Personal Narrative: Quantum Of The Seas

The wet tiles that were beneath my feet felt cold, and moist. The locker room was filled with the sound of scalding water slapping the tile floor harshly. The room felt hot and humid like a summer day in Florida. I could feel my anxiety burning within me, in the same way a fire burns down a forest. It grows profusely worse as the second hand on the clock above my locker ticks away. I quickly changed into my swim trunks, and crept into the swimming area with fear and anticipation. I tiptoed my way down the stairs that led into the pool. I could feel the brisk water slowly creep up my leg as I forced myself deeper and deeper. I was on my way to my mother who was going to try and teach me how to do a back float. I remember tipping

It was sometime around 6:00 p.m. on a Thursday night in the middle of January 2016. There was a swim meet going on and it was just about to start. The teams were warming up and getting ready for the meet that was due to start in the coming hour. I was warmed up and concentrating on the race listening to music in my newly acquired platinum studio beats. The music was loud and the nerves were setting as I walked into the locker room with my friend and teammate. As we passed I said good luck to our teammate who I was racing against in the 200 free style. Then out of know were he pulled my friend to the side and whispered something in his ear. I didn’t hear what was said as I had continued to walk. My friend came over to me and I asked what he had said and he told me. He told me

Hours after driving in the region of the Panama City Beach strip, I decided that we should go back home. Since my friend drove the largest part around the strip, he let all the driving to me. It was around 1:30 am. I was heavy-eyed, but not sleepy enough in order to impair my driving skills. My friend was guiding me the way home since I was not as familiar with it as he was, but some how due to the darkness of the night, I passed the street that I was supposed to turn, and it lead us to about 20 minutes off the schedule we had planned.

Sea or Xavier? That was the question that I was losing sleep over in eighth grade. At the time, it was the biggest decision of my life, the decision that would decide not only my home for the next four years, but the future. Thinking back, I wasn’t simply deciding between two schools. St. Joseph by the Sea High School was only a couple minutes from my house and all my friends were planning on attending. I knew that I would be happy at Sea as it was the comfortable option. Xavier, on the other hand, was very different. Xavier is in Manhattan, a whole new world for a young boy from Staten Island. I would be the only student from my elementary school attending and I knew that the curriculum would be much more rigorous. Xavier was in no way, the

At the end of the day Reef got into Franks truck and head off to the rehab center to say goodbye to Leeza. Leeza hadn’t been the first one Reef had to say goodbye to, Alex left the home to go be with his parents, Scar off to university with the scholar ship she received after graduating high school, Reef had been proud of Scar, she was smarter than the others and proved it,

Once upon a time i was leaving my house and going to pool.Then Just when we got there,i saw my friend do a front flip.The waves were going fast for 5 seconds,but then they went back slowly changing back to normal.Then i started to think about something.I was going to test how the waves Change by going faster and slower.So i told my friend to do 5 front flips,then the waves went faster like usuall.After that i told my other friend that came to the pool To jump and he was 230 pounds.My other friend was only 125 pounds.So when my friend jumped into the pool the waves went 10x faster thanmy other friends did.And so i search it up what kind of waves goes fast and they're called Kinetic Waves,The kinetic energy of objects with mass is dependent upon

“Where am I? What’s happening?” I thought to myself. “What’s going on?” It was late summer, and I was just coming out of my egg. After I hatched, I looked around in awe as I saw the world for the first time. I saw the bright green seaweed I was surrounded by. I saw the scintillating water as it was warmed by the sun. I saw various schools of fish swim

I got there, it was a three hour drive there so I was ready to get in the water. I got into my swimsuit, I got out of the RV and walked over to the water and jumped in. The water is so cold it's crazy. I started swimming around until I saw the devil's ear(it's a 30 foot cave). I looked inside the cavern and was like I gonna touch the bottom.

At the finding Nemo ride nothing was out of the ordinary, except Nemo was missing! There was a clown fish that Disney put in a fish tank, they called it Nemo for the kids, and now it’s gone. We need to dO better at “finding Nemo”!

A deep sickening feeling started rushing through me. The sky was blue but everything felt so dark. It was the feeling of knowing, knowing this is the last time, the very last time will see my dog’s sweet face again.

The tight quarters back there, the low ceiling broken by a skylight, and the glossy wood paneling made me feel as if I were eating in the dining cabin of a large but not excessively luxurious sailboat. And the man at the table next to mine couldn’t seem to find his sea legs.

I know what you are all thinking (fingers moving) You may know me by a couple of different names, Ursula or the Sea Witch. I don’t live in the sort of sea you think, full of coral, sea folk and waters filled with a blue radiance from the sun above. No I live in an underground land filled with treacherous whirlpools. See I use to live in the coral, swimming and playing along until those popular and likeable mermaids came along and kicked me out. So, since then every sea creature and mermaid, especially the Sea King, has been accusing me of lying, tricking, cursing and murder. And with the disappearance of the little mermaid. How can I be accused of such crimes when I was providing a service requested by your beautiful little mermaid? I am certain that I am not guilty for doing all of these terrible thing.

13 years. It has been 13 years since I first plunged into the pool to begin my first lesson. I was small, skinny, and shy at the time, not willing to talk to people. I had tried other sports; baseball, soccer, basketball, but I found those to difficult. My dad first brought me to a pool, to splash around in the play area. But I soon found myself wanting to go the deeper parts where the whirlpool and the lazy river were. So I began group lessons on the basics on how to swim, most of the other participants were older than me so I did not make conversation with them. After I finished a couple of lessons and learned how to swim the most basic two strokes; freestyle and breaststroke, I joined a summer team, the Bradley Farm Wave. I was not very

Fine parlor suites on the ship consisted of a sitting room, two bedrooms, two wardrobe rooms, private bath, and a lavatory.
