299 Words1 Page

It was a sunny Thursday in April and we had just gotten back from spring break. I was tan, well-rested and I still had in my cornrows that I had gotten done in Aruba. After getting my pizza, my mom told me we were going to the mall as soon as I finished. Slightly confused, I ate my pizza and got in the car. Once at the mall, we looked around the dress section of Lord and Taylor. I picked a fun, ruffled yellow dress. I went to try it on, but it sadly did not fit. While we were walking to put back the dress, a familiar voice shouted, “Surprise!” Shocked, I turned around to see my friend who had recently moved from Minnesota to a rural part in Pennsylvania. I could not believe what I was seeing. Was it just a dream? I stood there, shocked for

  • Personal Narrative: My Cruise To The Bahamas

    485 Words  | 1 Pages

    This past summer, my family and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. We had just docked at the second port, Nassau, and were preparing to exit the gigantic ship named the Carnival Fantasy. Once we got to the city, I noticed it was bustling with people of all different backgrounds and cultures. The roads were narrow and some even hilly. I remember coming to the conclusion that a lot of people in the Bahamas must have road rage what from the blaring car horns I could hear around every corner. My family and I were walking along the sidewalk, glancing into shops as we passed them. The weather was unbearably hot, but growing up in South Carolina allowed my family and I to push onward with our adventure. The sun burn on my back started to pulsate in pain any time the sunlight hit it, so we decided to stick to the side of the buildings that provided shade.

    Coming to Haiti I did not know what to expect. As soon as I stepped off the plane I was filled with mixed feelings on weather I would be able to appreciate and take in an environment that I have never stepped foot in.

We were walking through the woods of the Dry Lagoon State Park on the hunt for “The Thing.” We have been researching this thing for a couple years now and we think that we have narrowed it down to where it could be. It was a nice warm day, and the sun was shining through the branches of the tall trees. The birds were chirping, and I could hear the deer snapping the dead branches that lie on the ground. “Did you hear that?” said Matt. “Yeah, what was it?” I responded, pointing to the area the noise came from, “I think it came from over there.” Matt, John, and I slowly approached the spot where the noise was heard. Suddenly John screamed, “Watch out!” then right as I looked over, there was a huge creature, with dark hair and was at least 7 feet tall.
