My Place-Personal Narrative

Decent Essays
“Tell them we are going!” my mother screamed from her room. Our ride was here. We were heading to my favorite place. We go there every Monday in the afternoon around 6:00 p.m. I opened the door to go outside. The sky seemed full of white and gray clouds moving to the south. The mountains were located on the south. The first time one of the church people proposed going to the mountains to pray, not everybody seemed convince. A very different place, yet everyone goes there. The green Ford F-150 was parked outside and my mom was still inside. My stomach felt like someone was tickling me from inside. It was a late August afternoon, the time around when the sun starts to rush to go home and the moon comes by to visit a little sooner. My heart was …show more content…
From the car window I could see the mountains, they seemed blue. My mom, brother and everyone in the car seemed relax. Each one of us had set foot in the mountain before. We watched the sunset. Sunsets are like beautiful rare paintings. No matter how many times you look at sunsets, its art always surprises you. On the first week going to the mountains, we witness this beautiful view. The sun was already going down but it was taking its time. Orange clouds were standing on top of the sun. On top laid pink and purple colors in the sky. Opening my arms, my nose sniffed a fresh air bumping into my face. It reminded me of the fresh smell of mint after opening a pack of gum. A scary sensation brought curious thoughts of falling as humpty dumpy had fallen off the wall. The city lights looked like Christmas lights. Certainly there was this feeling of calmness as my eyes were put on the …show more content…
My heart dropped in amazement observing the reflection of His love painted through the sky. I am a believer. Closing my eyes, I tasted the feeling of peace just as if my mouth had savored my mom’s homemade hot chocolate on a wintry day. The sky’s artistic view brought to me the softest emotion that with tenderness hugged my heart. Moving my feet was challenging, but it offered me a moment to breathe out. Continuing is always harder. The sensation surely brought life lessons with it. You can’t win the battle if you don’t move your feet to go fight. Thoughts began attacking my mind as my legs fought to keep

    The crisp breeze rustled my hair as I walked out of my house on the fall September day with my dad drilling instructions into my head. It was my first Little League baseball game ever, and my dad wanted to make sure it wasn’t my last. Being seven years old and never touching a baseball was something that had scared me; a lot. I had no idea what to think about this foreign, petrifying, game could possibly be about. The car ride from my house was only a few minutes away from the fields where I would begin my baseball career.…

    Silent Fields We had been hiking for half a day by the time we reached the base camp to Mount Fairfield. My feet were blistered and my clothes were wet with sweat. I looked like I had gone into a sauna with my clothes on, but that didn’t stop me from winking at the crew of women mountaineers that we passed on the way to base camp two hours earlier. I lit a cigarette as I walked; I deserved it.…

    I am confident that almost all of us have had to go through a deceased relatives belongings at one time or another. You know what I’m talking about- after “Uncle Edward” dies an e-mail, phone call, or letter arrives with an itemized list of his belongings and you have been invited to choose what you want among the other relative's or close friends. To be honest, I find the experience awkward and strange. My belief is that even in families with stable dynamics, this scenario has the potential to stir up emotions, and no matter how well family members get along, there will be a level of envy and bitterness that cousin Ted, brother Tom, or sister Carol walked off with the antique armoire while leaving the tin can of nuts and bolts, a hack saw with a dull blade, or a favorite rock that Uncle Ed found on a hike years ago, for the rest of the family.…

    It is class night at the Wonderfully Made Foundation for those of us ladies staying in the shelter. I am nervous about class, but excited also because the ladies and staff have spoken highly of tonight’s volunteer presenter. “You are going to love Ms. LaTara” Mrs. Lisa said to me as the kids and I walked in. I thought… I don’t know about that. I’m tired and I just want to be at home or at choir rehearsal, because it’s what I’m familiar with.…

    Rory came to our store and asked for me to join him in the office to discuss more, which I did. At the beginning of the conversation I again said that I was not in no way, giving a demand but I was asking for the transfer. We began our conversation again around where is all the areas that I've already covered, and where exactly is home. This began to make me defensive because I know how to lead people into conversations to get certain results I'm looking for. It's called "open ended questions".…

    As the bell rang at the end end of sixth hour at school everybody was in a rush to get to the buses, their cars, or their bikes and head home. I packed up my stuff and thanked the teacher as nobody ever does. As I left the room I realized that it was Friday and that I get to go to my dad’s house for the weekend. The thought was both exciting and exhausting stating the fact that his little homestead was out in the middle of Wonder Valley, California basically a desert wasteland but very peaceful and wondrous and that I had to ride my bike for miles and miles to get there. As I hopped on my bike and before riding off I took a drink of water and made sure I had my phone.…
