Personal Narrative: The Time I Went To Florida
The Time I Went to Florida

It was a hot, steamy morning in early June during the summer of 2015. I was rapidly packing things in my suitcase, more than ready to be in Florida with a few of my friends and my family. I was being allowed to live in Florida for the whole summer at my Uncle’s house. I was extremely excited and happy to get out of Indiana for a few months.
“Lorin! Are you ready to head to the airport?” I heard my mom call up the stairs. I grabbed my suitcases and headed down the stairs, trying not to fall as the suitcases were heavier than anything I’ve ever carried. As I walked out of my front door to my mom’s car, my brother shot me a dirty look. I laughed.
“What was that for?” I said to him as I was putting my suitcases in the back of the car.
“I can’t believe mom and dad are letting you go to Florida and not me. This is so unfair.” he said back to me,

The person sitting next to me was around my age. We said hi to each other and actually became pretty close acquaintances. He told me his name was Jaden and that he was going to Florida, too. We didn’t talk the whole way to Florida but we talked for a good amount of time. Other than talking to Jaden, I listened to music and watched movies that I had downloaded the previous night on my phone. Jaden and I exchanged numbers so we could keep in touch. To this day we still talk from time to time.
Arriving safely in Florida felt amazing. My mom had told me my aunt and uncle would be waiting to pick me up and drive me to their house. They had a guest bedroom waiting to be my room for the whole summer. I said bye to my new friend Jaden and got off the plane. I made sure I had all of my luggage and that nothing has been removed. I walked to where my aunt and uncle said they would meet me. I was new to this airport so it was hard for me to find where anything was. I eventually ended up finding them of course, but I had to ask several people for

Not all people in the world get to experience flying, so I thought I was pretty lucky to get to enjoy this experience.…

When I started my journey to America, I was getting mixed feelings, one side I was excited to go to America I saw in movies and wanted to be a part of great American culture but on the other side I was feeling sad about leaving behind my friends and place I was born and spent my childhood. But when Pilot announced that we are about to reach to Houston in 30 minutes I got anxious and opened my seat window.

    I have lived all my life in sunny Florida. I have always been a little different. While most of my friends were playing basketball or baseball I was tinkering with electronics and repairing or improving any item that came my way. I learned a lot from my older brother, who taught me everything I know about computers and technology. When I was a sophomore in high school, my brother and I worked together to build my own gaming computer. I have had a passion to learn as much as I can, so that I can be the best that I can possibly be. I was bullied as a child for being different, but I knew that if I pushed on, I could achieve my…

    I am a true Floridian born and raised for the first fourteen years of my life in Homestead, Florida. My childhood growing up was difficult due to my mother’s breast cancer diagnosis, which profoundly affected my life. Being an only child and the thought of possibly losing my mother to cancer was devastating, especially since my father was absent the majority of my life. During my middle school years, I struggled so my mother decided to homeschool me. In 2011, my family relocated to Lakeland, Florida and I entered high school at Victory Christian Academy developing new friendships along with fond memories. Following graduation in 2015, the next year of my life was spent contemplating decisions on whether to register for college or obtain…

    One morning a long time ago, my mom woke me up early. “It’s time to go,” she said. Go, go where I asked? “Today, we are moving to Florida,” she said. My big brown eyes began to fill up with hot salty tears. I don’t want to go, I said over and over again. You and your sibling are going to be moving to Florida with me. Again, I cried aloud, I don’t want to go. Who will take care of me? Where will I sleep? And what will I eat and drink? Consequently, all of my pleas for mercy to reside longer with my daddy was ignored, and apparently fell on deaf ears.…

    One day, while I was laying peacefully on my bed, my mother came in with a letter from Florida A&M University. I didn't really want to speculate anything because a few days before I received a letter from another college saying that I wasn't accepted. Nevertheless I was still excited when I opened it and even more so when I read that I had been accepted. So without much hesitation I packed up and headed to Tallahassee. When I arrived my mother and I took care of registration and a plethora of things you have to manage as a new student. After all the hassles of college registration were completed my mother departed for home and I was left by myself to attend college. What a great feeling! Little did I know what I had on store for the next day, my first in college.…

    The event that I choose to follow summer fest was a simple and casual visit to the wellness and recreational center, fancy way of saying the gym. Upon my first ever visit to Florida International University I still remember at our freshmen orientation entering the gym and thinking to myself this seems like a place that I will be visiting often during my four year tenure at school. And boy was I right, the facility was clean and professional looking very much like a professional gym would appear, the staff where all kind and ready to assist you if help was ever necessary, something that I truly valued. I was extremely exited to take a spinning class at the FIU gym, I had only ever heard positive reviews and I was looking forward to the experience as well. Personally I am obsessed with fitness so any class, or activity is something that I love to experience which is what drove me to experience the class myself, and did, I love it. When I got out of that class I was sweating so much, I felt like I had gone on a run around the world and it so amazing, the instructor knew exactly what she was doing and had no problem helping you out if you needed it, the music was fun and exiting extremely up tempo. Overall I can only rave about the experience, it was positive and motivational. It has truly inspired me to no matter how stressed I may be I can always go down to the gym and relieve my stress while gaining a benefit as well.…

    Going on a vacation is something we all look forward to, especially when you get to spend time with family and experience something unique. My family and I go to the beaches in Florida every summer and spend time relaxing and enjoying our time together, away from school and work. To get away from our normal plans, we decided to book a cruise for the Thanksgiving holiday. We had never taken a cruise and thought it would be a unique experience to share with one another and a way to see a place we had never visited, the Bahamas. My trip to Nassau, Bahamas was a great experience and led to the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, the beaches. I spent two days on a cruise ship and I thought that was the highlight of my vacation, until I arrived in Nassau and saw the beautiful beaches.…
