Personal Narrative: My Summer
Summer to me is the season of fun; the season where kids get to be outside play all day long because the day is illuminated by the sun almost until eight at night. I got to play all day and it was even better when my cousins came over, I especially enjoyed this season when I was little. I have four other cousins that are about my age so you can imagine how chaotic it was with six kids from ages six to ten years old being together. As all kids we looked for adventure with our imagination, we invented games, and our parents taught us games they played when they were younger. One game that especially stood out was a game called “hoyitos” or “little holes”.
The game was played like this: every person that was going to play the game had to dig

    Another reason summer is my favorite season is because there is no school. School can be fun sometimes but it is always nice to have a 3 month break.

    As a child, I had a huge imagination. I would turn the recliner into Pride Rock and the backyard into a jungle. But, it was my sidekick, my partner in crime, my little sister who made my imagination grow and become real. Through years, as we get older and we add adult responsibilities to our daily lives she has never lost that imagination I remember. Although her imagination has changed into more adult-like forms she has been a signpost in my life. When I watch her and listen to what she tells me I can see her wheels turning. She gets an idea in her head and it grows until she can not contain it. Then, that idea explodes forcing her to publicize it. When she publicizes it, I am amazed. Her imagination as shown me that an idea can form in your…

    The puzzle pieces were starting to scatter apart when I got notified by my second grade teacher that I had to take that recuperation exam for math class. It wasn't a surprise, back then I wasn’t that efficient at math. I needed support, so I took tutoring in math courses for about a month and studied the whole content that I took for my second grade year. If I didn’t pass that test I knew I would be unsatisfied. That way I feel it’s worse than summer school. That's how it is in my country, which takes place in Honduras. I would say it’s tougher, based on the fact that there is major pressure. Besides, who would desire to repeat a school year over again? Definitely not me , I speculated.…

    Drenched in sweat and trying to avoid touching anything made of metal, I stood in the back of the dump truck shoveling mulch into a wheelbarrow. The temperature outside was in the upper nineties reaching for triple digits. I could see heat waves coming off of the scorched ground, but I didn’t have time to pay attention to any of that. We had a task to finish and we would see to it no matter what obstacles mother nature or life in general would throw our way. This is the mentality that working in landscaping every summer throughout high school taught me.…

    I headed to my first class which just so happened to be my favorite subject, English. The hallways were very wide but when filled with students I felt like I had to shove my way through just to get to my locker. The lockers were a mixture between Gray and purple. The school colors were supposed to be purple and silver but there was no way that these lockers could be considered. I took a look at the little piece of paper that the lady in the office had given me and tried out the combination on my locker. It took me about five minutes to open it and after struggling for that long I was a little irritated so when it did open, it flew open and slammed into the locker next to mine. I held my breath and hoped that nobody had noticed. I took a long deep breath and slowly opened my eyes again. Luckily I was still standing alone and nobody around was looking at me. I put my extra books and notebooks into the locker and and closed it as quietly as I could.…

    June-August- Summer Break, just ordinary things, going to sleep, going to stores, and just sitting in the house playing video games. However, one incident happened, that left me stunned and shocked. My mother died that year, from heart failure. I obviously was more depressed and miserable within my personal life. I cried all 3 months! To make things worse, the last concern I told to my mother was that I hate her. This was when I had the vigorous fight at school with the bully which landed me in the hospital. She obviously had a resultant talk with me like always, and it obviously ended inadequately, and to make this short, I told her, “I hated her.” This impacted my character and my overall ability to move forward in life due to the fact my mom died miserably. It was like a burning hole in my stomach, that I couldn’t get rid of no matter what.…

    During my summers in Upward Bound, I have learned a lot from the director, Ms. Norma, who taught me the importance of working with others and doing everything in my power help others as well myself. Every summer I participated in a community service event hosted by the LA Food Bank where we packaged over 60,000 pounds of food for the homeless. It felt delightful to know that I was able to make someone’s day a little better and it motivated me to do more.…

    My teen years overall were good years. I still continued to struggle in school with C and D grades. English was my worst subject and I was failing that class and needed to bring my grade up to a D to pass. I remember once in junior high taking an English exam. I did well on the exam and was proud of myself for what I accomplished. The teacher informed me, in front of the class, I had cheated. She said I could not have done well on the exam except by cheating. I told her I had studied and did not cheat. She did not believe me and gave me a zero on the exam. I was upset and felt insignificant. I tried to do my best and did well and was not commended for my efforts but punished because this teacher did not have faith in my abilities. There were…

    This summer was bad. I had a few incidents occur. So the first one was not as bad as the second one. I rode my bike to the Iowa Falls pool. It was a great day just hanging out with my friends and chilling in the cold water. I did multiple things like riding the waterslides and going off the diving boards. I had to leave around five o’clock. Once five o’clock rolled around I packed up my things and headed on my way. I decided to take a shortcut so that I would get home faster. The shortcut was a bike/walking trail. So I was just cruising along until some people appeared out of nowhere. Of course I swerved to avoid hitting them. When this happened I just so happened to be on a bridge and because of my swerving I hit the side rail…
