Personal Narrative: Boy Skied
Boy Skied

I fell in love with hitting the icy cool slopes of Snow Valley the winter i turned 12 years old. I had never put myself in a life or death situation before putting everything i had worked for on the line but with the determination i had brought along with me i knew that i was going to be able to do it. When i found out that we were going to go on a ski trip i started jumping for joy as the thumps i made on the carpets were as loud as an earthquake. I geared up in a flash and prepared myself for taking this feat on head to head. I had finally gotten to icy frozen tundra that was home to the most mid driven sport in the world called skiing. I enjoyed every part of the process of getting up the hill, from the smooth constant clacking

    Personal Narrative: Hard To Skate

    There are some spots that are hard to skate and I couldn't really skate well and no matter how hard I try I can't land it. There's some stuff I can do and I practice all the time to make sure I can get better I may not be the best, but I try my hardest on skating.Occasionally it's difficult to ride or it's not working out on what you want, but friends help me to do new tricks and that's why on hard spots I try my hardest even if I get a scrape or even a bruise may even have a broken bone but there's always going to be something hard to do but doesn't mean it's impossible the day could be hot or cold making it difficult to skate in but there's always a different spot.…

    Standing At The Glacier Rhetorical Analysis

    Standing at the top of the glacier with the full force of the ice-cold wind rushing to smash across my face like rose thorns. My lips frozen together as dried concrete impaired my speech. The aqua, navy waters, giving out a feeling as if floating in the sky. Likewise, the calm, clear ocean provided for an awesome glacier view.…

    Personal Narrative: Lake Winnipesaukee

    “Click, click, click” I stand up after buckling my snowboard bindings and glance out across the horizon. I see the deep blue’s of Lake Winnipesaukee and the cool icy blues over the scattered coves. I look ahead and realize that I am the last one to start down the fresh packed powder trail. Quickly I hop along to gain speed to catch up to my family.…

    Grit Paragraph: My Experience Of Skiing

    The first time I experience grit was when I first went skiing for my first time at Sundown, which is a ski resort near Dubuque. At first I did not like skiing, because I would always fall, but I was determined to be a good skier. By my second time at Sundown I started to get the hang of it. By my third night I could go down all the hills in a controlled manner, then I started to really enjoy skiing. I then found out if I keep on working and try my hardest on something it will always pay off in the end. Grit made me take something I dislike, and made it into one of my favorite things to do in the winter. Today I have been skiing for over 3 years. Even after I hurt my back skiing 2 years ago, I still went back the next year.…

    Personal Narrative: My 4 Wheeler Ride

    The day I took off on my 4 wheeler, and left my Mom and Dad in the dust. It started out awesome and fun, then turned out to be very scary. It was July 4, 2013, my family and I loaded up our 4 wheelers for a fun day in the great outdoors. We all unloaded our 4 wheelers, then took off out into the desert. I wanted to see how fast I could go around the sharp corners on dirt roads. It was so much. I was having so much fun seeing how fast I could drive my 4 wheeler, around the sharp dirt road corners, I never looked back.…

    Personal Narrative: Snow Hunts

    I felt the stock of my bow while I was sitting in the blind. Frost had already began to form where I rubbed it off seconds ago. I looked through the small window at the everlasting snow. “Wait, was that a deer moving along those trees?” I asked myself. It looked more like a kangaroo making its way through the snow. I could barely stand up in the cold. I pulled back, ready to take the shot.…

    Those words were some of the best i’d ever heard in my life. That day I met great football players but greater friends. I was actually kind of scared. Wondering if all the 5th graders would play with a 4th grade kid. All these fears increased when I saw how good they played. Catching everything that was thrown at them!…

    Missouri Current River-Personal Narrative

    This was my very first high adventure since I joined the boy scouts, and we were going on a three day canoe trip in the Ozarks. I was so nervous because the trips I had been taking were only day trips, and I ran into a log on one of those trips and almost flipped. We were in deep water too, so no one could help us. So I have had a bad experience with rivers ,but I was determined to conquer the Missouri Current River. I love the outdoors and the creatures that live outside, so I was excited to see that. I was still nervous I would somehow screw up.…

    Skiing Perseverance

    Having grown up in the Tahoe-Truckee area, participation in athletics and other team activities have taken up a vast majority of my fifteen years, and helped me find a variety of things I am passionate about. Though I am remarkably ardent about anything I embark in, skiing has always reigned victorious to all others. My participation in skiing has alluded me an outlet to escape from whatever outside sources weighed me down, and has given me the opportunity to meet a multitude of benevolent people while traveling in exemplary places. Participation in Squaw Valley Snow Sports has taught me a variety of lessons that I not only utilize on the mountain, but in my day to day life.…

    Personal Narrative: The Boy Who Changed My Life

    When I was 17 it was 1995, I went on my first real date. We were going to see First Knight. The boy in question was the friend of a friend and I had only ever talked to him on the phone. He said he would pick me up at 7 and we would catch a movie. So far so good. 7 rolls around and he isn't there, he calls and says his Dad is running late so they won't be there till 8. I didn't realize his Dad was driving but whatever, I am withholding judgment. 8:30 they show up and he knocks on my door and I go out to join him. He leans in for a kiss and I lean very far back and awkwardly stick out my hand to shake his hand. He doesn't act like he knows what to do next and he is just staring at his feet and his Dad is staring at us and time just crawls. We finally just painfully walk to the car. It is not immediately apparent where we are going to be sitting. Now, this dude's Dad was HUGE. Not just his weight, but his entire freaking frame. He barely fits in his car. He has the driver's seat all the way back and in the front seat next to him is a cage of living breathing birds. The back seat is really only half a back seat because his Dad is filling so much of the car. I look at my date and look at the car. My date seems to have come to the same realization that there is really only one seat. I squeeze into the backseat while my date squeezes into the front seat with a bird…

    Personal Narrative-The Joy Of Skiing

    I can see the sun glistening off the snow covering the treetops as I glide down the mountain. Suddenly I feel a lot of snow sprayed on me as my dad speeds past in his usual perfect formation, as if he’s a slalom skier about to pass the finish line. He goes around a bend, following the curve of the trail, and skis out of sight. When I finally catch up to him I am shocked at what I see. My dad is getting up from a fall – he never falls – and both his skis and poles are scattered around the trail. In all his years of skiing, as far as I know, my dad has never been injured despite some careless falls. As I ski down to my dad I pick up his matching black skis and poles. I get closer to him and see a look in his eyes that worries me. I hide my concern and calmly ask, “Are you okay?”…

    Personal Narrative: The Joy Of Skiing

    Skiing was not my forte or my favorite activity to do. My emotions were enraged at the way I tumbled down the slope. My body ached by falling and tumbling through the freezing cold snow and ice. Home sounded so marvelous right now, anywhere but here, my confidence had hit rock bottom. My face red and frozen from sobbing. I concluded that there was some other way down, nevertheless there wasn’t.…
