Personal Narrative: Mississippi River Of My Life

Though I spent my entire life living in North Carolina I never thought of myself as a Southerner. My understanding of the Southern lifestyle was quite limited; there is an emphasis on family solidarity, and self-sufficiency with an agricultural backdrop that is part of their essence. The South is not simply a location, manners or customs it is a way of life. Hearing the childhood details of a favorite professor allowed me to envision a picture perfect life under the shade of a magnolia tree and little southern girl who grew up to be a Sandhills Community College professor, Mrs. Cole.

On September 1, 2012, I walked into my fifth grade teacher’s classroom for the first time in my life. Mrs.Cullen was standing in the front of the door with open arms ready to welcome her new fifth grade students. As I made my way to my desk and sat down next to Charlie Schutt and Quin Timmerman, I got the feeling that middle school would be a time of talking to some of my best friends and cruising through classes. As the school year progressed, and classroom seats changed, my thought of how Middle school would be changed as well. On the first day Mrs.Cullen explained our schedule, Homework detentions, and demerits. After about fifty questions, she sent us off to our first class, and the first step of our Middle School journey. The fifth grade

Wow! When we ride around on dirt roads every weekend, we always see people with nice and exciting fourwheelers or golfcarts going to the sand pit.Sometimes people will take their fourwheeler to the sand pit in Axson, even a new fourwheeler.They will go in deep water with it. If I had one I would not go in water with it, at first anyway.But in Axson now, there is water over the roads, because the Satilla River is out of the banks.The water is so much out of the banks, you can not go under the bridge at Axson.

Maria woke up and thought to herself, I need a change. Something adventurous. Maybe I’ll go to that strange lake I saw. It sure is hot today. And I think I deserve the rest since papa made me work so hard yesterday. With that in mind, she slipped on the worn ruffle dress her sister had passed on to her three years ago. Maria missed her sister, Margarita. Margarita had died many many years ago, at the young age of nine. Seeing that Maria possessed a petite figure, and that Margarita was abnormally tall, Margarita gave the young Maria the dress as a birthday gift. The story goes, Margarita and three toddlers named Juan, José, and Alejandro were playing in the dirt when their mother came up to them and yanked them as hard as she could. You see, her husband had been gone for longer and longer trips out west at a time, and only came back

We were in the car for 3hr,and at the 2hr we were driving we stopped at mcdonalds, and then we got back in the car and bought a horse.cant wait to go back next year.

It was a normal day for everyone. Sunny, sticky and a little cold, but a typical day in Tennessee. No one knew what was going to occur later in that day. Packing up, putting the suitcases in one by one, my family, my brother Declan and parents, were ready to take on yet another adventure. Declan, was playing with his blonde stringy hair, as usual, whining about the long trip ahead.

Hi I am Jason Krause and I am 12 years old and I go to nbps. I've been going to school here for 7 years and I've enjoyed it. This summer I went to Alabama for 5 weeks ! I went there with my family and I saw my moms side of the family. I found out we were going 5 minutes after I got home and we were off to the airport in less than 45 minutes. It was a crazy day! Normally we would fly to Tampa or Atlanta but this time we flew to Baltimore. I was so tired in the airport on the way there and back. When we landed in Alabama it was 10:30 pm. When we got to my uncles house it was 11:30 and my cousin Bruce was asleep because he is 7 years old. Have you ever been to Birmingham , Alabama ? The next morning we woke up and my cousin was so surprised

My head slowly angled down at the murky brown water reflecting the bright sun as It flowed downstream. “Come on you pussy”, I heard from below. From then on, and for these three words, my fate would be decided, On that day about four years ago, i would know what fear feels like, and how confidence can change your life.

After too much eating, laughing and riding all the thrilling rides, the Colorado River Fair has come to an end.

I will never forget the day that my parents told me that we were leaving our farm in Oklahoma. My brother Daniel and I had spent our entire lives so far in Oklahoma and we were unaware of the problems occurring on our farm . I had noticed that our farm was struggling because my mom and dad were always arguing, but as a child I mostly ignored it. I was only concerned with what Daniel and I were going to do for entertainment that day and not much else. My parents worked long hours on our farm while Daniel and I went to school, but then the dust storms began to hit and everything changed.

First, after high school my plan is to attend at Santa Ana college. For right now I'm still deciding on what I want study for. In the future I will find a academy I want to study for. I wanted to attend at occ but I don’t have the money to go and pay for the classes. I wanted to join culinary arts at occ but again I can’t afford it, so that’s why I rather be at sac and get free education. While being at santa ana college i'm just going for my 2 years and then join culinary arts after.

Jon abruptly came to a conclusion: I must be under the city of San Francisco. He had head stories of the great underside of the city, but no one was said to be allowed in, save construction teams and guards. Jon theorized that he must have floated down the Sacramento river after his helicopter crashed. They were near the river when he had blacked out. Or Jon was dead, but he was just ignoring that possibility for the time being. Jon looked again at the columns reaching up into the base of the city. He had to get out of here. Jon moved towards the nearest column and began to inspect it. At the base of the column, four support legs stretched out, stabilizing the contraption. Examining the column more, Jon noticed a ladder that stretched up into

On one beautiful, sunny day this past summer I was swimming with some friends on the Mad River in Vermont. It was a bluebird day and towering green mountains stretched for as far as the eye could see. I had been swimming and swinging off the rope swing for about an hour when is noticed my dog, Mahi was looking dejected in the shade. I then decided to take her for a walk. I ran up to my car fast like a cheetah and grabbed my fishing rod and Mahi’s leash.

Swish, swish went the water as my hand glided swiftly through the surface. I use and kicked as hard as I could filling like a speedboat that finally reached top speed. I could hear the cheers of my teammates shouting” Go Lauryn Go!!!” And then disaster struck, Boom. I’d hit my head against the wall, coming in a little too quick to hit the flip turn. For me, everything stopped. My head was spinning, my legs were shaking, and I was more than a little off balanced. I had never experienced anything like that before. I was always off the block with great, speed determined to win, but this time was different. There was no way I could win because by the time I regained my balance all of my competitors were already three quarters finished.However,

I was in a forest studying the weather and animals. Everything was perfect the skies were clear, flowers were blooming, the sun was brightly shining, nothing could ruin this moment. All of a sudden I spot a rainbow tail. I started to follow the creature’s rainbow tail making sure not to make any noise. The creature stopped at a pond to take a sip of water.
