I was ending my call with Emily, as we were arriving at the airport. Emily and Noah were about to board their plane in Seattle. I grabbed my backpack and suitcase “Annie, I hope you are ready to go and have put your things in the car,” yelled mom from downstairs. I was going to my visit my grandparents in Santa Monica, by myself.
“Yep, I’m ready,” I yelled back. I am so excited to be flying by myself, now that I am 13. I am meeting my two cousins Emily and Noah at the airport in Los Angeles. They’re both 13 too. I looked at my room one last time and grabbed my phone, still lying on my bed. I rushed down the stairs and out the garage door to find my mom's silver Honda already running in the driveway. I put my things in the trunk and quickly

My mom walked to security with me to make sure I was okay and to say our goodbyes. I was about to leave security when I heard an announcement about my flight to L.A.
“Flight number 3606 is delayed to Los Angeles, California. Passengers will have to wait until we announce something relating to this flight. There are harsh winds in the Los Angeles area, so we will not let the plane fly, thank you!”
I began to worry, I had never been anywhere with lots of people, without my parents. I walked quickly to my gate, where I found other people who were also going to L.A., very unhappy. I took an empty seat in the corner so I could call home.
“Hi Mom, my flight got delayed. I don’t know how long I will be

Once I got back, I ate my cake pop, drank my iced coffee and read the magazine talking about the show I like. When I had finished reading my magazine, I called my grandparents to tell them that my flight was delayed and it would be a while until I would land. They said that Emily and Noah’s flight has not landed yet so I shouldn’t be worried about being late.
An hour later, the flight attendant came on the loudspeaker to make an announcement.
“Flight number 3606, flying to Los Angeles will start boarding in 3 minutes. I repeat, flight number 3606, flying to Los Angeles, California will start boarding in 3 minutes, thank you!” I had a sigh of relief, I wanted to get to Los Angeles as soon as possible. Before they started to board, I took out my phone to call my grandparents.
“Hi Nana, my flight is about to board.” I said, looking at the people who were starting to line up to board the plane.
“Okay Annie, see you then,” she said. I grabbed my suitcase, backpack and plane ticket rushing to get a good spot in line.
“Hello miss, how are you?” the flight attendant said as she was scanning my ticket when it was finally my
I was surprised, embarrassed and dismayed all at once. Her flight made me feel like an accomplice in tyranny. It also made it clear that I was indistinguishable from the muggers who occasionally seeped into the area from the surrounding ghetto. (Staples 240 - 241)
Walking into a building that was as tiny as a bug, my stomach started to feel uneasy. As I looked around at the security guards watching every move I made, I knew this would be the hardest goodbye. The uncomfortable chairs, silent tv, and unbearable smell of coffee were NOT helping either. As we approached my brother, he softly said to us, “I’ve been here since 5:30 and they said my flight won’t leave until 2:30, but I get TSA Precheck because I’m in the military.”
Overall, a stressful plane ride is never the way to start a nice relaxing vacation. I sometimes feel bad for my actions, but, I was only a baby and that was years ago. Plus, I don’t even think that this story was the most embarrassing thing that happened to me in Yellowstone. I’m not even going to tell you what happened on the plane ride back. In conclusion, if you are ever surrounded by an annoying baby just remember that you were a crying baby once. Also, it is important to feel thankful that you do not have a huge, rainbow, wet Lolly pop in your
It was breaking news and the weather reporter announced that a tornado would hit Shelby County in half an hour. I told my parents right away what the weather reporter had mentioned. My parents and I were panicking and we didn't know what to do. So we quickly gathered all of our clothes and our electronics like the television, game systems, and phones. We loaded our things in the car.
“We’re up next i'm so excited!” I yelled. After that we got our tickets and went through the whole procedure of checking our ticket, going through security, and finally we got inside the
We’re dropping and picking up whatever, putting things back, and asking what should we bring. The rush of it all. We weren’t expecting to be going anywhere, but we were up for it because we enjoyed road trips. As we were loading the van, getting buckled in safely, I asked mother out of curiosity, “Mommy, where are we going?” “To visit your grandmother in New Jersey.”
It was summer, the hottest season of the year when I moved to the US. The bird's eye view of the United States, DC from the plane was remarkable. I had many flights in my life, but I have never seen like this before. I was so excited to see my dad who moved to the US two years ago to find a better life for my brother and I and a better job for himself and my mom. The flight attendant said that we were landing and told to fasten our seatbelts.
Great the rain is stopping. Should be smooth sailing now. We get to Penny’s house it’s not raining but puddles everywhere. We Penny in the car, bags stowed in the back. Off to the airport. We arrive at the airport. Getting everyone and everything out. Penny forgot her bag in the excitement of leaving and dodging the rain. This is not the first she has forgotten something before we leave on a vacation. So she asked “Can you take me back to my house I forgot my bag?” “Sure” the voice says. Mom and I are left at the airport to check bags. No Way! We forgot to change our
My heart was pounding as I boarded my flight leaving the Bangkok International Airport. A flight attendant in a grey dress with a red bow draped over her shoulder announced; “Welcome aboard flight AA350 to the United States.” My journey began that day.
The stewardess then directed me towards the back, away from the cockpit. I looked at my ticket and at what seat I'd be sitting in. I had to duck in and around people putting their luggage into the upper compartments and look for my number on the back of my seat that matched my ticket stamp. As I walked past one of the windows, I glanced out and saw the right wing. It somehow gave me reassurance that I'd be fine and I'd soon be having the time of my life. "I'll soon be in the air."
