Memorable Experience
There has been many good and many bad things in my life. Although it was only at the age of five, I will always remember when my godfather David passed away. My mom dad and I lived together with David in Mathews, Virginia. I was always with him and would never leave his side; I was more attached to him than I was to my father. We did everything together we went to the playground, he took me to work with him, and we would take our dog on walks. He was the most special person to me, and I will always have a burning hole in my heart without him by my side. It was my birthday, May 18th, 2002 and my family would always take me out to dinner on my birthday. The whole day I couldn’t wait for David to get home so we could get ready together for dinner, I hadn’t seen him all day because he had work, and I had school. When he arrived at our house as usual he came to my room and gave me the biggest bear hug, David said, “Are you ready for our dinner sweetheart.” I said, “Yes, I’ve been waiting all day I’m so excited to go.” So we both got ready for dinner, I chose to eat a Ruby Tuesdays because when I was that age it was my favorite restaurant. Before we went to dinner mom, dad, and David gave me the presents that they had gotten me, of course I was thankful for everything I had gotten. Mom, dad, and I drove separately from David; he rode his motorcycle. We had the best time at dinner, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I loved eating out away from home, and it was always a big treat to me. Since it was my birthday I ordered a steak, the staff surprised me by singing Happy Birthday and bringing me a free piece of delicious chocolate lava cake. Chocolate lava cake happened to be my favorite dessert so you could not imagine the happiness it brought me for them to surprise me with it. Afterward, we all went to Walmart and David told me I could pick out one toy from the toy isle, and he would buy it for me. This treatment was nothing out of the ordinary David always

    The Glass Castle Theme

    That was the day that my grandpa passed away. Every single part of that date is engrained in my memory. My parents had driven up to Wisconsin, and my older sister Lauren drove home for college to stay with me. It wasn’t out of the normal for my parents to quickly leave, so I didn’t think much of it. I remember going to hang out with Tatum, my best friend of the time. It was a nice day outside, so of course we were outside playing on the trampoline and doing all our weird routines like we always did. Her family, who was like a second family to me, decided to go out to eat so they brought me along. We went to La Charitas. I remember how Mrs. Teeple pulled out a funny card game for us to play, and I remember Tatum cutting out faces in her tortilla, making us all laugh. When we got back to the house we saw that my sister called, so I said bye to the Teeples and walked one minute down the road to my house. Lauren, who is one of the most emotional in the family, was left with the task of telling me that my grandpa had passed away. I had just grabbed a snack of chocolate cheerios as she started to tell me the news. I didn’t know how to react, so I ran into the basement directly to the furthest corner I could find. Lauren tried talking to me, but I wanted to be by myself. One of the hardest things I have ever done was talking to my dad on the phone after finding out. He called to tell me the plans, that he was coming home to get us, and…

    Monologue About Moving Away

    I had just gotten home from school and I was carrying a small bag of presents my two closest friends gifted me. That day started off better than any of my other birthday’s by said friends decorating my locker as a surprise. I remember stepping into the living room and instantly facing a 180 mood swing. I was having that feeling you get when you’re excited to eat leftovers of your favorite food, but then quickly remember the food was never there. Meanwhile, my Mom was feeling a typical case of motherly nosiness and asked what was inside the bag.…

    remembered event

    So, as I said it was the middle of my senior year. I was out with my best friends, Elana, her little sister Alyssa, and Nicole. We were all out, enjoying our day out, with the sun in our hair, the nice breeze flowing through our hair, and the loud hip hop music blasting some Taylor Swift track. We got to Elana’s house and decide to swim in her pool and relax on this nice day during the week. It was a very nostalgic day, despite what happens later that night. After the pool, we sit in Elana’s room and talk about life and the boys we are currently talking to. We then decide to watch a movie and order pizza. It was perfect. The atmosphere of being with my closest friends was the best feeling of my life. As we talked and giggled, danced, sang and watched movies together we just lived life just cause we can.…

    Epiphany

    Usually by the time I get home from work and picking up the kids, it is late and I do not feel like taking the time to actually cook a meal. One evening we got home earlier than we usually do so I decided to fix dinner, sit down and actually eat as a family. I can remember myself standing in front of the stove thinking of the frustrating long day of work I had, getting aggravated because the kids were running around the house. The kids were playing and being loud which is what a 4 year old boy and 4 year old girl would do. Then it suddenly becomes quiet and Patrick comes to me and says “Mommy, you know what?” I say with an annoyed tone of voice “What Patrick?” He says “your superman.” I picked him up and gave him a big hug. In that moment I realized that out of all that has happened to me in my life, I am truly grateful that I have my children and that I am actually a better person because God brought them into my life.…

