Personal Narrative: Moving States
Who could've thought moving states could cause such a change? I never knew it could… this much. As the for sale was ripped out of my yard, we returned back into my previous house. This was the day we moved to hot and big Texas. We hauled all our boxes, big and small, short and tall, into the moving truck. “Let's go,” my mom yelled. We started our journey to Texas, and I could already feel sorrow in my heart.

As we arrived to the gigantic airport in Orlando, we walked onto our flight, and I felt a feeling of sadness but also joy to move to Texas, meet new people, and do new things! When we landed in Texas, I gazed out on the unfamiliar place and pondered, “ Where are the cacti and sand dunes?’’ This was when I realized that Texas isn't what

    Santa Catharina-Personal Narrative Analysis

    All my life I have lived Pearl, MS. I never went out of state for vacation, even though I have always wanted to travel and explore the world. Ever since I was little, I have always wanted to go to my parent’s hometown: Santa Catharina, OA. My parents would always show me pictures and videos of their hometown that infatuated me. I would constantly ask my parents to take me, until they finally took me on thanksgiving break. When I arrived to Santa Catharina, I did not expect to see the immense amount of difference that I perceived. The city of Pearl has different geography, cars, and opportunities from Santa…

    Outline: Demographics

    Whenever there is the mention of the great State of Texas, one tends to automatically visualize a sweltering hot, baron wasteland, saturated with 6-foot rattlesnakes, enormous oil wells, and handsome cowboys galloping on horses, with a six shooter attached to their hip. Few people are aware that deep in the heart of Texas, there is a paradise known as the Hill Country,…

    Personal Narrative: Change

    Change. From the first breath inhaled to the last, we change hundreds, thousands, of millions of times throughout the entirety. These changes may not always be so obvious, whereas others are blaringly distinct. Change is inevitable, especially as the environment, technology, economy, and people develop. Us, human beings, we are flexible, able to adapt and survive. However, as we adapt to these changes, we can not let these changes compromise our beliefs and principles by which we abide and hold close to our hearts.…

    Personal Narrative: The Progressive Tradition

    Even generations ago, my family members realized how difficult it was to fit in time to see distant family members. That’s why since my great grandmother was around, we’ve spent one day during the holiday season participating in what we call The Progressive. As the tradition goes, each family is required to prepare one part of the traditional five course meal, the assignment of which rotates between the families each year. Each family prepares their part of the meal and hosts it at their home, allowing the entire family to visit everyone’s home and “progress” through one giant five course meal throughout the course of the day. It has, without a doubt, provided some of my family’s favorite stories throughout the years while allowing us to reflect on the year’s past with each other. Although it has been around since my grandparents were children, it has changed drastically since it’s inception those many years ago.…

    U.s. State and North Dakota

    North Dakota is not one of those glamorous states that everyone wants to go to. It is not even one of the top forty-nine states on most people’s list. It was at the top of the list for my family, though. Out of all the states that we have been to as a family, somehow we skipped over North Dakota, so we made it our mission last summer to hit this elusive state that we missed. Our vacation was very special to me, not only because North Dakota was the last state that we had not been to, but also because the road trip there was full of thrilling stops and adventures, and the long trip in our tiny twenty-four foot camper helped my family come closer to one another (both figuratively and literally).…

    Personal Narrative: Where The Sidewalk Ends

    I always keep this poem and picture in my wallet. I take it everywhere with me because it means quite a lot to me in two very different ways. One of those ways is because it holds sentimental value. When I was younger I learned to read very late in life and I was always so embarrassed of that. My father knew that I was struggling and bought me the book, Where the Sidewalk Ends. It is a book full of poems and little pictures written by Shel Silverstein. I remember opening the book to ta random page, and it was the page with this poem. I then remember my dad asking me to read it to him. I was so uncomfortable, even thought I was just going to be reading to my dad. He gave me some words of encouragement, and even thought I was not able to read…

    Personal Narrative: The Walking Path

    I was in at Save-A-Lot a couple of weeks ago and while I was in line to check out, I overheard a lady talk about a man that was following her on the walking path behind my house. She was talking about how this man would follow her for a couple hundred feet then stop, completely strip down, and would start performing sexual acts on himself. She said that she doesn’t feel comfortable walking on the walking path anymore. We need to take action to stop these things from happening and make the walking path safer.…

    Personal Narrative: Moving To The Blue Road

    Last year, I was driving to home after work. It was 5 pm and the interstate 65 South was packed up with traffic. The traffic was moving at very slow rate, and it was stopping at times. I was in the middle line when the traffic stopped, I as looking to by back mirror when suddenly I saw this Blue truck coming up at high speed, behind me, the line was stopped, he was coming to fast to be able and stop on time. I knew the blue truck was going to crash my car on the rear end. Quickly, by instinct I looked in both sides, to my right side the line was full of cars, it was not moving, so it was no way to move there. When I looked to the left line there was enough space for me to move to that side, but a sport yellow car was coming very fast, I tough I may had enough time to move to the left side line without this car crashing me, but I was not sure about…

The entire world is currently under the grasp of Mistress Ice, inside her Nation or so-called kingdom. My job is simple, go kill her and save the Earth.

    Informative Speech

    Have you ever been on a family trip and wondered if there was anything fun to do? Of course you have, who hasn’t? Well, if you are traveling across Texas, there are hundreds of places for you to tour, sit down and have a meal, or take a crazy picture. Texas is home to over 24 million people and hundreds of roadside attractions. However, what makes Texas’s attractions stand out among all the rest? For starters, Texas is home to the 2nd largest Fire Hydrant in Beaumont, the biggest pilgrim head in Pittsburg, and a replica of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Nevertheless, these landmarks do not even scratch the surface on how bizarre, big, and jaw dropping Texas’s attractions truly are. Texas is the one place where you can eat a 72-ounce steak in Amarillo, tour a museum filled with decorative toilet seats in San Antonio, and feed a beer-drinking goat in Lajitas. Wow, what a state!…

    The Summer Escape

    The Summer Escape

    My family has always looked forward to leaving Florida during the torrid summer months. It is a tremendous relief to get out of the heated hustle and bustle of summer living in Florida. Each summer, we follow the yellow brick road to our hometown in upstate New York. As we drive through state after state, it becomes apparent that the world around us is changing. In South Carolina, we already begin to notice changes. The trees appear to be touchable, offering soft, plush leaves which sway in the breeze, and the grass actually invites us to share its place rather than scaring us away with mounds of intruding fire ants. As each state brings new surroundings, our anticipation builds, and home seems closer all the time. Leaving the flatlands and entering an area where we are suddenly surrounded by hills of purple and blue are by far the most awakening moments. Virginia and Pennsylvania offer brilliant scenery with majestic hills and checkerboard farmlands. As we descend through the curves and winds of the northern region of the United States, home is now very close: we are almost there. Suddenly, we have driven from wide-open flatlands to a narrow, winding road surrounded by hillsides of stone and trees. Around every curve, orange and black tiger lilies claim their place in the world as they push themselves out toward the car, waving hello and flashing their mysterious black spots toward us as we drive by. The journey home is almost complete. As we begin our final descent through the state of Pennsylvania into upstate New York, the surroundings become comfortably familiar. Before long, we are welcomed by a sign that reads “Waverly, 18 miles” and the familiar fields of grazing cattle. Through the last stretch of Pennsylvania, the bursting foliage seems to envelop us and carry us over the hills like a carriage created by nature. It is at this point that our family, even the youngest member, knows that our vacation in New York is about to begin. Our eldest…
