Personal Narrative: My Dream Of Bennet Newman

Great Essays
Nothing bums me more than having to say to the guys at the hunting store that I am now working for Bennet Newman. After spending many years making fun of his fake love for the wilderness, I feel like the most hypocrite person in the planet. When I was a kid my dream was to live in the mountains in my tent, hunting and hiking every day.
I wanted to be a hunter like my father. He taught me every little thing about hunting and surviving in the mountains. He was famous in the hunting world for his knowledge and ability to track wild animals. Naturally I started to learn from him and eventually got very good at hunting. When I was fifteen years old, I was sure that I was going to become a professional hunter and I was going to make a living hunting.
Everything changed two years ago when my father went in a hike with my mother. They got attacked by a grizzly bear. Both of my

I was angry and sad at the same time. That same week I had to get a job and start being a grownup. I have been working for Mr. Newman for two straight years now. I really hated his way of doing business. He was an awful boss. Because he paid their employees well, he thought he could be abusive. The pay was very good, but the job sucked. I know that being a tour guide sounds like something cool, specially if you love the mountains like me. In reality you are just the servant of the snobby “campers” that want to experience the wilderness, but don’t want to carry the backpacks of setup their tents. In a normal day I will (or would???) (would is better) wake up early and get one of the morning tours to the camp site. At approximately eight o’ clock I would start setting up the tents that Mr. Newman had already assigned to me before the hike. He would divide all his campers between me and Angela. Mr. Newman would give each one of us a yellow binder with a map of the base camp and the places where each camper would like his tent to be

    I shall always remember my first year working at Turkey Hill Ranch. I have always possessed an enduring fondness of the lovely church camp over all the years I’ve spent there as a camper, but I never imagined that its unique nature and pleasant atmosphere would impart such invaluable wisdom. This quiet and seemingly insignificant breadth of woods and field, tucked away amongst the encompassing depths of central Missouri, gave me an abundance of clarity on the exceeding importance of humility, service to others, and a bit of hard work in the composition of effective stewardship. Before becoming a part of the Summer staff at Turkey Hill, I was often impressed at the smooth and continuous operation of the camp week after week, being that it was…
