As soon as we got to the ski resort everyone in our group got filled with enthusiasm, and especially when we walked past the main building opening up to a huge hill with a big grey ski lift lifting people from the ground to the top of the hill where you could go down the hill in little carts surrounded by plastic half pipe tubes ending in a whirl of excitement. Since there was only two to a seat on the ski lift me and, the oldest of the other families kids, jake went together. The trip up the hill was not as i expected because jake soon couldnt himself and started to shake the entire ski life wire which also shook the people in front of us and behind us.

The first run wasn 't very rough since it was everyone didn 't know everything that they could do. By the second trip down the hill everyone started going as fast as possible for a more fun experience, but when the people in front of us began to stop on their brakes and go as slow as possible things started to get out of hand.

    During my final year of Cross Country around Regionals at Oglethorpe, I ran my final race for my high school career. Banks County was nearly number one in the State, the furthest we had ever ranked in history, and spirit and hopes for State Championship were high. I was nervous, like nobody’s business, I had messed up during my senior night because I was upset for my parents for not showing up and escorting me. And I was scared that I was going to do horribly. But as I ran, I realized that if I let my past mistakes and failures hold me back or get in my way, so I ran, harder and better than I ever had before and apparently even beat a “skinny kid”.

  • Personal Narrative: My Home State, Texas

    219 Words  | 1 Pages

    My home state is Texas, and a problem Texas faces is an overall mindset of systemic racism, sexism, and xenophobia. Texas is a very conservative state, thus many of the policies passed by our legislation are written at the expense of women and minorities. Although I might sound highly critical of our state government, I do not believe that these negative mindsets are deliberate attempts to put others down, I feel that it is simply an ignorance to the issues women and minorities face, and a lack of empathy. Ignorance is easily countered by thorough education. The easiest way to solve this is for us constituents of these politicians, to bring the issues that affect us to the forefront.
