Personal Narrative: Child Memories And Memories Of Childhood

Superior Essays
One of my most vivid childhood memories was when I was ten years old and my parents did something that we still talk about this day. I can still remember the smell of breakfast as I woke up that morning knowing that it was going to be a long day because we were driving to, rather than just flying South Carolina, to watch my oldest brother graduate. My younger brother turned on the lights so that he could see around the room that we both shared causing me to wake up and not fall back to sleep. As I laid there in my bed smelling bacon and coffee from downstairs I remember thinking that it was way too early for anyone to be awake.

I was passing out and there was nothing I could do to stay awake the rest of the road trip. I remember waking up to my dad carrying me to the back seat and then passing out. I woke up to my younger brother and sister being loud talking about Disney world. As I looked up there was signs everywhere about Disney world. We drove to the hotel first and when we stepped out of the van the heat and humidity hit me hard. I was breathing in hot, moist air thinking how could people lived like this. As we unpacked and got ready to go to Disney world I looked at my older brother who told me he was too old to be going to Disney world and that he was too cool for it. He was dragged along and told he was in charge and he would have to take care of me and my younger brother. When we got to the front entrance I remember seeing Disney stuff everywhere I remember thinking this is the best day of my life. We were all glued to windows looking out and pointing out every little thing we saw. As soon as we got in my parents bought us all Mickey Mouse ears even my older brother who refused to wear it for the first few hours till he saw other people his age wearing them. I remember seeing all the different size Mickey Mouse shaped items, from bushes shaped like mickey to stone tiles and doors. My and my younger siblings took off running touching everything and pointing out everything. We could not contain our excitement. My parents would later tell us that

    I was ten years ago and I can still vividly remember sitting on an old, wooden rocking chair while the words of The Very Hungry Caterpillar trembled off my lips to a room full of second graders. I can recall the eagerness and excitement that filled their little faces as I flipped from page to page. There was an abundance of curiosity and desire to learn in that classroom that made me happy that I decided on skipping recess to read to the younger students. There was a fire that lit in my ten-year-old body that day. That was the day where I finally had an answer to all the “What do you want to be when you grow up?”…

Of course we got a lot of junk food and some drinks that would last us for the remainder of the car ride to the hotel marking the halfway mark of our ride.…
