Personal Narrative: My Trip To The Oregon Coast

Leaving my home in Hawaii and moving to Oregon was one of the hardest things for me to do. Maybe I would have felt better about it if my parents had asked me for my opinion before picking up our lives and moving to some place I had never even heard of before. I know I shouldn’t have cared that much. After all, I was only a 1st grader and even now my parents don’t consider how I’d feel before making decisions, so why would they then? At the end of 2007, I said goodbye to my best friends for the last time and left for Oregon.

My trip to the Grand Canyon was the best experience I ever had so far in my life. My grandparents from Korea came along with us. Even though I saw them last year it was still an enjoyable moment that I had. Grand Canyon is located in Arizona so what our family did was fly to Las Vegas early in the morning and arrive in Nevada around 9 o’clock am. Driving to Grand Canyon was also five hours with heavy traffic. Driving and stopping every hour was hard to do but at the end it was all worth it. It was good that I had couple electronic devices and my family to keep me in company.

Me and my family decided to move to Oregon all the way from New England I decided to keep a journal for the adventure we have to pack before we leave though my 18 year old son Bernard told us to bring his xylophone and I Charles Marvin Ives wanted to bring an anvil in case I need to fix or make anything with metal or use our spare parts we brought even though I have no experience as a blacksmith because I'm a farmer. My wife Samantha Packed the bacon, salt, and whiskey and we all had to lift the water keg. I decided to bring my shovels and hammer and some salt for the bacon. We're bringing pots and other cooking utensils as well. My oldest son, Carl who's 20 years old thought it was a good idea to bring a plow. We will also need some firewood

When i went Destin, Florida. I went to Florida this summer after school was out . We went with my sisters best friend, and my best friend’s family. We drove from Arkansas all the way to Destin, Florida. The day we got there we went straight to the beach! It was the first time I had ever seen the ocean! The following day we decided to go down to the smoothie shack and get a smoothie then swim in the pool. The grown ups went to the beach while we were at the pool.

Another great memory I had was when I went to Myrtle Beach with my mom, grandma, and older brother Vincent. We stayed in a horrible motel it stunk, had bugs, and a small shower but we made the best of it. One day while we was there we were walking on the pier and this disabled man in a wheelchair was fishing and caught a baby shark and he stopped me to show me what he had caught, and he asked me if I did not mind would I throw the shark back in the water and i looked at him like he was crazy and he told me it was okay to pick it the shark up as long and I did not touch near his mouth, so I go

When I was one, I couldn't do half the amount of activities and operations I could do today. This is how I've grown to eleven and predictions on what it will be like in ten years.

Entering Cal State Channel Islands was a momentous victory when it came to my acceptance. As a matter of fact, I sense I was going to improve my writing skills and be out with the old traditional habits taught to me in high school. My writing experience was identical to a metaphoric quote, “kill two birds with one stone.” The stone symbolize when I abolished the five sentence per paragraph policy. The two birds represented writing techniques and understanding how to express myself onto a paper. Unfortunately, the only English classes I have ever taken in my higher education were English 102 and English 103. Consequently, from what I can recall, I was intellectually and writing constantly about my opinions based on certain topics. When it came

James has decided that he is sick of not having enough farmland and that we will start moving our family west to Oregon. We have been farming so close to people, they have basically been on our property. He heard that when we go to Oregon we get 640 acres of land when we start our new life, as long as we have a house built and farming started after a year of being there. After one short year of Matthew getting to know his grandparents and Hope only for three, we are sorrowfully saying that we will never be able to live with them again. My in-laws, James’ parents, already traveled and have sent back letters saying that their wagon train had a mass of hardships along the way, but that Oregon is beautiful and it is really spacious for farming.

Moving to Oregon where it's always wet and cold, (F/N) who is sixteen is trying to adapt the changes in her life. Being the awkward girl that she is end up meeting new people, but who's to say that they will be there friend. She soon faces many challenges that causes not only herself but the people she cares about to break. A mysterious stranger catches her crying through her window and starts leaving notes on his window for her to read. Who is this stranger?

Moving to Oregon was quite the adventure for me. The difference between Korea and Oregon was enough to baffle my young curious mind. From language to scenery, the difference made Oregon all the more fascinating. My earliest memory can be traced back to a car ride on our way to a new home. The crispy dry autumn air flowing through my hair as I stick my head out the window. The crunch of the dead leaves as the car drives on. The crisp autumn air steeps in my lungs as I breathe in the fresh air. Smells of fresh pine wafts around the tree-dense area, a big difference between the polluted air of my birthplace. Once we arrived at our house, I’m was taken back by the sight. Unlike our cramped apartment in Korea, the scene that was in front of me left

My dad made awful jokes that somehow made us laugh, and we were always in a good mood. Another great memory we all made together was when we saw Arnold Schwarzenegger in our hotel. He was staying in the same hotel, and we saw him more than once during that week. We also found out Law and Order: SVU was filming there season premiere in a part of the hotel. California is definitely my family’s home away from home, and we experience so many great things when we visit there.

Imagine a place where you can sit on the beach as the waves roll in; the smell of the sea and fresh fish cooking in the distance at a nearby restaurant. A place where you can experience a thrill of blasting over the sand dunes at high speeds in a buggy, visit aquariums, and see wildlife up close. Imagine a place of relaxation, watching the whales migrate across the ocean. A place like this can only be one of a kind, the Oregon coast. The Oregon coast would be a great place to spend a vacation, it’s inexpensive and relaxing. So how much would it cost to go to the Oregon coast? What kinds of attractions would one be able to see? Is there stuff for the kids to do as well as adults? What kind of food do you get to eat when you go to the

I am a pioneer traveling west along the Oregon Trail facing strenuous challenges along with some success. Although my successes were somewhat beneficial, I cannot express the harsh journey I had to endure through. First of all, I had to sell my land just to gather supplies that I would need along the journey. On the journey, we even lost some of the supplies, making my sacrifice useless. The difficulty before the trip was hard, but what came after that and in the journey was dreadful. One major challenge during the journey was the climate. We would face through thunderstorms, hailstorms, and cold mountain nights. The climate had such a huge impact that many people even died. The severity of the weather was one of the struggles we had to encounter.

The things we did in Hawaii where unforgetable. The reason I said that is I got to spend amazing quality time with my family and see another beautiful part of the world. After we landed we were exhausted so all we did was play down by the ocean. Day 2 we went surfing and rode the waves like pro it was a lot of fun and I got told I was the best surfer which I already new. We also walking around and shopped at the strip malls along the way back to our condo. Then the 3 day we went ziplining which at first I’ll admit I was afraid of doing but it was cool to go ziplining through the forest at 4,000 ft above the ground. Then we went rappelling down waterfalls and got to land in the mouth of three different waterfalls and that was scary and fun at

As a child, people will always remember certain destinations that stick with them that made a good impression. I have a place that not only made a good impression, it changed me. It made me think off all the things in life people take for granted; places, people, activates. This place brought all though special things in life to one place where I can enjoy them all at the same time. The Oregon coast. Traveling there, as a kid was always special. Waking up early in the morning and driving the long trip there, going through forests, valleys, and cities.
