We came over to my aunt and uncle’s house in Roanoke, Il. We got there and we thought it would be a normal family meeting time. I went in the house hugged everyone talked and caught up on what sports were doing how school is going. I told them that school was great and that I was playing shortstop for the travel league. My brother said that he was a catcher, the person who catches the ball from the pitcher, for the inhouse team. Then Reed and Owen said to stay later than everyone else. We thought that they might just want to do something with us. So we played wiffle ball, a game like baseball but the ball has holes, in the front for about and hour. Then we came inside ,because it was dark, and there was some baseball on so we watched that game. My uncle Dick is a huge (Yankees) (fan) and we make fun of him all the time, we’re (Red Sox) fans. …show more content…

Owen said the just finished the baseball season and that he was quitting baseball. He was a (catcher) for his high school somewhere in Tennessee. Owen had a big bag, and it was full of catchers (gear,) a helmet, chest protector, and knee guards. Owen’s catchers gear was very expensive and huge. Mason tried on Owen’s gear and it was way to big for Mason’s tiny legs. So they told me to try the gear on and it surprisingly fit. So they told Mason that this gear is JJ’s gear until you grow big enough for it. So I thought, what am I gonna do with this gear. So I asked my coach if I could try catching and he said sure why not. So I caught one game and did amazing and coach kept me

Now, that most of us in the extended family have graduated high school, some began to go get a higher education, and

  • Personal Narrative Essay Writing

    A couple of weeks ago, the class was assigned a personal narrative essay and the prompt was to tell an interesting story of a specific experience that changed how you acted, thought, or felt. To be honest, I was awfully excited to write this essay because talking about myself is the easiest thing to write about sometimes. However, deciding what experience to talk about was challenging because I have already experienced so much in my seventeen years of being alive from dislocating my hip when I was three, to seeing my grandfather die in front of my eyes, from almost tripping off of the trail on the Grand Canyon, to meeting band members at an airport. Writing this essay brought me many challenges, I did not know what topic to choose, I had no

  • Writing a Personal Narrative

    473 Words  | 1 Pages

    Personal narratives allow you to share your life with others and vicariously experience the things that happen around you. Your job as a writer is to put the reader in the midst of the action letting him or her live through an experience. Although a great deal of writing has a thesis, stories are different. A good story creates a dramatic effect, makes us laugh, gives us pleasurable fright, and/or gets us on the edge of our seats. A story has done its job if we can say, "Yes, that captures what living with my father feels like," or "Yes, that’s what being cut from the football team felt like."

    My family had many memorable holiday and birthday celebrations that are still valued by me as I age and move up in life. Before my parents decided to divorce we used to cook all day and night on Christmas Eve and when we finally decided to sleep, or my parents decided, we would wake up at 4:30 in the morning to open presents. I believe that custom is still with me to this day because I still wake up at 4:30 in the morning on Christmas Day. I think that customs depend on the emotional connection. My family would sit around the living room and laugh, talk, and reminisce about different times in their lives. We used to have a big celebration for birthdays and would invite everyone. It was always a personal affair that we would cook for and dance and just have a great time with family and close friends. It was a beautiful thing and it was extremely enjoyable. I cherish those moments with my family and I plan to have those customs and also to add my own customs into my own family one day in the

    It was my first week of my freshman year in college. Normally, you want to survive the first week by going to school events and meeting new people. Being the first Saturday night of the school year my new friend and I decided to go to a party in another dorm on campus. Both of us didn’t know what to expect at a college party, so we dressed up and tried to look our best. As I put my black mascara on I knew that this would be a fun night. My friend Jessica knew one of the guys that would be at this gathering because he lived in the same town that she was from. Finally, we leave our dorms and head out to our first college party. We arrived at the party and started to play cards. As the night progressed, poker was getting a little boring and staying in that dorm room wasn’t too much fun either. Abruptly, one of the guys said we should go to a freshman dorm. Everyone grabbed their belongings and headed to central campus. As we walked to central campus many of the boys were whispering about how they were going to cause a ruckus. No one was a resident of this hall, so we had to ask someone who was outside to let us in.

  • Essay About Family Reunion

    1330 Words  | 3 Pages

    "The great gift of family life is to be intimately acquainted with people you might never even introduce yourself to, had life not done it for you." -Kendall Hailey. Many people among us think that a family reunion is boring. It is an unpleasant social affair where our parents drive us to go and stay there for a considerable length of time. There are odd individuals who come to us and kiss or embrace us while we are still considering "do I know him/her?”. It is because we believe that enjoying the holiday out with friends is much better than investing hours with the people, we “unfortunately” belong to. They have no other subject for discussion aside from our studies and grades. On the other hand, family gathering is always a new experience for someone who lives far away from his blood relations.
