Personal Narrative: My Trip To Tennessee

I was so excited, I had never been to Tennessee before. It was my first time being more than three hours away from home. The drive is usually three hours, but we stopped at a relative’s house on the way there, which added three hours to the drive.Therefore, the drive ended up being six hours.

I had to tell them goodbye at the end of the game because they were from Missouri. One of the girls, Sarah, said “I hope to see you all again!” After my sister Rachel’s team won, we went out to eat with the team and the family we were staying with. It was around 4:00 and it was still sunny out. After we had got done eating we were going to head back to the hotel to take our luggage up to our room

Once she figured out that I was okay, she said that she didn’t want me to go out there in the first place. If I would have waited for her to get to the room and asked her if it was okay to go out there instead of just running, then none of this would have
