Personal Narrative: I Will Have Fun At Pinnacle

I walked silently, my converse crunching on the wet sidewalk. I zipped up my jacket and took a sip of my coffee. I slowly walked towards my school when someone's shoulder slammed in to me. My coffee flew out of my hands, the lid came of as it hit the ground, spilling all over the sidewalk. I stumbled as I tried to regain my balance. I hate this small town I thought to myself. When I returned home I arrived to both of my parents sitting at the table. I looked at them with a confused look, “Ava why don't you take a seat,” Father said “we have something to tell you.” I took a seat not saying a word just giving them a confused look. “Ava honey your father got a promotion,” Mother stated “and we are going to be moving to California!” Fireworks were going off in my head thinking of all of the new things I would get to experience.

It all started on a warm sunny day, my dad had just arrived from Michigan. He came into the house gave my siblings, my mother and me a hug and told us the big news. “We are moving to Michigan” he said. He said it so calmly as if expecting my siblings, my mother and myself to react in a good way. Immediately I started to panic, I didn’t want to leave the place I grew up in. I was only eleven years old, I didn’t know how the people in Michigan would be. Finally I spoke “ I don’t want to move dad, I love it here!” which he responded with “I’m sorry but we are going to move because we can’t afford to live here anymore” He said this so emotionless as if not knowing how this could affect me. I hardly got any sleep that night for the fact that my parents were arguing for what felt like all night, but in reality was just an hour.

So this is where my story takes off. It was just a normal fall day in November of 2011. I woke up ate cereal and said bye to my dad not knowing I would never see him again. I rode my bike to school with Zack. He wasn’t just any friend, he was my best friend we hung out every day we did everything together. Back to what I was saying it was just a regular day going to school at the end of the day my principle called my teacher and said that I was too come to the

I had a bad feeling about this school,it just didn't feel good.After my first day at school my parents picked me and took me home they looked at me and suddenly knew something was wrong.They ask was wrong and I told them”The school was alright but there lunch and breakfast was bad and had to be terminated but had a good aroma taste it was hard not to eat it”.Later that my parents made me lunch to take to school everyday and it was my favorite ham and cheese with cheetos and a granola bar.I felt like thing we're gonna get better from here on out “well food wise anyway”.I started getting really good at sports since my first year and a college principal went to one of my games and saw the talent I had. So he offered me to play on his team I thought to myself because I did not want to leave my friends and family again but my parents agreed to sign me up so I played on their college team.That's my story and how me and my family made it this

Do you ever remember being a kid and going to see Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny? That was my favorite time of the year, when Santa Claus came to town for me to tell him what I wanted for Christmas and have a picture taken with him. However, I was more skeptical about the Easter Bunny. To this day he still scares me a little bit, just the costume was a little bit much. I was still forced to sit on his lap and smile for the picture. My family took us every year to Pinnacle Bank in Imperial, Nebraska to go visit for these holidays. Pinnacle Bank has businesses set up throughout six states with more than 140 locations.

I walked in from school and I saw my mom and dad sitting at the table looking disappointed they told me the news about how we needed to move somewhere I didn't want to go.Why do we even need to go mom,please don't take this away from me please I Said.Mom said “No its for your grandmothers sake”.The short and athletic girl named Lindsay,she liked to play basketball,and she loved her friends at her old school in Calabasas.But one day her mom sat her down and said we are moving.To1`

As we walked in it was only a week before I would have to go to this school every day for a year. We went into the counselor office and everyone knew my mother but they didn’t know me and I felt the expectations of being her daughter fall onto my shoulders. The counselor Mrs. Avery started talking at what seemed like a hundred miles an hour throwing out what my options were but not giving me a lot of time to process. I started to relax though because my mother had always made the decisions and she usually chose the right one in my opinion. But then my worst nightmare in that situation happened my mom turned to me and asked me what did I want to do and that it was my choice. I had to make a decision I had about a minute to realize what would be best for me and what I was going to have to choose. I realized right then how much power choice had I realized I had to choose what I wanted and what would be the best thing for me. Mrs. Avery and my mother looked at me I realized I need to make a decision as they looked at me I decided I would become a Freshman and take all the honor class I could. As I sat there the process of high school just beginning I thought about all of my fear and doubts about my abilities but I also knew that I would fight for the grade I wanted and I would do the very best I could. As my thoughts ran through my head and I chose

To even acknowledge that they wanted me to depart to a different school, I was hesitant. However, they began to speak of how it’s all at my own pace, as well as be in-charge of my due dates. Because I knew that I wouldn't be coming back, I cried as we walked to the car. My mom asked if I was interested in trying the program, upset I shook my head. We pulled into the 'Fresh Start' schools parking lot. We didn't know what to expect when we walked in and signed up for the program, but I placed my information down on the enrollment

