As I walked to school with my lunch that was in a plastic bag. Once we got into school and got in the building my teacher Mr. Williams took attendance and five minutes later we turned around and got on the bus. It was windy and there were leaves blowing all over the place. Last year my 5th grade at John Stewart elementary school was going to Leroy Oakes in St. Charles for team building. It was a fall day and it was chilly. I had my drawstring on my back with my lunch and had three coats on. We turned onto a road called Dean Street and it was bordered by grass. I saw the Leroy Oaks sign, and my bus went over a speed bump that threw my class off balance. After awhile my class off the bus with a skip and a jump in my step. Then I was super excited that our …show more content…
After, we played some fun activities like rolling down hills, which was this game where people crossed arms and then tried to have every body's arms straight. We also spotted deer. The deer were trying to hide from us when we saw them. They sprinted off faster than a cheetah when we saw them. We were able to have our lunch and then we played more fun games after that. My class went and walked all over Leroy oaks getting to see all of the nature. One guy who worked there taught us about acorns. He was hilarious, sarcastic, and was like go ahead and jump in the poison ivy. Next, we went inside a museum and did a scavenger hunt. The scavenger hunt was about raccoons and all the other creatures in the museum. I was not the biggest fan it but it went pretty quickly. All I had to do was look at some posters and in some drawers. Mrs. Palpant had a station where you had two rugs and you had to get across with six people on the mats and not touch the ground. It was hard to succeed because there are six people. I was always the person that had to move one of the mats up. The rugs were not very big only about two and a half by two. But, up next we were going to go in the water. I was ready to
The ride to cedar point took a long time because we had to go all the way to Sandusky, Ohio, it took about 3-4 hours. During the ride it was kind of noisy and we had to wake up at 3am to be able to go, and i was very tired, so i tried to fall asleep and i did, but i woke up to the bus hitting a big bump and my face smacking the seat. After that i decided to stay awake throughout the rest of the bus ride there. Once we got into Ohio we drove a little bit and stopped
Les Brown an American motivational speaker said, “We were all born with a certain degree of power. The key to success is discovering this innate power and using it daily to deal with whatever challenges come our way.” Brick walls taught me how to be responsible, courageous and patience.
When I was seventeen years old and going into my senior year of high school I was given the opportunity to go on a trip to Spain with my school. It was a two week trip during the summer, visiting different cities and historical sites throughout the country. While we where there we went to see a Flamenco dance show in Seville which is about an hour and a half outside of Madrid, the city where we were staying. It was a Wednesday around one o’clock when we left and the ride up there was really beautiful. We were driving through the country side passing some small villages on the side of the road. We arrived there around 3:30 and sat down for the show. It was really cool they had all the ladies with their bright dresses and fruit in their hair dance around while we ate lunch. And the show ended around five and we started to head home. On the way home we were driving through the countryside along side a small village when all of a sudden we heard a loud bang and the bus started slowing down. After a couple of ...
My mom and my sister took me to camp. They helped me setup my bed, and shortly after they dropped me off, they had to leave. We said our goodbyes, and they were gone. I didn’t know one person there, so after they left, I walked over to the carpet ball table. There were probably about 4-5 kids at the carpet ball table. Lucky for me, two girls, LIzzy
It was a chilly, but still very sunny day in mid September. The birds chirped and the sun shined. All was good. That weekend my travel soccer team and I went to a New England Revolution game. We all went to Hannaford to meet up together. Once we were all accounted for our head coach began to list off what van people were traveling in. Multiple shrieks erupted out of the girls as they were being separated from their best friends. Our coach thought it would be good for us to mingle with the other teammates that we usually don't talk to. As we all hopped in our vans and said our goodbyes to our best friends from then on our journey had just begun.
