Personal Narrative Essay : The Day Of My Family

It all started off with my family and I going to Mexico. We were going on a vacation. I was pretty excited to see my cousin. He was a really funny guy, especially because the way he tells his jokes. When we got to my godfather’s house, it was huge. It had 2 stories, 5 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, a garage, and a big patio. I realized that staying at his house was going to be the best . So my cousin, brother, and I we all ate when we arrived. After we ate we went outside to play soccer, as we were going outside I noticed he had and ATV. He said we could use it later. After soccer we went inside to shower, because we were gonna go to the mall.

My family has lived here in Oregon since the before the war between the states, and family tells us stories of the good times before all these japs started taking over. Around the turn of the century or so it started to seem like these people were everywhere. It all started with the building of the railroad. The companies brought in those people to build the railroad, and now that the railroad is completed they will not leave. To make matters even worse there is an effort by their leaders to get them to strike for the same pay as us white people that work for the railroad. There has been extremely little or no effort on their part to become like us Americans. I was walking through town the other day and what did I see, there was a huge Buddha statue in front of a new Buddhist temple. They can't even go to church like regular people.

Growing up was awesome in my household even though my family and I would do extravagant activities. I was automatically a American citizen when I was born because my father is retired from the US Navy. When I was about three years old, we all moved to the United States of American. The first state that we lived was San Diego, California. We spent almost fours year in California before moving to La Porte, Indiana. It was easier for me to adapt and make friends in California because a lot of the people in that state are diverse in ethnicity. Also the Filipinos has a high living population in California, especially in San Diego. Most of my friends when I lived in California were my classmates in Mason Elementary School. It was not rare for me to find Filipinos in San Diego but, when I moved to Indiana it felt like a surprise when I encounter a Filipino here in Indiana. The only real friend that I had in California were my cousins. We would always come to each others homes every day. Most of the times we were together we would spend most of the time playing outdoor activities. One of our favorite outdoor activity is playing basketball or baseball.

My personal narrative has to do with my journey alongside my family in an event that we all faced. When I was in fourth grade my father got cancer. I am not over protective of the fact that he did, in fact I am quite open on the subject. If they haven’t forgotten, then my friends know, and classmates at the time did know. In this way it is very personal, but also a shared story. As I stated earlier, my father got cancer when I was in fourth grade. This can certainly be considered an unusual childhood. I do not think that many children have had their parents go through cancer when they were around this age. My family spent lots of time in this situation. We were open with this fact, and people had helped us. My fourth grade class

           As soon as we pulled up me and my brother Spencer jumped out of the car like we were bungee jumping, although I still kinda felt really sick, but there was no time to chicken out and ruin this perfect day so I sucked it up and went with it. We took the Six Flags bus to get closer to the park. The bus had a circle in the middle that spun so I asked my mom if I could sit there and she said, yes! They were sitting in the front of the bus where I couldn't see them but it didn't matter. I felt like I was already on a roller coaster because every time he would turn a corner I would go flying. I looked out the window and saw the most beautiful tree I have ever laid my blue eyeballs on, in my life. All I could think of is I will never see a tree that beautiful in my life! After what feels like an hour on the bus I get really sick and tired of the “pretend rollercoaster” so I look out the window to see another really pretty tree! “My goodness they have a lot of beautiful trees” I say under my breath and think nothing of it. A few more minutes go by and the

We were all seated upstairs with only one huge table for all of us. There was also a play structure. It was just a table full of us and a huge plastic structure. The enormous bright ones like you see at Chucky Cheese. It was in the back of the room and had a large purple tunnel that went from one side of the room to the other with swing and monkey bars at one end and a slide and more purple tunnels at the other. No one was playing on it so my four little cousin and my sister squealed and ran for it. They all climbed over one another other and immediately started playing tag. All the parents and me when to sit at the table. All of my aunts and uncles sat next to each other with room for the kids in between them. I sat in the middle of my dad and my grandma. Everyone sat in there seats and settled down all the parents started shouting for the kids to sit down as well. So we could all order our drinks, but the kids were too busy running around and playing. All the parents could manage to say was, “Aye, dios mio,” and “Ven aquí

This weekend I was going to play with my RC car and my cousins. I was pulling a ball with my RC car for my dogs to wear her out. My brother and I were playing demolition with our RC cars. I shattered one of the back wheels. My brother and I went on a few bike rides to the park. All of us rode around town. All of us went to the park, then played for a couple hours. We then went to Holdridge Park and played with every one of our cousins that came. Everyone had fun, had a blast until it ended around ten o clock. The next day we went shopping for an hour or two, it was torture. I learned to never take a girl to the mall unless you want to stay there for many hours. After that we went home my brother and I played on the trampoline I hurt ourselves

When you hear the words I am pregnant from husbands standpoint. You are over-whelmed and you think man I did it now. These are natural reactions to the news. Babies are a wonder and a blessing. They bring happiness and frustration and this is how my story goes. One that would change me forever. I found out that my wife was pregnant about six months after my wife had a miscarriage. Then that day came my son was born was amazing and change me with happiness, less sleep, and nervousness.

