Personal Narrative: Hit The Road

Decent Essays
Sunday morning I can hear my alarm going off, and I thought to myself should I get up or hit the snooze button. I decided to get dressed and make some coffee and a lunch. I did not want to wake the children I tiptoed to their rooms to kiss them on their foreheads. It’s still dark outside; the sun has not risen just yet. I can feel the crisp air around my neck. Once I start the car, I’d say a prayer for safe traveling. Ready to hit the highway coast, I put on my music playlist, a mixture of genres from gospel, Rnb, jazz, and country. The music helps me get into the mood. Once my tires hit the pavement of the highway, I’m driving steadily sixty-five miles. Everything is calm from the light traffic to the wave of the trees. Driving calms me free

    When I ride it's like the earth stops at every corner so I can check to make sure a, loud, car isn't roaring towards me. It's like that feeling in your chest that tells you that everything is going to be ok, yet your mind is screaming at you that it won't be. I ride because I was thought that you need to be active in life, but it was never about the one hour of activity time we are supposed to have growing up. it was much more than that. I didn't need help to ride, I needed help to face down my enemies, or conquer my dreams.…

    I woke with a start at the obnoxious noise coming from my alarm. It was 9:00 a.m. on a Thursday, in the middle of the summer. Today, I was going to my favorite place in the world: the Tulsa State Fair. I dragged myself down the creaking stairs and into the family room, where I turned on the television. I then ate a bowl of cocoa puffs and went back upstairs to prepare myself for the day.…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…

    The road most people in my community go down you shouldn't expect me to writing this. My family doesn't have the most money in the world and we don't have the most opportunities here. My hometown is one of the poorest in the country and many people would expect me to just quit school and get a job to support my family, but that was not the case with me. I pushed myself to achieve something greater than what others around me have done. I didn't want to fall into the stereotype that because I am part Mexican I’m lazy or just another trouble maker because I'm not that!…
