BB & T Atlanta-Personal Narrative Analysis

Improved Essays
Before starting my senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to attend the BB&T Atlanta Open. Watching the players up close and meeting them sent a wave of thrill throughout my body, and I felt an adrenaline rush during each point. Since I made lots of significant memories and enjoyed each moment, I was able to attend the same tournament the year before I started college. While each experience had a similar feel, there were some contrasting qualities, such as who participated in the tournament and where my family and I selected to eat.
Since I had attended the BB&T Atlanta the year before, making a list of what to pack was much easier. I knew exactly how to dress for the weather, unlike the previous year. I remember wearing tank

    When I got to high school it was basically the same thing. I stopped playing sports, though just because of too much drama and I was tired of it.

I still didn’t have many friends but, the friends I did have, I’m grateful that I had them and that they were willing to be my friend.…

    After a long seven-hour car ride, we were finally here, in the Upper Peninsula. Looking out the window of our truck, I knew it was truly different than the big city I grew up in. Not many kids get to experience what happened to me the summer before my second-grade year, but it definitely changed my life for the better. When we first pulled into our new driveway, I could not believe what I was seeing. I can remember seeing a little farm house with about five horses in our backyard.…

    To me the transition from childhood to adulthood occurred when I got my license and my first car. I got my license early in the year of 2015, I passed the test with ease getting a perfect score despite being nervous during the maneuverability course. I took my awkward photo and went out the door with the freedom to drive without any adult. Despite not showing any signs of excitement on the outside, on the inside I was geeked to be the one controlling where i can go, what music to listen, and how loud I wanted the music it to be. The only downfall to getting my license was that i was to be what my dad called a “Gopher”.…

    One might take for granted, the safety of suburbia. I was led to believe by my parents that in "a neighborhood like this," I would be perfectly safe. In the 7th grade, I had to take the bus that dropped me off quite a ways away from my house, meaning that I had to walk quite the distance to my house. It wasn't a major problem, just a minor inconvenience at best. The main reason I took this specific route was to save some minutes sleeping in the early mornings, but I digress.…

    This article is, in my opinion, an example of how personal narrative can sometime confuse the author’s purpose. In order to frame her arguments she discussed her experiences with her family, and specifically how she was born a twin to a stillborn sister. She explains her families lack of coping and how her family effected her life, but I failed to focus on the overarching idea that she wanted to get out because of how distracting the stories from her personal life are. Instead found myself thinking that her story was strangely personal without much justification for why it was this way. While the point of her article, the balance between truth and respect, was somewhat present overall, the sections of personal narrative that she decided to include muddled it.…
