Open Field-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
My summer started off fantastic, I was sleeping in, I was hanging with my fiends, I was helping my dad on the farm and, and playing baseball. I wasn't really worried about school, I was more worried about football. Everyone was telling me that the first 2 weeks of football were going to suck, they were saying that we were going to have to condition a lot. The main thing everyone was talking about was that we had to lift a tone. I kept thinking to myself, why am I doing this, than it hit me, I have to be doing it for a reason, if there wasn't a reason I wouldn't be doing it. Than school was about to start and I could just sense the smell when you walk into school. When school starts the means football. We started to have open field and I was not liking it because I was helping my dad and than I would have to go to open field. But every time I went to open field I could just smell the fresh air in the grass and than I new I was doing it for a reason, but I still didn't know the reason. I was still considering not going out. There was something inside me telling me that I should go out, so I did. …show more content…
Practice wasn't as hard as I thought but it was still pretty hard. When they said the first 2 weeks off practice were going to be hard I actually thought it was going to be like we run until our heads fall off, but we just ran threw plays and did a little conditioning at the end. It wasn't a piece of cake, I can tell you that right now. It was only bad because we practiced for 3 hours long and the practice started at 6:30 in the morning, so after practice I was tired all day. The worst part about it was that I had to work on the farm after that so than when the day was done I was as tired as a sloth. It wasn't so bad for the people with lived in town because they would go to practice and come home and sleep like bear in

    Personal Narrative Assessment Notes The narrative “Out in the Open” would benefit from stronger, more concise language. It's vital to be careful with modifying words. Weak modifiers such as, basically, sort of, and mostly, detract from the strength of all genres of writing. Repetition reviled itself multiple times towards the end of the narrative. The adjective “happy” was overused (three times in 50 words).…

My father sitting at my right side, dozing, his head bobbing every once in awhile. I hear the faint noise of something crunching and look above me to see a squirrel perched on a small branch. I smile and nod my head letting out a faint chuckle.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    It was a scorching summer afternoon around three o’ clock PM at J.D Redd Park. I was anxiously waiting in third base for the batter to approach the plate and smack the yarn covered ball just enough for me to make it to the home plate. As the sun hits my face I see the pitcher retract his right arm getting ready to throw it. As I see the ball leave the pitcher’s hand, I breathed in the humid air, making preparations to sprint as fast as I could and make it to the home plate. Before I could even gather my thoughts the ball departed from the pitcher’s hand and into the bat of one of the members of my team.…

    There were no expectations, no immediate requests from the coaches, simply preseason was for our bodies to feel worse than you could ever imagine and for our stomachs to take on the form of black holes. Seriously though, it was the time for those who had prepared to thrive and for those who sat on the couch all summer to suffer. I always looked at myself as one of those guys who just did enough, not particularly working out all the time or running miles a day, during the summer to keep themselves prepared for some tough times. The mental part of the game started to become evident in those with the required toughness and durability to take a hit, regardless of physical or mental, and keep going, regardless of the challenge ahead.…
