Personal Narrative: The Drive To Vermont

Humans are animals. Even as developed, personalized, and intelligent as we are, we share a deep connection with every living thing. However, many of the problems in the world result from the human belief that technology is more powerful and can replace the serene, perfect essence of nature. I believe that a connection with nature can heal wounds and help humans find balance in their lives.

West Virginia has always been a part of my life, although I am not a resident. When I think of the state the first things that come to mind are college, beauty, and friends. My family has had ties for many years to West Virginia. My mother attended West Virginia Wesleyan College and my relation to the state grew stronger when I chose to attend WVWC. In the past three years I have become enamored with the state and all it has to offer. The pure, wild, beauty of the state is something I will never forget. From orienteering to the top of Spruce Knob with other students in the honor’s program to white water rafting the lower Gauley River with my roommates, I have enjoyed exploring West Virginia. During my time in West Virginia I have learned more

Colorado, known for the Rocky Mountains, is a gorgeous place to be. The rectangular state rich with wildlife, covers 104,185 square miles. In the black timber, it is dark and silent, not a sound to be heard. The thick pine trees block out most of the sunlight, only to see about seventy-five yards. The terrain is brutal, almost straight up and down, but the elk love it because it is a challenge for hunters to see them. As I walk my favorite ridgeline in the black timber, I watch for the slightest movement and listen for the smallest crack. Watching thirteen-lined ground squirrels run around and chase each other can be humorous when they fall down from trees. My adrenaline pumps and heart races at a million miles per hour as I wait patiently

My life was just normal being in New Hampshire. But then I had to move to Florida, when I was 3. The reason why is because of my mothers' job. She found a school that was better than the one she was at then. That was an interesting change for me. I was just 3 years old and I loved the cold and snow. Our time in Florida did not last long. The difference in weather really did not affect my life as much then others because I like colder weather a beater then hot weather. Me and my parents moved back up to New England again, but to Connecticut this time because of my mom for her work again. Apparently, it's hard for schools to find a good head admissions person. So, in Connecticut where I met 2 guys that became my best friends. We taught things

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

I couldn’t wait to get to the powdery snow on the mountains. I love the feel of the freezing snow and the sound of the roaring wind going by me. But I had to drive to Colorado first on Friday. But when I got there I knew that I would have a good time.

First Vanessa Vermont bought a brand new broiler, and she had wanted her husband to set it up for her. Now Vanessa is dead on her kitchen floor.

I participated in my first Krell Adventure Games earlier this year and loved the concept and challenges and have been looking forward the Hudson Valley event as I live less than an hour from the venue, so it was a nice treat to be able to run an event that was close and convenient to home. I was also looking forward to running this event with my OCR friend Brain Kellogg who I had gotten to know at a few other OCR's over the past year plus.

It is about that day of the week again, Sunday. I woke up to the wooden planks used for the floor creaking as daddy went to wake Jonnie and Suzie up for church since Billy, Andrew, Holly and I have passed the age of twelve the expectation is to wake each other up or wake ourselves. That is the bad part about living in the New England colony, there is no sleeping in on a Sunday not just once. Also, we have to get up even earlier because we living in the middle of town and city. The year is sixteen-twenty, and at the moment we are living in Massachusetts, but daddy wants to move to Rhode Island because he says there tolerant- or something like that. Even though I really just want to sleep I know I have to get up and wake Holly, Billy,And Andrew.Daddy briefly told us about one of his

It was a warm summer day in Helena Montana. The sky was overcast and even though the sun was barely visible, it was still warm. You could smell the smell of freshly mowed lawns in the crisp air. But the thing that happened next was a terrible thing that happened in the blink of an eye. The ground shook and people started to panic. The thing that happened was bound to happen and it hadn't happened 70,000 years. The Yellowstone national park supervolcano erupted and everyone near Yellowstone died instantly. Even though Helena was not destroyed by the eruption it was definitely affected. When the eruption hit a family with the last name of Robinson was on a tour of the walking mall. The Robinson family consisted of two boys a mother and a father.

Maine East is the epitome the perfect Fine Arts program. I remember my first day in my Radio and TV class my teacher told me that Harrison Ford was the first ever person on the Maine East Radio and as soon as I heard that I was hooked. From that point in my favorite actor was my inspiration for participating in nearly everything that involved film. At first I thought being a radio personality was a dream I had wanted to achieve, and to this day I love being on the radio, but then I found another dream and that was film directing. Being in a school and a film class that encourages you to not only think outside the box but to also be yourself is fantastic. I love being in charge of my work and being able to showcase it makes me feel good about

Right as the line dropped I felt the tension of a monster on the hook. Setting the hook woke me as I realized it was a dream. If I had ticket I would fly to Montana. When I was young I lived in Montana. I've always wanted to go back up there not only to visit family I haven't seen in four years, but to hike up to the mountain tops and fish.

I will never go on another road trip in my life. About 2 years ago my family was planning on taking a trip to go to South Dakota. I was super excited because i've never been out of the state so I was looking forward to it. My siblings had went to South Dakota many times before and they kept telling me that they had so much fun but I all I could think about was the way there and not the destination. The night before we were supposed to leave all eight of us packed our bags and slept the rest of the night away. We were planning on leaving Early in the morning so we could get a head start on the day and that ending up not working out because of course we all woke up late. As we calmly rushed out the door and stuffed all our bags and blankets into the crowded car and did a last check to see if we missed anything we decided to hit the road.

My heart was thumping heavily, as the bus took a turn towards the mountains. I didn’t know why I had agreed, but it was too late to turn back.

Throughout my life, I have been on quite the number of ski/snowboard trips and even though a lot of them have been in the same place it never gets old. I'd tell you about my first time going but I was only two years old so I don't remember, I guess you will have to be satisfied with the story of another time. Last December, I remember the long packing process and the boring drive to the hotel. My aunt and uncle along with my friend, Austin and my sister, Abby were in the vehicle with me. You could say the route to Hood River is somewhat scenic, but after traveling it countless time I couldn't help falling asleep for parts of it. While I wasn't asleep I was busy chatting with everyone in the vehicle which makes it feel shorter but it could never be short enough, I was already excited.
