Raptors Vs. Miami Heat: Personal Narrative

Decent Essays
After my dream of meeting Jakob (FaZe Teeqo) I see that there's a Raptors game coming up and of course I wanted to go to it. It’s in 1 day, so I book the next flight to Toronto. I return my Jeep at the rental place and then call one last Uber to take me to the airport. Once again, I check in my bag through security that once again took way longer than it should have. Because of the long line I was forced to rush to my plane and I had no time to shower or eat before hand. I felt dirty but at least I made my plane. I didn't want to miss the game 7 basketball game, Toronto Raptors vs Miami Heat in the playoffs the Raptors have never made it this far.

If they win this game they make history and they also move to Cleveland in the eastern conference

    Imagine a rocket, specifically molded, perfectly symmetrical, prepared to do it’s job exactly how it needs to with no room for error. Seems almost perfect, on the other hand we have the Rockets, my AAA hockey team the summer before sixth grade.

    People coming from a different planet would think every day things we do in life are weird. What we have adapted to and think are normal look very weird to others who haven’t seen people doing things like this. Such as someone who has never shaved before would think that is very odd to shave your beard. Or someone who has never seen a drive threw would think it’s weird to have people have food handed out the window. As we think other cultures are weird we have to look at the fact that our culture is weird to others People that have never seen basketball would thing it is a bunch of people running around with a ball.…

    Like all children all I ever wanted was to be big and do big people things. I engaged in a few family members that I would look up to and try everything they did. I use to pretend to go grocery shopping and being a parent at times. At the age of eight, I had worn the worst pain ever and that was watching my five, year old brother getting hit by a car while trying to cross the street riding a bicycle that had a loose chain.

    I was panicking by now, but we finally got there and saw my brother talking to the flight attendant. The flight attendant had a black eye on his right eye, and he just told us that there was no way that we could get on the plane, even though it hadn’t left yet. We needed to come up with some kind of plan to distract him. He already had a black eye, so I pulled a hat out of my luggage and pulled it over his eyes. I tied a belt around the hat, so he couldn’t get it off easily.…
