Personal Narrative: The Monkey Bars
The Monkey Bars I was in the second grade when all of this had happen. It was a bright sunny day in afternoon recess. Gunner decided he was going to be mean that day...he just chose the wrong girl, which happened to be my best friends, Rylie Knox. Gunner started to pick on her, which I did NOT like at all, it made me angry. When this was happening, Rylie and Gunner were on the ground and I was on the monkey bars. I was thinking if I should do the thing I’m about to do, then the next thing I knew. I was on Gunner, realizing that I just jumped on him and hearing him yell to get off of him. I didn’t necessarily feel bad about what I did, I was actually proud of myself that I had the courage to do such a thing. The one thing that it taught me

    I was a cross country runner for all four years of my high school career. Regardless of how many races I ran, each one was just as nerve racking as the first. It has been years since I have ran a cross country race, but I can still relive the memory like it was yesterday. Cross country was not just a sport for me; it was exhilarating and challenging. The crowds of supporters swarmed together between the bright green hills and waited on the soft turf of the golf course for the race to start. I remember standing at the starting line, waiting in anticipation for the ear-splitting crack of the gun, and the light floating smell of gun powder. I could almost feel the anxious and pounding heart beats of the runners around me. My muscles were taut…

Ever since that event, I now have a starfish mark on the side of my right thumb from where the stiches were.…

    As I was writing my personal narrative for my composition 1 class, it easily made my mind boggle. After I had got started on my personal narrative, it was easy for me to keep writing and keep following along the story line. The main strength of mine that the essay played to was my creativity and my flexibility for different writings, because I have never written an essay as serious and sad as this one, but I did have to add my happy ending when I finished the story. I wanted it to be very attention grabbing with a twist, but I also wanted it to be very emotional.…

    Yet another Thanksgiving, and I was stuck in my uncle’s basement watching the Redskins face off the Dallas Cowboys. Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, and various other famous athletes all grinned at me from their respective Wheaties boxes, seemingly mocking my pain. My uncle collected them and, for some reason, had decided the bright orange boxes would be a great decorative addition to the basement wall behind the television. I remember once, when I was younger, I was searching for a movie to watch and I accidentally brushed against a limited edition Michael Jordan box. The box began to teeter, and I immediately knew that I was doomed. All the boxes began to fall like dominos to the floor. My uncle, needless to say, was furious. Thus, it was seemingly fitting that the offended boxes, now realigned on the wall, would have the privilege to witness my torture by football.…

    Starting from a place I remembered as a teen, moving from a place that was warm to a place that had all four seasons; such as winter, spring, summer and fall. The First place that I grew up was surrounded by mountains. During the winter it was full of white snow, something that I was never used to seeing coming from California where all one would see was sandy beaches and the waves clasping one another. As I remember being so new to Park City, UT all I could see was the wonderful views of trees, mountains and people skiing or snowboarding. I have to say this was a fond memory because for the firs time I was actually able to experience the feeling of what winter was…

I was so furious but it was morning so I thought i was dreaming. Once I found out it was real and not a nightmare I ignored my dad which only lasted for about 30 minutes. Me being the 6 year old I was I couldn't ignore my parents or hold a grudge for long. My parents drove me to Nike Outlet and got me my basketball shoes and my black and pink elite socks. I have to admit the best part was picking out the shoes. Still to this day I remember them. They were black and pink nike hyper dunks. My dad let me keep the shoes if I went to the practice.

    Football has always been a big part of my life. As a young boy I would day dream of making insane touchdowns, making tackles that would leave man stuck in the ground, and even winning the heisman trophy. In 7th grade I had begged my mother endlessly to sign me up for pee wee football because she would always worry about the risks of football. After finally getting her to sign me up, we went straight into the season. I chose to play running back because as a 12-year-old I was remarkably fast having timed 5.3 in the 40 yard-dash. After a few weeks in the season we approached the playoffs and found out our opponent for the first round of the playoffs were the jaguars who were undefeated. Our team didn’t have the best chemistry on…
