Personal Narrative: Lake Trant And Great Neck

Decent Essays
On Friday night, I was relaxing on my couch, when a knock came at the door. I went to get it, and what I saw was inspirational.

    As the daughter of parents who love to travel, I’ve had the pleasure of travelling across Canada and America as well as a few other countries from a young age. I have visited the loud and bustling streets of Tokyo and the ethereal gardens in Kyoto, stood on the edge of the Grand Canyon, walked the strip in Las Vegas, and watch the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean in Martha’s Vineyard. Although I should be able to look back on a childhood filled with events and memories from trips, I find it difficult to recall most vacations without a visual prompt. When I flip through old family photo albums, I don’t recall much more than what is shown in their pages. The outdated clothing, the people, and the locations are seen in the images, and therefore…

    Spoon River, a small little town full with people who are seen in the light and dark. Unfortunately, I came from a family who was seen in the dark within the public eyes. Yes, growing in in the south, during the 40’s and where seeing cows and farmers was the norm, came with racial situations because both of my parents, Lisa and Marvin Smith, were African Americans educational teachers. My home was very small but was full with love because of my parents were at a point, in their life, where nothing on the outside mattered more than showing each other love, support and raising me to have strength and be prepared for the outside. Growing up was difficult because I wasn’t able to play in certain parks, water fountains and even walking on a different side of the streets.…

    III At the airport, I caught a bus to the Detroit depot where I boarded another headed north through Saginaw and Bad Axe. We should have lived in Bad Axe I thought, and my thoughts made me sad as I took a seat behind the driver. The best thing about riding the bus was that the people who ride the buss had money problems or health problems; otherwise, they would drive themselves. Therefore, they kept to themselves and allowed the other passengers the freedom to remain silent.…

This is a place where everything seems too perfect, and where I learned of a concept called acatalepsy: the idea that it is truly impossible to understand anything. This secluded sanctimonious space known as Horse Shoe Lake on a hiking trail in Red River, New Mexico, heralds a feeling of pinning and existentialism for me. In my memory, the first thing my mind and heart are drawn to is that of the tantalizing lake.…

We were all so hungry that we ordered room service, while my brothers were in the pool with their friends. As I sat impatiently waiting for the food, I watched all of the cars pass by.
