Personal Narrative: The Florida Trip
A week before the “Florida Trip” I knew nothing about I was hanging out my friends when my parents called me and told me that we were going on a week long trip and they said they wouldn’t tell me till I got home. I got home that night and my parents told me we were going to Florida and I was so excited! My alarm went off, I was so excited that we were going on the journey of a lifetime! The night before everyone in my family was stressing because they didn’t know what to pack. I just wanted to go to bed, but I was so happy I couldn't so I packed my clothes and what not in the suitcase and went to go eat out with a few buddies before I leave, It’s just a week but a lot can happen in a week nowadays. The next day I woke up it was 6 or 7ish am and I was excited I was finally leaving for Florida. Finally living my dream. On the way to the airport my phone was blowing up from friends texts saying “ Have a great save trip, bring me back something!”

When we arrived in Florida we picked our luggage up and headed to get our rental car. After we got the rental

A few nights before we left I bought a Marilyn Monroe t-shirt with the American flag as the background. The t-shirt was so nice and fancy, I loved it. The last couple nights of our stay in Florida I decided to walk mostly everyday around our area and explore more. I remember one night I was walking around and the sunset was setting and I captured amazing photos of the sunset and my family walking on the beach. THe best picture I captured was my parents holding hands walking towards the sunset on the beach, and it's the most romantic picture you’ll ever want to capture in your life, two happy couples that are your parents enjoying their lives in another state on the

    Going to Southern California, no one would think of packing an umbrella. Why would they? California is in the middle of a drought. When someone thinks of California, they think of baby blue skies and palm trees along the streets. But, of course, the weekend my family decided to visit Disneyland, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld is the weekend Southern California experienced what the local news called a “tropical depression.”…

    I never realized how lucky I was to be granted such a stupendous life until I saw the poverty some people live in. Over the summer, I was fortunate enough to be able to take an ephemeral trip to Nassau, Bahamas. It was much different than I imagined it would be. I remember walking around and almost being frighten to leave my parents sides. There were natives on every street corner trying to con their way into you spending money on their fake product; there were people going through the trash looking for food; there were people sitting on the street with all their belongings tied up to their bicycle street. You could just tell this country was nowhere near as advanced as the United States. It was nothing like the pictures and it got me thinking of the gloomy lives these children will have to grow up in and all the opportunities that they don't have available here.…

    I have lived all my life in sunny Florida. I have always been a little different. While most of my friends were playing basketball or baseball I was tinkering with electronics and repairing or improving any item that came my way. I learned a lot from my older brother, who taught me everything I know about computers and technology. When I was a sophomore in high school, my brother and I worked together to build my own gaming computer. I have had a passion to learn as much as I can, so that I can be the best that I can possibly be. I was bullied as a child for being different, but I knew that if I pushed on, I could achieve my…

    One morning a long time ago, my mom woke me up early. “It’s time to go,” she said. Go, go where I asked? “Today, we are moving to Florida,” she said. My big brown eyes began to fill up with hot salty tears. I don’t want to go, I said over and over again. You and your sibling are going to be moving to Florida with me. Again, I cried aloud, I don’t want to go. Who will take care of me? Where will I sleep? And what will I eat and drink? Consequently, all of my pleas for mercy to reside longer with my daddy was ignored, and apparently fell on deaf ears.…

    When I walked in the doors of our house, I looked to the left where our couch was and saw my parents sitting facing towards me with nervous faces. I set my bag on the ground next to the door, and I set my shoes next to my bag. I slowly turned around and walked towards the couch, hesitant to take a step forward. Part of me considered bolting--running for the door. Their faces were plastered with anxiety, and I tried to think of what I had done. Nothing clear came to mind. Once I finally sat down, I looked at my parents and said, “What's wrong?”…

    On Saturday April 13, 2013 I was walking through the parking garage on the USAA campus in San Antonio, TX to start my 4 hour work shift, I began to go through the turnstile and seemingly startled awake a bat. This bat began to fly and squeal in fear. It darted at my head getting caught in my hair a couple times. I started to scream and flail my arms about trying to fend off the nocturnal flying mammal in fear. During what seemed to be forever I was able to unlock the turnstile and exit the entry way but not before rupturing two discs in my neck. This incident caused quite the turn of events in my life. I had been working for USAA for 3 years and truly loved it there. I also lived in a beautiful apartment with my mother and two children and…

    The first beach we went to was so cool, it was the coolest beach I have ever seen. There was a lot of surfers there, they were all super good at surfing. We stayed and watched them surf for a while but what we weren’t noticing was the waves. My brother and I were on the sand and since we were looking at the surfers this huge wave comes and gets us entirely wet, which technically we got wet without haven’t even gotten in the water. We went to another beach after that and I was called Baby Beach. We got there and I practically noticed why it was called Baby Beach, there was literally little kids everywhere and the water was not even deep. We still got in but it wasn’t so fun, well obviously the water went deeper but there was a rope that was to say that “the water drops when you pass this.” We had a barbecue later on that night, with the entire family and it was yummy. There is nothing better than home cooked family meals. We were all tired so we went back the hotel and it was time to lay our heads on the pillows. The next day we practically spent the entire day sightseeing again and later that night it was time to head off back to Arizona. It sucked that we had to leave but it had to happen that way. The trip back seemed like it took longer than coming to…

    A week before becoming a college student I went on a road trip to New Orleans. On my way back, I was captain of the ship. Driving the car back wasn’t so simple, on the contrary, I discovered a button called “Cruise Control” on the wheel. Cruise control is a button located on steering wheel that can be turned on to make the vehicle set off on a constant speed the driver likes. Which made the drive back to Miami way effortless. I was so excited to discover this control that I wanted to practice it on my car, however, I consciously didn’t think about the consequences and caused an accident on my way to…
