Personal Memoir

A detailed Summary of Personal Memoir


It seems that the older I get, more and more of my precious memories are lost. Although I am only seventeen years old I can't remember many things about my early childhood years. I also don't recall many memories about some of the places I've been, and some of the people I've known. Ironically I've found that the things that I want to remember always get forgotten, and the things that I want to forget always seem to stick around. Among these things are many of the embarrassing moments of my past. In times of personal weakness these disquieting memories seem to stab at my self-esteem like an inmate with an ice pick. One such event happened over the summer of 2001 at my best friend Ross Mohr's house. When I arrived at Ross' door I was greeted by his dad, who was eager to show me his new fish tanks. As I followed Mr. Mohr in to his


tank and grabbed small container, and sprinkled some food into each tank. He then turned off the lights and herded us out of his office and into the kitchen. When we entered the kitchen, Ross and Emily sat down at the table, while Mr. Mohr and I headed towards the refrigerator. I got myself a drink and started to head towards the table, when I noticed Mr. Mohr getting some candy out of the freezer. I turned around and grabbed a piece of candy too. Mr. Mohr started to give some strange looks as I grabbed the candy, and then started to laugh hysterically as I popped it into my mouth. Not understanding why he was laughing I began to confusingly chew up the piece of candy. After chewing the candy five or six times the taste of fish began to fill my mouth, and then BAM, it hit me! I was eating fish food! I ran to the sink and spit out the disgusting

Some common words found in the essay are:
Ross Emily, Ross Mohr's, Ironically I've, PERSONAL MEMOIR, piece candy, fish tanks, mohr office, ross emily,
