Personal Narrative: Finding Nemo

Decent Essays
When I was a toddler I was a pretty go with the flow type of guy. I never really got mad and I would just chill almost all day. Some of my favorite things to do was to watch movies. One of my favorite movies when I was a kid was Finding Nemo. I honestly do not know why I liked the film so much, but I was just intrigued with it so much that I almost watched it everyday. After a while though my parents got sick and tired of it, but unfortunately for them I never did. Another thing I adored doing was going to football games. I did not care who I was watching I just wanted to watch football. From GVSU games to watching my cousins play in high school I would almost be at a game every weekend. I think that is one of the main contributors for

They had their first date at the Magic Kingdom, they spent all their days off on a Florida beach, and they experienced the technical magic that Disney is so well-known for.…

I swam a little when I was a child, but it wasn’t until I joined the swim team in high school that I really became a dedicated swimmer.…

    From a young age, I always loved playing football; being out on the field is one of the best feelings ever.
