Personal Narrative: My Trip To Montreal

Improved Essays
I woke up late and rushed to pack my suitcase, grab some cash, and make it to the airport in time for my flight to Montreal. My Uber driver was on point, getting me to FLL with time to spare. I breezed through security, grabbed some coffee, and jumped on the plane like a boss.

Three and a half hours later, my flight landed safely at YUL. As I was going through customs I noticed that the officers were being especially invasive. "Where are you coming from? Where are going? How long will you be here? What is the purpose of this visit?" I had no idea ISIS committed heinous crimes during the flight. My phone was still on airplane mode.

The first level of security asked if I had any cash on me. I politely told them I brought $7,000 USD. They overreacted and sent me

Canadians are so salty about American currency. I used to go hunting with my dad way up north in Minnesota and all the Canucks wanted to talk about was how our dollar was only worth 90 cents to them. Oh, how times have changed! How's our 1.33 conversion rate now? I was feeling much better.

The place looked nothing like it did in the photos. It had a terrible, pungent, musty smell in every room. Someone created a makeshift bathroom in a closet by putting a toilet right next to the water heater. The walls were covered with one coat of nasty, smudged, white paint. The beds were simply mattresses without bed frames.

There were four bedrooms. Each one had a window that could see into the adjacent room. The windows were covered with huge, demonic paintings laced with alchemy related Illuminati symbols that I had seen in paramedic textbooks. The place was certifiably evil.

    My life was changed forever when I decided to go with a group from my church on a mission trip to host a bible school in Croix des Bouquets, Haiti. I had been warned prior to going that it would change my life in a drastic way, but no one could have prepared me for the amount of brokenness and heartbreak I would witness. Flying into Port au Prince, even from the air I could see that the homes were dilapidated, and the ones that weren’t, were pretty close to falling apart. I could see trash and pollution in the ocean and piled up on the land, and debris still left over from the earthquake that happened in 2010. Landing in the airport was nerve-wracking.…
