I was born on October 3, 2000 in Salinas, California. I was born to wonderful immigrant parents who continue to work hard in order for me to have an awesome life. I have three fabulous sisters that I love and sometimes hate. When I was young, I was not able to explore the world outside of East Salinas. Both of my parents were scared to go out of Salinas and they also didn’t have enough time since they had to work in strenuous jobs. I instead created my own world in my backyard with my pets and homemade swing. In my backyard I had chicks and chickens, ducks, a peacock, and a pup named Cassandra. My swing was just a thick lazo that hung over a tree branch; I used a sweater so that I wouldn’t feel the pressure of the lazo when I sat. From kindergarten …show more content…

During my junior year in high school I was informed that for the first year in Alisal they provided us with a program called Worldstrides. Worldstrides is an educational program that gives students an opportunity to travel around the world and learn new things that they aren’t able to experience in real life. I knew that I had to take this opportunity since I had the desire to travel the world outside my hometown knowing that it can finally become true. I registered with some of my friends so that I could have a good time having fun with my them. The day of the trip came and I was excited but also worried because I had never gotten on a plane. I got more nervous because I knew that the flight was going to take 12 hours. I asked one of my friends to tell me when the plane was going through turbulence because I didn’t know what it felt like. During the flight, I was calmed watching a movie when suddenly The plane started shaking, it felt like if I were in a rollercoaster ride but worse because I was not ready for it. I was looking for my friend to ask him what is but he wasn’t there, he was in the restroom. I was so frightened and was trembling so much that I bet I made the plane shake even more. I heard the pilot say in the speakers that we were going through some turbulence. Once it stopped I fell

  • Personal Narrative Essay Writing

    1221 Words  | 3 Pages

    A couple of weeks ago, the class was assigned a personal narrative essay and the prompt was to tell an interesting story of a specific experience that changed how you acted, thought, or felt. To be honest, I was awfully excited to write this essay because talking about myself is the easiest thing to write about sometimes. However, deciding what experience to talk about was challenging because I have already experienced so much in my seventeen years of being alive from dislocating my hip when I was three, to seeing my grandfather die in front of my eyes, from almost tripping off of the trail on the Grand Canyon, to meeting band members at an airport. Writing this essay brought me many challenges, I did not know what topic to choose, I had no

    Personal narratives allow you to share your life with others and vicariously experience the things that happen around you. Your job as a writer is to put the reader in the midst of the action letting him or her live through an experience. Although a great deal of writing has a thesis, stories are different. A good story creates a dramatic effect, makes us laugh, gives us pleasurable fright, and/or gets us on the edge of our seats. A story has done its job if we can say, "Yes, that captures what living with my father feels like," or "Yes, that’s what being cut from the football team felt like."

  • Moving To Canada

    The day we were leaving to go to the airport, I remember waking up and feeling a bit nauseous. I still had not realized yet that it was actually happening. I remember seeing my grandpa’s frightened face through the car’s window, crying like a child as his daughter and granddaughter were moving to an unknown place. Strangely enough, when we got to the airport we were told that we had missed our flight. This felt like a sign that maybe moving was a bad idea. I let out a huge sigh of relief because I thought that missing the flight indicated that we might decide to not move to Canada. Unfortunately, we booked another flight which was two days later. As we were heading back home from the airport, it all felt like a dream. It was unreal because we were mentally prepared to leave that day and then we missed the flight which made us even more nervous about the whole situation. As we made our way again to the airport for our second flight, I was even more overwhelmed and scared about the move than I was when we left for the first time. When my mom and I passed through security, I turned around and saw my uncle waving and I felt sick to my stomach. It hit me then that it was actually happening and that I was leaving the place and people that I had been most depended on for the last eight

    A narrative is a story. In writing a narrative essay, you share with the reader some personal experience of your own in order to make a point or convey a message. You may choose to tell how your grandfather influenced your desire to become an orthodontist, or perhaps you’ll relate the story of the time you didn’t make the cut for the basketball team. Whatever story you tell, your purpose is to share with others some experience that has taught you something or changed you somehow.

  • How to Write a Personal Narrative Essay

    There is very little mystery to writing the personal narrative essay. There is no proper topic for such an essay. An essay can be about a variety of personal experiences. You, the writer, have the right to say what you want about your personal experience. You can write about anything -- Aunt Sally, the funky necklace you bought at a garage sale, the harrowing experience of being stuck in an elevator, the best Christmas you ever had, the worst day of your life. No topic or subject is off-limits; therefore there are endless opportunities to write an essay about your personal, point-of-view of what happened. Often the reason behind wanting to write a personal essay is unclear. Once the writing begins and the events are recorded and recounted it becomes clear that the writer is searching to find the meaning, the universal truth, the lesson learned from the experience. When writing, rewriting and good editing coalesce, a personal narrative essay becomes a beautiful thing. It shows how the past or a memory’s significance affects the present or even the future.

    “I’m sorry,” words I often say too much. It is like admitting defeat to the situation. Though I believe what I did was not wrong, they say I have to apologize. I want to protest but I need to show remorse and that it will not happen again. I have apologized so much that I don’t even mean it anymore. I forget that it is supposed to be sincere and real but when I say it means nothing. The feelings have gone away and I’m like a broken record apologizing for everything I did wrong. Before I believed that you were only supposed to apologize when you mean it but I just apologize to get out of trouble. There was an incident in my fifth-period class. It started with me trying to help a classmate to understand the work we were given. The teacher kept telling me to turn around
