Personal Narrative: Rodanthe Beach

Moreover we went to ziplines in the moutains of cancun. The ziplines took about 2 hours to get to because we had to go all the way up a mountain.We got to the ziplines and got our helmets

As I road into town, brushing the dust off my Stetson, I sighed in relief. The dusty trails of Texas can really take a tole on a man. I was tired, and made my way straight to the Golden Coral Inn. I hadn’t heard much of the happenings of this town and was curious, but being a man of few words, I decided to just sit back in the lounge and listen to what was to be said. It was interesting, as talk up this way normally is. I heard there was a range war goin’ on a little ways out of town, between an old timer and a stronger, more powerful ranch. The bigger ranch, the Circle J, was wantin’ the land that the little ranch had. The littler ranch, the T Bar, wasn’t sellin’ though. He was gettin’ his cows rustled and every other dirty trick in the book. I was about to head up to my room when I heard a name that stopped me dead in my tracks: Tom Wesley.

I live on Turtle Point Cove in North Ridge, it's just a little bit into Saltillo. I’ve grown up in that house. I live next to my close friends. I live near my cousins, they live just a couple houses down from us. Almost every weekend we all have a cookout and we either go to my friends house or ours, since we are next door neighbors if never matters whose house it’s at.

East Coast is known for so many different things; people, history, fashion, stores, and heritage. But the most recent trend is desserts. Desserts can be sweet, savory, healthy or unhealthy. Desserts make people feel happy especially east coasters.

While I was a kid my family and I used to go on bike rides all the time to anywhere you could think of. We would go boating everyday in the summer. We would ski, wakeboard, go tubing and many more. Go tubing was one of the funniest memories I have boating because the thrill you get is unbeatable trying to hold on for dear life. Anothering thing we did as a family was go on vacation everywhere. The road trips were always fun because we would bring our dog turbo. The one trip that will never be forgotten is North Carolina. We go there every year with family friends and it will be a trip on go on with my kids.

Everyone has a different perspective on what their special place would be some might be their back yard while for others it could be in a different city that they visit often or a vacation home. For me it would be in Miami,FL.I consider it to be my special place because of the food,music,South Beach,and family .Many people know of South beach due to a lot of movies being filmed there. While for others, such as myself ,were born and raised there.If someone ever gets the opportunity to visit they should take it.

The thing that I miss most about summer is King's island. I had a pass so I could go when I wanted to and it was always a fun time. It is a good time to hang out with friends and go on rides. My favorite ride there is the beast because it isn’t too bumpy and it has a ton of sharp turns and caves. It also is slightly scary with all of the fake warning signs. The food at Kings Island is also decent so I wouldn’t have to go get lunch. If I get tired of the rides then I can go on the water rides and the wave pool. The water rides don’t usually have the longest of lines if you get there early but if not then they are worth it. My favorite overall is the Tropical Plunge. This ride has the drop shoot, You stand in a vertical tube and you wait for the countdown and the floor drops underneath your feet. You then shoot down the tube and you make it to the end. All of these factors make Kings Island a very fun place, and the thing that I miss the most from summer.

There I was sitting in the tender, which has just set off from the Veendam, hoping not to

The United States has always been “home” to me because I feel that I am a bit of the quintessential American story. I was born to immigrants hoping for a better opportunity than what was offered from their third world home country. I was raised and went to school here, which blended many of my parent’s home culture and the new American culture. As I have matured, I have noticed how much my life has been influenced by society’s opportunities and issues. The American character is the crossroads of opportunity, struggle, and hopefulness because the it is not only a reflection of the founding father’s ideas, but also a reflection of minorities who have interjected their experiences that shaped my American journey.

It was October 24th, 2012, when my sister and I were watching the news. We sighed as the waves we once played in had destroyed the beach house that belonged to our beloved grandma. The boardwalk we once walked with our family was destroyed. The rides we once road were in the water. Our hearts broke as we watched the pine tree my grandfather once planted sway back and forth. How could Mother Nature destroy the places we have vivid memories of?

Two years ago, my family did not know what to do on vacation at Key West, so my dad started looking for activities. We've already done all the main activities, like walking down Duval Street. While looking, my dad found snorkeling, and the whole family liked the idea. The next day we rode on a boat with two instructors/guides and their pet cat. We started out to the reef where our snorkeling session would occur. We put on our wetsuits and our snorkel masks, and when we jumped in the ocean, the water felt awfully cold even with our swimsuits on. We then had to swim to the reef because the boat could not come too close to it. When we finally arrived at the reef, I became a bit nervous due to the closeness of the reef to my body (about 2 feet

A few years back my mom and I went to Florida to go visit her mom, aunt, uncle, and cousin. We had taken a plane to Orlando where they live and her mom (my grandma) picked us up. It was about a 20 minute drive to her house and when we got there we basically just partied. We hung out, went to beaches, cooked out, and just had fun. After about 4 days of doing that, my great aunt said that we should go to Miami beach. So we called another one of my mom’s relatives to see if we could stay at her house for the night and when she gave us the yes we packed, got in the car, and took off. We had gotten to Miami and it was pretty cool. We had walked around a bit and went to a sandwich shop famous for reubens. After that we went

Waves are crashing, and surfers are out. Huge water giants in the distance, and they are making a strong force of ripples in the direction of the shore. Me and my family have arrived. "It's Myrtle Beach!" I said. We browse the streets for our reserved hotel. We have arrived. The Sea Breeze Hotel, a cute little hotel, too. Everyone sits in the KIA, as my father heads in to check in with the front desk. He leaves the vehicle, and enters. A large amount of time passed, especially for check-ins. Ten minutes? My dad then exits the building, as I get ready to leap out the car, stretch my back, and get luggage. But then we all notice his concerned, yet serious, look. He enters the black SUV. My mother tells us all that they misheard him on the phone, and reserved a room with two beds, instead of four or five. We browsed the city streets, past dark, looking for vacant hotels. Spotted! We find a rather expensive hotel, but at least we have a roof over our head for tonight. We check-in, and get a perfect room. We pack-up, and take our space. We all slept well, with the ocean waves crashing on shore, and the gentle sea breeze through the balcony.

When I turned back in the direction of my group, they were gone! I started to panick and began swimming in that direction franticly. How could I lose my group? I thought. I started to slow down only to spot a colorful coral reef. I’ve never actually stopped by one so I don’t really know what it’s like. Me being my curious self, decided to go for it. As I was swimming toward the reef, I saw a tuna fish.

I headed out to the water after setting up my towel. The shock of the frigid water took my breath away and I was momentarily stunned. However, I quickly recovered; finding my body adjusts rapidly to the cold water. I waded a few feet into it before leaning forward and swimming out. I didn't dare to go too far though, instead turning to swim parallel to the shore. I was comforted by the sounds of the ocean; the rhythmic pounding of the waves represses all of my worries. I looked into the cloudless cerulean blue sky and see the perfection of life. Just when I was starting to get tired and wanted to go back to the shore, I saw something.
