Personal Narrative The month of July 2015 I went on a life changing journey. I was going on a eight day liveaboard scuba diving trip in the Bahamas. This trip consisted of fourteen dives including a shark dive, and many other amazing types of dives.
One day in late January of 2015 I got my call to this scuba diving trip. I was at my boy scout meeting on one of the last Mondays of January when they started to talk about the scuba diving trip in the Bahamas. Immediately I ran home and asked my mom if I could go on this trip and I gave her the price and the other details about the trip.

When my parents drove me to the airport and dropped me off, I started to feel nervous because I was going to another country without any of my parents of close friends. When I walked through customs I knew there was no turning back.
The flight to the Bahamas was fun, and the drive to the boat was nice, since I got to see Paradise Island and some other parts of the island. I got on the boat, and got a tour, and met the crew. The crew went over what the schedule was and how the diving worked. The crew then got the boat ready and we set sail. We sailed till about midnight and the moon over the open water was very pretty. The next day after breakfast we go ready for the first

    When my family was leaving for America, everyone was really sad. I understood that they were saddened because we were leaving, but I wasn’t. I was excited that we were about to go to the airport and actually go on an airplane. I knew that it was going to be a long time before I see my aunts, uncles, and cousins again, but I didn’t want my memory of my first flight to be filled me wiping tears from my eyes and worrying that I can’t find tissues for my running nose. I was instead very excited that we were about to go halfway around the world inside a big hunk of metal shaped like a bird.…
