Personal Narrative: My Visit To Nashville, Tennessee

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

In my visit I saw the Police Department, the new Baseball Field "Dunkin Donuts" that is not in use yet, and many parking lots almost full. I did appreciate many office buildings and hotels, and also saw the Capital Community College's building. I saw High school Students walking in uniform, also students from the College, and people well dress probably from offices and having lunch at that time. The area is more work related, looks clean and has many fast food places and restaurants around. There was a bus stop full of people awaiting and boarding the public transportation. The area is work and business related and it counts with several

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.

Have you ever been to Atlanta,Georgia before?The time i went to Atlanta,Georgia was month I have ever had. I got to hangout with my cousins,family,and friends. We had so much fun with them because we did something so much fun.We went to Atlanta,Georgia to go visit people.

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

The vibe of the whole place was like the country, yet we were in the city.

Not surprisingly, nightlife in Nashville revolves around live music. The array of live performance venues in the city includes:

This year’s family vacation was one for the books. With my aunt living in Tennessee, we do not get together as often as we would like so my family decided to go to Nashville, Tennessee. When we started our trip, it was 6 a.m. and it was nothing short of fun and laughter along the way. Never having been to Tennessee before, I figured I’d enjoy the eight-hour ride of sight-seeing and laughter with my family. When we were a few miles into the trip, the mountains of Georgia were breathtaking. While I was enjoying the scenery, another thing that I found enjoyable about this trip was the conversation that I had with my family. We went on talking about life in general, all the struggles, and childhood memories that we had. We even talked about years

The size of 16.7 mi², and population of 11,580 is much bigger than some of it’s neighbors such as Nelson that is only 423 acres and has a population. It is even much larger than towns roughly the size of Glenwood with a population of 2,530, or Sauk Centre at 4,316 people. But as you get around an hour outside of Alexandria you find cities around the same size or even bigger such as Willmar, Fergus Falls, Saint Cloud… etc. Alexandria plays sports against most of these other towns, which means every-one in the town has a pretty good mental map of where they are. Alexandria is not huge, but it is pretty powerful. Many of the industries ship goods all around the world. Although most people think that almost all the tourism would come from other states, Alexandria gets a lot of it’s tourists from right here in Minnesota. Many people from the twin cities come down in the summer for a weekend of two to just get a nice vacation. Many actually own a vacation home or cabin on one of the lakes on the chain. The same is for the opposite how-ever, many people that live in Alexandria will go spend a day or two in the cities shopping in the larger malls, or going to a major league sports event. They kind of go nice together and are only a two hour drive apart.

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.

to visit your neighbor can be rewarding. On the flip side, city life breeds a more dangerous lifestyle and leaves no chance for getting to know your fellow townsfolk.

n mid May of 2010 me and my mother lived in Nashville, Tennessee and in those couple of days, May 1 and 2, 2010 were the scariest days I have ever experienced.So scary because om those few days I spent a large amount of it either alone or displaced and middle Tennessee received nearly 14 inches of rain. A record that made the previous of only 6.68 inches that was set back September of 1979 look like one great day. Also before before May of 2010 Nashville 's record rainfall in a month was 11.04 inches, set back in 1983. It is amazing that a month's record was broke in two days. Exactly why us locals call it the "1000 year flood". The Cumberland river , the main river that runs through downtown Nashville crested at 62.58 ft. Parts of I-40, I-24, and I-65 were flooded. Ten people died in my city alone. Twenty- two in Tennessee altogether.

Small town people are so used to everything being so far apart that going into a city may make them feel crowded or claustrophobic. A good thing about small towns are the roads, the roads in city are crammed with cars and tight spaces that you have to fit your car in, but in small town vehicular space is very abundant. There are more cons than pros with small towns though, because the people in them are behind with the world. The worst thing about living in a small town is that a lot of people are closed minded, the quote “Open your mind before your mouth” is implied here. As previously stated people in small towns really have an issue with change and if anything is threatened to be changed they protest like savages.

It really shocks me to be an outsider to this city life, although many argue that this is not the city at all. I have to disagree, when you come from a town of about two thousand people, this place is a huge booming metropolis to me, filled with late-night hang-outs, trendy coffee shops, and malls within five minutes from your house. I usually drive anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour to get anywhere I can buy anything, besides gas, which my town only has one place for.
