Personal Narrative: Chase

I went out for the track team when I was in seventh grade. I enjoyed track because I enjoy running, jumping, and spending time with my friends. The track season was amazing because I learned to do the high jump. I had to learn how to time my steps and jump backwards. Did you know that long ago they would jump forward over the bar. Then a man named Dick Fosbury tried a different way, go over backwards, now this is called the “Fosbury flop” Which I think sounds like an ice cream cone of some sort but. I also had to learn the lingo. “Up” means it’s your turn to jump. “On deck” means you are next in line. “In the hole” means you are third to jump. It is important to stay in order, once at the Metamora track meet I thought they had called my name, I jumped and made it over the bar. but It was not actually my turn so I had to jump again, I wanted to give him a Well-that-was-your-fault-not-mine kind of look. Luckily, I made it over the second time also. Another meet I remember was when I jumped 4 feet 11in. I had no idea I was going to jump that high that day because it was cold and rainy. I was very surprised and I ended up winning that event that day. Since Micah was hurt and he normally beats me, I got first so I was happy. I participated in sectionals. I had to jump 5ft

“I know you owe Southside sixty grand, well, about forty now,” I told her hoping that she wouldn’t be too upset. “I know that’s why you work for the Alliance, to help pay down this debt. I know he’s been putting the screws to you and holding you to an interest rate you’ll never get out from under. And, I know I can help, I have helped. I’ve gotten Jimmy to call off the dogs and I’ve paid down what you owe. By this time next month you’ll be finished with him.”

We greeted each other with kind respect. We met on the trail when his wagon broke. I offer to help Curtis Mick Colloni with his wagon. We exchange each other name and we left. I knew he was a skilled doctor and he he would I left the place and I ask Curtis if he would like travel together. As I was walking, I saw Hunter. I ran up to him and greeted him. I met Hunter Norm Cline during the trail when it block by a log. There was a lot of people and together, Hunter organized the group to pull the log. I ask if he would like to join me on the way to Oregon. He said he had 2 other family going on the trail and ask if I would join. He also mentioned that he was the leader of the group. I merge with the group and together we form a wagon

“That’s a lot of cash, you can not expect me to get that much in a week”

It was a perfect night for a run. Around 70 degrees with a slight breeze. I wait in my Dark Blue Mini Cooper as my watch gets my location. Feet trembling with adrenaline, much like an addict, I’m itching for a run. With a loud “BEEP,” I know the smartwatch is ready and I’m off. As time progresses, I start running faster, faster, and faster. The whispering wind would flow through my hair as I make my way down the trail. Bliss. I notice my surroundings, trees, deer, and the bright light of my headlamp. Chills go up my spine every so often. All I hear is the pitter pattering of my red running shoes and the occasional rustle of bushes. After what feels like the shortest moment ever, my half-hour run is over and I sigh with relief.

"Well, I saw something in the news this morning", said Tom Green, signing his check. "The criminals were caught. Here's your payment check. We got about fifty thousand dollars to pay for the lost stuff. You've been a valuable service".

I was chilling in my bed room playing video games when I got a unexpected text message from my best friend Jarrod saying it’s going to be a night you won’t forget my brother. Although I was king of skeptical on why he texted me this early with a jigsaw riddle message; therefore, I was uncommonly curious moreover so that I ask him what you do mean and what is going down tonight? Nevertheless he respond with rich home girl is throwing a big mansion party; infact, everybody is invited it is going to be wild like that party movie project x my brother you coming yeah without a doubt I’m coming, good I’ll pick you up at nine thirty sharp tonight because Port Neches Grove is a drive. However time went by extremely fast that heard him pull up I wasn’t even ready so I just grab my red polo shirt and hat with my new tan brown timberland boots then finally headed out, so when we arrived cars was

"Good morning," Scott said as he came into the kitchen. His mom quickly tried to hide the envelopes she was looking at. Scott saw it anyway. He knew that they were behind on some bills. The cable had been off for two weeks now. But, he didn't mention it to his mom. He knew that she was doing the best that she

Moving, a word that is dreaded by many and instills anxiety at the moment it is heard. Moving means picking up your entire life and starting a new life somewhere else. It could be a mere minutes away to a new house, or hours away to a new state. Your whole world is changed, everything that was ‘normal’ no longer is, and you are in a new place with new faces. You are now an outsider. Growing up, I was accustomed to moving because my father was in the Marine Corps. Contrary to popular belief, just because I moved a lot does not mean it got easier each time. Every move was different and I had to deal with certain things unique to each move. However, there is one specific move that presented me with a rather large obstacle. That move being my

The move across town had me excited about the new house, sad about changing schools, and happy to have found a best friend in the end. The summer before ninth grade my mother moved to her first home in the beautiful historic Old Cloverdale. Our new home was a four bedroom, two-bathroom single level home on Park Ave. The great front porch, spacious rooms, and nice sized kitchen was a huge change from our old apartment.

My move was perfect. Out of all possible word combinations I could make, the one I found was the best. I knew it could not be beat. I could hardly contain myself. I was about to win my first game after countless losses. My smile reached my ears and a light chuckle could be heard by my competitors. Amidst my uncontainable jubilation my granddad made his move. It equalled a mere eight points but brought the demise of my entire game. My perfect move was ruined.

It’s been awhile since I’ve jumped into a one-touch game, and I’m pretty glad One More Dash is the game it is because it’s remarkably fun. Time wasters like this aren’t known for their depth, but there are actually a lot of moving parts in this game that aren’t immediately perceivable.

“Mm-mmh That’s what I thought. You should be ashamed of yourself.” But the only reason I was going to steal the huge pocketbook is because I needed money to buy new shoes. Mine were all wore out so I told the lady,

As Jill and Carl started their new job at the bank they thought that everything would be great and awesome until they met their new boss Bill. Bill was a big pain in the butt he yelled at everyone and he occasionally stole money out of his employees paychecks and from people's deposits at the bank. One day he stole from the wrong people, Jill and Carl. Bill was used to the people he robbed just cowering down and taking his garbage without fighting back, but Jill and Carl were not like that. Jill said to Carl, “I can’t believe that punk boss stole money out of our hard earned paychecks.”

He asks if he will be able to move with them, and he offers his whole life savings.
