Personal Narrative: My Field Trip To Sacramento

Improved Essays
I was born in Sacramento, California in the Natomas area. In Natomas, I feel like I know everyone. I have been here since I was born and I think majority people have a love-hate relationship with Sacramento. At times people are saying how great Sacramento is. People love to go to the Sacramento River, Sand Cove, right off of Garden Highway. Other days people are complaining about how much the weather sucks. It is true, the weather here can unpredictable here. There are not many places where it is 100 degrees on Monday and a cool 60 raining like cats and dogs by Wednesday. Being that Sacramento is so close to the Bay Area, and we do not have an actual football team of our own, there are many San Francisco Forty Niner or Oakland Raider fans. …show more content…
For example, a field trip to Sly Park or Westminster Woods is a rite of passage for almost all fourth, fifth, or sixth graders in Sacrament. I remember in sixth grade, and experiencing the outdoors with my peers. We went hiking, swimming, and were able to bonded over nature. We spend the whole week being split up into groups. Another field trip most kids in Sacramento get to experience is the Discovery Museum. This is usually in the third or fourth grade and it is a chance to see how science and space work up close and in person. Some other attractions that only a true Sacramentan can fully appreciate are the Sacramento Zoo, Fairytale Town, and Funderland, Sutter's Fort, the Crocker Museum and the Historical Train Museum in Old Sac. You cannot mention attraction in Sacramento without talking about the Sacramento River or the Folsom lake. I remember spending countess hours there are a kid. There is also a notorious side to Sacramento that most outside of here do not know about. Dorothea Puente, was a serial killer, convicted of killing elderly residents of her boarding home. Her house, located in downtown Sacramento, has been renovated and turned into a museum where you can take

    Lemoore, California. The 559, the 93245, the small rural town located in the central region of the San Joaquin Valley. A place that will melt flip flops to the ground in the summer, yet it will have people gathering around a fire in the winter with their hands wrapped tightly around a steaming cup of cocoa. Not much goes on in this town and it is not quite what someone would call a vacation destination, but there is indeed something special about this town.

    We got to see stalagmites, stalactites, flowstones, chandeliers and soda straws. We took lots and lots of pictures because if I didn't slow my family, I feel like they wouldn't have believed me. We spent about half our day there, and then after that she took me to the San Antonio Zoo. That zoo was humongous, way bigger than the one in the valley. I saw monkeys, elephants, rhinoceros, lions, zebras, and even penguins.…

    California attracted people because it represented a place where dreams were made into reality. Its glittering reputation has regressed throughout the years between 1986 and 2015. James J. Rawls described California as a place of promise and paradox; however, it is no longer thought of as a place of promise. Areas of California like Los Angeles and Hollywood have helped develop the ideology of California as creating fame, success, and fortune, but current economic and environmental instability have altered its attractive identity. Many people no longer wish to live in California.…

    Growing up in Southern California we spent most of our summers at Lake Havasu and Parker. For as long as I can remember, getting to spend my summers on the lake with my close friends and family was what got me through the school year, knowing that for a full month I would have no cares in the world except for what adventures lay ahead of us. As the school year came to an end, all we could think about was getting to the lake to start our last summer together before we all ventured off in separate directions. Starting to pack and load up the RV was all I could think about for days, seeing as this was the last summer we would all spend together.…
