Personal Narrative
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 …show more content…
This differed from winter because the only thing to do was snowmobiling which I enjoyed doing half the time because I was siting on my butt, skiing well never tried since they didn’t have boots for my size back during the time I got offered to learn how to ski, snowboarding now I did most often as I could because it reminded me of surfing but on snow and had an awesome experience and enjoyed the sport, ice skating and many other winter activities personally I was not a winter person yet, so I basically used winter time to go to school and work part time. Another memory that I experienced in Park City was when people used to stare me down at school during wintertime for wearing shorts, which I did it only the first few months. I was so new to Park City that I was not used to the cold weather because the weather from California where I came was totally different then the weather in Utah. As I grew up, I started adapting myself to the winter weather and slowly started getting involved in winter activities such as snowboarding. I got the opportunity to take classes and obtain equipment for free thru the local rotary club as being one of the first Hispanics in Park City at a high school
