Personal Narrative Essay About Summer 2016

The first part of summer was the usual hiding bones, chasing tennis balls, barking at guests at the door, and a lot of eating and sleeping. I was thinking summer wasn’t going to change much of my life other than spending more time outside. Then one day I overheard

It all began on a perfect fall day. Prancing home from the bus, watching the leaves dance in the wind as the slight chill on my skin gave me goosebumps. Heading for my home, swinging open the door; My fall day became not-so-perfect anymore. My Dad, sitting in his brown chair. “Hello sweetheart, how was school?”

2016 has been chock-full of events thus far, from the Denver Broncos being the new NFL Champions, to the release of the newest iPhone,

Summer of 1994. New York City smelled no different than hot rat piss and looked accordingly. Fresh off my 15th birthday and wandering the Brooklyn streets with Hakeem, we followed the music wherever it played. Our community cherished music through constant airplay. Anyone with loud speakers, either in their car, apartment, or boombox, blared any of the anthems from the future greats. Whether it's Nas, Wu-Tang, Biggie, or Tribe, the list is blissfully endless. Hakeem’s brother, a well-connected music promoter, gave Hakeem two tickets to this secret show he was putting on for Ice Cube, who, despite being the first notable west coast rapper, carries a rage within him that the east coast entirely recognizes.

comming up and it's already the end of August, truly insane. For a while at the start of this year I was not sure what was going to happen and I could have

I am being transported in a chinook chopper as a rescue team for the survivors of operation redwing. All of the sudden I see a taliban soldier holding an RPG looks right at my helicopter and fires. The rocket zooms across the mountain and hits the helicopter. A blast of heat knocked me backward and out of the helicopter. I land into the mountain side as I see my helicopter crash into the mountain side. Soon enough I am rolling down the hill until I strike a rock. I am sitting on top of a cave and I hear coughing inside the cave. In fear of my life I thought it was the taliban, but when I come around the corner I see one of the soldiers I came to rescue. I sigh with relief and lean against the wall of the cave. But I did not have too much of a break from the action. I heard foot steps of two people on top of the cave. Me and marcus have our rifles pointed at the entrance of the cave. Four black beady eyes see us in the cave and we put 3 rounds in each of their heads.

The thing I liked about spring break that I did was when I went to the party over my cuzens house. It was very fun, we played Vollyball but I didn’t get to play that much mostly the grownups played instead of the kids, we played basketball and soccer. We had so much fun there and we all had a great time.The party was great and everyone had a great time there!!

Staying up until 2 a.m. on a school night is something I try to avoid, knowing that the person that I will see looking back at me in the mirror a few hours later when my alarm goes off will be a person that does not look prepared for the day ahead of them, but on November 9th, 2017 a new person stood before me. The night before was the 2016 Presidential Election and for someone always interested in politics, this was a major point of excitement in my life. I was, unlike the rest of my family and peers, a Donald Trump supporter and knew that the night was doomed to bring disappointment. I followed everything during the election cycle and was dedicated to grow my political interests and discover my views on those controversial issues always discussed in the news. The true point of my interest overall in this election was how the underdog defied the odds and won. I was and still am as shocked as the next person that Hillary Clinton lost the election and my interest in trying to learn why is something that I could ramble on about all day.

This summer I chilled with my friends and family by just walking around and talking. We have the best times when it is just us doing nothing so we have to think and create something. I do not like just being bored so I always have to find something to do. Me and my friends always end up playing basketball or making songs for fun. Me and my friends decided that we go out our senior year like. I always knew when i met them that we were gonna be cool forever. We always have problems but that is what makes us stronger as a group. Even tho we did nothing over the summer we still had fun in our own ways.

My initial plan for the summer was to finish all my summer assignments in the first two weeks so I can relax for the rest of the summer. I have already failed this goal because I haven’t touched any assignments due to all the lovely homework given by my early morning math course at MA. I am a indoor person so I rarely go outside during the school year. However, every summer my family and I take a two week trip to some out of state destination. This year we are going to Oregon to visit several National Parks. Because of my father’s deep love for nature, unless I persuade him to put other destinations in the schedule he never plans to go to famous places other than parks. So it is my responsibility in the family to google other places that we

I spent the entire week people watching everywhere I went! The best place, in my opinion, was Walmart! Don’t get me wrong because I absolutely love Walmart. They are so cheap and I’m just a poor college kid so I really don’t have any other option when it comes to grocery shopping. Although when I am out and about in public I typically do not pay attention to what is going on around me. So having this assignment taught me to take into account what is happening in my surrounding area. I will warn you, some of the things I saw and heard were quite outrageous! But hey, that’s life!

In recent years the weather patterns are nothing short of crazy. While parts of the Northern Hemisphere are suffering intolerable cold conditions with floods and excessive winds and snow falls in the Southern Hemisphere there is extensive droughts, floods, winds and other horrors like super fires. In Australia as elsewhere the droughts have cost lives as farmers kill off their animals and dig crops into the ground.

As the last of the snow melts from the pale green grass, the sun is beginning to assert itself with more authority each day. It runs its course through the sky, arcing higher and higher towards its apex above. It is spring, and the world is humming with the excitement of new life and warmer weather. There is a faint breeze in the air, bringing the fresh scents of spring to my nostrils. Suddenly I realize with astonishment that, even though I never noticed it, I haven’t been able to smell anything outdoors in several months.

Hey, all of you I was thinking of writing you an email so that's what I'm going to do. Monday all I got down on paper was … Now, as many of you may know. I will not be able to continue the last week of July 2017 LITs due to unforeseen circumstances. I was looking forward to spending the rest of the time with you guys but I know now that will not be the case unless you come to August LITs… Just three sentences and I think when I read it over today, I used an urban American accent but okay. I really have no idea what to say or do right now. You felt like a family away from home although it was short lived for the most part I could recall every good moment. I'm pretty disappointed that I didn't see the Fireflies garage band video. I just

I woke up one summer day and my mom told me to make sure my bags were packed.
