Personal Narrative: My Trip To Nashville

During September the year 2014, my family and I took a 2 day trip to Dollywood. I was just eight years old at the time. That drive took us 12 long hours long because of car problems. Finally at 10 o'clock at night, we sluggishly dragged our extremely tired selves into the comfort of our soft beds in the hotel. The next morning, we drove over to the park and just past the entrance was a special place where you can get measured and given a color coded bracelet that would let you and others know what rides you were tall enough to ride. I was so excited because I was finally tall enough to get an orange bracelet, which meant I could ride most of the rides. After riding the smaller rides with my younger siblings, my mom wanted to take me on a

Have you ever expected an unfavorable outcome from an experience, yet were shocked with the best? Nashville, Tennessee is the city where I was able to realize that I have the potential to do great things with my life. It was the middle of June at the 2016 HOSA International Leadership Conference, and I was sixteen years old. At this time, I had been dealing with anxiety and depression for so long that I never thought I would be able to make an accomplishment that meant something to others and myself. This trip helped me realize that I am capable of more than I think.

I feel that it was the best time of my life. It was the best time of my life because i got to hang with my family,friends,and cousins. I feel like we should

Well the week of our trip to Memphis Tennessee had finally arrived ! My colleagues Beverly,

We also had the chance to do some shopping before leaving and to me, that was the highlight of my trip. The Nashville mall was so big it man little Augusta, Ga mall look like a broom closet. In the mall I stopped at a shoe store, where I bought some sandals I had been wanting for the longest but could never find in the mall at home. The trip was very rewarding to me because I got a chance to spend quality time with a part of my family that I only get the chance to see during the Holidays. The trip brought a lifetime of memories that I will never forget. We ended our trip with a birthday celebration for my two nieces whose birthdays were a few days apart. The colorful pink party for the girls included; crown shaped cake, ice-cream, and lots of smiles from the two birthday girls. Furthermore, the three-day trip was over and it was back to the hotel to pack for the drive home. The drive home needless to say was not very exciting. I would have loved to stay in Nashville visiting my aunt for a few more days I was happy to be home. My family does not get together that often, we are a happy family but we also have our differences like any other

The greasy scent of cheap burgers and fries wafted into the car as we pulled into the parking lot of a Wendy’s, right in the heart of who-knows-where, East Tennessee. I couldn’t contain my excitement as I rushed my 12-year-old self out of the minivan and into the palace of grease. Clad in ratty sweatpants and a t-shirt with my hair pressed down from my prolonged use of headphones, it was evident that I spent long hours sitting in a car, asking “if we’re there yet” too many times to count. In this moment, however, carving up Snowshoe Mountain on my snowboard didn’t seem as exciting as the machine that stood across the room. Standing tall, shiny, and red, the Coca-Cola Freestyle soda fountains were in the early stages of being released, and

You know what is really fun... doing what I did this summer! What I did this summer is go to Tennessee cabins. Tennessee cabins is a huge cabin of choice you stay in for as many nights as you book. The Tennessee cabin I went to was called Majestic springs. Majestics springs had a four jacuzzi baths ,and a hot tub.

I grew up listening to country music since my mother loved it so much. It was her favorite thing to listen to when we would go on long road trips with my father and younger brother throughout the years. Unfortunately, since I listened to it so much, I starting disliking it when I became a teenager. I started believing that country music was only for “older” people. I also thought it was boring and wasn’t the “cool type of music” teenagers are supposed to listen to. I eventually grew out of that stage and started listening to country music again a few years later. The reason I started listening to it again was because of one amazing country artist. My best friend invited me to a Luke Bryan concert in Las Vegas in 2010. At first I was iffy about it since I wasn’t a huge country music fan like her, but then I watched some videos of Luke’s performances and he seemed like a very talented artist. I decided to give it a shot and go. What I thought was going to be an average concert, turned out to be the best concert of my life! Luke put on an amazing performance and touched my heart in so many ways. I pictured

During summer break in august I went there with my grandma.some people might get a plane vasue the trip is so long but for us we drove down.It took us 3 to 4 days to finally get to where we needed to be going.It takes along time to get there only cause from driving so long you will need to rest so we went to a hotel every night and then we got something to eat for breakfast and dinner.

I wanted to journey to Joplin the day after the tornado hit, after I learned my mother was dead. However, my Aunt Kathy urged me to delay. She said the city was in chaos and there was little I could do until officials identified my mother’s remains. Like many family members, we were not allowed into the morgue to make a visual identification. On Tuesday, my family called to ask by my mother’s dentist in Illinois, before he moved to Joplin. They requested dental records, but they were no help, to my family’s frustration. By Thursday, the Red Cross began calling me to begin their outreach to families experiencing a loss, but the identification was still pending. Aunt Kathy provided a DNA sample, but even that proved inconclusive. The genetic lottery of inheritance can cause sibling to have very different sets of DNA. For the state to make an accurate identification, they needed a much more conclusive match. On Friday, officials asked me to come to Joplin and provide DNA which would be much more useful. That Sunday, I flew to Fayetteville, Arkansas where my mother’s cousin Kim would drive me to

experience for me. It was far different from a rock concert held in some big

I never conceptualized I would be sleeping out in the streets of New York City. Living in the city with 8million other very diverse and different people, we see almost anything here. It's almost hard to surprise New Yorkers when we think we have seen it all. Some people might call me crazy, but I call it dedication. If I was told a year ago that I would be camping out on the streets to see my favorite band, I would not have even entertained the thought. But there I was on that scorching August afternoon, a day before I would actually see my idols on Good Morning America. I wanted to do it for the experience, not because I was just another crazy fangirl. Once I arrived at central park, the energy was buzzing. It was a place where everyone

Going to a concert is an experience incomparable to any other. Here it is, the moment, every concert goer has been waiting for, the artist coming onto the stage. Hearts begin to race as the music builds each fleeting second before the artist comes out. Smoke fills the dark stage illuminated by the band's tour video playing. Then, in the center of the stage, doors begin to open revealing four singing boys. Crying and screaming

On Saturday, June 22, 2015 Lambeau stadium in Green Bay, Wisconsin welcomed Jason Aldean and Kenny Chesney. Both of them are going to their own different tour; Chesney The Big Revival and Aldean Burnin’ It Down Tour into a co-headlining night. Not having been to many concerts, this was my first country concert and it got pretty wild. Along with the amazing performances, with the powerful effect their songs had on the audiences there was a lot more drama than expected. When the concert had come to a close there were over 25 arrests and kicked out over 100 other people. This concert definitely left its mark, but might have not been for the best reason. Other than the drama over the packed in audiences this concert was truly memorable.

Kanye’s concerts are one of a kind, no one can compete. Ever since Graduation, he has upped the ante. His Glow in the Dark Tour saw him talking to spaceships. The Watch the Throne tour saw him partnering with Jay-Z to rap on top of LCD screen cubes. The Yeezus Tour was crazy because he rapped in bejeweled masks for two hours straight surrounded by mountains and volcanoes, he even had conversations with Jesus. Me describing a Kanye West show is pointless. You have to experience his concerts to truly see how he has pushed the art of a live
