Atwood Trained Wolf-Personal Narrative

My dad told me it’s ok to be scared, if you are having fun it’s okay. It did not make sense at first, but, tonight was then I learned he was right.

We were at Atwood, a place to spend a night with a school. It was the end of Summer and the beginning of Fall. I’m in this crooked bed well they call us out to the dining hall. Confused I asked my friend next to me

“Hey do you know what’s going on?”

He shrugged and looked forward. We were told to sit down on the hard cold ground. It was dark out I wondered If this was just a announcement or we had to do something. They then told us “Today we are going to do Alpha wolf.”I thought it was just a classroom assignment, but what caught my attention was “ We are going to find A professional Atwood Trained wolf.” I was so surprised! Scared I did not want to do it. We went outside with my group.

After we have finished with climbing the hill, we went to what it looked like a broken down small church, with a lot of dark green on it. Are group leader said we should howl. Then just like that… “Howwwwwlllllllllll!”

Then the wolf howled again, it was like a few yards away. My heart was 2,000mph at that moment. The leader told us to stay so quiet that a dog couldn’t hear us. She told us when we got to the wolf we had to whimper and act like a dog wanting a tummy rub. So when we got to the dark area I got down and whimpered like a dog at Christmas. I hear rustling through the bushes and I hear a voice that says “ The alpha wolf has accepted you.”

It was the guy who told us about alpha wolf! He told us this place is way too small to have a life. My heart rate slowed down as fast as a car goes to 100 mph to 0 mph just like that. It was fun while it lasted and I had a ton of fun. There were a lot of excitement and scary things, but in the end, everything was okay.

Well today was a good day and It’s okay to be scared if you are having fun, it’s
