Personal Narrative Essay: My First Trip To Lagoon

Improved Essays
First memory

It was during the night, my sister happened to be sleeping, and snoring. My brother was already in the kitchen and was asking for his daily drink (milk). I withdrew my stool, opened the fridge and pulled out the milk jug with all my might. Then I climbed up like a monkey to grab a cup ( and sugar, as every child needs sugar with everything.) I poured, it spilled, I poured, it spilled. However, after my third attempt I did it. I gave it to him (after I had some of it) and he savoured it. Then, before I knew it, he was asleep and curled up identical a cat.

It was midday around 11 ,and my first time going to Lagoon! From the outside it looked stunning. It had so many

My sister and I lay against each other because both our backs were sore. We stayed in a hotel for a while, the air tasted like sand because everywhere there was sand. Right when we came in, me and my 3 sibling dozed off. I believe we slept for about 2 days. When we woke up we found ourselves arguing saying “ No, let's get pizza.” and “ We always have pizza! Let's get something new.” We agreed on a pizza, but it was unlike the pizza we generally had, there was no sauce and a miniature amount of cheese.

When we reached our part of the city we were congratulated on coming safely. It was my grandma’s house that we stayed in, it was immense, with about 4 rooms and a roof that you could sleep on. There were about 6 people already living there so including us 10. We stayed there for a month before our relatives came, almost all of the family was there. We had a stunning time, we went to the mountain (with no snow), and the zoo that was beside the house. When we had to come back home I was devastated, this was the best trip I've ever had and I doubt any can top it. (Even with all the

That first day I walked with my cousin, it was windy with the sun shining. We missed a bus so consequently we were late. I insisted on waiting so I told my cousin “Lets just wait, it's not that long .” As she was starting to say “ It's just a ...” Then, before we knew it the bus appeared magically, As we were on the way I realized what she was going to say so I laughed to myself. It was just a block away!

My glasses weren't with me that day and everything was a blur. There were only 7th graders, so that was a relief. I came in and blended in with everyone around me. We went to other classes, jointly like a blob not really knowing where to go, except the one person that was leading us. I was afraid of getting lost so I tried staying as close as possible to the others. We went through all our classes, it was so immense therefore I had a headache. I had no idea what I was going to do the next day because I couldn't recall anything.

Eventually we arrived at the math room , “Hello everyone please take your seats” she said. Accordingly, they all took their seats. They all had their backpack full, while I only had a bus pass. I felt unorganized when she advised us that we needed paper. I asked the person sitting next to me, she was blonde and blue eyed. This happened throughout all classes and fortunately only the required

    It didn’t help that I was also participating in a new program for the school and only a small amount of people were joining. The 21st Century Program was supposed to introduce a technology based learning environment. I wasn’t sure if the program was going to help improve my literacy skills or make them worse, but I had to take the risk and find out the results. The first day of school always made me feel as if I had butterflies in my stomach, dying a little bit on the inside not knowing how my year was going to go. Entering English class, the sight of the teacher, a few students already in their seats, I sat in the desk nearest to the teacher, she seemed kind, sharing a big smile as more students arrived.…

While she was changing me, she would tell me to sit up, lay back down, stick out your feet, and so on.…
