Chapter Three: Jacob

I looked at my parents as they went over the form with me before we left for the airport. “It says you will be visiting the Globe Theatre just outside of London,” my father said. “I went there and saw a play when I studied at Oxford.” “Are you excited?” My mom asked. I looked at her, a pang of fear in my heart. “I’m more nervous that I’m going to get lost in the streets of London. But I am going to a foreign country, so I’m pretty excited.” I secretly thought that this trip would be better with any other teacher, but Spinks had to go. I put my luggage in the back of our truck, and my dad started driving. I thought of all the things that we would do, besides go to the Globe Theatre. We were supposed to watch several plays there. Romeo and Juliet was one, then Hamlet, and were were supposed to finish up with Much Ado About Nothing. I was excited at the prospect of seeing these plays, but also scared. …show more content…

The school just gave all this trip money to Mr. Spinks. Instead of new books, or more chromebooks, or better food. It was pretty shifty. As I looked out across O’Hare Airport in Chicago, the reality hit me. I was going across an ocean from my parents. I felt sad, and even more nervous than before. I hugged my dad, and then went through security. It took several minutes, but everything I had turned out not to be a

  • Things I Carried-Personal Narrative

    1676 Words  | 4 Pages

    I was carrying my whole life with me, as I walked towards the aircraft. I was carrying two suitcases, filled mainly with clothes and books. I know they were less than 20 kilograms because that was the permissible weight. I could not feel their weight as they were on the trolley. I had a backpack on my shoulders. It contained some eatables, some clothes, a novel, some magazines, a portable CD player, some CDS, a deck of cards, and an inflatable pillow. I was well prepared for my long flight. In my hand I carried as brown leather case containing my passport, visa, and all other personal documents and papers. If I were to lose that case, technically I would cease to exist. Other than that, I had a tennis racket slung over my left shoulder. In short, I was carrying almost all my belongings with me. But that was not all I was taking with me. I was carrying with me memories of 18 years. Things and incidents, long forgotten, resurfaced in my mind, with incredible detail. Every face around me reminded me of uncountable incidents. I was carrying with me a sense of tremendous loss. But, at the same time, I was also carrying with me hope and excitement. A new world called me, and I was looking forward to go there. To protect me in this new place, I had a holy red thread tied on my wrist. That was the explanation my Mom had given me when she was tying it. Though I did not necessarily agree with her, looking at the thread did bring a warm feeling in my heart. It symbolized the love and blessings of my parents which I carried with me, wherever I went.

  • Rough Draft Of A Hospital Narrative Essay

    1827 Words  | 4 Pages

    I had been in hospital rooms many times before, but this was the first time that I was the patient anxiously awaiting their results. I sat on the hospital bed and nervously kicked my legs back and forth as I stared at the door, willing the doctor to walk through it. After a long wait I grew tired of this, and shifted focus to my surroundings. I had been admitted to Scottish Rite hospital, a branch of the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Being a children’s hospital meant that the nurses wore cartoon print scrubs, the walls were painted in bright colors, the televisions were always turned to either Disney Channel or Nickelodeon, and everyone treated you like royalty. They did everything they could to mask the fact that it was indeed a hospital. However, I was too old to be fooled. I knew exactly where I was and what that meant, and that was that nothing good could come from being here.

  • Trip to New York City

    1022 Words  | 3 Pages

    As our plane landed at LaGuardia airport in New York City and we walked out into the terminal through the long dark and narrow jet way, the first glances made all of us aware we were not at home. I was on a school trip along with 29 other classmates and six chaperones, 36 people who were used to the calmness of the peaceful town in St. Michael, MN. The facility was outrageously filthy with trash barrels completely overflowing and the floor looked as if it had not been mopped for weeks. The endless amount of loud people scattered everywhere throughout the airport made it difficult to walk without running into the person in front or beside you.

    In the summer of 2004 my dream of visiting New York came to life. I could hardly contain my excitement to finally live the life of a New Yorker, even if it would only be for a couple of days. The plane ride itself was torture, because of my bubbling anticipation to get to my destination. Once the captain announced the descent into the New York airport my stomach became a bundle of knots. The arrival into the city was everything I had hoped it would be. My husband and I, of course, had trouble finding our way around JFK airport. We couldn't figure out the place that we were supposed to go to get our baggage. My husband and I and everyone from our plane ended up going outside of the airport to gain access to another part of the airport. Eventually things got cleared up and we found our terminal where our luggage was supposed to be. Finally after about a half an hour of being in the airport we figured out how to maneuver ourselves through the airport. As if we had passed our first test we...
