Personal Narrative: My Trip To Alabama

I, Tyler J. Corstange, was born May 4th, 2004, at Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I’m 11 years old and I go to Gull Lake Middle School. I have two sisters Maddie and Grace, one brother Owen, and a dog named Buddy. My dad’s name is Jeff and my mom’s name is Laura. We love to play sports, argue with each other and we don’t like to wear shoes. I have had many important adventures in my life that includes sports, fishing and hobbies.

Visiting to a state that I have always wanted to go is to visit Colorado with my family; therefore, it was fun while going to that place. This happened last years’ summer. There are a few things that we did in that state. So before we went to Colorado, we had to drive from one state to another. Like we first drove from Illinois, our state, to Iowa. We had to stop in Iowa for many reasons. Our family had to stop to using bathrooms, we also stop and to get gas because we drove on the highway, and sometimes we do have to stop and get some food and drinks because we’re always hungry and thirsty; and after we do those stuffs, it’s time to get back onto the highway.

Being born and raised in Florida it was evident that I was going to experience some beautiful nature as a child. It never really occurred to me though how important nature is and how much of an affect it can have on a person. When I was younger my family used to travel down to the Florida Keys every summer to go fishing and snorkeling. I would look forward to this trip every summer because the drive down to the Keys enabled us to see all of Florida and that was always my favorite part. As I got into my teens though and started playing more sports my summers soon became filled with traveling around the state playing sports rather than fishing and snorkeling down in the keys. I feel like during this time my love for the beautiful State of Florida and all that it had to offer was slowly diminishing.

There is an accident on the 405 so we take PCH. I look at the window, into the sea. I am looking for dolphins or whales, but I have never seen a whale from this road. Once, when we were driving to Summer Nationals, Dad offered me two-bucks if I saw a whale. We drive past La Conchita. La Conchita is a small town that was built at the bottom of a mountain. Last year a mud slide burried half-a-dozen houses. Eight people died, suffocated in mud and debris. You can still see the mountains of mud and the destruction. You can see five white crosses and one Jewish star. My mother says people are stupid for living in such a dangerous place. I tell her it is their home. They have a view of the mountains and view of the ocean. I tell her living in a dangerous

Around four-forty in the morning, a lady came to the Reedley hospital to give birth. That baby was coming on their way to the hospital but just on time to give birth, was in a room. The baby was very small and chubby but was truly strong and healthy. This particular baby was soon to be named after her father, Fernando. Fernanda had no problems whatsoever therefore her parents were grateful since there were many children in this world that suffer a great deal for their problems in health.

fun playing beach volleyball and surfing on our boogie boards. Sadly, there was a storm coming, but the good part was that we were getting homemade spaghetti for dinner. The following day we we are heading our way to see NASA. On the way there we saw a huge cruise ship, it was pretty cool. When we got to NASA, they recently changed things and now on no visitors are allowed inside the museum only people who are in the military now can go. That was a bummer, but we still got our pictures taken by the NASA sign. That night we just hung out ate dinner and played games. The few next days just hung out and enjoyed our time together.

Have you ever been to Florida? When I was seven my family went to Florida. Have you ever been able to take a friend on a vacation? I got to take my vacation with a friend. How cool was that?

When I was a Sophomore in High School my dad had been out of work for a couple and was forced to take a job in Odessa, TX , so he promptly moved to Texas to start his new job. My mother and I had to stay in California so I could finish high school and so she could take care of her parents. From then on, I was only really able to see my dad for a week every month or two and we were unable to keep the strong connection we had before. So as I started my college search I looked into colleges in Texas so I could live closer to him, and that is when I first came across Rice University.

Florida is the sunshine and alligator state. Which is awesome because Florida has a lot of sunshine and they have a lot of alligators there. Florida’s population is around 19.8 million because they have a lot of people all around the world. Florida is one of the best states in the world because of its awesome attractions such as Walt Disney World, SeaWorld Orlando, Universal Studios, Holy Land, and more. So, that is one reason why I think it’s one of the best places in the world to live. The attractions in Florida are the things that were somewhat memorable to me. Florida is a wonderful place to live because of all the attractions I enjoyed there, and because of all the wonderful memories I had there. Whenever you ever go to Florida you would definitely enjoy it since Walt Disney World is there.

I’ve lived in Montgomery, Alabama for as long as I can remember. I’ve never lived anywhere else, but I 'm glad that I have gotten to see more than just Montgomery. I feel like Montgomery is a very historic city because Rosa parks and Martin Luther King Jr. lived here. I always thought that this was a very cool place to live and learn about my surroundings. When I was little I lived in apartments called Highland Village, where I met my best friends. It was always a good time to go outside and play with my friends. It was a very friendly, safe and clean neighborhood. I remember playing outside, riding my bike until the streetlights came on. After a five years of staying in Highland Village, my my parents decided that we needed more space so we

There are many great things about my state, Alabama. Today, I will name my 3 favorite things I love about my home. My first favorite thing about the state of Alabama would be our coastal shores of Mobile. I love the warm sand against my feet as the breeze waves through my hair. I love the sound of children screaming and laughing as they play, the seagulls flapping and screeching, and the waves crashing against the shore. I love waking up early to the gorgeous sun rise, the golden rays reflecting off the water. I love the feel of my line in the water, the slight tug at my line as i get a bite. I love the fight of the fish as I struggle to reel it in. I love the feel of the scaly, slimy fish. Even if i lose the fish, I love that it is the one that got away and the thought that I may get it again.

Last summer in 2014 me and my whole family went to Corpus, it was my first time going and seeing the beach. We also visit the aquarium and visit the animals. The other thing we did was dolphin riding my biggest fear. Then finding a big turle hit by a boat and save its life

I'm exploring various areas for retirement, which presently includes Raleigh/Durham, and possibly Asheville, for visits up to six months of the year. Hopefully, I will be lucky to meet acquaintances who are similar in age who are willing to connect without the need for a rushed relationship. I would like to settle down but I am realistic and will admit that I am careful. I am hopeful for a mature commitment

Texas was a surprise from my grandma for my sister’s birthday. It was a 2 day trip so we spent 4 days there. Texas had tons of stuff to do, My favorite thing was getting to build a sand castle. We also got to go on a fairy which is a boat that takes a slow ride. We were able to see dolphin’s and feed seagulls that were very hungry. We also got to bring home some shells and I found a whole crab shell also a little sand………in my shoe. My trip to Texas was AWSOME I hope we can go again

During the summer, I had the privilege to go visit my brother who lives in South Carolina. This experience was a first for me in many ways, it was the first time I had traveled without my parents, it was the first time I had traveled with my boyfriend and it was also the first time I had visited North Carolina. I had previously visited South Carolina when I had gone to visit my brother when he got his first house but since my family and I only stayed there for a weekend we did not get to explore South Carolina as much as we would have liked.
