Personal Narrative: My Last Spring Break

Improved Essays
Last spring break I was hoping to relax and have fun. Most of my friends had left to go to the beach and enjoy their week off of school. I was hoping to do the same, but my spring break was not what I had planned. When I had got home from school I learned my grandma had fallen and was in the hospital. Over the next month my family struggled, but ultimately came together to support and encourage my grandma throughout her recovery. When I came home Friday after school, I was ready to sit down and relax for the next week. I had been dreaming about no homework, especially spanish homework, sleeping in, and just spending time with my friends for what seemed like months now. It was finally spring break and I was ready to enjoy it and be stress free for the week. Sadly my spring break did not turn out as I had planned. Instead of being stress free and being able to sleep in, I was more stressed than I had ever been and I could not sleep because I was so worried about how my grandma was feeling. One of the worst feelings is knowing that your loved one is in pain, but you have no way to end the pain for them. Ever since I was younger, my grandma has …show more content…
Her arm healed well and the incision did not leave a scar on her arm like that doctor thought it possible could have. Now I try to spend as much time with my grandma as possible. You never know what life has in store for you, so live life to its fullest. I am thankful for my family and friends who not only helped my grandma, but also helped me when I was scared of what could happen. Even though some of my friends were on spring break, they still made me feel loved. I hope if they are ever in a similar situation that I show them as much love as they showed me. Everyone goes through a rough patch throughout their life ,and having supporting and loving friends and family to help you through those times makes them seem less

    For the past year, I could only provide an indefinite answer to a frequently asked question, How was your freshman year? In fact, those of us who experienced our freshman year could be addressed as “college veterans” will never initiate a conversation with regard to the past year. Perhaps they consider that the freshman year was not as consummate as they initially planned. I cannot judge my first year in college was successful or frustrating, but I feel I benefited from the meritorious experiences and practical knowledge gained from my college life. In my opinion, no matter what goals one wishes to achieve in college, whether its grade, love, health, or sense of accomplishment, one has to be prepared for both failures and…

    Last semester was definitely the hardest for me. I have two challenging research papers toward the end of the semester. I find it hard because I did not know what to write about and which assignments I should start on first. I manage to overcome this challenge by narrowing the topics and start on the paper that was closest to deadline. My stress level was at 10 because I skip meals and stayed up all night long to finish my papers.…

    What could I clean in my room for Spring Break? I could probably clean the papers lying all over my room that my little sister throws everywhere. My room is very messy with papers that have scribbles on them from my sister. I should also clean my closet because it is filled with old clothes that are too small for me to wear. I can also clean all of my sister’s toys that are under my bed.…

    Seven sad faces full with tears and no hope sit around a kitchen table. I stare blankly in my dad's eyes as he says, “Your mother is very sick, she's in the hospital with a rare neurological disease called Guillain-Barre.” My initial reaction was really nothing, I didn't know what to say or do in such a tragic situation. My heart hurt but my mind felt empty. Being only 12 years old at the time it was hard to understand the situation.…

    I miss them already. Despite the freezing cold snow and the nipping air, we had a lovely Christmas break. As I inspect my child, now grown with children of her own, holding tickets back to their home, longing envelopes me. Hoards of people push past, unaware of my pain, on their own schedules and heading toward different trains, talking and texting on their cell phones. My family boards, time as if in slow-motion, and waves goodbye until I see them again.…

    Spring Break 2014… Helmand Province Afghanistan. A heat comparable to the feeling of opening a hot oven, blisters two Marines as they talk to pass time during their patrol. “Yo Webb, what are you doing when you get out of this shithole country and ‘EAS’ (end of active service)?” asked one, “Well, gonna use my GI Bill, live that college life and make something better of myself…” replied the other Marine as an explosion goes off interrupting them.