    Quinceanera: Girl and Surprise Dance

    It was Saturday morning; the big day was finally here. I woke up feeling nervous thinking I might trip walking down the aisle. I ate cereal, and quickly put on some pants and a sweater to get my hair done. My mom had made me an appointment to get my hair done. I went for the half do hairstyle, curls on the bottom and flower curled bun on the top of my hair. Around 11am I was getting pedicure and manicure. Eventually, I was home to put on my light pink dress. It was a heart shaped dress, with jewels on the bottom of the dress. The excitement of getting glamorous was an awesome feeling.…

    Personal Narrative

    The day after Thanksgiving on November 23, 2012 the Davidson’s decided to have a “Thanksday Dinner” where everyone brought leftovers from the day before and we sat around the table and talked. Ashton brought his video camera to document the experience; so he set it on top of the fireplace mantle of the club house we rented. That day just happened to be my birthday so trying to avoid the subject I helped set up chairs and tables and arrange the food in a way that would save the most room. After every one arrived we lined up to get the food and chowed down on our food. It wasn’t really eventful so we moved on to my favorite; pumpkin pie. Ryan really likes whipped cream on his pie so he goes and gets the cream, and then BAM! Leighton (my granddaughter) jumps up so fast and climbs over the counter like a ninja to stop Ryan from getting the whipped cream. So we eat our pie and we went around the table saying what we are thankful for, we went through the usual with our family with items like: toilet paper, electricity, etc. When they finally cracked down we started over and it was way emotional for some people and everyone was crying. We decided to do a “Davidson cinnamon roll”, it’s where everyone holds hands and on one side they start rolling into the middle pulling people into the big swirl. We all toppled over eventually. After that we were all hyped up from the pie and we turned on some music from my kindle and started a conga line. When we finished our conga line we changed into our swim-suits so we could go sit in the hot tub and relax. Well, then somebody got the bright idea of jumping in the pool (with the heater off for winter) and run back to the hot tub. So they jump off and “SPLASH” they are in the freezing water! My granddaughter and I didn’t want to jump into the pool so we thought “hey, might as well ease our way into it right?” we got to the top of our rib cage and ran back to the hot tub. It was way too cold!! After that almost everyone changed back…

    Dont Judge a Book by Its Cover

    The day before my twenty-fifth birthday three of my girlfriends and I decided to go out for a pre-birthday celebration. There was a big party planned the following night, and we knew that we would not have a lot of time to hang out together. We got all dressed up and went to our favorite sports bar, George’s. I guess we could be considered regulars, and because of that, we knew a lot of the people there that night. As we sat around our table, listening to music and talking, several people came over to the table to give me birthday wishes since they would not be attending the party the next night. About halfway through the evening, a friend of mine named Chuck came over to say hello because we had not seen each other in quite some time. He had been out of town visiting family in Huntsville, Texas. He told…

    A Memorable Event a Memorable Moment

    The day started off as any other normal day but I would soon find out that this day was different. Like any other teenager I loved going out with my friends and so like any other Friday evening I was going out with my friends. I was going to go to my friend’s house to pick him up and we were then going to get something to eat. I got to his house picked him up and we left to go get something to eat. We were halfway there when I got a phone call from one of my other friends that he wanted to come along too and so I turned the car around still on the phone and stopped at a red light. As soon as I came to a full stop two men on a motorcycle stopped in front of my car and one of the men had a gun in his hand. The man with the gun ran up to my slightly cracked window and yelled “Open the f’n window.” At this point I didn’t fully understand what was going on so I closed my window. The man then pointed the gun at me and started screaming, “open the window or…

    A Memorable Moment

    During the month of October in Santa Fe, New Mexico, all the schools were preparing for another season of basketball. It’s a year that everyone looks forward to; all the athletes, coaches, spectators, and supporters. The girls’ basketball team at my school was very good and over the years I’ve heard growing up that it’s a lot of hard work and also how the coaches set very high standards for their players. In addition, the girls’ basketball team won a state championship the year before, and they wanted to do it again. Hearing all those stories in the past never bothered me, but when I heard the announcement “Girls Basketball will be having tryouts this week, afterschool from 3:30- 5:00pm and make sure you bring all paperwork with you or you will not be able to tryout”, made me feel very nervous. The girl’s voice was very straight forward, which gave me chills down my back as I was sitting in class not even paying attention to what the teacher was saying. Throughout the day I had so many questions that I began to doubt myself. I had questions like; what if I don’t make varsity? What if someone else gets chosen over me? What if someone is better than me?…
