friends. I chopped his head off with a single swipe and I and his head fell off. I laughed a little bit after it.. but that all changed when he leaned over and picked his head back up after it being off his ..body. I was terrified because I know my fate was sealed at that moment. He said to meet me at the green chapel in a years time and one day. I set out for my adventure after saying my good byes. I just rode straight not knowing where to go

Going back to school has always been on my mind but never a priority. I allowed other life distractions to interfere. After what seems like years of trying to find my identity and motivation, I have finally decided to go back to school to better not only my life but my daughter’s as well. Being a single mother of one, I want my daughter to see that not only your skill set, but a college degree is a great way to start your career and meet the expectations you set for yourself. The expectations I have for myself are finishing my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management and eventually finishing with my MBA in Human Resources. I enjoy helping people reach their full potential and push beyond their limits. Seeing myself succeed and others, inspires

First off, I am humbled to be considered for membership of the National Honor Society. In my opinion on the foundation of the four pillars of NHS the FPC NHS chapter will benefit from my membership because I will bring intellect, drive, leadership, character, dedication to serve my community, honesty, respect, pride, discipline, compassion and among many other qualities a sense of humor.

I am Juan Carlos Gomez and I am a proud Mexican-Salvadorian. In the seventeen years that I have been alive, I have been living in a trailer. I live with only my mom as her job is working in a kitchen at South Lyon County Hospital. I am very hard worker as I try my best in everything I do. I make sure that I give my all all the time in order to go further in my life. In High School, I have taken a total of nine Honors and AP classes combined. I have taken English l Honors, English ll Honors, Horticulture Science, Plant Science Horticluture, Anatomy and Physiology Honors, AP Literature and Composition, Pre- Calculus Honors, AP English Language and Composition, and Calculus Honors. All these classes are achievements for me because I was able to

I woke up in a dark room with a massive headache that beat like a drum. I slowly got up and tried to remember what happened. I remember a huge storm that ravaged the west coast, then a space-ship came down and started to abduct people. “Oh no, I have been abducted!” I screamed to myself. As I said that the door opened, and light flooded into the dark room. My jaw dropped as I saw a huge poster behind me and it looked almost like animal cell. The man who opened the door said to me, “Come with me, now”.

I left. I’d rather dream. The property we desire, Alan and I, has a broad horizon inviting us over, a beautiful home that we plan to plant there. And at this very moment I’m suddenly impatient for having hopelessly ruined my best intentions for a brief holiday.

"God gave up on the Earth long ago," the priest proclaimed to Betzabeth as they sat next to each other in a pew.

Why? Why was I cursed to live this life of rage and pain? Why did our ancestor cause us to be cursed with generations of life-liquid thirsty pain and rage filled lives? Why does one man’s actions define a generation to follow? We weren’t even given a chance to be different from him. Our fate was sealed even before we were conceived. We were all destined to be the same as him. The only difference is that each one of us more rage filled than the last with a stronger craving for life-liquid and revenge. Some of us don 't even kill for the revenge the taste of battle-sweat is enough.

Dreams, dreams, dreams a concept that people still cannot understand yet encounter every time they close their eyes with their warm grasp of their cotton blanket and count Mary’s little lambs. Soon, they drift off to deep slumber like how a bear sleeps during hibernation and dream of various things. Some may dream of sweets and happiness, some may dream of gold and wealth, and some others have ‘special dreams’ and our hero is one of them. Our soon to be hero sleeps in her small yet comfortable bed with her dog by her side snoring softly. The hero dreams of a nightmare filled with clouds of smog and flames consuming a town whole and as the flames burned and burned, cries and prayers of the villagers could be heard from

Despite the fact that I was born in the U.S., my native language is Spanish, I was raised in Mexico, and spent half of my life studying in Tijuana. It wasn’t until the sixth grade that I decide to switch to an all English-speaking school in San Diego. I’ve since crossed the San Ysidro border every day, going the extra mile to wake up earlier, and to getting to home later. I in no way regret my decision to leave my friends, and my comfort zone, even if it might seem puzzling to many including my family. But this wasn’t always the case. It was struggle, especially when I first entered high school.

Departure is the portion of the book before the hero goes on their journey. This includes events such as, the call to adventure, answering the call and crossing the threshold. David and Ryder both receive a call to adventure because, without one they would not be able to go on their journey and prove they are a hero. "Just to be on the safe side, then, it might be best if the four of you and Petra were to make your arrangements to run for it at a moment 's notice, if it becomes necessary" (Wyndham 121), when the group decides it 's best if they run away into the Fringes before anyone finds out about their deviation is the call to adventure because, it sets his path for his journey.

The biggest takeaway I received from my NAR shadowing experience at Three Links was just how vital the staff who works with the residents truly are. If you would ask anyone if the staff at a medical facility is important, the answer would be yes. However, until you physically observe staff perform crucial tasks for their resident, one cannot truly comprehend the impact staff makes on residents. The staff at Three Links helps residents perform essential, everyday tasks such as feeding, bathing, and toileting. The staff not only provides personal care, but also acts as the resident’s family by forming strong relationships with residents. My experience shadowing at Three Links reminded me that caring for others is truly a challenge, but can be miraculously rewarding and essential to the well-being of others.

Being immortal was a gift to James, this gift meant he was able to put himself in the most dangerous situations which most people would die in. He could do what others wouldn’t dream of doing like base-jumping without a parachute or exploring the depths of the oceans. Cave exploring, mountain climbing were all things that James did regularly without fearing a thing. Today he was about to make the greatest mistake of his existence.

I have a few career goals such as becoming an ER registered nurse and a nurse practitioner but fist I want to be an ER registered nurse. For a long time now I could just envision myself in the blue scrub running out to the ambulance as the EMT rushed the patient into the hospital. And successfully collaborating with a team of people to save someone's life. I have always been the type of person that receives an immense amount of gratification from helping others. I believe this goal is realistic due to my preconception of the career, love for helping others and experience.
