Personal Narrative: Seventeen Acres

Another weakness for Steven is the microwave meals, because he had to eat microwave meals all the time when his mom went to Pennsylvania for Jeffrey’s treatment. The only thing he ate was microwave meals, other than for breakfast because his father didn’t know how to cook. This led to Steven eating this for several months until the few days his mother and brother were home. Although Steven

For the past eight-years, once a year, my family drives 200 miles north form Blaine to Barnesville. We make that once a year journey to go to Barnesville Potato Days. During Potato Days we go to many fun-filled and enjoyable events. Some of these events include a potato sack fashion show, a strongman competition (where you lift bags of Potatos), as well as a bunch of bouncy houses. Although my favorit epart of driving up north is not Potato Days itself but experiencing whith my extended family (I see them only about six times a year).

The trip there was an adventure in itself but my step father lit up like a teenager receiving their first car. He explained to us that for a “gear head” that this was an amazing birthday gift. It was everything he want between the thrills and gorgeous car that were available for him to drive. On our way over to New Orleans, it was surely an adventure to get to the track. We decided take separate cars, my mother and step father in one and in the other was my cousin, sister and I.

We finally made it, the day has come when we arrived at Piermont New Hampshire. Our week long vacation in July has just begun! Even though it was a long two hour drive from Ludlow, it was worth the wait. The jeep wrangler, black in color had pulled up into the driveway. Its boxy structure covered with bug splatters on the windshield from the long ride up.

Grandpa never missed a school concert or a baseball game. We have a cabin in Birchwood, Wisconsin. They would drive up there for the day. They both loved to go on road trips. Grandpa was able to teach Vincent so many things in such a short about of time.

Last weekend I had to drive to savanna Illinois to a tiny city named Hanover. Me and my grandpa were driving there to pick up family to come over and spend time with us. It is a hour drive. The drive was not that bad, except for the drive back because the kids in the back were being really annoying, but they were really exited because they don’t get away from home much. On the way there we picked up donuts which were very delightful.

Garcia demonstrates dedication, effort and responsibility in his daily life. Due to the above said, he commented that if there was opportunity of having more free time, he would spend it surrounded by nature. Jorge likes to camp, swim in lakes and walk around the forests. However, due to economical issues it prevents him to go and spend his well deserved day off doing what he appreciate the most. This inspiring individual has been working in ASFM since the past 13 years, he arrives everyday in his small car as he described it, and takes him forty-five minutes.

Packing my bags’, knowing a sign that reads “Welcome to Branson” will soon be in front of my eyes, is one of my favorite traditions’. The Isch family only takes this trip every three years, so when I find out that we are going to take the trip, I always get enthusiastic. The consistent hum of tires racing across the road, and the warm sun shining through the windows is enough to generate eyelid’s fall. Before I know it, I am getting shook awake from my brother, either Daniel or Brandon, who is telling me, “We are almost there.” Eyelids’ pop open as we look out the window at the hills and valleys. A “Welcome to Branson” sign comes into view.

That was alright because there was tons of ponds and creeks for me to go fishing at. Fishing was something I did when I was board and didn’t have anything to do. At my school fishing was a popular thing that was talked about so I didn’t stand out when I talked about fishing. Fishing is something that I grew up with and it was what most of my family enjoyed doing. My grandpa made different types of baits, and would show me how to build them.

I blossomed at that unconventional school academically and emotionally. My days were a whirlwind jam-packed with homework and my full time job at The Home Depot. It was the only Home Depot the area and it stayed continuously full of activity. After 6 long month of pleading with people to give me a ride places I came to the realization that I desperately needed a car. A car of my own would make my life a lot less stressful.

There 's so much to love in this session with Madden Ford and his family. It 's hard for me, as a baby photographer, to wrap my brain around how many adorable moments filled the session. Along with Madden, who was 6 days new at the time of the session, there were brothers Brody and Greyson. Brody is 3 years old while Greyson is 20 months. Madden Ford was born on March 3rd at 12:20 p.m., and weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces.

It was very frustrating but one day a few weeks after my I had last practiced I decided to practice on my own by driving around the block while my dad was at work. I practiced starting and stopping more times than I could keep track of but I found myself to be improving much faster than I did when my dad was in the car. Later that day when he got home, I was excited to show him how much I had improved in just one day so we went for a drive around Alki beach. Although the engine still died once in a while, I now felt confident that I could drive pretty much on any types of roads with minimal troubles. Through this experience I realized that
