Personal Narrative: My First AA Meeting

They knew it was self defense but they didn't want to take that risk. So, they went to Dally and they got some money or food, a gun, and a jacket for Ponyboy. They went to Dally because they knew if they wanted to get out of town and away from prying cops, they knew Dally would be the person to make it happen. While they were in the church Dally had sent them to a week prior, Jonny fell asleep with a cigarette still lit without Jonny realizing it. Later that day, Dally showed up and took them to lunch for some real food.

‘Hey rookie, we made it a cakewalk.’ Or asked things like ‘Hey, where you from – Detroit?’ When I saw men with one leg or blood seeping through their chest bandages, it took all the romantic notions that John Wayne’s movies put in your head. After we ate, mom and I drank coffee. I reflected on the mass. It had been a couple of years since I last attended church. I had forgotten how nice the women looked when they weren’t conscious they

In the middle of second grade my family had moved to Maui and I attended Sacred heart, a private Catholic school that was located right below a mountain. Hawaii’s education system definitely was not the top in the country and my mother thought that it would be best if my brother and I went to a private school to get a better education. As I was sitting at my desk in my third grade classroom I opened up the storybook in front of me and I began to read the short story. I can’t tell you what the story was even about, but what I do remember was as I was reading something came across my mind and I couldn’t figure out the answer. I thought to myself, why was it that I could read a big word like “vegetable” but if I were asked to, I couldn’t spell it.

After that cup of coffee in that shop, I never checked the bottom of their mug. Also, I forgot to check that company out on the internet. However, all of sudden that name just came up because of the bad quality of coffee at Cambodia. Because of the curiosity, I put that company name on the Memo and keep explored Cambodia. After couple days after I came back from the trip, I succeed to remember it and google it.

Walking around on the hot day trying to see every exhibit. I remember the day I got my ears pierced. I remember going to the fair and the ride works telling me I wasn't tall enough I remember going to the Mall of America for the first time and it was so much fun seeing how big the mall really was I remember playing computer games after school I remember riding in the front seat of my Dads old red truck. The sun warming my skin and the wind blowing through the window you had to roll down yourself. I remember trying to paint my nails for school and they looked so bad I remember drinking strawberry pop, which is hard to find nowadays I remember when I got my first camera.

An example is in Dear Future the author writes, “But it doesn’t seem particularly bright right now, in this cold, musty church basement.” (Montemarano 27). The depressing and bland setting sets the mood for the story. It represents how James feels internally about his life in that period. On the other hand, in Girl Can’t Dance the text said, “I stopped eating lunch with Aubree and started sitting with Serena Malik and the popular group. A couple of weeks earlier, they had made fun of me.” (Yee 18).

Y’see, he buy a pig of my wife four or five year ago… and claims that from that day to this he cannot keep a pig alive for more than four weeks because my Martha bewitch them with her books. (72) Corey emphasizes that Ezekiel Cheever and the court did wrong by arresting Martha Corey. Corey speaks out that he never saw his wife practicing witchcraft, but only reading books. Corey points out that his wife is not a witch and that Walcott has falsely accused Martha Corey of witchcraft. Because Cheever arrested Martha Corey for reading books, it is clear that her right of reading books is in threat and that she has faced injustice.

I had ordered 2 chalupas with extra meat and sour cream. As I was approaching the window the question was ask are you married I respond and said no all because he saw a ring on my finger and he ask me was that for you to throw me off and I said no the song had come on I turn my radio up I was playing a gossip song and he said I 'm not afraid of gossip song.Then he asks what church I go to at that time I didn 't have a church home. then he said that he would go church with me and I said ok one thing that blows my mind when he told me that you would not know your husband if he was standing in front of me. so we exchange number. I call him to see have he got off from work yet.

I said to myself, “I was wrong about the USA people.” After all, I got home and rest for two days. I was very afraid to go out not because I don’t like to go out. I do like to go out but I was afraid that people will … at me because I did not know how to speak English. Then I stated my high school in 2009. On the first day I was so scared to go to school.

I knew it a definite potential of calming me down, although I was quite mistaken. Every five minutes I was looking down at my phone, anticipating to see a message from my dad. After twenty minutes of constant anxiety filling the room, Joy jumped out of her seat and decided to take us all on a shopping trip. Shopping is one of my favorite hobbies, so I was first to accept this much needed trip of enjoyment. I knew I could never make it through the day sitting at home staring at a blank screen.

Mr. Chilton, I am really horrible at writing these types of things, going on about myself and whatnot. Have me write you a story, that I can do; this whole trying to talk myself up thing, not so much. So, let me start this by telling you a story: A few months ago I got upgrade to full-time at the Aria as a Pit Clerk and was moved to swing shift. This being what was supposed to be a quick temporary job as started looking for work again as a Game Designer. On my first day of swing shift I’m walking over to Starbucks before work with two other Pit Clerks.

Timmy was very confused, he thought he heard Grandma say the they the bakery wasn’t going to be open since it was Thanksgiving. He walked out of the guest room and went the apartments kitchen and they weren’t there. Although Timmy had never slept over at his grandparents before he had been there before and knew how to get around. He went down to the bakery and heard 3 voices. 2 of them he had never heard before.

The next day they still don 't plan on going to Birmingham, they will stay at a rest stop in Knoxville, and then they will drive to Birmingham the following day. During the way there, Wilona is calculating everything from when they eat too every time they stop for a restroom break. he writes it all down in a notebook and titles it “The Watsons Go To Birmingham-1963” Also on the way there, they listen to records and dad turns on the Ultra Glide. Once they finally arrive in Birmingham, Alabama, they start saying how hot it is because they are not use to the hot, they 're more familiar with the cold weather. And also Byron shocks everyone when they arrive, he 's super nice to everyone and does

18 year olds are allowed to vote, this is something that directly impacts the future of the United States and everyone in it, but they are not allowed to drink alcoholic beverages. An 18 year old can enlist in the military, but he/she is not allowed to drink alcohol? This is a country you can die for before you are allowed to drink alcohol in it. In conclusion, if the legal age of adulthood is 18, then the legal drinking age should be 18, period. In conclusion, lowering the MLDA will promote and teach more responsible drinking, the three year learning period will cut down on underage drinking, and it makes the most sense because the legal age of adulthood is 18.

Starting on the first day I arrived at the kennedy international airport in new york and I had no one to pick me up. I was sleeping in a pentecostal church for two months before I found an old school mate who housed and helped me get my papers. People in the U.S. were not very friendly as I thought. The foods were different and tasted different, everything was like 500 time more expensive, the weather was horrible especially winter. Several times during those initial years, I wanted to return home to Cameroon even though my family supported me from home financially and morally.
