Personal Narrative: Dancing In The Snow

Improved Essays
I was dancing in the snow. Frosty and Olaf were playing tag. Santa was playing fetch with Rudolph, and the other reindeer were getting jealous. They plotted to kill Rudolph. I noticed this and decided to try to stop them. When they were about to launch their attack, I ran behind them and using the Sword of Gryffindor, I slayed them all. Then I woke up. “Oh look, it’s snowing outside.”

My mother and I made the trek towards the lake, all bundled up and ready to slide down a hill on a long piece of plastic with foam on top. It had snowed about six inches, and I hadn’t been in snow that deep in half a decade so it was already a good day. I knelt down in this snow to pose for a picture with my dog, Teddy.

The anticipation of getting to this golden treasure was growing with every step I took, every crunchy step. When we finally arrived, I stared down my opponent, the hill, as I mounted my trusty steed, my snow boogie, and cautiously eased my way onto the decline, lightly brushing the snow with my hands for steering. It was a bumpy ride, but I felt like I was riding first class. My routine began to seem rather basic after a while until the hardcore snow fans started to show up. These are the ones who make ramps out of snow. Said ramps will put you a cool yard into the air. One father so graciously invited me to, “Ride (his) jump bro!” I took the kind offer and stared down a new opponent, the hill, again mounting my aforementioned trusty steed, the snow boogie and pushing off more aggressively this time. I didn’t need to steer this time so I grabbed on to the handles placed at the front of the boogie, lifted up at the end of the jump and came down hard, closing my eyes to protect them from the snow that was tossed in my face. This continued on and off for a while as we took breaks to eat and chill. The day came down to a close and we were sad, because the snow day was over. We went to bed, I had another weird eighth grader dream, and woke up the next morning to more

A glass bubble that when lightly shaken suddenly releases millions of tiny particles of fake snow as they hectically float freely throughout the bubble.

    During normal climbing conditions with snow and glaciers, an early start would put you on the summit before the snow would soften from the sun's heat. This would make for a safer and more efficient trek. The lack of snow accounted for a strenuous accent to the summit. We started strong gaining roughly 3,500 feet in the first four and a half hours. However, the soft steep snow-less terrain and high altitude contributed to another four and half hours for the final 2,000 feet.…

    Hi Ms. Pierce, Hope you had a wonderful break and a nice day, The word I would use to describe my break is deciphering because I got a break from dance and school. For example, I was able to sleep to try to avenge the early wakings during school days and early dance practices. In addition to that, I had nothing to be concerned about. Having a break from both school and dance gave me time to think about myself and what I wanted for my future; besides, I was able to unwind. The time I had was crucial to me because sometimes in the middle of all the activities in the year I have no time to think.…

    The snow always fascinated me as a child and that fascination has stayed with me into young adulthood. Something about it invariably grasped my attention, coerced me into halting whatever I was doing at the moment to watch the flurry of snowflakes with wonder. It was winter of 2013 and even though I was at the young age of ten, I had this queer feeling. It felt like there was something missing, as if there was an empty void inside me, I couldn’t pinpoint it. That feeling came by often, especially during that year, and I felt like nothing would ever get rid of that awful feeling.…
