Personal Narrative: Thanksgiving Break

Ever since I could remember, my mother has always told me to forget about the time before us and the world outside of our village, it is forbidden to know more than what the Elite Leaders have told us. We are required to stay in our cabins from seven at night till eight in the morning, with only a little amount of food and a hard bed for the both of us. We must stay inside the barriers of the community or else the Elite Leaders will decide our cause of death. No one knows exactly who the Elite Leaders are, or how they came to be, but it is best not to know for our safety. “Elizabeth, wake up, you have to go to school today if you do not remember,” said my mother as she tugged on my arm.

It ended off like all other school days except that my friend Abbie and I got into a fight. I can’t believe that we got into a fight on the last day of school. It was five minutes till the bell and everyone had started packing up including the boy that leaves packing up to the last minute. I think everyone is so excited for Summer break. That night when I got home, my parents and I made some plans for the summer.

Thanksgiving Break I woke up inside my college dorm bathroom, the only light that was filtering was through the filmy windows high above the showers. I was also alone, tried opening the door, only to find out I was trapped. Then I realized that it’s the first morning of Thanksgiving Break, and since the dorms were cleared out and locked, I’m stuck for the next four days. I usually have my phone with me at all times but this time i didn't realize I had left it in my roommate's bed and I wished I knew how I ended up sleeping in the restroom.

I have been here for couple of years and a standout amongst the most exceptional and huge day for me has been Thanksgiving day. This day of the year when all the relatives from entire nation meet to cherish the day of Thanksgiving. For me Thanksgiving is special as it gives me a moment to unite with my cousins and other relative who are normally occupied during the time with their study and their work it is that time when we meet up to play a game of

It was a cold, dark, snowy, average Michigan morning. Wham! My bedroom door opened and my mom told me it was time to get up for school. I was hoping that we would have had a snow day with all of the snow that accumulated during the night, but we didn 't because Jenison never closes school for snow. It was such a struggle to even get out of bed!

A couple of years ago, my family went to Destin, Florida for spring break. We were there for a couple of days and were trying to find something to do. Kenny, my step-dad, thought it would be a good idea to go to this place called Baytowne Wharf (I recommend going there sometime). This place is amazing with many different shops and restaurants like candy stores and even toy stores. Also they have some rides and activities to do in the Baytowne Adventure Zone like a zipline and in my families case, a sky rope course.

Everyone succeeds more when they dedicate themselves the fullest. Abroad, hiking deep in the mountains requires coordination, overcoming extensive physical walls, and striking dangers. When our group tackled the French border, our hard work got the results we only had wished. As my foot crossed the line, my language trip to Spain was lifted off the ground. Trekking over peaks demanded having ample coordination.

From the 1st through the 15th of August of 2015 my family and I took a much needed vacation to the Hawaiian Islands. We went to both Oahu and Hawaii (which is often referred to as “The Big Island”). I remember I was really excited to go, who wouldn’t be? However, I was not excited to fly the better half of a day to make it to my awaiting tropical oasis.

“Now onto breaking news. Yesterday at 10:12pm a car ran into a street light on Redwood Lane. A male by the name of Matthew Bond has passed away from the incident. More investigation on how this accident was caused is unknown until further notice. Now onto the-”

A major regret in life, is not taking a Christmas vacation sooner with my family. Attending Disney World for the first time, brought our family closer, enabled us to conquer fears, and left us with memorable impressions. Our vacation consisted of 10 days, to explore roughly 40 square miles of property, spread out over four different parks. Each location conveyed a different emotion with every step. All the trees looked stuffed like a Hawaiian pig with adornments and fairy lights.

I remember that night as if it were crystal clear. The night in which an unfortunate realization took place, a reality check if you’d rather. It was the beginning of my freshman year of high school, I was at home along with the rest of my family. My older sister was doing homework and i was surfing through the channels, bored as usual. I recalled my mom being in the laundry room, so I proceeded to go in that direction in hopes of being entertained.
