Personal Narrative: The Yellow Bus

Improved Essays
The sun shines as the yellow bus turns the corner and moves its way up the street. My mom and dad are sitting in the front seat as I am sitting in my car seat in the back. A green backpack is strapped to my shoulders. I am a tad nervous, but excited at the same time. Closer and closer comes the bus. Sun shining into the car, the door opens and I hop out onto the pavement. There are other kids waiting for the bus too. Kids that are older than I, huddle in a circle next to the red stop sign talking. Brakes squealing, the bus comes to a halt and the kids start moving into the bus. Grabbing my hand, my dad takes me and leads me to the bus. Close behind, my mom follows taking photos of me. We walk up the stairs of the bus and the bus

    The Blue Trailer Tromping up the wooden steps of our trailer, light blue paint chips off under my shoes. I swing open the front door and see the living room. Memories of family members sleeping over and birthday parties fill my mind. Carpet a light brown color, wallpaper that was at first white, but faded with age.

At that moment, I was thinking it was only a matter of minutes before I was a licensed driver.…

    It all started when I was in about fourth grade. A group of firefighters came to my school for a presentation. I remember vividly an intimidatingly burly fire marshall telling I don’t remember much about it, except that they told each of us that we needed an escape plan in case of a fire. I remember a story my mom had told me many times about a fire that devastated her family when she was a little girl. It made me shake in my shoes.…
