Personal Narrative: Blue Lagoon Beach
I put on my shoes, grab my new surfboard that I got for my birthday, and jump in the car. It was still very early in the morning the sun was still behind the clouds and the wind was so cold that it made me shiver. My best friend Ryan is driving the car, Jesse and Jen are sitting behind us, Kanye West’s music is playing loud in the car almost making my ears hurt. I have to admit I feel nervous, maybe I am not ready to go into the water after the accident. But I feel excited at the same time, I feel so much better and I think that it is about time to go into the deep water again. The car ride is silent, probably because everyone is still tired. But Ryan breaks the silence by making a joke "how do people surfing say HI to each other? he answers saying "they Wave!" …show more content…
After a two-hour drive, we finally arrive at our destination I got out of the car and looked around, the beach looks exactly the same. The water is even more crystal blue then I remember, the sun is shining bright that maybe today is going to be the hottest day of the

    I parked my car on Devon Avenue in front of Shore Galleries and took a quick glance through the car window. Shore Galleries sign was attached to the building above the main entrance and windows were completely tinted. Shore Galleries was located next to a dry cleaning business. Unless you knew the nature of business of Shore Galleries, not many people would realize that Shore Galleries is a firearms store with an indoor gun range. I sat in my car for a few minutes to clear my head and thought about things that I should pay a closer attention to once I get inside.…

    She struggles against the ripping force of the ocean current. Her arms are quickly tiring from swimming against it. She relaxes, letting her muscles fall limp. Within seconds, she is pushed out to sea. The people on the beach are so small, little tiny ants against a white sand backdrop. The tall condo skyscrapers are now tiny Lego buildings. The kids hollering and music blasting on the beach is faded like a distant memory. She will die out here, she’s sure of it. Her daughter won’t have a mother’s hand to hold when learning to walk. Her husband will be left a widower, forever broken by the loss of his love. She closes her eyes and accepts her fate as she drifts further out to sea. She floats for a long while, the salinity in the water steadily…

    Screams pierced through the salty, humid, California air. Intimidating rides towered above me, even the thought of riding them terrifying me. Thundering waves crashed as a backdrop for the “Belmont Park” sign that about touched the clouds. Excitement and anticipation coursed through my veins. My palms turned clammy and we made our way through the never ending line to get our tickets. Wafting through the light breeze was the sweet aroma of funnel cakes, cotton candy, and hotdogs. Looking around me I knew one thing, I was determined to go on the three most daunting rides, the Giant Dipper, a hair-raising roller coaster, the Beach Blaster, sickening my stomach at the thought of it and lastly the dark looming room of extreme laser tag.…

    There’s no other place in the world where I feel the most at home than being at Long Beach Island. There you can smell the fresh, salty air of the ocean as the warm breeze brushes across your face. It is a place where the sand, sometimes chilled by the water or boiling hot up in the sand dunes, fiddles its way through your toes one by one sending chills down your spine with every step. Off in the distance you can hear the chiming of bells as the ice cream men call children of all ages to cool themselves off with a frozen treat. This is the place that all summer long, I am lucky to call home.…

    It tasted like fishy beach. Texture-wise, it was firm, it wasn’t too bad, but it tasted like beach. A better way to explain is, when you pick up an old seashell at the beach, and you smell something inside it living. You might think it was a Hermit Crab or something, but it might have been a sushi. After I ate the first one, I couldn’t eat the second one; my parents looked at me as if I was crazy, but it was actually that terrible. When I slid the plate over to my father, he gave my mom and my sister the same exact look.…

    On the second day of school during my sophomore year, I realized how much Wahlert meant to me. It had become my home, the place where I felt like I belonged; school almost even seemed like a break from summer. Over the summer, I had become an empty shell and spent my time at the computer wasting the time away; the only interactions I had were with my family, and on rare occasion with my best friends, when we had sleepovers. To see the people I had missed over the summer was great. All of these things felt so true in that moment.…

    You had insisted for twenty minutes that you should be allowed to join Courtney and Mum at the hospital and you had won. So you are sat wedged between Courtney and a very large blow up dolphin that Dani had asked Mum to buy and it was very uncomfortable. Also, the journey was far longer than you expected. Courtney winced every time the car shook and you start to feel sick again. Mum hums to herself in the front and you wish she would put on the radio or something because the silence in the car is unbearable. You remind yourself that even this dull journey was better than spending another day in the house. Seven days of very limited games of Mermaids of the Lagoon were taking their toll. Even Danielle had began to lose imagination, hence the…
