It was one sunny afternoon in 2011. I was at one of my football games in Excelsior Springs. We had won that game thirty six to twelve. I had two touchdowns and one interception. I had stood the night with a old best friend up in Kansas City because my mom didn’t want me to know what happened that day while I was at my football game at that moment.
The next day I had went home with a bad feeling.Then my mom told me that my brother was in a really bad car accident again and lost his life.

    Personal Narrative: Duquoin IL

    Out of nowhere the Tahoe swerved quickly to the right. In the middle of the highway was a gleaming white dishwater. Everything went into slow motion, we swerved to the right and slammed into the back of the Tahoe. The airbags deployed with a loud bang, my head slammed into the window, and my sister was crying. Our car was totaled,…

    Personal Narrative: Playing For The Goodlettsville All-Stars

    It was the middle of the summer and I was playing baseball in Jackson, Mississippi. I was playing for the Goodlettsville All-Stars. We were playing in the little league 10u world series. To get to the championship we had to win 8 games and it was single elimination. We had won 7 out of 8 games and we were playing our 8th game and it was the bottom of the third and I was playing left field. In the second inning I was felling drowsy so my dad gave me a Snickers and a Red Bull. I was for sure not drowsy anymore. I could feel the sugar rushing through my veins and I was on the balls of my feet waiting for the pitch to be thrown. When my pitcher threw the ball I had my hand in my glove ready for the ball if it was hit to me. WHAM! The ball was hit so far up in the air it looked like it hit the sun. When I realized that the ball was coming to me I was way too far back so I had to run as fast as I could and dive for the ball. I jumped as far as I could and stretched as far as I could. I barely caught it by snow coning the ball. Everybody was so proud of me that the screamed as loud as they could. We went on to win the game 4-1. The next day I woke up, jumped out of the bed, and put my uniform on. I was so excited, I was in the championship! I…

    Brooks Bridge

    The moment I picked up my phone I knew something was wrong. The tone of my friend Danny’s voice sounded very grave and worn. The reason why followed in lowly uttered words. “CJ is in the hospital.” In sort of a daze I rushed to the hospital and found a way into the Intensive Care Unit. There in the bed was my friend with two broken arms and internal damage to his kidneys. At his side sat his mom. When I asked what happened, she said that Cj was hit off of Brooks Bridge by a drunk driver. A thirty-foot fall into the ground below, landing in the grass. Cj was two-inches away from the stone hard concrete that could’ve ended his life.…

    Personal Narrative: My Uncle Mike Has Affected My Family

    I first heard the horrific news in the middle of summer. That day, my dad was driving me over to my mom’s house, and I knew something was wrong when he told me with a deliberate expression, “Your mom was coming home early from her work trip this week due to a family emergency.” As a result, I became very concerned to hear what has happened. Once we arrived at my mom’s house I quickly noticed tears in her eyes. She sat my sisters and I down on the couch, and told us sorrowfully, “Your Uncle Mike passed away this morning. He woke up today, and couldn’t breathe, so Aunt Sue took him to the emergency room, and they couldn’t keep him alive.”…

    Personal Narrative: Playing On The Baseball Field

    I had just finished my freshman year of high school, now playing on my school’s summer baseball team. It was a perfect summer night on the baseball field; playing against one of the teams I disliked the most, Ava. It was always a close game playing them; they had good players who always played hard. Going into the 7th inning the game was tied, three to three. I came up to the plate wanting to help my team win the game. As the pitch came in my eyes lit up, it was a fastball right down the middle. I swung and hit the ball into left field.…
