Personal Narrative Essay: The Journey Of A Lifetime

1247 Words5 Pages

The Journey Of a Lifetime It is not everyday that you travel across the ocean to a foreign country and meet your grandpa for the first time. That is why this moment means a lot to me. My parents, brother, and I are flying across the ocean to a country called Slovakia where my dad is originally from. I have been traveling to Slovakia every other year since before I was born. We have a house that my dad built 15 years ago after his mom passed away and we stay in it every year. It is in a little village called Dobrohost.

I looked out of the window right next to my seat and saw a totally different terrain than I was used to. There were mountains and rivers and I couldn’t contain my excitement. I chatter and chatter to my mom about what our plans are and how excited I was. We finally land somehow smoothly on the bumpy airstrip. Our captain announced that we had arrived. We are here! We are dismissed so we sleepily grab our carry-ons and walk off the plane into the bright bustling airport. We get our luggage and then meet my dads friend outside. The atmosphere is totally different in a different country with a different language and new people. It is such a great experience. I slept the whole ride home, missing out on the scenery. We got to the house and unloaded the car. We say our thank yous and goodbyes and head inside. I get settled in and take a look around the house. It looks the same as I remember it and I start to have flashbacks of what fun I had in this very house. The next few days went quickly, I would have rather them go by slow, but I was having a lot of fun. We enjoyed the past few days but visiting my grandpa would surely be my favorite

    We stayed there until the spring of fifth grade. Know I live in my still incomplete house on Glen Dr. Looking back to my childhood (well I still am a child), some good memories are with my mother in the spring sitting on our porch drinking coffee. Yes, I have drank coffee since I could sing, because my mom made us sing for a sip of coffee.
