Personal Narrative: The Wave Runner

Improved Essays
Parents! The most confusing species on the planet!

Have you ever just wanted to ask your parents something and all you want them to say was yes and not to say anything else. Not to mention that is all I wanted them to say, when I asked if I could go on the wave runner all by myself. In addition all I saw was Waverunner cutting through the water such as a knife cutting through jello. The waves were just the perfect height and it was about 85 degrees out it was just perfect. When I saw my sister on the Waverunner that is all I wanted to do was fly through the water with the wind pushing my hair only one direction and that was back.
I wanted to ride it so bad I didn’t want anything else in the entire world at that moment. I wanted to take a risk and go up and ask even though I knew that

I was looking around and saw my little cousin in the sandbox and I just walked toward my little cousin, because they were still talking! For a while I thought they weren’t even talking about it. So I decided to take another leap and ask again, even though I knew they were going to yell at me. I asked my parents again, and they said “sure but dad has to watch you.” I couldn't believe my ears, I thought they were going to yell at me or say NO! Of course I got on it right away I thought I heard my dad say something to me, but I was so anxious that I couldn't wait! I was out in a flash it felt so good to be out there the last thing I wanted to do was stop and go back! There was no one else on the lake it was just me so literally I could go anywhere I wanted without having to run into any other boats it was just amazing!
After I finally got off the Waverunner I felt like a whole bunch of weight was lifted off my shoulders. Now I could do more teenager things that I couldn't do when I was younger that was a big milestone I overcame in my

    “A leader has to watch every word he or she says and quickly learns that you can’t go through life without a few critics, some well deserved” (pg. 5), this quote as some of the beginning words from MacDonald truly shows that a leader has responsibilities to uphold to. I found it interesting that he showed these responsibilities are not only external, but internal as well. Many do not realize the internal battles that leaders in ministry go through, and in order for leaders to handle a situation in a mature manner; they must uphold to the responsibilities of character they are expected to maintain. There are many internal and external expectations of leaders that are specified in Building Below the Waterline, but only some really stood out to me as factors that I would practice more than others in my leadership positions.…

    Cedar Point Narrative

    My first time at Cedar Point It was June 6th, 2016, the end of my eighth-grade year at TKMS, I woke up, at 5:30, jumped out of bed, got dressed, ate, and yelled at my mom to get in the car, all by 6:20. But of course we weren’t even close to ready, and we didn’t even need to leave until 7:30. So after reluctantly going back inside, to pack a spare pair of clothes, sunscreen, and our tickets (which we almost forgot), we were finally ready to go and it was already 7:40, “MOM!!!” I yelled panicking, “WE’RE GONNA BE LATE!!!” “We’re fine,” my mom said, “now calm down and say goodbye.”…

    Most people might say that a scout is rowdy and out of order; there is no doubt they are absolutely right. To spend an entire week with eight of them, that's something. We all met in a parking lot excited, with our bags that contained pretty much anything you would never give to a group of 12 year-old boys. We’d go over what we packed: pocket knife, candy, mallet, slingshot, etc. We load up the cars and split up into two groups one in each car.…

Until that is the rain clouds came out of nowhere and began to pour on us. Seeing a giant storm approaching, my uncle knew he needed to hurry and get us all home safe.

    A part of me always knew that I’d have to tell the story of the big quake- and I always hoped that I would never come to that. When it happened, my mind froze. I was sitting on my couch, reading ‘The Kite Runner’. I was trying to prepare myself psychologically to get up and knock some things off the to-do list; picking up my sister from work and before my mother got home to a house that would be hopefully clean.…

    I was terrified till I realised that I actually wasn’t scared, I was having a ton of fun. We were fly around turns, going up and down drops, and before I knew it the ride was over. shockingly to me, I didn’t want it to be over, I want to go on it again. The 200 foot drop that terrified me became the new highlight of my year. To some, it may just be “another roller coaster”, but to me it was a learning experience.…

    I don't care who you are, how strong you are, how brave you you are, how tough you are, how famous you are, we all have at one point in our life been afraid of at least one thing and there is not one person in this world that can honestly say ¨I have never feared anything¨. Fear is a natural emotion which happens when we feel that something can overwhelm us or we don't know what to do about a certain situation. I'll never forget my fear of heights that has haunted me for the first decade of my life and continues to haunt millions of people around the world as well as other fears. I remember the day I was attempting to climb up a ladder four years ago and I had no problem getting up to where I wa supposed to go, but when I had to come down it…
