Personal Narrative: My Michigan Hero

585 Words3 Pages

" Good morning Owen, I hope you have a great day." Mrs. Derk's gave me a shining smile as I walked down the hallway past the office to start third grade at Pathfinder Elementary School in Fremont. My Michigan hero doesn't do big things, she does a bunch of small things everyday to make people smile and have a positive beginning to their day. Mrs. Derk's maybe did not have the most exciting or relaxing job in the world being a elementary secretary she made the best of her job and expressed a positive outlook. She always went the extra mile for her friends and coworkers but not expect much or any thing in return for all the hard work that she does. My Michigan hero did not use weapons in a war to become my hero all she had to do was smile and say a friendly hello. …show more content…

Mrs. Derk's said I could stay in pathfinders office where she worked as there secretary and help with small things around the office and school. My mother left me sitting in a stroller straining to get out and run around the office. Mrs. Derk's walked over to me while I was sitting in my stroller with a smiling face and asked, " Would you like to help me with mail?" I nodded my head vigorously which made her face light up even more. Mrs. Derk's helped me out of the stroller and then lead me into the teachers lounge where there was a group of cubbies that each had a teachers name on it. She gave me a stack of envelopes and papers with names I did not recognize. She taught me the different names and where they went in the group of cubbies.

And from the study of things underfoot, and from reading and thinking, came a kind of exploration, myself and the land. In time the two became one in my mind. With the gathering force of an essential thing realizing itself out of early ground, I faced in myself a passionate and tenacious longing— to put away thought forever, and all the trouble it brings, all but the nearest desire, direct and searching.

    I have lived in Michigan for my whole life.   The state of Michigan itself is a very unique place, but even more unique is the upper peninsula of Michigan.   The UP is barely more than three percent of the population of Michigan.   We 're known as Yoopers, many people think of us as rednecks that sit around and hunt all day.   Though the opening days of hunting season means most of the teachers are gone for hunting, there is a lot more to the UP than hunting.

    When I was younger, one of the first things people would ask me when we met was “Where are you from?” In response, I always said, “McKeesport”, but felt contempt every time that word left my mouth because I knew my hometown was a cesspool of poverty and demoralization. Even though I still know McKeesport is a bad place to live, the feeling attached to my response to inquiries about my hometown has changed. Instead of contempt, I feel determined to enact a citywide metamorphosis. Growing up, there were two contrasts in my life.

  • Personal Narrative: My Home State, Texas

    219 Words  | 1 Pages

    My home state is Texas, and a problem Texas faces is an overall mindset of systemic racism, sexism, and xenophobia. Texas is a very conservative state, thus many of the policies passed by our legislation are written at the expense of women and minorities. Although I might sound highly critical of our state government, I do not believe that these negative mindsets are deliberate attempts to put others down, I feel that it is simply an ignorance to the issues women and minorities face, and a lack of empathy. Ignorance is easily countered by thorough education. The easiest way to solve this is for us constituents of these politicians, to bring the issues that affect us to the forefront.

We decided to try out the northern beaches of the United States. Moratorium week, just after the fourth of July holiday, was really the only time that the families could get away without having a basketball practice, cross country practice, a baseball game, or worry about work calling.
