Personal Narrative: Helicopter

Decent Essays
I was on my way to the training field being transported by this extraordinary piece of work known as helicopter.
“So far so good,” I thought to myself.
I was a loner. No one to talk to with no one to explain my feelings to. I was close to depressed. Not because I was with no one but because of going to war with no other choice to. I could have ran but that would have only worsened my depression. So now here I am be flown by a helicopter I knew nothing about with people I was forced to start trusting with my own life. This wasn’t going to be easy but I knew I could get through

    Back in the days of yore, when I still walked the soft warm grass of my homeland, back when the great ice storm was still fresh in the minds of men, I lived in a trailer in the country, between Cridersville and Wapakoneta. I had a lot of free time and not many friends to talk to, save for Lucas who lived all the way in Buckland. I spent the majority of my free time at my neighbor’s house. My neighbors were the most ignorant gun toting Americans I’ve ever known.…

People who have never been there ask me what it was like. Did you get shot at or shoot anyone? Others will share stories about a sibling, cousin, friend, or someone they knew who went to fight in a war. Even though they know someone who fought in a war, they themselves don’t fully understand what I went through on a daily basis.…

    The smell of hairspray, hair wax, and burning hair at 4:30 AM isn’t pleasant to most people but to me, it’s one of my favorite things to wake-up to. We had already made it through semi-finals and now we are in about to preform in finals. Only 8 teams make it to finals, and currently, we are in 7th. Smearing on foundation, patting on the blush, and bronzer, layering on the sparkly eyeshadow. Oh, and who could forget about the intensely bright red lipstick?…

It was a nice fall day in my backyard, and I was flying my new drone higher than I've ever flown it before. It’s height was about two times the size of my house and it looked about a centimeter wide from where I was standing. I was just thinking of how great this video would be that I was getting when suddenly, the drone jerked backward.…

    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.

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…
