Personal Narrative Two years ago in the summer time I went to visit my family in Romania after not seeing them for about three years. My whole entire family from both of my parents live in Romania so the summer is the only time we get a chance to see them. Two years ago I was not really aware of how grateful and lucky I am that I can go visit my family because some families do not have the chance to go because airplane tickets cost so much money. When my mom told me about the trip I was beyond happy. I can still remember the way her tone was. It was a very joyful tone. I was super happy because the time I get to see my family is the best time of my life. For me to be able to see them means a whole lot. It was a couple of days after school ended …show more content…
It was quite an interesting set of noise. We finally got to the desk and got our flight tickets. After that we had to go through security so they could check us and our bags, then finally we got to our gate to board our first flight which was from Detroit to Amsterdam. That is an eight hour flight over the Atlantic Ocean. I was asleep most of the time. I did not even get up to eat. When we first got in the air really high up I looked out the window and all I could see was snow white clouds. It made me feel like I was floating on snow.When we got to Amsterdam we had to get to our second gate right away because the plane was already there ready to board people. This next flight was from Amsterdam to Romania and this was only a two hour flight. That whole flight I started getting even more impatient because I just wanted to see my family so bad. We are finally in Romania and I was so ecstatic. We go to baggage claim and walk out the doors to see my grandpa and uncle waiting for us. I started crying happy tears, we hugged and talked for a minute then it was off to the …show more content…
Once again I was asleep the whole time because I was a little tired from traveling.When I was awake I looked out the window and saw the beautiful mountains and rivers that were right next to me and was admiring the view. Time passed and we finally arrive at their house. Before the car engine even stops I hop out of the car and go hug all my aunts, uncles, and cousins who are waiting for us outside. Everyone was so happy and laughing and the energy was just an indescribable
After an exhausting,but fun trip I realized that something good always comes out of something devastating.The thanksgiving break that I thought would be devastating turned out to be one of the best memories of my childhood.I learned a lot from this experience that I will carry on with the rest of my life.I also realized you have to make the most out of a situation that you don't like.This Thanksgiving Break will never be
When we got there I was pleased to be out of the car. We went to my grandma and grandpa’s house because we didn't have a house yet. My mom
Now going through border control to get back home was the slow part, they had to check birth certificates, check the car for drugs (which we obviously had nothing, but it was routine.) and asking if everyone in the car was a U.S Citizen. I was so glad to see red, white, and blue waving so beautifully in the air. I felt safe again, not that parents weren’t going to protect me in Mexico if something happened, but just knowing that there are people in America here to protect me, it’s comforting. We do have family in Brownsville, Texas so while we were cruising by we decided to stop by stay the night. We talked all day long about our wonderful time in Linares and made some very good enchiladas. But we couldn’t stay too long so we packed up and headed on home to the Sunshine State, we had no idea that are loved ones had planned a surprise Welcome Home party, it was an amazing way to end our summer. Defiantly one to remember.
Growing up as an only child I made out pretty well. You almost can’t help but be spoiled by your parents in some way. And I must admit that I enjoyed it; my own room, T.V., computer, stereo, all the material possessions that I had. But there was one event in my life that would change the way that I looked at these things and realized that you can’t take these things for granted and that’s not what life is about.
A calm crisp breeze circled my body as I sat emerged in my thoughts, hopes, and memories. The rough bark on which I sat reminded me of the rough road many people have traveled, only to end with something no one in human form can contemplate.
At our arrival the planes door wouldn’t open and they said we might have to return to New York. I couldn’t believe this. I was ready to jump out a window. Finally we are let out of the plane and I had to wait like three hours for my grandfather to come pick me up.
My mom had been going to school in Greeley and staying at my Aunt Margaret's house . She had been away for two weeks and wanted to come home for the Fourth of July weekend. My mom had suggested that I go back with her and visit colleges, shop, go to movies and just spend time together. I had been feeling pretty sorry for myself since she had been gone. I had been working alot as a maid and helping my dad run the house, I was getting very irritated with my siblings as I felt that I was the only family member doing my part to help my dad. I was really excited to have a week with my mom to myself. The whole ride over we were talking about what I wanted to do that week. Making plans and having "me time" seemed very important at the time.
Boot Camp Graduation! I remember seeing my moms face and, The tears rollind down her beautiful tan face. The way she looked at me when I read my speech. It wasn't just a speech. It was from the bottom of my heart, something I really ment.
At first, I had to get many things in order before I was ready to leave. I had to buy clothes for family members and myself. My mother and father were very excited that I was going to go on my first plane ride they told some stories about when they went on a plane ride
My European trip has developed me into a more responsible person. We were away from home for about one month and we had to do a lot of things that our parents normally do for us. I never realized how much I rely on my parents until I went on this trip.
I was able to spend a lot of time with my family, our friends, and play all sorts of games. This experience made me start to like traveling. Every time I would get the chance to travel, I will take that chance. We were able to go to a theme park, eat many delicious foods, and play many video
Spending time with my family and relatives brought out the best in who I am and impacted me in many amazing, different ways. It made me more cheerful about life, and about the people around me.Their bright smiles will always be imprinted in my memory. Going to Canada with my family was one of the best experiences of my life. As a first time of going on a trip, it was the most delightful and enchanting experience I had ever felt. It is so easy for me to remember these vivid memories about my experiences in Canada, because I had the most incredible time, even though i almost drowned. When my family and I finally got home, we all sat around the living room. The sounds of the heartwarming laughs coming from all the family members brimmed in my ears. That is how, my incredible trip came to an end.
My most memorable family vacation took place two years ago. We went to Corsica, a French island situated in the south of France right next to Italy. I remembered waking up early excited to visit this new land. Used to take long flights, I was surprised to arrive to the destination after a one-hour flight. Even though the flight was short for me, it was stressful for my mom, she has never felt secured in a plane, probably due to the fact that she is afraid of height. When finally arrived at the destination, the dry and warm weather was there to welcome us. We all felt relief, and knew that this was the beginning of the summer. Excited, we had a lot of activities planned for the few weeks, me and my father could not wait to dive in the clear
Taking that flight was nothing like the flights I’ve taken before. I had just recently celebrated my fourteenth birthday a week before being told that we were taking a trip. My dad wanted to surprise me for keeping up good grades in school. With my father working in the military and knowing a lot about other countries, I couldn’t have asked for a better gift. Went
My most memorable trip was the day I went to the Children 's Memorial Hospital to meet my baby brother. Meeting my brother was an indelible moment because I had never felt such happiness and love for someone. On our way there, I also got to create a bond with both my parents and learn how to be a better happier person. At the time I was sixteen years old and was going through a stage where I felt depressed and that’s why the day I arrived at the hospital to meet my brother I felt this warmth in my heart that made me feel happy again.
