Personal Narrative: My Road Trip To South Dakota

The worst part of the trip was the driving. I was so bored I almost fell asleep. My parents were trying to cheer me up with games and other things. We played run-on sentence and was trying to see who could hold their breath longer. I couldn’t play on my phone because I would get carsick fast. We finally got there at around 6:30. I got out of the car jumping up and down. We had to check in with the hotel: Holiday Inn. After we got in

In the Summer of 2015 when i was just 10 years old, my family had planned a camping trip to Arkansas. Being young and growing up in Tulsa i was always near my house. It was potentially dangerous to leave the house a night in my old neighborhood, but only now do i realize it. Back then i was safe and secluded, and i liked it that way. However i was up to go anywhere with my family, so i packed my favorite things and prepared for the long drive.

In this personal narrative will be telling you all about the struggles of moving from Box Elder South Dakota to Dupree South Dakota.

When we were leaving to Maryland, I was sad to leave my dog but we had no choice. Our trip to Maryland was about 12 hours long but we took about 14 or 15 hours. We left at 3 in the afternoon, and we did get lost a few times but we had a GPs. We passed by Ohio and it was so long. We also passed by Columbus and it was beautiful. We passed by a lot of cities. When we were in West Virginia my dad almost ran over a drunk man and he even looked to see if there were any cars but he just walked! The ride was so long but my brother and I couldn't sleep, all 4 of us pulled an all nighter.

We never drove farther west than Iowa. Going to Wyoming was something my brothers and I were looking forward too. Talking about all the activities we will be doing and places we will be stopping at made us more excited. It got me wishing we were going that day, but I knew we had to wait a couple a weeks. Waiting was the worst part of the trip. I could not focus on anything besides getting ready for the trip. As those long weeks came by we finally were packed to go. It was 4 a.m. and my parents were packing the car and telling us to bring everything out. We decided to take the minivan, so there was plenty of space. My older brother always got the back seats to himself so he had his bags back there with him. My

The town is small and the roads are worn, but Chancellor South Dakota is where my childhood happened. Chancellor is a town with 252 people and everyone knows just the right everyone. The town has everything a Midwest small town has: a local diner, gas station, casino, two churches, Veteran memorial, and a wonderful, little park. From when I lived here from when was born till middle school. The memories I made in this town where fun and childish, but each one left something in my mind.

Yankton, South Dakota. The place where the world competition for archery commenced and concluded. As I disembarked at South Dakota, I wondered why the World Archery Association held the biggest youth archery competition at this ghastly venue. Blegh. The dung of cows and the fresh scent of the earth fused together was horrendous. To make things worse, the airport was humid, outside was even more humid. Everywhere I went, humid.

Learning happens in many forms. Teachers lecture and pastors preach. However, the lessons that impact me the most are not the ones that are told. They are the lessons taught through experience. Last summer I had the opportunity to travel with my youth group to South Dakota for a week-long mission trip.

Two years ago I went to summer camp with my boy scout troop 1517 to Camp Alexander , in Colorado Springs,Colorado . I was able to go to the high adventure camp which included backpacking in the Colorado mountains for six days and then hike to the top of pikes peak. I didn’t realize that the air is thinner up in the mountains and I haven't gone on a hike in a while so everyday I was tired and worn out.

The summer of my junior year was a busy but memorable one. I met new people and made memories I will not forget. I stayed busy by going to Sioux Falls for a friend’s surgery, working, and playing sports.

Dear Mom and Dad, After our first trip to Oklahoma you two immediatley fell in love with the animals, how much space there was, and the oppertunities. On the long thousand mile ride back by car, you both talked and talked about wanting to move to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Us three kids didn't know weather to be okay with that or to be sad. our entire family is in Arizona;we all knew was we were going to start knew lives. In 2014 we the letter from carver right as we were heading out the to door to go get groceries, mom opened the letter first looking in shock she gave it to me; I read it as fast as I could to get it over with. I don't know what happened; but there ws screaming, hugging, and Monze asking "Mom did she get in? Mom!" Getting accepted was

About a month ago I graduate at Jensen Gymnasium Västerås in Sweden. I had a thought of a road trip in the U.S, so I talked to my friend Elisabeth, who lives in Texas. I asked her if she wanted to go on a road trip with me and she said yes.

Have you ever had to travel for 9.5 hours or more to a destination you've been dying to go to? Sadly I have, and once we arrived in Texas it was all worth the lengthy car drive. While my family and I were driving to Texas my brother had to go to the bathroom every five minutes it seemed like. My family and I did so many fun things in Texas with my grandparents. Unluckily there were also some tragic events that happened. The vacation was as fun as a great trip.

I go with my dad to pick out snacks and drinks for everyone, I was so tired because I had stayed up all night the night before, I was just too excited to sleep. I thought "maybe I'll sleep in the car, it will make the drive go by faster!" That didn't end up happening. We got all situated again and went on our way. It was only about 4 A.M so it was still dark outside. My parents had never been in a car that used radio from sattelites, they had fun listening to their favorite music the whole way there. Me and my sister listened to one of our favorite bands which we'd be seeing and meeting down there at San Diego Warped Tour 2015, we probably annoyed everyone in the car by singing so

It all started on a sunday evening in Germantown, Tennessee in the Smith’s residence. The Smith family was having a nice family dinner when Ethan Smith the father of two 13 year old boys put out the idea of going on a vacation. Ethan said to the boys, “You know your mother and I have been thinking and we have decided to go Colorado and rent a cabin next week.” The two boys were wondering why they weren’t going down to florida as they have done for the past 9 years in a row. So Jimmy asked that question to his parents, “Dad why aren’t we going down to Florida this year.” Ethan replied, “Well son we have done that to many years in a row and I want something new. Jimmy and Cooper our flight leaves tomorrow so you both better start packing.” Jimmy
