Personal Narrative: The Sundiver

I had always wanted to try parasailing, but I never thought I would have the opportunity. When I was told I would be able to, I was thrilled. My friend Kenna and I wondered what it would be like to be looking down at the salty ocean. Would everyone look like tiny ants? Would I be chilly in the wind? We became jittery just talking about all the amazing things we would see. This was the morning I was going to fly into the sky like a bird.

Inspired by watching either one of either one of my parents drive from the passenger seat having trouble focusing of the road due to the brightness of the sun. Many accidents happen on the roads all over the United States because of the intense brightness of the sun blocking driver's vision while steering. Federal regulations against tinted windows make it hard to do much about the problem without facing a penalty. This invention will help drivers overcome the obstacle of driving almost blinded by the brightest star in our solar system and also help avoid tinting their windshields darker than it is legal to.

The Sun’s May, 2017, striking cover photo of a blacktail deer, taken by Nolan Calisch, was instantly recognizable to me and confirmed by the Photographer’s bio. This solitary doe is one of a census of 230 deer who cohabit our small Victorian Seaport town on the Olympic Peninsula. Local residents’ responses to co-mingling run the whole gamut from disdain to enchantment as our roaming, grazing neighbors lop the blooms off our flowers, prune bushes bite by bite, and leap fences to devour rare plants and vegetable gardens. I am one of the enchanted minority who enjoys their presence, can manage my garden sufficiently to share the bounty, and consider any up- close encounter with these gentle, sentient, wild beings nothing short of sacred. Al

All of the sudden, as I gasped for air I found it. He clasped my hand as our feet reached the ocean floor. I floated past coral reefs. Various schools of fish zipped past us.

It was a dry and hot desert night in memphis Dave had been planning this heist for months now, and tonight was the perfect night to go through with the plan. He wanted the Serpents Spear for a man which he only knew as Amar had given him an offer he couldn’t resist, and he knew he could do it I mean he had done it before it was just this time it was going to be a lot more difficult and if he got caught he would be in serious trouble. Was the money Dave needed for his family to have the life they deserved worth it? After 3 sleepless nights Dave decided he would go through the risk was worth it his children deserved more, he deserved more, and he wasn’t just going to continue sitting around at his boring accountant job waiting for what he needed to give his family what they deserve. He was going to go and get it.

I held my breath, swam down to the ground floor, and pierced my light into the holes in the rock. I saw nothing at first, but an eel appeared. I remembered my dad telling me on the car ride there that certain eels are dangerous and I should avoid them. It was a moray eel. I trembled when I saw its razor, sharp teeth, yet I was fascinated by it. It turned its head and stared right at me. I thought it was going to bite me, so I pushed myself against the rock and the waves slammed me into another rock beside me. I was full of adrenaline, so I did not feel anything. We swam around the rock and decided to go back to

A while ago, my dad and I were thinking about getting the dash lights working on the Porsche.

Dear Diary, I will never forget the word Miami. My family and I went on vacation to Miami beach the car ride was 9 hours. Even doe I was tired from the trip I was really excited to see my family from chicago that had also come on vacation. I was wearing sweatpants a t shirt and my slippers which are super comfy. When I saw the kids and the teenagers i had a big smile on my face, after 5 minutes we started comparing each other to see who was the tallest of the group of kids I was which kind off made me the oldest I felt awesome. The really cool teenage girls which I love so much Mela and Katy had their nails done wearing the bikinis.after hanging out we all went out for lunch to n argentinian restaurant…so good. That afternoon

As the ship swayed from side to side, I get a closer view of the waves and the dolphins pushing against the ship. As I stroll towards the front deck, the ship slows down as we are getting closer to our destination. I see the people of Tuvalu waving their hands. The smiles on their faces create the feeling of happiness within me, therefore I didn't feel any sadness even though I wasn't there with my parents.

The next day i woke up in the middle of nowhere, it was quiet as a mouse all i saw was water everywhere luckily before we airplane hit the water I was able to put on a life jacket and i was floating in the water so I began to swim i did it for about 30 minutes I got tired, but hope wasn't lost i saw a island that looked peaceful and beautiful it almost looked like paradise, I could almost

My family and I had been riding a big red bus to the park we had been riding for two minutes and I knew it in my bones that it was close. But I didn't know if it was good, if I would just swim with dolphins or if there was more too it I kept thinking about it. Until I got there.

“Wow” I said, amazed with how clear the water is. It was like swimming on glass or even looking through glass. As a result we went to the spot, I thought is was going to be freezing in the water because back at the beach is was like swimming with ice on you. But as we were getting ready to go in the water with tons of people from the resort had to put on the gear first. First we put on the life jacket, then we put on the goggle and snorkels. I also remember seeing a shark cause the guy yelled to the guy on the other boat because we have a party boat next to us. Then when we went out there and when I got in the water with my luck a shark swam right by us for myI was lucky then he did not come with me cause I would I poop my pants. I think that

I had never been paragliding before. So as before ascending into the bright blue sky I told the boat driver, “Do not let my feet touch the water. I am deathly afraid of sharks and fishes.”

I remember that day. The pernicious sun beating against my cheeks, my father waking up us with his hands pressed on his lips mocking the sound of the military trumpet at exactly 6 am. My brother had already had a head start preparing the boat, and applying the trailer to the truck. I thought to myself it was okay because I would have caught my first fish, bigger and better than he did. I risked being careful, and getting into the water itself was more satisfying than the hot sun against the cool water. I waited, building anticipation and then, we reached our spot. The water that day was clear, radiant and if you stare at the bottom for too long you thought to
