Personal Narrative Essay: The Feeling Of Happiness In My Life

Improved Essays
There is a feeling that makes me the happiest. The warm feeling when you enter your home on a breezy autumn day. My lungs, that were full of fresh autumn air, are now filled with the cinnamon apple candle my mother is burning. My house is clean, and all I want to do is sit and get cozy in a soft warm blanket on my couch. That is the feeling of happiness to me. The dull day of school had just gotten done with. I am on my way home on the rambunctious bus. The bus ride where all the rowdy children are letting out all their energy that was bottled up all day. I am sitting on the seats, that are hard as rocks, feeling my butt gradually going numb. Thinking about how this bus ride seems like an eternity, and how excited I am to be on my way home. As the bus stops at the long gravel road that the bus drops me off at, I get off and the fresh autumn air fills my lungs. I now start my trek down the gravel road towards my house. I hear the crunching as I stomp on crisp leaves that are on the road. Looking at the almost leafless branches dance in the cool breeze, and watching as more leaves fall to the ground and scurry across the gravel. All these things happening are reminding me why fall is my favorite season, and why it gives me that happy feeling. …show more content…
He jumps up on my legs and I can feel his sharp claws poke at my thighs. Acting like he has not seen me in one hundred years. Licking me with his slobbery wet tongue on my hands, that when the wind blows I can feel the moisture chill on my skin. I continue to pet is fine black and white spotted fur and he wags his stubby tail in pleasure. We continue to frolic through the discolored leaves in my lawn. As we run, I can hear the leaves crunch and rustle. I kick up some leaves and they are gone with the wind, as they linger throughout the air. When I finished playing with my dog, that is now no longer energetic, I make my way to my front

    My mother and grandmother summon me to the white Dodge Caravan, and I reflect on all the studying I have done while I am in the van. As we drive to the school, I stare out the window to see the brilliant azure of the sky and the bright green of all of the grass, as well as graceful birds and finicky squirrels. As we approach the building, my nerves build up again and…

    The Elephant Never Forget My happiness comes from something I hold dear to me. I have carried this with me my entire life, even when I did not know I had it. Sometimes I might misplace it, but with a little help from others I am able to find it. On occasion it makes me sad, angry, or frustrated but more than often it makes me excited, cheerful, and happy.…

    When I was 17, right after I graduated high school, my father and I went on a cross-country road trip from small-town Nevada to Cedar Point (a theme park) in Ohio. I remember three things from that trip: being scared to death while driving through the fog, my father and I hating one another by the end of the trip (totally normal after being in the car with someone you’re not very close with for 5 days), and I remember the trees near the end of the trip. I came back to the desert saying, “I want to move to Ohio or Indiana one of these days. It’s so green there.” People laughed, told me I didn’t know what a “real winter” was like Ohio has, and they crushed my dreams (a recurring theme in my life).…

    Positive Vibes I was born and raised in Queens, New York, and had lived there for 16 1⁄2 years until I came to a resolution from my parents to move to Virginia, which shocked me. I was shocked because after living in the same apartment for 16 years, I've got used to the environment of where I lived at, and felt comfortable, and that's actually where I started my love of playing basketball. Being in New York was a place I thought I never leave because I enjoyed the company I was around and the many different things to do. I always thought about how my life would be if I moved somewhere else, and became the new person and how difficult it would be. Moving to another state wasn't something I planned on doing, until after graduate.…

    Overall, my experience in block four, for the past nine weeks has probably been one of my favorite classes all year. There was never a day where I was just completely bored. I learned countless new things involving my Macbook that I will continue to use throughout my four years at SUA, without a doubt. I never knew how make iMovies and brochures, or use voice overs and the green screen before taking this class. My skills using laptops have greatly improved while learning during this term.…

    I find that the definition of happiness depends on the person and circumstances, and to me happiness is not a mere emotion that I wish to have every single moment in my life. Happiness is a relative term that some people consider an expected result of doing good deeds, and I believe it is a memorable feeling that lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of effort and always linked to a place in some way. In order to understand what happiness is, I looked into my past and tried to find out if there is a formula for happiness. From my perspective, the level of personal happiness fluctuates depending on the situation.…
