Personal Narrative: My Michigan Hero

Some Michigan Heroes can be people that helped you in life or helped you succeed in life. My Michigan Hero is someone that raised me, taught me everything I know in life today. This person is my idol, that gave me a hand when I needed one, or told me to keep my head up and never look down. I wouldn’t know what to do in life if this person wasn’t in it.
It’s walking in, branches breaking while he’s walking into the bait pile. I feel like my heart is going to jump right out of my chest. I sat there patiently while letting it eat for a while. I grabbed my gun and put the bullet in. I really didn’t know if this was real or if i was just dreaming, but this had to be real. Once I told my dad that I was ready to shoot, he told me to wait. Everything has changed it started walking back into the woods, I almost lost it.
My dad told me just to sit quietly and wait patiently. I sat there for about seven minutes and so came a bigger one. You could hear it from a mile away, how heavy it was snapping all the branches. There it was standing right in front of my eyes at least 100 yards away. My dad finally grabbed my gun and told me to wait till I could get a good shot. Still my heart was bumping harder than before and I thought that this wasn’t gonna end well. I got my gun on the ledge and looked into my scope and

there he was. My dad was behind waiting for me to shoot.
He softly said into my ear, “okay take a deep breath and hold it in, then pull the trigger.” Click I put the gun on fire, and I was ready to shoot.

I was counting to myself 1, 2, 3, Boom!! The shot went off and I was so happy. I looked out my window and it was still standing there. My dad in the back looking in the bag like he had lost something, he was looking for another bullet. He gave it to me and said put this in the gun and aim again. I thought to myself I missed, what if it’s going to run away. As I put the bullet in the gun and looked through the scope it was still standing there, it seemed to have not known where the shot had come

from.
I didn’t count to three this time, I just took a deep breath and pulled the trigger. It jumped so high up in the air and then ran off into the woods. Putting the gun down and hugging my dad in excitement. We sat there for about five minutes and then went and looked for it. Before we went we followed the blood trail that was leading us into the woods. My dad went one way and I went the other. I kept my dad in touch if I saw a big patch of blood somewhere. My dad yelled, “Rylie I found your deer.” I ran as fast as I could to see my deer, as I saw my dad I saw the deer lying right next to him. I jumped up in excitement and ran up to my dad and started hugging him, because if I didn’t have my dad that day it would have never happened.
I wrote this about my dad because some people don’t get this awesome opportunity in life, either because some people don’t know who their parent is, or their parent doesn’t take their kids places where they want to go. This is the reason why my dad is my Michigan Hero.
