Personal Narrative: Sedimentary Life

Fighting with things, those twisty things in the trees. Then I was frightened and I woke up. And I was outside the shelter by myself and I saw something moving in the trees.

 This huracan happened August 5, 2017 was a huracane catastrophic that did too danger, leaving a they peoples without your home. This huracane was of category 5, was hard, leaving also with too sickness. I stayed in my house with my family. We watched the news in the tv about of the huracane. we also watched movies, we ate. My family and me stayed we scared the past week about of these hurcane.  Thank you for God we were fine.

It was a bright day in Key Largo when I first arrived in Ocean Reef during the summer. Seeing the beige guard gate with green palm trees surrounding it at the entrance of this prestigious club reminded me of all the good times I have had there. My mom swiped our membership card and speeded off into the club with excitement. The car, speeding, turning, and almost crashing had made it to the golf cart rental station in one piece, where we rented a cart. This cart was freedom. Finally, I could embark on my journey and meet up with friends I had not seen in what felt like months. My cart made it to the “Raw Bar,” a restaurant known to all the club members at Ocean Reef. Before I got off my cart, I could already smell the fresh and salty tuna sashimi

Growing up in a small, close-knit town was a great experience. I was lucky enough to live on a block with many other kids, so there was always something going on. We would often gather in the cul-de-sac across the street for a game of soccer during the day or manhunt at night. In the winter, we would head down to the duck pond and spend our afternoons sledding down the hills or ice skating on the frozen pond. Hot summer days were spent splashing around the community pool. A select few would brave the high dive while the others looked up in amazement from below. Then we would hear a lifeguard announce, "Adult swim!" over the loud speaker which was our cue to hop out of the pool and head over to the snack bar. The thin crust pizzas were

When I discovered the creature I was rock climbing to the top of one of the world's tallest mountains, Mt.

When all the fishing poles were loaded up and the the tack box was all organized, we piled in the little truck. The whole way there grandpa was telling me and my friend Reed all about the biggest fish he had caught in his life.

After I got all my bags loaded and got in the car I almost instantly fell asleep when I finally woke up we were at the west entrance to Yellowstone and I was so excited but, soon, that was all gonna change.

Up next……Glaciers and lakes! I’ll rent a car for the four-day trip in the Rocky Mountains. For traveling the Rockies, driving by ourselves would be the best because we can frequently make short stops anywhere we like for a drink, or to see the views along the road, explore deeply into the trails. Or just simply hanging out will already be nice enough. Mother Nature’s masterpiece will take our breath away. The lakes are so pure just like priceless jewels that drive away all my headaches and bring back the piece of quietness to my mindLike glaciers taking millions of years to fill a lake, my parents have taken all of their efforts to bring me up from an innocent child to a man. I love the names Victoria Glacier and Lake Louise. Victoria Glacier

I stood on the paddle board looking around the lake. I knew my victory would be short lived. I felt a rock and then a push. I was no longer King of the hill. We all took turns being king of the hill, I was smiling all day long. I knew this would be a day to remember.

I wanted to sing something to reflect how I was feeling at that moment - lost, insecure, and defeated. At the last minute my teacher found a karaoke track to Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb” for me and I walked out onto a stage flooded with light and filled with fear. My hands were shaking so bad I nearly dropped the mic and I could barely see anyone beyond the first row. It was in that moment that I followed my Uncle Michael’s advice, to close my eyes and make what I sing personal, and dedicated my performance to him. I stumbled over the first few lines and began to tear up thinking that everyone would laugh at me but instead, I heard people begin to chime in and singalong. Their help gave me confidence and comforted me as I sang my heart out for the rest of the song. Afterwards, my teacher allowed me to thank everyone for their help and acknowledge my uncle who may have not been one of the faces smiling back at me but was right there by my side through the whole thing. It was right there on that stage in the cafeteria of Leesburg Elementary that I learned just how brave and capable I was all along, with or without anyone else there to tell me so. From that moment on I became someone who believes in themselves and their abilities regardless of the obstacles I may face. From that moment on

They took a cab to get to my recital because at the time they sold their other car to buy a new one. We had another car but it was in the shop for some repairs, so they had to take a cab. That night a large log truck took their lives and they never made it to my recital. After that I was made to live with my Uncle Rob and my aunt Melanie. They were good people, and I was an honor student involved in baseball, swim, music( band and choir), poetry club, and national honor society. Parents and teachers thought I was destined to go to an Ivy League school, or even a prestigious music school but I fell into the wrong crowd and got hooked on drugs. I got whatever I could lay my hands on: cocaine, method, etc. The drugs helped me cope with the loss of my parents and the pressure I felt with school to maintain my 4.6 GPA. 2nd semester of my senior year, I couldn’t take it and dropped out of highschool. My uncle Rob said I was wasting my life but I told him I didn’t give a damn. My baseball coach Jerome ( Tori, and is 49 years of age) was freaked out but I just couldn’t take it. So I got a number of jobs at fast food places, stores, dairy farms etc. I still kept up with my music. And in 2005 I decided to audition for American Idol, believing I had

I couldn't ignore this pit in my stomach. Churning and tying into a million knots. I never liked the forest. I do have to admit that the accretion of nature was admirable and held a certain beauty, but you hear stories of horrible things happening out here. To make it even more ominous, basically ever horror or thriller movie involves murders or psychotic people running around with a chainsaw. No matter how many times by brother brings me out here hiking, my intransigence remains. My brother and I were quite different. Him being extravagantly gregarious, athletic, and adventurous. Me on the other hand:

My brother and I went to get our suits on and headed towards the waterpark to meet up with Austin, Ryan, Rachel, Rhett, Ben, and Brett. We all met by a table and began discussing what rides we were going to do first. Everyone was firing off ideas and then I just blurted out “Surfing ride, I need redemption”. Everyone agreed with my idea so we headed in that direction to wait in line. As we all stood there and waited, I began to look at the water and the water was running. It looked like it was going faster than it was the first time I rode this ride. The line began to shrink as time went on and as the line shrunk, I began to quiver. Finally it was my turn and I jumped into a wave and began surfing. I started turning on my board and I was building up my confidence to do a barrel roll. After about 20 seconds of turning, I finally built up enough confidence and did a barrel roll. I actually completed the roll but as I looked down, I realized my swimsuit had slipped again. I purposely fell off of the board and when I got up to the top, I pulled up my shorts and went off to another

We were lying face down in a big white truck. We were buried under about 50 sacks of potatoes. It was not a comfy ride. I managed to peep through a little hole on the side of the truck, I saw big sand dunes towering into the sky, they were the size of big hills, and the sand was old and dried up.

If I could stay in a biome, it would be the tropical rainforest. I would stay here because the weather is warm but there is also a lot of precipitation. This is always the best time to play outside. In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful biomes. The grass is always greener and flowers are always blooming. While living in this biome, the main piece of clothing is a rain jacket. Other items include rain boots, umbrella, hats, and sometimes shades.
