Personal Narrative: The First Football Game

Since I came to ETSU last year I was dying to go the first football game of the season. So I couldn’t wait to get my ticket to the first home game of the year. Monday morning I was outside getting my ticket. I waited in line, sitting in the morning cold outside of the Culp Center for about 30 minutes just to get my tickets. My friends walked by me in line asking what I was doing. I said with glee in my voice, “getting my ticket!”
Finally the day came. It was Thursday, the day of the game, and I couldn’t. I sat in every one of my classes just waiting. Not even paying much attention to my teachers. The teachers’ words were just going in one ear and out the other.
My friends and I all packed up in my friend Brandon’s truck and headed for Science

Hill. We rode around for about 30 minutes just to find parking, arguing about how we should have came earlier to get a good parking space. We finally found a space and got extremely excited in the parking lot for the game. My friends and I walked in to the games in our blue and gold rushing into the crowd. Then the games started. Everybody in the Stadium was ecstatic, even more in the first half of the game. Suddenly all the enthusiasm died during the second half. We started to lose the game. My friends and I were heart broken, hoping ETSU would make a comeback. Unfortunately they didn’t win the game. We walked out of the stadium with our heads down and depressed telling each other “It’s ok. We’ll win the next one.”
