I was ending my call with Emily, as we were arriving at the airport. Emily and Noah were about to board their plane in Seattle. I grabbed my backpack and suitcase “Annie, I hope you are ready to go and have put your things in the car,” yelled mom from downstairs. I was going to my visit my grandparents in Santa Monica, by myself.
“Yep, I’m ready,” I yelled back. I am so excited to be flying by myself, now that I am 13. I am meeting my two cousins Emily and Noah at the airport in Los Angeles. They’re both 13 too. I looked at my room one last time and grabbed my phone, still lying on my bed. I rushed down the stairs and out the garage door to find my mom's silver Honda already running in the driveway. I put my things in the trunk and quickly

My mom walked to security with me to make sure I was okay and to say our goodbyes. I was about to leave security when I heard an announcement about my flight to L.A.
“Flight number 3606 is delayed to Los Angeles, California. Passengers will have to wait until we announce something relating to this flight. There are harsh winds in the Los Angeles area, so we will not let the plane fly, thank you!”
I began to worry, I had never been anywhere with lots of people, without my parents. I walked quickly to my gate, where I found other people who were also going to L.A., very unhappy. I took an empty seat in the corner so I could call home.
“Hi Mom, my flight got delayed. I don’t know how long I will be

Once I got back, I ate my cake pop, drank my iced coffee and read the magazine talking about the show I like. When I had finished reading my magazine, I called my grandparents to tell them that my flight was delayed and it would be a while until I would land. They said that Emily and Noah’s flight has not landed yet so I shouldn’t be worried about being late.
An hour later, the flight attendant came on the loudspeaker to make an announcement.
“Flight number 3606, flying to Los Angeles will start boarding in 3 minutes. I repeat, flight number 3606, flying to Los Angeles, California will start boarding in 3 minutes, thank you!” I had a sigh of relief, I wanted to get to Los Angeles as soon as possible. Before they started to board, I took out my phone to call my grandparents.
“Hi Nana, my flight is about to board.” I said, looking at the people who were starting to line up to board the plane.
“Okay Annie, see you then,” she said. I grabbed my suitcase, backpack and plane ticket rushing to get a good spot in line.
“Hello miss, how are you?” the flight attendant said as she was scanning my ticket when it was finally my
I was surprised, embarrassed and dismayed all at once. Her flight made me feel like an accomplice in tyranny. It also made it clear that I was indistinguishable from the muggers who occasionally seeped into the area from the surrounding ghetto. (Staples 240 - 241)
While we take the walk up to the Patriot I started to feel anxious, Paige, Keeshawn and I are waiting for our turn. The roller coaster comes to a stop, and as people leave, we plopped
It was a murky overcast summer's eve; crisp morsels of rain splashed on the ground vigorously. Sounds of jet engines buzzed in the back of my ear lobes through the torrential downpour. The common sight of the departure time of our flight being delayed yet again caught my eye as we turned the corner towards the gate. Almost an hour later we began to finally line up at the gate to get on the what then seemed massive jet plane. I remember looking out the gigantic floor to ceiling windows at providence airport at the bright blue, red and orange of the jet, so excited to be going on it. Our family carefully chose seats right near the wing emergency exits. I rushed to the window seat, plopped down and buckled my seat belt. I was ready to go to Florida. I barely took up half of the seat, I was 8 or 9, and as a curious kid I was touching nearly anything I could put my hands on. I remember soon after we sat down in the back row on the left of the aircraft the same side as us, I heard a great commotion. A woman at the back was on the phone telling her friend she had drugs and she just took them. Not soon after three men boarded the plane. One had
Walking into a building that was as tiny as a bug, my stomach started to feel uneasy. As I looked around at the security guards watching every move I made, I knew this would be the hardest goodbye. The uncomfortable chairs, silent tv, and unbearable smell of coffee were NOT helping either. As we approached my brother, he softly said to us, “I’ve been here since 5:30 and they said my flight won’t leave until 2:30, but I get TSA Precheck because I’m in the military.”
Joe, a senior that had decided to go on the trip with us, called from in front of me and said that he had found both of our seats. I followed the sound of his voice through all of the people and luggage, until I was in the back of the plane.
“We’re up next i'm so excited!” I yelled. After that we got our tickets and went through the whole procedure of checking our ticket, going through security, and finally we got inside the
The Panic! It was a nice and quiet day here in Center, TX. I was in the living room laying on the couch watching a movie with my brother and sister. Then all of a sudden the news popped up on the screen.
My heart was pounding as I boarded my flight leaving the Bangkok International Airport. A flight attendant in a grey dress with a red bow draped over her shoulder announced; “Welcome aboard flight AA350 to the United States.” My journey began that day.
Great the rain is stopping. Should be smooth sailing now. We get to Penny’s house it’s not raining but puddles everywhere. We Penny in the car, bags stowed in the back. Off to the airport. We arrive at the airport. Getting everyone and everything out. Penny forgot her bag in the excitement of leaving and dodging the rain. This is not the first she has forgotten something before we leave on a vacation. So she asked “Can you take me back to my house I forgot my bag?” “Sure” the voice says. Mom and I are left at the airport to check bags. No Way! We forgot to change our
We’re dropping and picking up whatever, putting things back, and asking what should we bring. The rush of it all. We weren’t expecting to be going anywhere, but we were up for it because we enjoyed road trips. As we were loading the van, getting buckled in safely, I asked mother out of curiosity, “Mommy, where are we going?” “To visit your grandmother in New Jersey.”
“Flight 208 to Los Angeles is now boarding. Section N you may now take your seats”. You looked down at your carry-on bag to make sure you have everything packed up, even though you took nothing out, and headed toward the flight attendant and handed her your ticket. As your walking through the tunnel, the sound of the planes jets put just enough pressure on your body, causing your pulse to increase. “Why are you nervous, you been on planes before”, you ask yourself. You shake your head and start to inhale and before you could finish getting your lungs to the maximum capacity they could hold, a man wearing a white shirt twice his size and jeans that also seemed
