Personal Narrative: Noel Aikman

The summer of second grade was a really magnificent time for me because my grandpa came with his two sons from Boston to California. We went to a lot of considerable places but my all time favorite would have to be when we went to Great America. One day our whole family decided that we should go to Six Flags, so we all agreed. We woke up at exactly 8:00 A.M. and drove to Six flags with our whole family. Once we arrived my dad realized that we got the wrong tickets.

After Dad returned home from the war, he and Mom bought a two story Doelger home on 25th Ave for $6,000, a real bargain in those days. The houses were built right next to one another, but ours had a private backyard with fences separating the property. It was here Dad

I began to love how nice she was, and how much laughter she could give her friends, and looking back at it, I wouldn’t have known that a random new girl would soon be my best friend. I completely changed after that. A hand needs another to be whole and her hands seemed to have perfectly fit in mine. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there without me even realizing it. Her parents looked me in my eyes like I was a parasite who might try to steal their daughter.

If we would have been straight forward with each other and told each other what was actually happening there would not have been complications in our friendship at all. Honesty saves friendships and keeps everyone on track with their goals and

Well...I was 6 when Child Protective Services came to get us. I lived with my mom and my three sisters, the youngest was Donna she was 5 & Lizzy was 7 and Mary was 10. I remember most of my family lived in the same neighborhood like my two Aunts and my uncle and grandpa and grandma. There was an occasional gunshot, sometimes there was a fire truck rushing down our street . We lived on top of a hill at 1015 Norwich in Grand Rapids.

Then we moved with my aunt and cousins back in austin and my mom saved and saved til we moved out into a duplex it the 04 by Linder elementary. And we started there for my first grade school year then we moved down the street from there to some other duplexes for my second grade year. And my third-year we moved into these apartments down the street from Mabel Davis fourth grade year is the year we moved by ladie Bird Lake the apartments were called Lake View. And that 's when I moved to metz elementary.

In Colorado we had a nice old house with a big backyard, and a huge hill to go sledding on in the winter. Life was good. Our school was a Charter school which I didn’t like because we had to wear uniforms. Our school was just down the hill and it took less than five minutes to get there because of traffic, there was a intersection right at the bottom of the hill.

On May 20,1996 I was born Damione Freeman growing up in a small city named Pell City. Growing up wasn't easy for me father was never around just leaving me with my mother. As a child I was always happy, caring, and well mannered. When I turned five I started living with my grandmother, Dianne Freeman and my uncle, Akeem Freeman. At the age of five I was torn away from my mother because of her husband and his issues.

Freshman year came along and I wanted to attend Sullivan High School. I wanted to come back to my hometown, I was just missing the people I started it all out with in the beginning. My dad and I had all of the paperwork finished already to go for me to attend Sullivan High School in August, but my mom refused and wouldn’t budge to let me go. She didn’t want me going to Sullivan, she wanted me to stay with all of my new friends I had made at Owensville. She thought my best bet would be to stay and proceed to go to OHS.

When she left I could not do anything but cry. I was so insulted and felt like we did not do

I remember my dad setting up the hog trap with the leftover food we had after dinner. That trap is now nothing but pile of rust that lies just behind a dirt road. I remember running my fingers down the old chain link fence behind the house which was removed to expand the house. I remember waking up in the morning with the smell of bacon and staring at the particle board ceiling, making pictures out of all the random shapes. Now that board has been replaced with a nice painted boring wall.

My teammates and I finally reached the Atlanta stadium, the head coach told us all the formations,plays,strategies,and who will be starting. When I heard "Eric Marshall will be one of the primary and starting receivers," I almost jumped in joy, because it had been a dream to play in the super bowl. As we walked into the stadium to practice, I could hear fans screaming, many of which were cheering for us. I felt as if we could not lose or we would let many, many people down. While Marcus and I were doing some practice plays, I felt great When our rivals, the Patriots came in, they looked as if they have been training for this moment for their lives. They did many drills and each of them either looked perfect or the closest to perfect.

Sunday night, as I watched the Giants fail miserably to cover the spread, I attempted to watch my wager fail in silent miserable fashion. That desire was interrupted around midway through the second quarter. As much as I just wanted to watch the game in peace I couldn't just ignore the GroupMe blowing up.

Having a boyfriend that rejects you sucks. When it all became too much for Skylar Evans, she moves to Los Angeles to live with her aunt. She had an almost perfect life; a sweet, caring boyfriend, good grades, and rarely any arguments with her aunt. That is, until after her high school graduation. She returns to Cincinnati, Ohio for college, where she crosses paths with her opressor, Chris. Will she ever forgive him for hurting her, or will the hatred they have for each other stay in the future.

It all started on a summer day, I went to nags head beach with my family. We got a big beach house with my whole family and a few friends. This was about 4 years but it feels like it was just the other day. We went at the very end of the summer. It was still nice and warm outside.
