Goals and Dreams :: Example Personal Narratives

Goals and Dreams       I hate to shop.  I do non use that word lightly either.  I had probably rather fairly out my closet than go shopping.  My mom ever so did the shopping round my house while I was growing up. Though, when it came to shopping for clothes and shoes, attention was required.  I have always lived in a small town.  It is matchless of those towns where the local beauty shop is full of gossip and the local eatery is full of coffee-drinkers and cigarette smoke. My mom, my older brother, my younger sister, and I would load up in the car and drive to the shoe store.  The shoe store fitting outside of the town was pretty well-known ... to us.  It was a long, narrow, white pulley-block building with a gravel parking lot.  Inside it had a role for purses, one for belts, some socks, and of course, shoes.       I was always given the choice of some(prenominal) shoes I wanted.  I knew thou gh, to pass the mother inspection, it was best if they were mostly white and low-top.  When I found what I wanted, I had to try them on.  I would walk around in them to see if the heel was going to font up and subject, check them out in those little mirrors they prop up in the floor, and (as the final stage of the analysis) have my toes mashed.  My mom would get down in the floor and place her thumb at the end of my biggest toe.  She always left this little dent in the end of my shoe, which I haggard no time popping out with the help of my toes.  If at that place was thumb-room that meant there was growing room which, to her, seemed to be the most important part of shopping.       It is homophile(a) how we buy our clothes and shoes anticipating growth.  This is not a bad idea.  (I cannot judge that I ever owned anything that stayed too big for very long.)  near of my life has been centered around the biggers and bett ers.  It worked.  Each of the phases of my life have been, in hindsight, progressively greater experiences.  I never wanted to leave master(a) school then I had a blast in graduate(prenominal) school.
