Personal Narrative: Tuck And Roll

Decent Essays
“Tuck and roll” that’s what they say when jumping off or out of a moving vehicle but that didn’t work for me.
I was about five years old, I was visiting my grandparents that I hadn’t seen in a while. I was riding with my dad on a four wheeler and I was having fun until I felt the four wheeler jump, and then I turned around to see my dad jumping off. That was when I got scared.
I tried to drive it, but with my family, chasing and yelling for me to jump off it was hard to do. When I did try to jump off I landed on the ground and the four wheeler flipped and landed on top of me, pinning me down, I didn’t get hurt, I remember my dad got yelled at and I mean by everyone. My sister even yelled at him after she got done balling her eyes out of course,

    Losing someone you watched suffer in their last days on earth doesn’t feel anything like losing a friend that was your age who had their whole life ahead of them, and losing both in less than a 2 month span doesn’t help either.

    I spent two months in California and basically brought my entire closet with me. While I was packing for my trip, I knew I was bringing an excessive amount of clothing but, I justified myself by saying "you never know where you'll end up going." Fast forward two months, I wore the same 5 outfits the ENTIRE time. I had the closet filled with dresses and jackets that I did not touch and were honestly collecting dust during the two months. This is when I realized I may have a shopping problem and need to purge my closet.…
