Twenty-Seven Crabs-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
When I awoke I could already smell the sweet salty water, I could already see the sun sparkling off the horizon, I could already hear the seagulls calling, I could already taste the splashing salty water, I could already feel the cold water on my toes.

Driving up I asked everyone one by one, “ How many crabs do you think we are going to catch?” I thought back to when we went last year and we caught twenty-seven crabs, I hoped we would beat that this time!
On the way up I wiggled my tooth like a puppy’s tail when their owner comes home after a long day. Meanwhile my brother’s fought like cats and dogs in the back over who knows what. The salty smell permeated through

As awful as it was, I felt there had to be something I could do. It wasn’t until The Golden Gate Park Stewardship program gave me that opportunity.…
