Personal Narrative Essay : My Birthday Birthdays

The sky was always blue holding sunshine rays in her world. Her name was Rosaline Deponte, my great-grandma. The continuous smile that she showed on her face reminded us how precious life is and to not take things for granted. Cold wood floors that could easily freeze toes, single-walled construction, shut rows of jalousie windows, and the smell of warm sweet bread on the counter 24/7, that was Rosaline’s house.

Me and my sister decide to throw a small house party. We really didn 't plan it right because we had

The parents were fed up with our wild animal like behavior and told us to play downstairs in the basement. We all went down the basement and started to playing tag. Therefore, we had to be careful playing because the basement was not finished at the time and had metal studs where the walls are supposed to go and the concrete floors that are now hardwood. When everybody went upstairs because they were as tired as an olympic runner after a meet my Dad came down to fix a light bulb. He used a ladder to fix it so he could reach and when he was done he went upstairs so I was the only one in the basement. I wanted to be like my Dad so I decided to climb the ladder. I was at the top when my foot slipped off the ladder. Somehow I was able to turn my body around and grab onto a pipe to stop myself from falling. I felt the pipe starting to brake so I decided to swing on to the metal stud next to me because I was sure that was going to hold me. When my

I walk into the room my cousins trailing behind me, I walk into the room and go to the bed closer to the door. I put my stuff on the bottom bunk and go to my closet and tape a sign on the front so they know this is my closet. A few seconds later Iris, Alicia, and Pastel walk into the room. Iris walks over to my bed and moves her arm across my bed swiping everything on the ground.

It was in the late November and I was heading over to my friends house around 6 PM to go to a sleepover at my best friend Anthony's house. My dad said “don't sneak out tonight or anything like that.” So I nodded my head yes because he was my dad. When I got out my other friends Drew, Griffin, Bryan all said hi to me than we continued to go into the house to play some video games and we always have call of duty tournaments to see who is the best one. Than I won the call of duty tournament than we went to the movies around 7 than I remember it was a cheesy scary movie that wasn't that good but we messed around in it like ignorant the ignorant kids we were. So we got home around 9. Than we just played a couple of games of hide and seek in the pitch black house and all scared each other so bad. At one point in the game my friend griffin jumped out of the closest with a clown mask and i just about had a heart attack.

I ran upstairs crying filled with terror. I come to the top of my steps and turn to see my dad holding my 7 year old sister Alli crying in his arms. It looked like my dad had just seen a ghost, because he was so scared. Considering we were all extremely scared we all slept in our parent’s room. Next thing you know my dad got a text from our neighbors Stacey and Tyler saying our tree was on

Waking up excited to go to my uncle peter’s ranch. As soon as I got to the ranch, I said hello to all my family, after that, i rushed to get a four-wheeler from the back of the ranch. My cousins and I rushed to the monte that is about five minutes from my uncle’s ranch. My Cousin’s and I always do tricks on the four wheelers. Some of the of the tricks we do is doing a wheelie or drifting in the wet dirt. After being in the in the four wheelers for a while we decided to go back to the ranch and eat delicious carne asada, that my uncle “Peter” makes for the whole family.

It was finally time to go trick or treating. I got in my costume, pulled my hood down over my face, and put on my backpack. Then I grabbed my pillowcase and ran outside to join my grandma and

It was 86 degrees my socks were soaked, my water was already warm and I’d just gotten it like 2 minutes ago. I was only 5 and I was walking next to the stroller where my 3 year old brother was, my 7 year old brother was on the other side. We were walking around in “Animal Kingdom” not knowing what to do (I didn’t know that was possible.) We finally found a dino playground (it was a regular playground but they put a dinosaur at the front) I ran straight to the base of it before my mom even finished her sentence I was so excited, little did I know what would happen next.

It was a special night, the first night of winter break. I headed to my friends Aryans house to hang out with a group of buddies. We have done this before. Play X-box and hang out after a week of school. Things were going great so we all decided to sleepover. No one could predict how the night would end up.

The night it all happened, I had my whole family and the entire neighborhood there to

The morning sunshine seeped through the cracks between my shutters, lighting up my room. I could hear the clock ticking and the rays of sunlight bouncing off of my eyelids. I barely got any sleep last night because I was ecstatic that tomorrow was, my birthday! I jumped up out of bed, how could I have forgotten that it was my birthday? Suddenly all of my drowsiness turned it into excitement and I jumped up, throwing the red gradient quilt off of my bed. I slowly walked out of my room, making very little noise, checking to see if anyone else was awake. I peeked through the intricate staircase railings and tried to spot anyone downstairs, no one was in sight. I tiptoed down the cream coloured stairs, reached the bottom and got startled when my mom yelled, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”, her voice bouncing off the walls of house. A grin so big spread across my face, I couldn’t believe I was turning four years old!

Once everyone was in the house I start to close the door slowly, and I see my uncle getting out of his car with his family. I stand in front of the door, waiting for them to come in. Finally, they come in and I shut the door and lock it. All you hear in the house are kids playing, adults talking, and my mother was in the kitchen cooking something up for us to eat.

"Happy Birthday", my mom screamed out and scared me the morning of June 9. But it was surprising and nice of her since she wished me before anyone else. It was my eighteen birthday and it was my day. While looking out the big windows in my room, I thought to myself, I will do what satisfies me today, but wasn't quite sure what? I didn’t receive any calls from my friends, or other relatives. Nobody was home either besides my mom with whom I can’t make plans because she got her own work to do. It depressed me because it seemed like this was going to be one boring eighteen birthday.

It is April 4th. It is my 21 birthday.21 years ago I was born and got named Thea. My mom Emily, dad James, sister Maddison, and brother Liam are coming over to celebrate my birthday. There are a few things I must do before they come.
