Personal Narrative: Nola For A Mission Trip

285 Words2 Pages

This is the story of about a racist dog that I personally experienced back in NOLA for a Mission Trip (New Orleans, Louisiana). So I went to NOLA for a Mission Trip two summers ago with my youth group from church. The trip was a great trip overall. I met new people that I still talk to, to this day. Now this is where things get interesting. So one day we had a day where we could go off into the French Quarters and explore and just had a good time. I believe the reason that they allowed us to do this is because if all the hard work we did the previous days. The food that they had was amazing, the city was in better shape than it was before Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. My group that I was with went into a little art store and pictures were

  • Personal Narrative: Coming To Cal

    218 Words  | 1 Pages

    Coming to Cal was great for me because it was the first time I had found a real LGBTQ community. Growing up I always moved schools so most of my friendships were fleeting and upon settling for high school the Gay Straight Alliance club was extremely small so coming to Cal provided a great sense of community and belonging. The summer before my first fall semester, I took a few classes to get a feel for the campus which ended up coinciding with Obergefell v. Hodges and SF gay pride which is where I made a lot of friends. Whether it is going for drinks in the Castro, dressing up for the Folsom street fair or going to social events at Oscar Wilde, Cal has provided an amazing sense of acceptance and a safe space. During the spring semester, I preformed
