Personal Narrative: The Wild Ride To Minnesota

Improved Essays
The Wild Ride to Minnesota Have you ever taken a trip that you had completely planned out and it ended up not going that way? Well I had an experience like that just last week. Me, my dad, and my friend Jade drove up by Minneapolis, specifically Maple Plain MN, and it didn’t go as planned. We were supposed to go up there, drop off my dad for a work meeting, and go to the Mall of America. I’m about to tell you what actually happened. So we started off the 4 hour drive by stopping by the gas station in Tea, and grabbing plenty of pop and snacks to keep us busy for the majority of the trip, or so we thought. The drive there obviously wasn’t that exciting, as it was all highway and interstate driving. On the way, though, we did see a car start on fire on the other side of the interstate and that was pretty crazy to see a car basically blow up. Shortly after we stopped by a Taco Johns and super inconveniently it was in a tiny town, it was a tiny Taco John's, and there was only one employee! It took him alone like 20 minutes to get our 4 tacos done …show more content…
So as we finally arrived we found out how big this strip mall actually was, as we thought it was going to be like 3 or 4 stores, but it was probably over 30. I set my eyes on a nike store and instantly was drawn to it. I went inside and to my disappointment they only had like 4 pairs of Air Jordan’s and sadly none of them were that cool. So I decided to instead head over to the Under Armour store because I know that they sell Curry’s, and I found a pair I really liked, but I thought to myself I should wait because there were so many stores and I’d probably find another pair. So we continued going down the line of stores and ended up at a Finish Line. I found a pair of Jordans that I really liked there and told an employee in there I would like that shoe in a size 13, but sadly, they didn’t have any bigger than size

    The Midwest is home to states with rich cultural backgrounds and popular tourist attractions. To take a break from the busy schedule I have as a student, and to avoid writing more essays like this, I went on a vacation to Michigan with my mother and two siblings. We visited South Haven, a pleasant port city on Lake Michigan’s east coast, and Detroit, the famous largest city in Michigan. These areas interest me because there’s plenty to do; there are amazing restaurants, breath-taking scenery, and family-friendly, inexpensive entertainment. South Haven is famed for its relaxed atmosphere and homely feel.…

    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.…

    One of the first things I remember about going on that trip is looking down at my feet and thinking that I would die if I fell. I was nine and very light-headed at the time. It was the winter of 2009 and one of the first times I had ever gone to Colorado. The drive there took about 6 hours from our house so you can imagine my excitement at finally getting out of the car as an inpatient nine-year-old. We were renting a small two story log cabin with a hot tub on the second- floor balcony from a family that had a winter home somewhere in Florida.…

    There isn’t anything more breathtaking than going Up North. If you’re not from Michigan you might be wondering, “Where up north?” In Michigan we use “up north” as a term for the upper half of the mitten, I’d say from the top of the thumb up. The UP (Upper Peninsula) can be considered Up North but normally it's just the UP.…

    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…
