Personal Narrative Essay: Growing Up In A Small Town

Growing up in a small town was both a negative and positive thing. We never had anything to do so we would go places. My dad had a boat so we would go to West Point Lake every chance we got. I loved it and I always had so much fun, we would have picnics and go tubing all the time. One time, when I was about 7 years old, we took my whole family to the lake. I was so excited to show my cousins everything so when the boat stopped, I was the first one out. I HATED wearing those ugly water shoes so I chose not to wear them. Right when I stepped out, my foot started throbbing so I walked onto the shore and my foot was gushing blood from a bad cut. I screamed and my parents immediately took me to the ER and I had to get 4 stitches! I haven’t been …show more content…

There’s some people out in the world that world rather make one person’s life miserable because that person doesn’t believe in what they believe in than just worrying about themselves and letting everyone be
