Personal Narrative-Heading In Hockey
Heading towards a Hockey game one Saturday afternoon, my friends and I decided to take the fastest route to beat rush hour. My good friend Anna was driving her luxurious Lexus and I was seating on the passenger seat. While my friends, Emily and Dakota were in the back seat. We were listening and singing along to the popular song by Justin Bieber “Sorry”. Anna was using the GPS on her smart phone and at the same time, she decided to snapchat the moment. She was recording the sing-along while driving 65 M/Hr down six avenue. Suddenly, a big GMC truck rushes from the emerging lane and cuts right in front of us, Anna’s phone flew towards the windshield and she completely lost control of the steering wheel. For a second, I thought we were going

    There are some spots that are hard to skate and I couldn't really skate well and no matter how hard I try I can't land it. There's some stuff I can do and I practice all the time to make sure I can get better I may not be the best, but I try my hardest on skating.Occasionally it's difficult to ride or it's not working out on what you want, but friends help me to do new tricks and that's why on hard spots I try my hardest even if I get a scrape or even a bruise may even have a broken bone but there's always going to be something hard to do but doesn't mean it's impossible the day could be hot or cold making it difficult to skate in but there's always a different spot.…

    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…

    About an hour and a half into our drive we hit a little bit of traffic. Lauren’s mom looked to be in a rush. She became a little impatient and weaved around the other cars. Eventually, we navigated around the large cluster of cars that were causing the traffic. We were traveling about 65-70 in the right lane. There was a Jeep diagonally behind us in the left lane. Laurens mom wanted to around the car that…

    We were almost through the state of North Carolina as we traveled on Interstate 95. It was rush hour and you could tell everyone was antsy and excited to get home. Cars traveled at 80 miles per hour, and some were even traveling faster than that. I could now see why it was ranked the fifth worst highway in North America. Cars were weaving in and out of traffic at over 90 miles per hour. Traffic was getting heavy. Listening to the radio, my dad and I sang along to a familiar song we both knew, “Yeah” by Usher. “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!”, we both sang while he drove. My dad always loved this song, so we had the radio turned almost all the way up. The song ended and we turned the radio down. We had already been on the road for ten hours so we were beginning to get a little tired. It was almost 5:00 in the evening and we did not eat lunch, so we were both getting hungry as well. “Where do you want to stop for dinner?”, I asked him. My dad looked at the food signs next to the highway as I looked up places on my phone where we could grab a bite. Just as I was about to name off a few places where we could go, my phone flew out of my hand and my head jolted forward.…

    A little over a year ago I was a senior in high school, leaving school with the weekend ahead of me, ready to unwind, and enjoy the night with my friends. On my trip home my mother called me and asked if I could go out of my way to pick my sister up from school; reluctantly, I tell her that I will. Before that call my friends and I had established that I would be driving us to the senior class tailgate before the football game that night. Wanting to get to the tailgate faster, I begin to force my foot on the gas pedal a little more, without thinking about the consequences of my risk. Suddenly, I look back in my rear view mirror and see the dreaded red, blue, and white lights flashing. I look down at my speedometer and realize…

    I stayed in the left lane and was behind an old, slow-moving, flaked dark-green Chevrolet. The license plate was “MY-57”. Maybe his turn signal lights weren’t working, I don’t know, but suddenly he stopped. The right lane wasn’t busy, but I stopped so close to that car that I couldn’t pass him in right lane. Behind me was a yellow, 40-foot school bus with a woman driver so, of course, I couldn’t back up. I did not realize that the Chevy driver had wanted to make a left turn and so I had to wait for…

    I’ve never been known to be athletic. Most of my friends are quite the athletes and many of them are at D1 schools playing what they’re good at. Typically, athletes begin at a very young age and become skilled at their sport. Unfortunately, I was not raised to be an athlete; my parents never enforced it and at the time I never asked. It bothers me that they never thought of letting me try soccer, basketball, swimming, or gymnastics. However, I took matters into my own hands and tried out for Field Hockey.…

    I have been skating since I was four, barely clinging on to the walls back then. My dad used to take my sister Daisy and me to a skating rink almost every weekend in the winter. We taught ourselves how to skate fast, stop, and whatever else. However, it wasn’t until the end of seventh grade that we finally decided to take lessons. One March morning my dad drove us to an unknown rink. Pulling our skating bags onto the bleachers to tie them, we looked around at the busy rink. Finally it was time to go on. I hesitantly skated on to the ice, my sister a few strokes behind me. A girl in front of me wobbled towards her coach, her head barely as high as my knee. Pausing to look around the rink, I noticed an ocean of children much shorter than I, either jumping or spinning expertly. I looked over at Daisy, noticing that she and I stuck out, being the same height as the coaches. Daisy looked both confused and hopeless, also noticing the age gap and the skills of many of the younger kids. My sister and I were clearly…

    I was almost overwhelmed by fear when my friends car slammed into the car in front of us on the freeway. It was the year 2008 and my friends and i where driving to Oceanside from San diego to go to an concert. It was my friends Candice, Karis, Moline, and Kayla. Kayla was driving with candice in the front seat, Candice was three months pregnant. The rest of us was sitting in the back seat, I was sitting in the middle of Moline and Karis. I had a bad feeling that we wouldn't make it to the concert.The Interstate 5 freeway was pack, bumper to bumper traffic. We were already near Mission Avenue, and the car in front of the car in front of us jammed their brakes which made the car in front of us take the only safe spot on the freeway, in front of us. Kayla had no time to respond and instantly her car plunged into the car in front of us which was an Electric blue PT Cruiser, which pushed that car into another car. The car started smoking profusely. I thought the car was going to blow up so I yelled “ Get out of the car it’s gonna blow up!!” At this point I was the most afraid because i was in the middle of karis and Moline, and they were taking forever to get out. After the girls got out of the car everyone began to panic. I thought to myself, Why is everyone panicking? I noticed Candice crying and yelling, its not moving , she was talking about her baby i also noticed some one was missing. Moline , the foreign exchange student was passed out in the car, I ran to the car and tried to wake her up, she was a lot heavier than me. I finally accomplished getting her to some what stand up so i could guide her away from the car. As I helped her out of the car she started to fall at that point i didn't know what to do so i tried to keep her conscious till the paramedics got there. I began to get frustrated because the clean up crew got the the site of the accident…

    I had just finished my classes and was heading home. I decided to take a different route home. Although it’s a longer route home, I like it because of its beautiful scenery and its twist and turning roads as you cross a hill. It was the typical setting to be accused for a driving offense. The weather was nice and sunny, and there weren’t any cars on the road. Hence I decide to enjoy by speeding around the twist and turning roads. As I speed through each apex, I gain more confident and drove faster. In no time, I reached the top of the hill and began my descend. While I was driving downhill, I saw a police car parked in a small parking lot. Immediately I turn to look at my speedometer which indicated that my…