It wasn’t long until summer, this being my last few days at this school. I really liked this school but mama said “Oh, you poor child we must go your father has just got promoted again.” I knew that was the end of that. Mama doesn’t like when I argue so I don’t. As my papa got home I said, “How was work.” He did not respond to that though so I took it like he did not have a good day. I thought to myself I wonder did he have a good day mama said he got promoted. As I walked into my room to change into my play clothes I heard my friends yell, “Dude you coming out?” I sighed, ”Yeah.” I darted down stairs and told mama that I would be back before dusk. I ran outside and a man came up to me and said, “Listen kid I’m goanna kill you if you don’t give that hat and that watch too, OR ELSE!” I started to run and he chased me to the city and of course I fell. The man grab me by the arm and said “if you eve-I cut him off “If I ever WHAT?” He punched me in the jaw and I laughed “A girl can hit harder than that!” For my smart mouth he did again this time my loose tooth came out and I told him “do it again might make ya feel better.” I finally out of his grip and when I got home I got in the shower and after I put my pajamas on. I woke up and got ready for school. I

I had finally had enough of Anna, so i told my mom and dad what had been going on, mom said “well im proud of you and jessica for being the bigger person about all of this mess, so i will talk to your principal tomorrow morning”. I was having a normal day no jessica problems in matter in fact i have not seen her all day until… They called me down to the office as if i was in trouble, but really is was my dad picking me up for the day, because my mom had died. I was too worried about Anna, that i didn't even realize that my

You don’t know how much I love my mom. She’s always been there for me at times when I don’t feel good. She helps me go through rough times, I just don’t know how to thank her. She is a one of a kind mother who is very unique inside and very special to me. Okay now i’m going to tell you a something that was going on in 2nd grade. So I was like around seven or eight years old and these two girls were bullying me just because I was the first one in line, anyways they both send me at the end of the line and my mom immediately went to both of Sherry’s and Melissa’s parents to let them know what was going on. My mom went up to them told them to leave me alone because I never did anything wrong and that I don’t deserve to be treated

When I pass a classroom, I saw a body fly like a football against the lockers. “I’m really getting tired of your crap dude!” the jock said while power walking. Then suddenly a teacher was charging toward the two kids and grabbed the two and took them to the office. Well it’s sucks to be those guys, but unlike them, I want to do something with my life. Then when I about to enter the classroom, The principal called my name. “Gabriel could you come with me to my

Two years ago in fifth grade was a great year until one something happened, something that was not going to make the year better, but make the year worse. I was sitting in my room watching TV when mom yells from the living room, “Kandace! Can you come here please?”. I pause the show and walk out of the room and sit on the couch she looks at her phone and then at me, “ Katelynn and Andrea are moving to Arizona.” she says in a sad voice, My heart stopped. In my head, I just kept thinking It’s a joke, she is just kidding, why would they move so far away? but she wasn’t they were really moving to Arizona, and I had no idea why.

My father noticed on the caller id it was my school calling. He looked towards me then answered. The principle explained my grades were bad and needed to arrange a parent, teacher, and principal conference. After scheduling the appointment, he confirmed with my mother. She yelled “I’m going alone!! I tried to convince her that it was an error but she didn’t believe me. The following day she rushed to the school. I began to sweat. I knew my mother had a zero tolerance for anything wrong that I was doing in school. As the conference started. I was asked the first question by my principal, he said ‘’ Mackenson what is going on?’ The class stared in fear for me. I answered ‘nothing’. My mother had no time to waste. She asked my principle, “is there any errors on his report card?’’ He responded no. By the blink of an eye, my mother reached in her purse and took out a belt. I had a panic attack. I knew it was going to be the worst day off my life. I was embarrassed. She spanked me in front of everyone.my reputation had been destroyed. A couple weeks

I was not old enough to drive and would have my mom pick me up every day after school didn’t want to take too long since my mom didn’t like when I took too long. In order to try to stay on time, I took my shoes over to where they three of them were standing and started putting them on. From the looks on their faces, something wasn’t right and they didn’t utter a word until the last girl left the room. They then began to tell us that they do not want us to perform at the basketball game with the team because we were not ready. They believed we were “inconsistent with our routines” in practice and didn’t feel we would be ready for the game. Rachel proposed they would revisit the idea of us performing on Friday if we can get the second half of the dance down perfectly for the assembly but at the moment we were not going to be joining the team. When, they asked for us to stay back, I didn’t think they would deliver this kind of news to us. I tried my best to keep myself from breaking down even though I could feel my eyes burning from tears. I couldn’t speak a word and just nodded along with them. Before they let us go, Renee asked us our opinions on the situation. In my head, I wanted to tell them it wasn’t fair to pull two girls from the team performance. But all I could say was that it was okay and that i
