Personal Narrative: My Trip To South Dakota

Looking back out of the small window, I catch a final glimpse of corn fields and lonely railroad crossings before they dip below the horizon. For my first time on a plane, the excitement of adventure meets me as I depart from the comfort of home and enter a world unknown outside of Nebraska. Seeing the world in God’s view as the landscape evolves below, I fall in love with flying. Looking down from 30,000 feet and seeing earth on such a vast scale, I realize how much there is to discover.

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

I moved to Yankton, South Dakota when I was 6. I moved from Kearney, NE. I was really excited to move into a new house and a new town. Yankton is smaller than my old town it's also farther away from all of my family. For the most part I like yankton, most of the people are really nice. Since there is nothing to do in Yankton besides shopping around town in little stores, or going to a movie, or even going to dinner, or just driving around, my favorite thing is going to the lake and the bridge. There for my favorite part is definitely the lake. I love the trails and the beaches and everything down there. It's so peaceful and beautiful it's just a great place to get away. I like my school too, I mean sure it has its ups and downs but in reality

Everyday gets harder and harder to survive. The storms are getting worse. They make my husband's farm all dry. It’s very hard to find food when we can’t grow our food either. The stock market just crashed a few years ago and everything is just getting worse. Everyone in our little town in Kansas is struggling it's not just our family. Last week the dust got so bad outside we were trapped inside our house for almost two days. The wind would be so strong and the heat would also be so bad it would burn our skin if we went outside. I know the whole town is struggling even though I haven’t been outside for a few weeks. We lost all our chickens from the wind. I wonder if anyone else has lost any of their animals too? If my family was strong enough

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.

Now when I got there after my six and a half hour drive I was already not looking forward to being there. I took my valuables and brought them straight into my room and we not into my bed. It was night time so i played night soccer with my cousin Owen. We had loads and loads of fun. For most of the days in North Dakota we just sat inside and

During the summer I went to South Dakota for a national tumbling meet. In South Dakota I also went to Mt. Rushmore, a car museum/scavenger hunt, and the tumbling meet.

Former president Theodore Roosevelt had much to say about wilderness, and what it can reveal. “There is a delight in the hardy life of the open. There is no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy and its charm.” They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For some they have a dislike for the wilderness and prefer an urban setting, while other love, live, and breath it in various degrees.

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.

My family and I went to Colorado Spring for christmas break. We packed up all of our stuff then we put it all in the car. When we got done putting all of our stuff in the car we left we got on the highway. As soon as we got on the highway I took a nap. I woke up when we were in Colorado we were almost there. I was talking to my parents until we stop to get gas. I sat in the car until my dad got done filling the car up. We drove for a little bit and we were in Colorado Springs. We drove to my Aunt's house when we got there I took my stuff in the room I stay in. My cousin came from downstairs and said “Hi ” then he went back downstairs. My aunt put on a movie to all watch together. My grandma was cooking something for all of to eat when the movies was over I went to the kitchen to eat. I went to the kitchen table to talk to my dad. When my dad got done eating We heard a knock on the door we answered it and it was on of my uncles and aunts then my cousins walked in.

“You want to go inside or just eat in the car? I usually eat in the car because so many people want to talk sports or ask about my college plans if I eat at a table. I hate the attention and feel obligated to be civil, but I must admit, it usually ruins my lunch. I think people forget that I’m just a kid trying to enjoy his senior year in high school.

Welp! Here we are Oklahoma City, I’d thought we’d never make it! From the looks of it, it looks really cool with all the big buildings and everything. “Yeah its pretty great,” says Joe. “So where should we go?” I said, “I heard that there is a museum, we can go there?” Said Joe, Ok. So we went to the museum and there was some pretty cool stuff there like colored glass and many other really cool things. After that we went to a few tacos stands and then we played in a little park, when we were done we headed to a hotel where we could eat and go to the buffet. They had fried chicken, shrimp, popcorn chicken, and a lot of really good things. When we were done eating we decided to go to the OKC where we could play on the trampoline and roller coasters.

Growing up in Montana was a truly remarkable experience. The locals in Missoula were very friendly and humble, in fact most Missoulians were willing to lend a helping hand if someone needed it. I went to high school in Victor, a small town where everyone was eccentric and closely knit like a family. We had a pizzeria that we would stop by for lunch called Cowboy Troy's. They sold the best gourmet foods I have ever had. Depending on the day they sold a variety of tasty foods such as fire baked pizzas, euros, crispy potato chips, and a dozen different flavored hot wings. Cowboy Troy's was half bar and half diner, so you could pick and choose your atmosphere if you wanted to.

I HATE snakes! I hate the way they move, I hate the way their tongues flick around. I just hate them! Why? Because bites hurt, so does being squeezed to death. I also have a passionate hatred for anything that slithers. So when we went hiking in Rock Creek one day, I almost had a heart attack. Literally.

The next day we wanted to head out early so we could make it to Colorado and have time to see some sites and visit my aunt and uncle. After we said thanks for letting us stay with my Aunt Alks and Uncle Pinakin's house, we were on our way. I wasn't really looking forward to the drive ahead because I remember how long it was the first time I had to make the trip, and it gets uncomfortable. The only thing I like when we go to Colorado is that we lose an hour. This was probably the most boring trip on our journey because most of the land we traveled was in Nebraska and it was flat and plain. There was nothing really significant about this trip until we got to Colorado. Flat land changed into mountains and country turned into city. That part of it was really interesting because it was like we could see the invisible line separating Colorado and Nebraska. It took us a little while to find my aunt in Golden, Colorado because the directions were a little hard to follow. I guess no one wanted to see anything because almost as soon as we were
