Annotation I wrote my narrative essay on my experience I had with my Human Experience teacher when I first arrived at Eckerd College.

“You know you're”...successful ”when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” ― Dr. Seuss This twist on Dr. Seuss quotes exemplifies my goal in life.

would be rare for me to get an essay in middle school. During my junior year that all changed. I started getting essays from left to right, it felt like a ferris wheel, a never ending cycle.

Personal Narrative Essay Believe it or not, sometimes a gracious action can bring a huge influence on a person. When I read the introduction that instructor Heller wrote, there is a sentence she wrote: “Sometimes the most influential moments in our lives are smaller moments, events that we may not recognize as influential until years after the experience.” For some reason, I related to it strongly.

Deciding on a topic for this paper was a true challenge. On one side, nothing particularly exciting and worth discussing had been or is going on in my life. On the other side, it is scary to bring up the bad memories, problems or bitter incidents; it is like accidentally scratching an old scar.

All of my work took most of my time away from Jett and Athena. My precious Athena is probably smarter than the greek goddess herself when she was
Sometimes you’re too caught up in all the bad things in life to enjoy the good things. I’ve learned this the last winter when my friend jordan and I went on a snowboarding trip to the mountains.

Narrative K-12 From a very young age, I could remember myself wanting to become a teacher. I loved school. Before my younger brother started school, I would create worksheets for him to complete. I wanted to teach him everything I knew. This passion for education was sparked even further by the positive affirmations I received from teachers who were role models to me.
