Personal Narrative: Ariana

As a third and fourth grader, I participated in choir. I enjoyed it then but decided to stop so that I would have more time for homework. In the beginning of seventh grade, when it came time to decide if you want to join choir, Maria Abbulone and I chose to sign up. We thought it would be a fun experience because we enjoy singing, and we had done it in past years. As choir practices began, Maria and I thought that it would be a fun experience for the year, and we might decide to do it in eighth grade. As the choir kicked into full swing, everything was going well.

When I was six I wanted to be Hannah Montanna. When I was 12 I still dreamed of becoming a pop-star, but figured I could have a second job too – just in case. I’m seventeen now and I’ve have read Maya Angalou and Ralph Waldo Emerson; I’ve studied American history, marvled at astounding scientific discoveries, and cheered for political revolutions. I've traveled to different states and analyzed geological features for the aesthetic beauty and for the geological history. I've done many things, the logical step here would be then for me to pick; speak or forever hold my peace, but in all honesty, I don't know what I want to be. My six-year old self would say it's because I've seen too much, I think it's because I haven't seen enough. I want to

“Yeah, why?” You wondered why he would be talking about that when you were searching for a restaurant.

Last year, 2016, scaled to my first tournament that would be played at Marista. I would not

I'm sorry it took me so long to answer but Maria was a little under the weather I was waiting to see how it would develop.

So maybe I’m reading too much into this, but I get the feeling that things are pretty busy for you right now, especially with Christmas approaching What I don’t want to do is have us going to dinner becoming ‘task’ on your list of things to get done this week. Maybe I’m completely misunderstanding the situation, which isn’t hard to do on text messages, maybe you’re a looking at us going out as a chance to take a quick break, I was thinking Simon and Seafort’s. In any case, I’ll keep Friday night open until I hear from you.

Aileana and I made plans to jog along the beach and then go out surfing today. We decided to meet on the beach around nine this morning. I thought I would surprise her later with something different she would delight in. I wanted this to be a special day of having fun and enjoying each other. She now felt up to exercise. Her ribs still gave her a few twinges when taking deep breaths, but her face was back to its beautiful contours with her lush lips back to their kissable self.

“What did you mean at the restaurant when you proposed we enter into a committed relationship together?” Addison asked.

I decided to chance it and drove to the location; the doors were locked. I thought I was going to have to write you and ask for the alternate assignment, which really upset me because I didn’t want to do that. My parents came into town the 5th of October. When my parents are around, that’s the only time I get (more like choose) to go on a date. I was not going to let this assignment defeat me, I remembered someone had mentioned in class that there was a law library in Newport News. I called and was excited that a human being answered the phone. My yearly date was spent at a law library, romantic, I know. The lady at the front didn’t crack a smile. She alone made me nervous. I ramble when I’m nervous and she just stared at me. I finally got out that all the books looked the same and asked for some sort of direction on where to start. She asked to see my list and asked if I wanted her to help. While I appreciated her gesture, my big girl britches needed to be put on and I wanted to figure it out myself.

(c) Your reaction to the response: I told her I’m in mood of shopping and I might get dinner there but I didn’t want to go alone. She then accepted this spontanuos invitation from me and we went to Eugene on Monday night.

“You haven’t got much time to decide, dearie. I’ve got plenty of offers waiting on the other side of town, but I thought a lovely lass like you might need a little bit of cheerin’ up.” His smirk challenged Angelina. “Well, I ain’t got no time for dilly dallyin’,” he said, walking

In the meantime, I watch the world change into freshly grown crimson roses. After meeting each other, we decided to see where things would go. On the fourth date, we ate at an Italian restaurant in Rock

“Take it easy kiddo. You should be fine so long as you avoid creatures like me. A lot of them may think they have a *bone to pick with you!” He chuckles softly at his joke.

And so I slowly took my bag and made my move out of the door.

“I will see you at my apartment’s gate at 10 AM. If that is alright with you” She checked.