It was early morning, as usually my mom and step dad dropped me off at my aunt’s house, she was my babysitter at that time. During the day is was very hot in the state of Guerrero, Mexico. I was very hot and wanted to go play outside in her garden. Time passed and it was time for my snack break, my aunt called me inside to eat. I didn’t want to go inside I still wanted to play because it was so hot inside and the tree that I sat on was very fresh.

When we arrived to the beach it was a hot day so i quickly ran out of the car and sprinted to the beach to cool off. I had fun swimming and just chillin with my fam. After we were tired of being out in the hot weather we took some pictures at the beach and then left to go back to my uncle’s house. Once we got back we all took showers and got ready to go out and grab some lunch. Once we ate and took care of some clothes shopping, we headed to a different uncle’s house. Once we arrived there, I met five other aunt’s that i didn’t even know about and met like eight uncle’s that i didn’t remember but they all told me they remember me from when i was three years old. I also met some more cousins but they were all younger than me. Once it was getting dark out, the guys started to drink and started to grill while the ladies started to cook the food that needed to be cooked on top of the stove or that needed to be baked in the oven. Around nine my whole family and I started to eat around a bonfire and the adults would tell stories about me and how little I used to be. It was interesting hearing some things they remember about me but it was soon going to be midnight. At eleven something we were all inside the house just waiting for it to be midnight while drinking hot cocoa. Once the night was over I stayed up a little bit longer talking to a special friend of mine about how my visit was

house where several other families turn up. In total, there were six or seven kids my age. The parents were inside the house talking and eating food, while the kids played outside amongst each other. None of the kids are truly relevant to the story, therefore their personalities don't need much explanation. The layout of the outside was sloped down toward Lake Murray and had grass and rocks all around.

Everything was about to change, we wouldn’t order take-out on Sundays, it was a big deal, I was losing my best friend, the only father figure I have ever had so far. I watched him taking all of his stuff out of the apartment, I was getting more and more mad. Wasn’t our beautiful relationship enough to make him stay? I even blame myself I thought I had done something wrong, maybe wearing his clothes and leaving them all messy, I apologize and swear not to do it again, but it didn’t matter the decision was already made.

During my childhood waking up early in the morning was one of my favorite things,especially during the summer.I remember waking up one morning to the sound of spongebob on my T.V..Almost as soon as I opened my eyes I immediately got out of bed and ran into the kitchen to find bacon on the table.I shoved two whole peices straight into my mouth and I swear that it was some of the best I have ever had.I sat down in my wooden chairto eat more off of the table.As I finished I remember looking ouside to a bright day.The suns rays hit the dew on the grass just right to make it glisten.

Once we got in the theme park the fun had begun. There were so many rides big and small. Some of them i did'nt get to ride because i was too short and they didnt believe my age. So i was mad and ready to home because i thought it was unfair. So i decide to stay by the pool with my granny and Aunt Jackie. Which was fine with me because they gave me money to play games and to get food. I remember almost collecting fifthy dollars from them and that was alot of money to me. I listen to all the grown up gossip. They were funny until they realized i was laughing with them. So they made me go play. I finally seen my brother swimming so that was my plan in revenge i jump on him while he was under water and didnt let him until i felt like he had enough.After while it turned into a game of marco polo.

No one can’t meet a family like mine’s. My family is well diversified. Every family member plays an important role in all my family’s lives. In my family, there are four people: my father, my mother, my little brother and me. My father is one who brings money home and is also responsible for organizing and planning family trips. My mother is the one who is in charge for making meals and makes sure everyone eats at the appropriate times. My little brother is the pet of the family. He actually doesn’t have any responsibilities, for he’s the pet. I am the rock of support in my family. I always go beyond my parents’ expectations. I also support my younger cousins and little brother, by being a role model that they can look up to. Another
