Personal Narrative: Road Trip To Remember

Improved Essays
Road Trip to Remember Summer can either be two and a half months of excessive boredom or extravagant fun. This year my summer was a combination of both. For the first month, my parents and older sister were trying to figure out the best place to visit. In the beginning several weeks I was quite enthusiastic to help plan the trip but as the days dragged on it got quite boring. Every time we would make a reasonable plan some random crisis would arise. Once it was a big family function, on another occasion there just was not enough time. Finally after weeks of trying my sister had an idea.
“Mama?” She called from the living room.
“Yes?” My mom answered in Punjabi from the kitchen.
“Do you think if I can make a good plan for a road trip, you’ll be able to convince Dad to let us go?” she asked.

It was first planned to take three hours but we ended up eating out again. We ate Subway and I got the foot long, oven roasted chicken, that I was craving for about 3 weeks. After we ate, we decided to visit a Gurdwara (Indian temple) in Calgary. We ended up getting an hour behind schedule. We were staying at one of my dad’s friend’s house for a day. We got there in 3 hours at 8:30 p.m. We had not eaten dinner year and we were all famished even though we ate only 4 hours earlier. The family had prepared an Indian buffet for us. After so many days of eating American food, we were all craving Indian food. I ended up eating 3 bowls of Shaheed Paneer, 3 roti’s, a big bowl of chicken, a plate of rice, a bowl of sabji, and a bowl of lamb. Afterward, for dessert, I ate two drumstick ice creams. My siblings, mother, and I slept at about 12:00 a.m. and my dad spent 3 more hours talking to his friends so he slept at 3:00a.m. We woke up at 9:00 in the morning, got changed and set off to the Edmonton mall, the biggest mall in

    Officially, starting from that day, my life was filled with elation and happiness. I never want to forget the time I started reading Maximum Ride. Starting off my day, I woke up from bed, gulped down some chow, and went back to sitting on my more than comfortable bed, reading the book of my future dreams: “Maximum Ride.” It was necessary to read this book, for a competition, called, Battle of the Books. Continuing on, the deeper I read into the book, the more hooked into the book I was.…

    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.…

    The thing about running is that you hate it until it’s over, at least for me that’s true. Personally, I like running, and it gives me a chance to get out and work towards something. All throughout high school, I’ve run track, and for two years I ran cross-country, both are great sports. The two years I ran cross-country made me wish I ran all four years. If you’re part of more than one sport, it’s natural to choose a favorite.…

    When I ride it's like the earth stops at every corner so I can check to make sure a, loud, car isn't roaring towards me. It's like that feeling in your chest that tells you that everything is going to be ok, yet your mind is screaming at you that it won't be. I ride because I was thought that you need to be active in life, but it was never about the one hour of activity time we are supposed to have growing up. it was much more than that. I didn't need help to ride, I needed help to face down my enemies, or conquer my dreams.…

    I first realized I was in foreign territory when I witnessed my boss take a drag of a marijuana joint, take a shot of whiskey and walk out of the bar with a girl he had just met at our show. Suddenly, I was thrust into a world I had never experienced before. I was merely a boy surrounded by middle-aged men, who were seasoned veterans in the field of musical touring. The closest person to myself in age was 10 years my elder. I had not known the hardships I would soon be witnessing while out on the road.…

    The Plane Ride When I was nine my family started a move from the tranquil suburbs of San Jose, California to the desert city of Windhoek, Namibia, located in southern Africa. My parents were taking myself, along with my younger sister and brother, around the globe because they felt a calling from God to be missionaries. All of our possessions were sold off, including my much beloved toys, until everything we had could fit into eight large suitcases. These suitcases are what we carried to the airport as we prepared for our journey. I felt no small amount of apprehension and excitement in what lay ahead of me in the new country, but an event I would experience in the coming flight would forever change and shape my perspective of how I see the…
