Personal Narrative-Josh, Jalen, And Carson

Improved Essays
It was the summer of 2008, I hung out with my friends Josh, Carson, and Jalen almost on a daily basis. Biking, wrestling, or doing anything that could keep us active is what we did for fun. But one of these times something bad happened that I couldn't own up to. One day I had Josh, Jalen, and Carson over. We started off the day hanging out upstairs in the living room playing Wii Sports and Mario Kart. Once in awhile we would become angry, then wrestle each other to the floor trying to tap one another out by a chokehold. Every time we would do that my dad or my mom would come over to the living room and told us to stop, before we break something. We always ended up finishing our rounds of Mario Kart or whatever game we were playing, …show more content…
We start to head downstairs, deciding instead of all going all out on each other we do rounds. We take a piece of paper from my dad’s office and write down the bracket. First it’s me versus Carson then next is Josh vs Jalen, then the two winners of the two matches vs each other(each match is best of three).
Carson and I go in our own corners. Jalen starts recording, we first introduce ourselves, then Josh counts down from three. Carson dives at my legs, making me fall down. I then hug his legs causing him to fall. I lay on top of him making it harder for him to get up. Carson rolls from underneath and stands up before I can get reach of him leg. He puts me in a headlock and pulls back with all of his strength causing me to lose breath and to lose the first round.
I get aggravated from him doing this. Getting into our corners, Josh counts down, charging into the middle. Carson dives for my legs once again, but I am yet able to keep my balance, I bend down to wrap my arms around his next and fall forward causing all of my body weight to choke him forward. It takes six-seconds then finally he

I grow more and more furious as Josh and I get ready for round two. We head back downstairs to get round 2 going. While I am still irate round two starts up’. Slowly walking to the mattresses, Josh throws me to the ground like he did to everyone else to win. He tries to put his arms around me but I refuse to let it happen. I roll over and hop back up. Have my back towards the window my last straw has been pulled. With everything things I have, my anger takes over. I run Josh into the wall parallel to the window and crack! Josh moves from the wall revealing a monstrous

    Attack When a mindset brings forth both failure and success, it is difficult to understand its effectiveness. In my athletic career, I experience both victory and defeat as a direct result of aggressiveness. I would rather reflect upon my athletic careers and think “I cannot believe I did that,” rather than think “I wish I did that”. Whether it be stealing home late in a baseball game with my team down by two or trying to granby-roll my opponent while I am up by ten, I refuse to be conservative in athletics. During my junior wrestling season nearly every one of my losses were a result of over-aggressiveness.…

We were there for Chrisgiving, which is a family tradition, and we wanted to do something fun!

    In the book, On Fire, John O’Leary is always encouraging us to “take off our mask” and really get to know each other. In my, My Journey paper, I could have dived deeper and “taken off my mask” in it to let people know what has really happened in my life. It has always been a hard topic to talk about, but as I have gotten older it has become easier to open up about. John O’Leary made it clear in On Fire by saying, “It’s time to embrace your story and to celebrate the amazing miracle of your life” (O 'Leary, Page 51).…
