Personal Essay: Moving To Denver

Improved Essays
I just moved from New York City to Denver. So I wasn’t really familiar with the surroundings of my new home and the environment here was very different from New York as well. I never could go camping in New York City because there were just skyscrapers and building everywhere. My aunt and uncle have lived in Denver for years and have learned what stuff to do for fun. When My Aunt and Uncle found out I never went camping. They immediately set a date and called to reserve a camping spot in a national park nearby. The date was some time mid-June. I had my stuff ready a week before we left because I didn’t know if I would forget something to bring.

As I went upstairs to the kitchen to get breakfast my aunt was there with a bunch of gear, coolers and bags. For a second I thought to myself why she was here and with all this stuff. After thinking for a minute, I remember that we were going on my first camping trip. My Uncle told me the night before that we had to wake up early to bet traffic. Apparently camping is pretty popular in Colorado. I quickly got my gear on and went to go help my aunt put the rest of the camping stuff in her van. I was about to go into the back of the car but, my uncle stopped me and gave me the make and said “You’re my co-pilot on this adventure bud. You’re going to also learn how to read a map.” So I went to go sit in the front and was instructed where the key was and what the symbols mean. It was about 3 hours till we found our camping spot. It was a nice place by a

    The car moved at a slower pace as we came closer to the camping spot. As I came out, I slammed the door shut, that made a big bang. I heard my little brother and sister screaming with excitement, her eyes wide, glancing out at the crystal blue sky, my mom ran to the lake, right in front of us with her camera. There was the beaming hot sun, tall oak trees and right in front of me was a small gross puddle of mud, making the air smell like a dumpster. I felt a shudder, gentle cold breeze, that blew against me, that made goosebumps on my arms and legs.…

    Setting my foot on to Santa Ana’s campus ground the first day of every semester all I could think about is what kind of person I want people to view me as. Entering my classes, most of my classmates have the idea of knowing who they are as a person leaving me to ponder on the idea of what kind of greatness do I want to leave behind. I was raised to look up and learn from the people that are better than me in school and in life. However, I wanted to be that person for my siblings or even the stranger that I have just met. Granted, not long ago, my mother went to a better place and she left behind a pretty picture of who she was as a person in my mind and the people that she once knew.…

    Ever since I was a kid, I have always wanted to go camping with my family because of the television shows or movies I watch, but we really never gotten a chance to give it a time. So since then, I never expected I’d experience camping until Camp Us was discussed to us in school, during our GE class. Honestly, when I heard of it, childish it may sound, I got really excited and I looked forward to going whether it was required or not. I already thought of how it is going to be; the activities we would be doing, the things I should bring and so much more. Although, I wasn’t really expecting much from it, just hoped that it would be as fun and as memorable as it should always be.…
