Recommended: Essay preservation of wildlife

The soft muffled sounds of a child’s feet running across the floor woke me up that morning. Not a moment later, the door opened to the room followed by my younger sister launching herself onto the bed to wake me. With the door to my room now opened, a rush of aromas filled the room. Soon enough I was dressed and ready for breakfast.After a rushed breakfast filled with many diverse flavors of my grandparents cooking we were out the door prepared for the day ahead of us. My grandfather worked for a wildlife preservation which allowed him to live in a secluded location a short distance from the beach. This made the stretch of the beach we were going to go to be completely private. Not only was it just private but it was completely natural. The scenery wasn’t going to be polluted from the sounds of other people or cars driving down the busy road next to most other beaches. It wasn’t going to have the towering buildings next to the beach instead the dunes that were natural to the beach. Instead of the animals and creatures being the intruders to the city we were the intruders to their habitat. All of this came together making an experience I felt foreign to. …show more content…

This was where the road ended requiring us to walk the rest of the way. My mother and I gathered our supplies that we would need to spend the next few hours at the beach. This was the moment where I got to fully grasp my surroundings. I could now see the distinct line between the Florida forest and the dunes lining the beach. In the distance I could hear the sounds of the water crashing on the beach. Excitement overtook me at this moment but I could only move as fast as I could carry the cooler that felt as if I was carrying a boulder. Traveling down the long and winding path through the dunes the opening finally presented

    I wasn’t even outside but I could feel the warm glow the sun was projecting all across the campsite. It seemed as if the first three days were gloomy and dreary, but when the sun on the fourth day arose, it washed away the heartache I had felt. I headed out of the trailer and went straight to the river. I walked to the edge, where my feet barely touched the icy water, and I felt a sense of tranquility emanate from the river. I felt as if the whole place had transformed and was back to being the place I loved the most. That day, when we went out on the boat, I went wakeboarding for the first time without my grandma. While I was up on the board and cutting through the wake of the boat, it didn’t feel like the boat was the one pulling and guiding me, it felt like the river was pushing and leading me. It was always nice to receive the reassurance from my grandma after wakeboarding, but this time I received it from my surroundings. The trees that were already three times the size of me, seemed to stand even taller as I glided past them on the river. The sun encouraged me with its brightness and warmth, and the River revitalized me with its powerful currents. The next three days passed by with ease, I no longer needed to reminisce of what my trips used to be like. Instead, I could be present in the moment, surrounded by the beautiful natural

    There I stand on the Atlantic Ocean beach in Daytona, Florida. It’s 7:49 A.M, June 28, 2015. I feel my size ten feet sink into the frosty sand. With my board in my left arm, and sand covering my body, I seize my direction towards the blue ocean. As I halt at the base of the monumental ocean, I gaze in both directions, not a life in sight. I feel at peace, solitude, in my own meager world. As the crisp ocean mist wipes my sand replete face, I bounce into the ocean with my board under my body, cruising into the profound blue sea.

  • Personal Narrative Essay: My Florida Experience In Florida

    The smell of the restaurants faded and the new, refreshing aroma of the sea salt in the air took over. The sun’s warmth on my skin and the constant breeze was a familiar feeling that I loved every single time we came to the beach. I remember the first time we came to the beach. I was only nine years old. The white sand amazed me because it looked like a wavy blanket of snow, but was misleading because it was scorching hot. The water shone green like an emerald, it was content. By this I mean that the waves were weak enough to stand through as they rushed over me. There was no sense of fear of being drug out to sea like a shipwrecked sailor. Knowing all this now I knew exactly how to approach the beach. Wear my sandals as long as I could and lay spread out my towel without hesitation. Then I’d jump in the water to coat myself in a moist protective layer before returning to my now slightly less hot towel. In the water it was a completely different world. While trying to avoid the occasional passing jellyfish, it was an experience of

    The crisp, blue water of the deep blue is a world untold, filled with mystery and gaze that I often enjoy the company of, when the opportunity is granted. The magnificent smell I get stepping out on the hot, beige sand of salty air, of fresh emerald sea weed. The smoothness of the sand running between my toes, and the first leap into the icy blue freshness that bursts onto my body with the gush of the powerful waves. The force of the waves pushing you back and limbness of letting her take you aback.

    The view was remarkable. The sun was peering over the horizon, casting a warm, rosy glow. The mountains were a rich green, they were the churning, passionate green that the ocean turned during a storm. The kind of green that thrusts out of the gritty snow to remind you that spring is coming. I felt the crisp, careless wind run through my hair while thinking that I never wanted to leave this ravishing place.

    Geared up, we stood on the edge of the pier, staring into the water. It had a dark murky color to it, uninviting and almost repulsive. It was 10 pm and the sun had already set. Only the lights of a nearby restaurant reflected off the water’s black surface. The walk to the pier was dangerous.

    The dull light of the sun somehow manages to kindle my senses in a way I had never seen or felt before. Everything felt like it came to a standstill and the effect of the light made the scene look like one in a painting. The waves break gently into white foam on the black beach. The small crystals in the sand glimmer and twinkle brilliantly against the sunrays. The seagulls ride with the wind and the soft sand cushions my toes.

    ...ay slowly ends, I could see people packing everything up and heading towards the boardwalk to pile into their cars and head home. Some stay around, like me, to watch the sunset dip into the ocean that connects us to a new world. As I watched the sunset that glowed hues of pink and yellow I could feel myself become one with the world around me. I smile at the people leaving around me and they smile back. The funny part about the beach is that everyone, no matter what issues that are present in life just wants to kick back and enjoy a relaxing day at the beach. They come to the beach to get away from life problems that boggle their heads and cause tension in their lives. All anyone wants to do is just sit back and relax for the day. Just want to be surrounded by good people and a peaceful world that lets us sink our problems into it and forget about them for the day.

Coastal Highway, not unlike the ocean, seems to go on endlessly. When we were near Coastal Highway, I put my window down and let the smell of the sand and sea waft into the car. The rain had started, but it was only a light mist. The temperature had cooled off now too. I decided to take an evening swim. Some of the waves were raising nearly 10 feet. In the evening when we all entered the beach some lifeguards were announcing that tides are so strong. Though I was not
