Personal Narrative: My Individual Community Project

315 Words2 Pages

For my individual community project, I volunteered at the MUST Ministries Donation Center located on Chastain Road in Kennesaw for ten hours. I did the first five hours on Saturday, October 24th and the other five hours on the next Saturday of the same month. Prior to arriving at the donation center, I received a PIN number to log in and out of the computer to identify when I started and ended my volunteer shift. On both days, I had the same experience and work to do. I had to wear gloves and go through the racks of clothes and make sure the articles of clothing were in the right section where they are suppose to belong. If any particular section was empty or nearly deplete of a particular type of clothing, I would go the enormous containers

  • Personal Narrative: Intercity Salvation Army Core

    390 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the summer of 2013 at a family barbeque I nonchalantly asked my aunt if there was any way I could volunteer at her job, an intercity Salvation Army Core, throughout the week. Asking this simple question that I initially didn’t put much consideration into, steered to far more than I could had ever anticipate. I projected what my experience would be like at the core playing out different scenarios in my head. I expected it to be similar to every other volunteer experience I had, simply assist the employees and perchance meet a few people along the way. I thought I would be working in a back pantry categorizing and bundling foods into care packages having minimal encounters.

  • Personal Narrative: My Community Flaws

    Shaped by the Flaws of My Community Have you ever just been going about your day and find yourself in a specific place that at an earlier time in your life was so much more relevant than it is presently. A place that you just cannot help passing without having a sudden feeling of nostalgia, a memory from an earlier time in your life. This tends to happen to me on a frequent basis. I think the reason for this is that I have lived in the same community of Perry Hall and only moved once in my life. I still reside only a few miles from the hospital where I made my entrance in this world 18 years ago.

    As I laid in bed, searching across one of my favorite websites, creepypasta, for a decent scary story to read; I stopped short. " The Other You" was the title of the extremely short story that I now wish I had never opened. The story instructed that if you stand in front of a mirror, grab a random piece of hair while looking at yourself, then holding a ruler or other object capable of accurate measurement, then marked the ruler; then afterward doing it again only without looking in the mirror, that the lengths would be different. It said that doing this created confusion to your doppelgänger, whom you supposedly see in the mirror, living in an alternate universe.

    Taking my very first steps into the United States at 10 years old, I naïvely thought that becoming an immigrant only meant enduring a bumpy plane ride. I was a boy, unaware of the challenging events that would significantly impact my life. Disguised in those events though, were valuable lessons that taught me about overcoming the tides of change. My first time attending a class in the United States, my heart dropped at finding out how significantly behind I was in the curriculum. Compounding to my feeling of alienation and discouragement, were many classmates that found it fun to mock me for my appearance and how I spoke.

    A place I feel a sense of belonging is soccer practice. As I look up from my phone, I see the green grass swaying in the wind. The car drives over the rocks and I hear the gravel crunching together beneath the rubber tires. I grab my water which sloshes around in my small blue jug and get out of the car. I look up and see my teammates, all in a circle, chatting about what happened that day at school.

  • Personal Narrative: Defining My Identity

    The task of defining my identity has taken a different direction throughout the years. In my childhood, defining my characteristics was simple due to the fact that I would just state facts. As I went throughout the different periods of adolescence, my identity became influenced by many factors including my family, peers and society. My family influenced me to be a person filled with self-pride and confidence in my racial identity; peers helped me be more extroverted and independent, and society often confused the process of how I developed my identity. Without the many influences throughout my life, I potentially could have been antisocial with no sense of pride in my

    A community provides an identity for those within it. Although I belong to countless communities such as those of African-American and McDonogh School, my hair is who I am. It associates me with individuals in the African-American community and allows me to foster a deeper connection with those that have curly hair. From a young age I was taught that straight hair was considered more beautiful and ‘professional.’ Because of this, I struggled to embrace my natural hair until I was forced to love it two summers ago.
