Personal Narrative : A Car Ride With My Fellow Friends

Improved Essays
"Ring!" sounded the final bell on a Friday afternoon at school. Students sprinted out of class to get to their cars trying to beat the rush of traffic; I was one of them. I stopped by my locker to grab all of my books and then hurried out to my shiny gold Toyota Camry. I quickly put my key into the ignition and backed out of my parking spot. I stepped on the gas pedal to beat all of the idiot drivers that don 't know how to wait their turn. Once at the stoplight, I took a sharp right turn onto 86th Avenue. I was headed towards my friend Logan’s house to go on a bike ride with my fellow friends. I did not know within the next hour my hand would be covered in blood and Logan would be racing me to the hospital. By the time I got to Logan’s house all of my friends were already there. They were all waiting anxiously to go bike riding at the park. I stepped out of my car and walked inside to set down my purse. I instantly picked a bike from the garage and began to peddle towards the park. It was so gorgeous outside. There was a slight breeze blowing against my face and it was a sunny seventy five degrees out. No wonder why everyone was waiting so impatiently for me to get there. As we entered the park, we all were trying to decide what trail follow. Finally making a decision, everyone followed each other in pairs of twos. “Buzz!” blared my friend Tori’s phone. She hastily answered her phone while trying to balance on her bike at the same time. “Yes of course we will

    Sit back, buckle up, and get ready to scream because I love roller coasters. My family and I go to Cedar Point about every month in the summer, and my dad and I go and ride everything in the park. It is just so fun! The one thing I really like about roller coasters is that there are little rides for the youth kids also. My least favorite thing is when I am not tall enough to enjoy a ride, which doesn’t really occur anymore.…

    As a member of the Inside Ride Organizing Committee at Mentor College, I assisted to organize, advertise and execute the 2015 Inside Ride cycling event that raised over $50,000 for childhood cancer patients and advancing research.

    After five hours under Mrs. Gonzalez’s 1997 Plymouth, my hands were so dirty I had to wash them ten times just to see my fingernails again. She was a familiar face around the shop, given that neighborhood thieves had routinely targeted her car. This time, though, they had gone too far. Someone had crawled underneath the car and cut out the valuable catalytic converter, and she couldn’t afford a replacement. When I looked at her and said, “That’ll be $563,” her face turned pale.…

    My first car was something that I greatly was looking forward to getting as a child and my interest in getting one grew, as the days got closer to my sixteenth birthday. The first car I owned was a Automatic Black 2004 Ford f-150 truck, which I discovered on a website called Craigslist. It was priced at five thousand nine hundred dollars with only eighty-four thousand miles on it, which in my case was great considering that I could only afford a seven thousand dollar car. The truck came with all manual locks and windows and also had a small amount of hail damage that could really only be seen at a certain angle. But even with reasonable price on the truck I still attempted to negotiate for an even lower price to further my luck.…
