Personal Narrative: Writing A Memoir

305 Words2 Pages

Session 11: Unit 2, lesson 4. Writing a Memoir 1 The way thing worked out that summer, was wondrous, having to attend this Teen Bible College (TBC) was last minute and I ended up going on the unplanned missionary trip after. Spending a month and half with these fifty-six people you barley met, you become family. Good times and tough times where all there, just somehow we got more and more attached to each other.
Riding back from our last church service in Spokane, Julie smushed in with me. Our last fragment of the road trip in these bus/van sprinters was something I will always miss. “Do you think all of us will come together again?” This girl who I just met what seemed a week ago was like a sister to

  • Personal Narrative: My 6 Word Memoir

    163 Words  | 1 Pages

    My 6 word memoir does not describe myself, but it does describe who I strive to be. Along with many of my classmates, our generation is made up of texting, social media and a lack of social abilities. We can go days without having a meaningful conversation or one at all and that gets to me. Today instead of confronting people about issues we have with each other, we hide behind our phones and ignore people through what we see as a read receipt. Lately my goal has been to shy away from most communication through social media and actually have a conversation with the people I am trying to reach.

    The Lord has given me a place and sisterhood in the Jesus girls. It has lead me to listening to KLOVE each day; in turn leading me to Colorado Christian University. Had I not taken that step through the door I would still be wondering lost trying to get back to God. Would have missed KLOVE playing “Touch the Sky”; a song that along with Psalm 139 has given me sight to just how much God loves me. Wouldn’t have heard about this school, felt the Holy Spirits nudge to register, or to walk through this new door to a future where I finally receive a degree.

    Have you ever had a bad holiday? This last Thanksgiving wasn’t the best holiday I’ve encountered. The vacation was four days long and it was fun, but the Thanksgiving meal wasn’t satisfying. We left Wednesday around 9:00 a.m. and got to Watertown, Wisconsin somewhere between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. The trip was better than what it usually is, we made good timing, I kept myself occupied, took a nap, and ate a good lunch.

  • Personal Narrative: My Writing As A Writer

    335 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a "writer" I 've found my writing style to be more of a put together flourish of words and thoughts that in another 's opinion might seem like it never left the drafting stage (besides the few grammatical edits and big words to make it seem like it was written by someone smart). I went through a stage of writing in purely second person, and because of that I lost the ability to respect the need of more emotional descriptiveness. I 've gotten embarrassed to write in that context and end up passing it up for more serious tones that just don 't get my writing anywhere extraordinary. I want to gain confidence in my writing so I can go the places I want to go with it, while also learning to keep it organized and in line with my exact thoughts. My thoughts seem to provide a more well-laid out idea than my actual writing does.

    My personal memoir from this semester was written about a particular game of chess with a friend. I started by spending lots of time listing different ideas, and understanding how well those ideas would fit into a personal memoir format. This paper taught me how to use words to paint a picture in the reader’s mind. It was difficult to find one main point and keep that point relevant throughout the entire paper. Instead, I found it easier to divide the main point up into smaller ideas and explain each of those individually and then connect them all at the end of the paper.

  • Personal Narrative: A Short Story

    507 Words  | 3 Pages

    I was working on the second floor of a building when two elderly Habitat for Humanity directors fell off the roof, along with a few heavy wooden roofing boards that hit two women working on the ground. I rushed down the wooden stairs upon witnessing the event and called an ambulance that told me it would be fifteen minutes before help would arrive. The feeling of panic ensued when I realized that I had to keep four people alive until the EMTs came. That panic then turned into action triggered by a series of memories from Boy Scouts; I could suddenly recall everything I’d learned about how to treat life-threatening injuries. Moments like these are not rare for me because I’m usually the person who steps up and takes charge of a situation, a person who is used to doing amazing things.
