Personal Narrative: My Trip To Mooney's Bay

Improved Essays
“Let’s go tobogganing in Mooney’s Bay,” my friend Henry suggested.
After that, we decided to meet up at Mooney’s bay at 3 o’clock sharp. This was my first winter in Canada and I felt quite nervous about tobogganing. I was in second grade at the time and I was terribly afraid of the possibility of injuring myself. It was a hard decision, but I knew I had to go tobogganing one way or another, so I decided to go with Henry to Mooney’s Bay.
The journey to Mooney’s Bay felt inevitably long as I was anxious throughout the whole trip. We finally arrived at Mooney’s Bay and towed our toboggans up the hill. On my first ride down the hill, I shut my eyes as tightly as possible, I felt wind cutting across my face like a knife as we charged down the hill

I agreed to go though still having doubts about the ride. On the ride down we charged at maximum velocity towards an icy rock. We narrowly avoided the rock but unfortunately, Henry lost control of the toboggan as he turned a sharp right to avoid the rock and plummeted towards another toboggan and flipped over it, landing upside down on the ground. Thirty minutes later, the paramedics arrived with a stretcher and examined my injuries and addressed my parents to tell them about my severe injuries in the nasal part of my face as I laid helplessly on the frigid ground, which felt like concrete with spikes integrated inside. The paramedics applied first aids on my injuries and carried me on a stretcher back to the ambulance and delivered me to the hospital. They examined the injury and found traces of concussion symptoms. I spent a day in the hospital rustling through my belongings for any source of entertainment. My parents were with me in the hospital, but had to take care of my younger sisters, so I spent most of my time feeling lonely in the protracted and dim corridors of the hospital. It felt like the clock had frozen in time as I waited anxiously to get out of the hospital. The food tasted abhorrent as I gulped down the remains of the dry and tasteless omelettes, sandwiches, and hamburgers. Henry felt guilty about injuring me and visited the

No a one of them knowing what they were about to get their self into.…

    As the daughter of parents who love to travel, I’ve had the pleasure of travelling across Canada and America as well as a few other countries from a young age. I have visited the loud and bustling streets of Tokyo and the ethereal gardens in Kyoto, stood on the edge of the Grand Canyon, walked the strip in Las Vegas, and watch the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean in Martha’s Vineyard. Although I should be able to look back on a childhood filled with events and memories from trips, I find it difficult to recall most vacations without a visual prompt. When I flip through old family photo albums, I don’t recall much more than what is shown in their pages. The outdated clothing, the people, and the locations are seen in the images, and therefore…

    Ever since I was little, the most comforting sound was the distant ocean waves crashing against the sandy shore, and mouse like whispers from the adults when they thought I was asleep. Nothing felt better than the crisp morning breeze as I would sit with my uncle while we watched the sun rise. I feel that I remember my conversations with him the most because they were always the funniest. We were like a mini comedy show. At only four years old, I thought that I was a grown adult and would constantly try to tell him what to do and would argue with him to no end about whatever silly subject came up, but in my opinion, the best part about it was that he would always argue back.…

    Hersey's Chocolate Nuggets with every visit was the highlight of my day, because sitting alone for hours in this silent and desolate hospital made me wonder. How could I have made smart choices about my health to prevent this catastrophe. On a particular day in the mid-summer heat, you could find people out on their bikes, on the beach, or relaxing in the cool breathable wind on the porch. I ,on the other hand, was indoors spiking the ball over the net during volleyball practice. "…

    It was a beautiful morning in April on solid ground which in one way it felt wrong. My legs were jelly as if I sat in one position for a very long time. I could smell the salt from the ocean.

    We arrived when the sun was beaming down on the early morning of October 2nd. I was amazed at the number of Egrets and various other wetland creatures we came upon arriving. We visited the park mainly to expand our knowledge on the ecosystem of the Barnegat Bay area and with time to spare we shot some photos of the beautiful environment before our eyes. Upon arriving at Cattus Island we did about a mile walk to the Barnegat Bay. During the mile walk we went through the wetlands where we saw many Egrets in their natural habitat.…

Putting on layers of clothes, spraying our feet with Scent-A-Way and getting all of the hunting gear ready were only minor steps to the long day that was lying ahead. The thirty-minute ride to Richfield felt like much longer and the walk to the stand felt miles long. I kept my head down as we trekked to the deer stand, placing my feet where my dad’s had been…

    The time I went to Outer Banks, NC with all of my family from my mom’s side was probably the most fun I had in a while. It was early and a little cold outside when we all met up my Aunts house to load the cars. After talking about how this week long vacation was going to be so fun we realized it was time for a brutal 7hr road trip. The car ride consisted of me and two of my cousins in the back squished because of all the food we took, my dad constantly asking about directions which prevented me and my cousins from sleeping because of how loud he was, and my cousin’s smelly armpits. My cousin was usually the one who was always smelling good, but that time I guess he forgot to put deodorant on.…

    As I floated to the top of the hill on the ski lift, my stomach dropped and I grew hot despite the freezing temperatures outside. I was attempting to prepare myself for the sizable slope that I thought to be my impending doom. When I departed from the lift I turned my skis to position myself at the brink of slope. Then I tipped my skis over the edge of the hill with much initial regret.…
