Narrative essays are a popular form of academic writing in colleges because they allow students to explore their creativity and personal experiences. Here are some narrative essay ideas for college students to consider:
A memorable vacation or trip: Write about a memorable vacation or trip you took and how it impacted you. This could be a trip to a foreign country, a road trip with friends, or even a camping trip in the wilderness.
A significant event in your life: Think about a significant event in your life, such as a graduation, a move to a new city, or a family crisis. Write about how this event affected you and what you learned from it.
A challenge you overcame: Everyone faces challenges at some point in their lives. Write about a challenge you faced and how you overcame it. This could be a physical challenge, such as training for a marathon, or a personal challenge, such as overcoming a fear or learning to deal with a difficult situation.
A relationship that changed you: Think about a relationship that had a significant impact on your life, such as a friendship or romantic relationship. Write about how this relationship changed you and what you learned from it.
A cultural experience: Write about a cultural experience that exposed you to a different way of life. This could be a trip to a foreign country, living in a dorm with students from different cultural backgrounds, or participating in a study abroad program.
Remember, a good narrative essay should not only describe a personal experience, but also reflect on the meaning and lessons learned from that experience. As you brainstorm ideas, think about how you can use your personal experiences to illustrate a larger point or theme.

I applaud you but, if it were me, I'd fear the parent backlash that we'd get at our school. She never emailed me back. My class is really young most of my birthdays are in the spring and summer. She's sure that her expose' will win her the respect and admiration of her peers--not to mention their votes when she runs for the student government. A few students kept asking about the celebration and why we weren't having it.

. The class must behave. Sometimes I feel like a babysitter because I think their parents don't want them around. I told her that when students don't follow rules they have to sometimes lose privileges. They continued to not do what they were supposed to do. The kids realized how upset they had made me, and keeping them apart actually worked.

And she carries a silver whistle around her neck, which she blows shrilly and often if anyone steps out of line. I am getting them prepared for first grade. After specialist today, I had 3 boys lose out on some of the 100th day activities. I talked to one mom at the youth basketball. He sat in the cafeteria, doing extra work while we partied away in the classroom. A recurring theme in my class. I told them they were going to spend the day learning how to follow directions and follow classroom rules.

My class is very young and immature. I also sent a note home to parents about the 100th day being cancelled and why it was cancelled.

Our first speech in Mr. Tomorrow is the 100th day of school celebration at my school.

Most turn 6 in late spring or summer. I never had him for a teacher, but I know he scared the heck out of me if I just ran across him in the hallway. The student, in his innocence, had not realised it was wrong and placed complete trust in the authority of teachers. Schubert let me sit down. As of yesterday they had 5 talley marks. At this point in the year I expect them to be able to listen and follow simple directions. So most of them should not be in school.
