Personal Narrative: Year 1 Astronomy

290 Words2 Pages

I have always loved the night sky, especially the moon. Both of my parents were Muggles, so I never understood the magical aspects of astronomy, but my father bought a set of high-power binoculars when I was quite young and would often show me the planets, interesting stars, and close-ups of the moon. From this I developed quite a love for astronomy, and I even hoped to become an astronaut one day. Then I received my Hogwarts acceptance letter and learned for the first time that I was a witch. When I arrived I was sorted into Ravenclaw and was very excited to begin my classes, but especially astronomy. Year 1 Astronomy did not disappoint in the least. I loved learning about the different planets and the characteristics typically associated

    In Bryan E. Penprase’s chapter one of The Power of Stars, Penprase talks about many features of the sky that we admire every day. The general theme of this chapter in my opinion is the relevance astronomy has in our everyday lives, and how it’s been that way since the ancient times. Each culture has their own interpretation of what the sky means whether it come to festival planning, farming, harvesting, and even religious means. The ancient Indians had their lives planned around the alignment of the stars.

    A time when I was faced with a significant challenge, but learned to overcome it was sophomore and junior year in history.

  • Personal Narrative: The Space Invasion

    816 Words  | 4 Pages

    It all goes back to the year 2001, the month of April on 5th, a time when there was an eclipse of the moon or a lunar eclipse as those who know it better, may call it. The interactions in the cosmic world full of fantasies lead to the emergence of a new species of human-like creatures. I believe there must have been some nuclear reactions that took place when the sun and the moon-faced one another, and finally some evolution occurred. The nuclear reaction must have been a unique one. Consequently, it led to the rise of the dead to be part of the living; the zombies finally came into existence.

When I had to repeat my junior year I was mad at myself for not be able to complete the school year. As time went on I was able to focus on the positives in the situation and I was able to finally accept that I was not prepared for my senior year both emotionally and academically considering I missed so much school. If I did continue on to senior year I would not have been close to prepared as I am now for college.
