My Family's Barefoot: A True Story
Barefoot
A True Story It was a beautiful, sunny day out, and I woke up only to figure out I had to clean. My chores were assigned and I got stuck with the bathroom, mopping, and dishes. Our cousins whom I adore were coming to visit us from Arkansas. Although I didn’t know it at the time. We see them once a year at Thanksgiving, so this was a big deal. Our parents told us some of our friends from where we use to live were coming to visit us. I finished my bedroom which only needed to be tidied up a little, and I sat in my room for 3 and a half hours reading. I finished reading Anne of Ingleside that was in a wonderful series called Anne of Green Gables. A car started pulling up our half a mile driveway, and I ran down to meet them. It was our cousins. It was a surprise had absolutely, so we had no idea when they were going arrive. They would have had to leave at 3 in the morning by the time they got

Almost anytime we are with our cousins we end up filming a movie. She received a GoPro one year for Christmas and she puts the film onto the computer on iMovie. She then edits it and we get to see the final product. We all agreed on a movie to make. It was Anne of Green Gables. We love the old-fashioned movie that goes along with the book. We have all read it sometime in our life, and we it had the perfect amount of characters for us to do it. The character I had to play was the meanest, most rude person in the book, and she always gets involved in other people’s business. I was supposed to storm out of the barn after I didn’t agree with what someone else in the book said, and on my way out, I guess I didn’t lift up my feet enough because a big piece of rusty metal jabbed into my foot. It didn’t hurt, but there was a big pool of blood under my foot. Addie got it on camera and actually put it in the movie. I had a huge flap of skin dangling off of my foot. Chloe and Addie helped me walk up to the house and I had to soak

    After breakfast, the parents went out on the lake to have “adult time.” So my cousins and I decided to go riding back in the woods. Chelsea and I were doing wheelies on the four-wheelers. Wheelies are so fun; I get the feeling of butterflies in my stomach every time I do them. Jessica was riding her four-wheeler backwards. Johnathan was doing tricks on his dirt bike. We were doing all kinds of tricks and cool things. We even had races to see who could go the fastest. Then we found a spot in the dirt that was really wet. We saw that is was safe, so we started playing around in it. We did what most people call “mudding.” We all had a blast until Johnathan flooded his engine, and Chelsea started complaining about having mud all over her. So they decided to go home and let Jessica and I keep riding.…

    It was two in the morning. I got out of bed, running on three hours of sleep. I ran downstairs after getting ready for a long bus ride. I saw my mom and grandpa waiting downstairs, as my grandpa was going on the trip with me. When at the school, teachers checked our bags, kind of like the airport. After this check, we were off (well, about an hour later). Now it was off on our new home for the next 12 hours. For the first three hours, everyone slept. It was boring and I will skip that. We then pulled over for our breakfast stop. When we stopped, the teachers passed out our boxes of bagels. We proceeded to get back on the road next, which was a rather long time. About four hours of driving through Ohio farms and Pennsylvania hills,…

    It had been a crazy morning as I ran all over my house trying to find my jacket and boots. My mom had been admitted into the hospital that morning for a massive headache and all I could think about was whether or not she would be okay. I took her to the emergency room that day before so going to class was the last thing on my mind. My father and sister had agreed to stay with her till I ended class so I was more at ease knowing she wouldn’t be alone. After running all over my house looking for my things I quickly gathered myself to make my train. I finally got to Penn Station with four minutes to spare. I quickly walked to where the rest of my class was as we waited for instructions to where we would…

    Her ambition to swing caused me to be in the way of her backswing. She swung right away giving me no time to move. She did what I told her and swung her arms back. Before she could swing them forward, the thump of my forehead didn’t allow her to carry on her swing any further. I immediately went into a daze and was ready to fall down. She realized I was going to fall and she turned around instantly and held me up right. She was crying hysterically, she felt horrible for me. For the next couple minutes I could only feel the droplets of blood dripping from my forehead onto the rest of my body and taste the blood leaking down into my mouth. I kept my eyes closed so it wouldn’t get into my eyes, therefore my sister directed me into the house where my parents were. I bleed all down my face and onto the stairs leading into my house, but the blood on the stairs was quickly washed away from the rapidly falling rain as it went from a drizzle to a pour again. It felt like I lost a gallon of blood, I felt as light as a feather. I looked in the mirror and the opening in my head wasn’t big, but was definitely frightening to my 10 year old…
