Personal Narrative: My Trip To The Lake

Improved Essays
When I was just finishing my 6th grade year, all my friends and I decided to go to the lake. We didn’t want parents and all of our parents figured we were old enough to take care of ourselves and each other. I was so excited, I bought a new bathing suit and everything just for this event. We got there and swam all over the lake it was exciting. For me it was the first time my parents let me go to the lake without supervision, I was finally a “big” kid. My crush was there, my friends were there and finally we had the freedom to buy our own snacks and mess around at the lake like the teenagers would! While sitting on a dock with a guy, whom I had a large crush on, we were talking about life and our plans for summer, he commented on my leg hair.

    It all began during the summer of 2015. I had just taken my beat- up fossil of a john- boat off of Gun Lake to fish in a different lake, and were going to put it back on Gun Lake at my grandparent’s house. After rinsing the multitude of worm guts and dirt out of it, we were going to put it back into the lake. My grandparent’s neighbor, Hal, got the chance to come along with me. We vaulted into what we called the “Rhino”, a quad equipped with a driver’s and passenger’s seat.…

    I was five when I swam out into Lake Ramsey. The water was a warm brown, as with most water in Louisiana. This was was not the first time I had gone to Ramsey, but this time, it was for a specific purpose. I was going to learn how to ski and my grandfather was going to teach me. This would be the start of the lessons he, as my mentor, would teach me.…

    My vision started to fail on mile four of the six-mile hike. Small white specks flickered across my field of vision. The next thing to go was my hearing, followed by my ability to walk in a straight line. My platoon sergeant saw the signs of heat stroke and forced me to stop. I should have stopped myself, but all I could think was: you will finish this, or you will die trying.…

    My previous camping trips I have taken in the past years have been memorable and full of hardship. I consider myself a very outgoing and adventurous person, that is why I go on crazy trips. Canoeing is my preferred way of traveling when touring lakes and rivers such as the Boundary waters and the Flambeau river. Major disadvantage of canoes is that they weigh up to 85 pounds. The weight matters being when crossing land to get to the next lake the canoe goes on your shoulders to carry it.…

    My experience with Holz Lake was unique to say the least, from leaking waders to completely falling into the water it was all a very hands on activity. Coming to SES one of the things I was most excited for was the pond profile. All of the teachers said, “Don’t feel bad if you fall into the pond, it happens every year.” Hearing this, I knew I would likely be the student to fall into the pond. I’m just that clumsy; however I planned to be very cautious during every visit to the pond.…
