Personal Narrative: How Rock Bibbing Has Changed My Life
As a human being, there are plenty of behaviors that I have not tried because the thought of accomplishing them has never crossed my mind. One of these behaviors happen to be rock climbing. I am not a very athletic person but this is something that I have never done before. Thinking about how this could’ve changed my life, if I was ever interested, is such a deep thought and shows how just a certain behavior can be a huge or small influence in someone’s life.
Rock climbing is a very athletic sport that requires a lot of upper body strength.
Some people do it for fun and others do it to gain endurance in their strength. Also, depending where you climb there are some great heights involved. In other places, it could just be an indoor gym that may require the same amount or more of psychical strength. Sometimes it’s just a carnival game to win a stuffed animal for your date or little sister. Rock climbing doesn’t even have to be about physical strength. It can be about clearing your mind after a hard day in the office or just a way to relax while keeping fit. To some …show more content…
I would not be as lazy and work ahead of time when it came to school or other actions that need to be done ahead of time. I’d be more determined to focus and try harder on subjects that challenge me instead of giving up as soon as it gets hard. I would also use rock climbing to overcome my fear of heights. It is not an overbearing phobia where I can’t drive over freeway bridges without freaking out. It’s more like the higher I am from the ground the more I realize I am not being able to touch the ground and that is what freaks me out. I don’t think rock climbing will eliminate the fear, but I think it would help me cope with it. It’s fascinating how just thinking about rock climbing being a part of my life would change how I think about myself and my

    Importance of Setting in Saturday Climbing

    "Tensing his fingers, he straightened his elbow and leaned back from the rock so that he could search for his next hold. Above him, there was a half-inch ledge. He reached up, got a good grip, then lifted his left leg higher than he could and set his foot in a rough patch that would provide the necessary friction to hold his weight" (52). The setting is on a Saturday while rock climbing. The mood in this passage suggests that the character, Barry is sure of himself but the next few lines that follow suggests otherwise. Nevertheless, he seems that he can handle himself out there.…

    Turbine Illnesses In Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air

    In his book, Into Thin Air, Krakauer describes climbing to the summit of Mount Everest as a 'breathtaking experience'. The thinning of oxygen is just one of the many perilous events that unfolds while the climbing of this monster of a mountain. There are illnesses that one can get while descending too high too quickly, and limbs to be lost to the freezing cold. Worse, one could inevitably come to their own death by falling into a crevasse or for loss of air supply. There is no doubt that climbing to such a feat would be nearly physically impossible, unless given the proper time and training.…

He tells who didn’t survive or who had contracted a fatal injury he then continues to tell us about the impact of the challenge “… to the tragedy the Everest climb has rocked my LIFE to its core …” (Pg. 3). This quote reflects his perspective on the expedition. His vivid figurative language and exquisite imagery pertaining to every event made the passage not only highly realistic but parallel . It was as if the reader was with him and they struggles and felt lightheaded and experienced the same minor injuries.

    Personal Narrative: Bands Of America

    Bands of America was very cool this year! The bus ride went very well, only problem being that every bump hit would rewind the movie that was playing. Once we got there everything went very smoothly. I got to help the band moms put the hat boxes in order! Warm ups there were a lot of jitters in the air it seemed, but not bad ones. Waiting to get on the field was extremely nerve wracking. But, once we got on the field everything seemed nice and mellow, like we were back on the field at home, it just had a different crowd and background. I feel really good about the performance. We did the best we could do and our best got us third in our class! Heading to the hotel and getting to lay down and rest was very nice and much needed. The food was…

    Personal Narrative: How Marching Band Changed My Life

    Before I had even started high school I hit a very deep depression. I struggled with it for years. I felt I had no family and no friends. It was a very hard time for me. I didn't enjoy talking about my feelings or being around people due to the fact that I felt I just annoyed those around me. Despite this, I continued doing what I loved most: music. I began marching band my eighth grade year and loved the feeling of being on the field in the lights when our assistant band director would come over the loud speaker announcing the "McClain Marching Tigers and Tigerettes". It helped me find and accept who I am. I gained confidence and learned to lead and understand. It even introduced me to my closest friend whom introduced me to his friend group, giving me the first group of friends I had in my life. I've met so many new people and learned so many new skills throughout my marching career and I look forward to finishing out my senior year with the people who have been there with me from the beginning.…

    Personal Narrative: A Concert Band Leader

    A time I wish I had spoke up as a leader was a couple of months ago when a past concert band member wanted to be apart of marching band. This individual had not attended band camp, which is a requirement if you want to be in marching band. The individual had family issues which prevented him from attending. Once school started he went to the first football with us and played the show music during class. I thought there would be an exception due to his circumstances of not being able to attend. Later I found out that leadership and our band director would decide whether or not he would be included in our show. His drill spot had been written, now it was just if he was committed and be able to. I thought he deserved a chance, so I wanted to help him. I figured our band director would too. But at the same time, our…
