Descriptive Experience

Unconventional Experience Nineteen years ago I was born in a little town in southern New Jersey called Manahawkin. It is a tourist town, and even today is genuinely only known for the island that it is attached to, and even saying that it is “known” is a stretch. Typically, tourists do not even know the name of my town while driving through it. When I arrived at college, I had to constantly answer the question of where I am from. Eventually I learned to just fib a little and say that I am from “Long

Waiting. My brother and I’s relationship has always seemed to be different than most. I’d say we’re closer than most, understand each other better than our parents do. That being said, sitting in an airport with family just as anxious as me was an experience. Mitchell and I were not always so close. Being an entire five years apart, six grades apart, we definitely didn’t get along for a long time. Although, once he left for college things changed. I’m still unsure if it was because I’d hit a point

My friend Wilson and I were at the airport, we had our suitcases in hand and were ready to board the plane. I was kissing my wife goodbye and said, “I’ll be back soon Hun.” I then looked at Wilson he was a tall, scrawny man, he was about 6.5, he had long arms, wasn’t built and had a shaved face. Wilson and I were heading to Canada for a business trip. The plane was a small passenger airplane; Wilson’s cousin owned a small airplane company so we were able to take it for cheap instead of the more

I was scared, no I was terrified. This was all one big new experience. First plane ride, first time out of the country, first time being away from my family for longer than 3 days, first time without any access to the internet; it was a trip full of firsts. I was so nervous I’ve never done anything like this before and couldn’t believe it was happening now. On the car ride to the airport I couldn’t breathe I finally cracked. I acted cool, calm, and collected, but then it all hit me at once.

got in the car and we took off. I was very nervous because I knew that all my friends wanted to go on the roller coasters with the loops. Little did I know that my gargantuan fear of going upside down on a roller coaster would become an amazing experience I would never forget. After the two and a half hour drive to Great America Amusement Park in Santa Clara, we arrived. The car ride went by way too fast. In my head, I was terrified, but I thought I did a decent job of hiding it. In the car ride

Filled with excitement and joy I began to fill my suitcase, overloading with clothing that I most likely will not wear. A I finish my exaggerated packing I heard a thumping sound of knocks at the front door. I hurriedly squish everything and make my way to the door only to be greeted by Ely’s joyful expression. Once we manage to pack our things in the trunk we head off to the airport. Once at the airport were greeted with our growling tummies ready to devour. We have fifteen minutes before our flight

The alarm went off, “Ring-ring-ring-ring!” Under my cozy blanket, I thought of the spectacular experiences awaiting me these few days. I jumped out of bed, swished through my room and got ready. In no time I got ready for what was awaiting! With the stars shining like little diamonds in the dark sky, my parents and I got into the car. I couldn’t believe this day finally arrived, and I was going to Disneyland. We first picked up my enthusiastic friend Kaitlyn and headed to the airport where some of

Aby Adams 3rd hour Trip to Colorado My family and I had planned a trip to Denver, Colorado to visit my brother and his girlfriend. It took months and months to finally have it all planned out, but we finally figured everything out. We left for the cities on a Wednesday night. We stayed in a sketchy hotel in the cities by the airport and flew out of Minneapolis around 5:30 a.m. I was so nervous, as it was my very first plane ride. The plane was quite small. Our plane was delayed due to them having

When I was asked to be Shane's godmother it was around my mom's birthday. In November my mom made reservation for a hotel in Ohio. Fast forward to January. After school on Friday my mom, sister, Nana, and I started heading to Ohio. On the way to the hotel we stopped at the TA so we could get something to eat and use the rest. When I walk past Subway and Pizza Hut the smell was so amazing, the smell of both places where so good, I didn’t know which one to pick. I ended up getting Pizza Hut because

My Colorado Experience I had the feeling of ease and not a worry in the world. No stress, no drama. Those were my thoughts and emotions when my parents eagerly told me we were going to Colorado for our family vacation. My escape zone, place where I could just get away. Only thoughts going through my head were, “Can we please leave right now.” I counted down the days eagerly, waiting… waiting… waiting. Finally! The day we finally got to head out to Colorado. The drive was the most time consuming
