Personal Narrative-Thanksgiving Break In Middle School

“Thanksgiving Break” a term every middle school student remembers. A time to spend with your family, eat food and the best part, not being in school. It was a beautiful autumn day and the ground glowed with the crisp fall leaves. The leaves seemed to dance around as the cool mid- autumn air blew through them. It was the day before thanksgiving and us grandkids were at grandma's house for a fun family day.

The most heartbreaking moment was the fact that my cousin, and closest friend at the moment couldn't look at me without crying.
