Personal Narrative: My Trip To Mooney's Bay
“Let’s go tobogganing in Mooney’s Bay,” my friend Henry suggested.
After that, we decided to meet up at Mooney’s Bay at three o’clock sharp. This was my first winter in Canada and I felt quite nervous about tobogganing. I was in second grade at the time and I was terribly afraid of the possibility of injuring myself. It was a hard decision, but I knew I had to go tobogganing one way or another, so I decided to go with Henry to Mooney’s Bay.
The journey to Mooney’s Bay felt inevitably long as I was anxious throughout the whole trip. We finally arrived at Mooney’s Bay and towed our toboggans up the hill. On my first ride down the hill, I shut my eyes as tightly as possible. I felt wind cutting across my face like a knife as we charged down the hill like horses without reins.
We became exhausted as we raced up and down the tobogganing hill multiple times. We decided to take a break and sit along the outstretched row of benches. “ Let’s do one more ride on the hill and go back home,” I suggested.
“Sure, but maybe we should ride the steeper

The paramedics applied first aid to my injuries, carried me on a stretcher back to the ambulance and delivered me to the hospital. Doctors examined the injuries and found traces of concussion symptoms. I spent a day in the hospital rustling through my belongings for any source of entertainment. My parents were with me in the hospital initially , but had to go home to take care of my younger sisters, so I spent some of my time feeling lonely in the protracted and dim corridors of the hospital. It felt like the clock had frozen in time as I waited anxiously to get out of the hospital. The food tasted abhorrent as I gulped down the remains of the dry and tasteless omelettes, sandwiches, and hamburgers. Henry felt guilty about injuring me and visited the

    I tested the waters of bicycle riding by dragging my feet along the bumpy asphalt, but gravity was working against me. The incline was not allowing me stop, so jumped off. I walked away with only some bumps and bruises. The riding of my bike was put on hold for some time. My fear had gotten the best of me. It was not until the next summer that I would venture out again on my bike.…

    In the wee hours of the morning my life is the embodiment of a living, breathing dichotomy. Awakening with a wry little smile on my face, I knew I had dreamed of the river, big brown trout, and sweet 3wt bamboo rods. My body screams – “Where’s the coffee”, while my brain questions the sanity of getting up this early on a Saturday. Oblivious to the cacophony, the hairs on the back of my neck tingle. Betraying logic, they forewarn that this pre-dawn moment was the premonition of a great day ahead.…

    The first time I ever went to Cape Fear River was on July 10 2014. I begged my parents to let me go that morning and finally they said “ pack up your clothes and all the sleeping gear so we can go and you can be quite.’’ I called my buddies and they all said meet y’all there at the Lock Dam 3. We went to the farm and got our 14 foot War Eagle Jon boat. We left the house around twelve o’clock and we took off for Walmart to buy some delicious steaks,soft bread and some crickets to fish with. We meet one of my buddies in the walmart parking lot. He was buying some comfortable sleeping bags and a blow up mattress to slip inside the tent so we wouldn’t have to sleep on that cold,hard sand. We took off to the river with our tall trucks and meet everyone down there at the dam.…

    Freshman year; everyone in the high school, Highland, is required to play at least two seasons of sports in their high school career. Now, last year I was head over heels into riding (no pun intended). Feeling this way, I thought I would have no time for any other sports and would just get an exemption from my horse trainer to excuse me from sports. But, my best friend, Kayla Soltys then came into play. Kayla plays two sports, lacrosse and basketball. Kayla was very persistent in asking me to play lacrosse that spring and finally, I gave in. I thought it would be cool to try a new sport and I would have nothing to lose, only things to gain such as endurance and better hand eye coordination. What I did not know was that, lacrosse is so much…

    The crumbling leaves swayed, as the winter air crashed against his home. Walking towards his farm, William became uncomfortably aware of his surroundings. He grew up in this town, spending his days working and adventuring in every niche of the area. For an eighteen year old, his journey of life was monotonous.

    My special place is the country in Bristow, Oklahoma. When I am in the country I hear the goats “baa-ing”, the stomping of their feet hitting the grass, the pigs snorting, rolling around in the mud, and the dog barking. I see my two children running around messing with the dog and running away from the daddy goat. My dad and grandpa are drinking beer and messing with a car or staring at each other. The baby goats are following their mother around everywhere. There is nothing but green grass and a bunch of energy from the animals. I smell goat poop, the pig’s nasty, natural smell they have and the fresh, beautiful, dirt road air all at the same time. I see green grass, a bunch of big, green trees, and pretty flowers bloomed. I walk behind the…

    My hospital bed was ice cold and the bleak and empty white walls depressed me as the uncomforting thought that I would have to stay here for maybe another week brought tears to my eyes. The usual and oppressive smell of disinfectant lingered in the room as I recalled that night in my head, trying to convince myself it wasn’t my fault, as I had done everyday since the accident. It was the day everything changed and my life was turned upside down. Forever.…

    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.…

    I remember reaching the top of the hill with a very excited feeling. As I got to the top, the instructor at the top helped me off the chair. I waited for the other instructor to explain how I control my movements. While he was talking, all I thought about was hitting a tree and embarrassing myself. I just stood there looking at his red nose and chapped lips. He finally said something I found useful, he told me to lean whichever way I wanted to steer. After he finished explaining, I just went down that big hill of snow.…