It was the last Saturday in December of 1997. My brother, sister, and I were chasing after each other throughout the house. As we were running, our parents told us to come and sit down in the living room. They had to tell us something. So, we all went down stairs wondering what was going on. Once we all got down stairs, the three of us got onto the couch. Then, my mom said, “ Well…”
A few days passed and it was new years eve and we were going to go to my uncles to watch the ball drop.I went outside in the barn where my dad already was working on his truck,so I helped him for a few hours then I went back inside.I noticed it was time for lunch so I ate a sandwich.I was feeling a little tired so since it was new years eve I knew I would have to be up really late so I layed down and took a nap.When I woke up I was rushed by my dad saying
As I was in the car all I was thinking of if I was going to eat goldfish or fruit roll ups. Since I was in the morning group we only went up to 12:00 then we got to leave. My mom came out the car and stayed with since all students and parents had to wait till the teachers came to pick us up. The lobby always smelled like cinnamon candles. My teacher finally came and we said bye to our parents and gave them kisses. As we were walking down the hallway I paid more attention to the classroom numbers. On that day I figured out that our room number was 10. I thought that since our room number was 10 we were all 10 years old.
When I was 18 years old my friends and I thought that it would be a good idea to go on a road trip across the country. We lived in Rhode Island and we were going to head up to Florida for the week. I had told my parents that I was going on a service trip with the school because I knew that if my parents knew I would be spending the week in a villa in Florida with just my friends there was no way they would let me go. I had promised my elderly neighbour that I would walk her dogs the day we were supposed to leave so I was planning to drive up by myself a day later. The next morning, I set off to the nineteen-hour drive to Florida. The first couple of hours were fine, the traffic wasn’t bad. Then I hit the ten-hour mark and I was starting to
Charles Samuel Storms II explains in his dissertation for The University of Texas that reading Edwards perspective of nature in his “Personal Narrative”, “One must be careful, however, lest it be concluded that the reading of an author necessarily entails a formative influence” (196). Storms does recognize that Edwards has unique perspective concerning nature, however he asserts to the reader they shouldn’t make conclusions about the author just based on this. This can be seen by the words “formative influence”. The root of formative is to form, and Storms using this word is to indicate that reading about Edwards’s perspective concerning nature forms a unique perspective of Edwards that is not necessarily true. In fact, this perspective could
In 6th grade I got to go to “ChewonkI” I rose up from my bed. I was nervous about who was going to be in my group My parents drove me to school, and I walked into my Social Studies class with Mrs. Ramsbotham. I went to go find my friends. We were all talking about “ Chewonki” We were all nervous. It was time to go to Chewonki. My friends and I all walked out of class together and down to the bus that was waiting for our class. I got lucky that I got to be on a bus with my friends the whole way there we talked. About 2 hours later we got to “ Chewonki” and were directed to a huge field where the whole grade all stood in a circle with the counselors, and the teachers off to the side. There was the main counselor in the middle of the circle that was calling out names and giving out group Information.
When the end of my 5th grade year had hit; A land mark of the most traumatizing event of my life was about to take place. My mom had left my father and took us along with her. Over the summer and a few addit...
One of the most memorable bus experiences in my life happened when I was in fifth grade. The final bell at school had rung, so I sprinted out to the bus with a few of my friends to save seats since our bus was always crowded. After we flung our backpacks into the four back seats, we ran back inside the school to buy some Mountain Dew from the pop machine in the cafeteria. After jamming our quarters into the machine and snatching the cans out of the bin, we sprinted back outside to make sure we did not miss the bus. It was still there, in all its yellow glory, so we hurried through the doors and onto the bus.
The bus! I can’t believe my ears. I can’t show up to high school on my first day by riding the bus. I was scared I needed my mother to drive me to school. Somehow knowing my mother was going to be there part of the way made it a little bit easier for me to go. I need her in a way to hold my hand as I embark on a new chapter in my life. Plus I was a little brat and felt too good for the public transportation system. My mother could sense that I felt uneasy and drove me. The drive to the newly built high school was just under fifteen minuets away. As we traveled my mother gave me some tips to make it through the day. She told me to introduce myself to my teachers on personal bases, to sit up front and to eat a good lunch. As we arrived at the entrance I felt my breakfast wanting to jump out of my stomach. I was shaking and on the verge of tears. Mother gave me a hug and a kiss on the forehead, told me everything was going to be just fine. I jumped out of the car and stood on the sidewal...
My tie flew in the morning wind. The only thing that I hoped was that I would not be late to work, I had been warned a couple of times about me being late. Luckily the bus too was late as usual. As I was boarding the bus I looked up for a vacant seat. What I saw then was quite unbelievable.
