Personal Narrative: My Trip To Parris Island, South Carolina

I grew up in Greenville South Carolina. Growing up in the south, I was always around people who are more traditional in viewpoints, especially when surrounding the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual/Transgender, Questioning, and more community. I went to a high school where no one hesitated to throw around extremely derogatory terms. I had friends who had expressed their feelings of not fitting into their biological sex, I felt bad for them because they lived in fear of people finding out and what their reactions might be. They constantly feared for their safety.

This summer me and my family went to awesome South Carolina! It was a hectic ride on the way there with my two little brothers fighting in the back and we had to be in the car for 15 hours. When we got there we ate at a really cool restaurant they had people on stilts and they had magicians that did magic tricks and gave out balloons but they made things out of the balloon. We went to the beach every day it was the Atlantic Ocean and it was hot and it was very nice out there! My family and I had a great time in South Carolina this year it was a really fun and great experience!

Sight and hearing are just two of our five senses. Losing only one of them would be awful. How would you react if you were told that you had three days left to see and hear? The problem is that nobody truly appreciates what they have until it’s gone. “Sometimes the best way to appreciate something is to be without it for a while,” -Unknown.

I is for In South Carolina. Last summer me and my family went on vacation to myrtle South Carolina. It was a lot of fun we for to see the ocean for the second time. It took us 19 hours to get there. We stopped at some cool places on the way there. One place we stopped at was a cave it was a 2 mile walk for there through the cave and back. Once we got to Myrtle beach we took some of our stuff Into the hotel. Then my mom, brother, dad and got our passes to go out on the pier. We first went out onto the pier and then we went down to the ocean. We spent all day there and then we ate at the restaurant on the pier entrance.

The first thing I did this summer was my family and I went to Myrtle beach South Carolina. The first thing we did there were we went to this restaurant called River Side. Next we had to wait for my aunt to get there so we can get our apartment. Once my cousins and aunt got there we got our room key so we got into our apartment. Then we went to unpack all the cars and decided what room each person someone would sleep in. After that we went to eat lunch and we almost got lost. The next night we went to a boardwalk right by the hotel. And then on Wednesday we went back with our cousins this time and found a store called the stupid factory. It had funny shirts in there and stuffed animals. On Thursday it was 100 degrees,

Today, we still turn to water for a sense of calm and clarity. For me, nature can be really therapeutic and smoothing in order for me to focus on different tasks. In fact, I am doing this assignment while I am at my lake house, Oconee. One of the experiences that I am about to share about, took place in Balm Beach Florida, just last year. Something about the ocean that brought me sense of calmness and relaxation in order for me to finish my last day of my online classes at GPC.

The 6th grade school year got out about a month ago. It was about the time that I started preparing for my annual trip to North Carolina to visit almost all of my family. Only my Mom, my two sisters and I were able to go, my dad couldn’t come with us because he had to work. He works at the college and online, so, he could’ve came but my grandparents house might as well have had no internet, it couldn’t load anything! It was going to be my first time flying and of course I was a little scared and I was thinking that there is a possibility that we might crash, but, to be honest, I was more excited than scared to fly.

Have you ever went on a vacation, birthday, special event, or somewhere fun? Well I have! I had a blast at South Carolina.

In the summer of June 2014,I woke up at 4:30 Thursday morning and got ready, packed our suit cases in the trunk of my car. Then I woke up my 4 daughters and they got ready really quick. Funny how for school they drag to get up from their bed and get dressed. But that day they didn't even hesitate to get up because they knew we were on vacation. Me and my girls were really excited to take our first road trip to the beautiful beach of South Padre Island . Of course it is gonna be a long drive but we were excited because we will be sight seeing and singing along to the radio. My family lives about 35 minutes from the beach, in a little town not to far. So when we all got in the car ,I drove to a gas station to fill up my car with gas for our trip and to grab a strong cup of coffee with hazelnut creamers.

Last week, Jimmy made an appointment with me and we planned to board the cruise ship to Coney Island on Saturday evening. When I finished my intensive work in the store, I went back home in a hurry and replaced the long pleated skirt into that evening gown. Then, I checked my pocket watch, I found it was time to leave. I went out of the house in a rush to make sure arrived there on time.

I went on a trip to North Carolina with my aunt so I made a playlist for the drive its about 8 hours away. She didn't really like my playlist, but that's okay, I did.

It was a very big step in faith to leave my beloved family and the church ministry of Elim, but I'm glad I did. God needs my help and I need to help God. The trip was long with a few unexpected transfers on the bus. I couldn't get much sleep although I had lots of space on the bus. But I did use my time wisely by listening to praise music and praying a lot.

The first time i went to Winnsboro South Carolina was for the 2015 spartan race. When the whole trip started it was okay until we got to the hotel. When we got to the hotel it was like 2 in the morning and we tried to get our room hotel room and they told us we didn’t have a room under our name. At that time it was really cold outside and we had no other choice but to sleep in the car.

I asked my grandmother to carry me to visit Georgia Southern during the summer between my junior and senior year in high school. My aunt is a graduate of Georgia Southern and two of cousins is currently enrolled as a student. It was my first time to see the campus and I fell in love with Georgia Southern. I enjoyed the spirit and the feel of the campus. The facilities were spectacular and the faculty and staff were very friendly and helpful. I was able to see my cousin and eat lunch with him and some of the other students. I knew after my visit that I want to be a member of the eagle nation. I want to experience life as a Georgia Southern student and make it my college home for the next four years. It was a kinship that students, faculty and

Every summer my whole family goes to Block Island, Rhode Island for summer vacation but this past summer was the last time that I would end up going there so I had to make the most of it. Most of the time it was always fun, but the past few years it started to get stale because it was always the same thing every year. I would get there go to the beach and go into town for about two weeks every year. But this past summer I realized how I was privileged to be able to go somewhere every year of my entire life for two weeks. I also realized how to make the most of my time in places that I may not want to be or places that I might just not be enjoying.
