Personal Narrative: System Of A Down

Improved Essays
For my 13th birthday all I wanted was concert tickets to see System of A Down. My family came together and decided to buy the tickets so I could bring two guests, one being a friend and the other had to be a parent. I remember receiving the tickets months later and was so shocked because I thought everyone had forgotten about them, which was close to impossible with all the nagging I did. I had to wait until July for the show, but I was already planning in June. I knew I was going to take my friend Hope and my mom told my dad that it was his turn for concert duty. Unfortunately, my father got stuck chaperoning for a band he couldn’t stand which was going to make to the whole night better.
Flash forward to the night of the show, which Hope

    Cool Korn As I sat down with one of the coaches, who is the defensive backs coach on the Tennessee State University (TSU) football staff, I noticed how Coach Korn reminded me of myself. My interviewee was Coach Korn, since I play offensive line, he is not one of my coaches. Coach Korn and I have had our occasional hi and bye’s, but until this interview I knew not much of him. I noticed a few things, one being that he has been interviewed before because when we sat down he showed no signs of nervousness, second is that he kept his hood on throughout the entire interview, and third was that Coach Korn did not speak with a loud voice but at the same time I understood his…

    Some things I would achieve if I was to arrive in an usual place called Fall Hall are explore this district, scout around for new supplies, and the last thing I would do is search around for some water,food, and electricity.

    It was the spring of senior year. I can still remember the feel of the excitement thrumming through our veins – my friend, Zoe and mine. We had met up before the concert to ride together after showering and dressing up while simultaneously dressing down to attend our first official punk rock show. Promptly after getting there and eating a pre-show meal of hot but still greasy, pizza, this being one of many shows for us so we knew the etiquette, we noticed a line for a second show immediately following ours. We knew it had to be major to have people lining up hours before, and sure enough it was partynextdoor, an act I had tried to get tickets for myself months previous, which I voiced to the members of the line, to which they replied, “dude, just sneak in if you can.”…

I came home from school after a terrible day with my report card and it was only one grade below B. My dad acted as if he were mad but had gotten the grades before I did and did not care.…
