Personal Narrative: My Field Trip To Yosemite
In the fourth grade at Peterson elementary there was a field trip to Yosemite, and while I was getting the paper so my mother could sign it.
“Hey mom,” I said. “I need you to sign this for me,”
“Sure, what is it for,” she replied
“It is for a field trip to Yosemite,” I said.
“Well lucky you,” she said.
After she signed it I immediately began planning out the trip and figured out what I would bring. I couldn’t stop thinking how much cool things I would see. My backpack was packed with nuts, water bottles, a jacket, a film camera, headphones, and my phone, but I still felt under packed for some reason. The trip there took and back four hours, we would ride the buses for two hours there, then stay for four hours then ride the buses back to

After that we took park buses(green buses that take you to certain destinations inside the park) to the gift shop where everybody would meet up to get on the busses and ride back to school. At the gift shop I bought two rocks cut in half filled with crystals. While we were waiting for the buses to arrive, we all waited on benches in front of the gift shop and a squirrel grabbed my bag of nuts and began to scarf them down. Right after the squirrel grabbed the bag, a park ranger shows up and tells about feeding the animals. Right before we got on the buses I had realized that I had lost the film camera that my parents gave me and I used for most of the pictures on. So, I began to backtrace and try to find it before we left. We looked all around the meeting area and in the gift shop but, no camera. Then, on the bus ride home I had realized that it must have fallen out of my pocket when we rode the park buses. My pockets were full and the camera was close to the top so it must have fallen out. Since I forgot to take most photos with my phone, I didn’t have much pictures to show my parents so, I wasn’t very happy about that. Then, a few months later I “drowned” my phone, so I had lost all photos I took of

    Today I left for Yosemite with my friends and our parents. It took us about 5 hours to get to get there. We took about 10 stops on the way. When we arrived I popped open the trailer and too a nice long nap because we got up at 3 am and left at 4 am. After my nap I met up with a couple of friends who were also staying in the campsites next to us who were also taking naps . We went hiking to Yosemite Falls with a guide to watch the water flow down. It was beautiful and there was a sunset which made it even prettier. Our guide who led us there told us we should make a list to follow every day we were staying. We asked what were the greatest thing to see. He said Half Dome, Ansel Adams Gallery Tuolumne Meadows, Mist Trail and Vernal Fall,Glacier…

    People are so busy nowadays that it is difficult to keep track of all the moments that make life worthwhile. In an article entitled “Why I Take So Many Pictures” by Leslie Blanche, the author supports this theory saying, “My brain is too full of to-do lists and work tasks to hold all the precious moments with my family. And so, I refuse to put my camera down.” In addition to all the clutter a person’s brain has to hold on a daily basis, memory fades as people age and their minds can become unreliable. Therefore, it is reasonable to want to capture every moment, even the seemingly ordinary ones, on camera. For instance, many people document enjoyable times with friends; they are aware that in the future, it will be difficult to remember the jokes they laughed at, the parties they went to, or the places they went together. These are moments that are significant to people and bring joy, so naturally they would want to capture these special times and remember…

    I live in DeMotte with my Mom and Step-Dad. My real father lives in Ohio. I only get to see my actual dad three times a year. I see him in fall, spring, and summer. Obviously, I saw him this summer, and this time I was staying with him for a week. This was the first time I stayed this long at his house before. Although he lives in Ohio, and is only two hours away from Sandusky, he’d never experienced Cedar Point either. We didn’t explore the roller-coaster portion of Cedar Point, we went to the smaller segment called Cedar Pointe Shores. That’s just the highlight of the trip, though.…

    Isolated. How else was I supposed to feel? Lost maybe? How was I supposed to cope with a decision I knew I wasn’t a part of. The sound of the rolling tires against the highway asphalt fused with the sound of the humming from the car engine. I had just spent a week in Yosemite as part of an 8th grade trip and had come back to realize that my parents had bought a brand new house. It was all excitement and happy smiles until my dad told me the location of this new house... “Fremont.” The words rebounded off the walls inside my brain as the echoes became more distant, my heart moved into my mouth as anger swelled from my stomach and bubbled to my throat. Cupertino was all I knew. I labeled it as my home city, even though I wasn’t born there. What…

    I am a very forgetful person. I can lose things within minutes and have absolutely no idea as to where it is. Consequently, being that person can be very tough because no one really trust you with their belongings, you lose everything and it becomes very frustrating, etc. So it is very of the norm for me to causally misplace my phone. One day while leaving the mall after a day of handing out with friends I realized I misplaced my phone. I didn’t really give it much thought because this is a normal habit for me. However, it wasn’t until I got home that I realized, “I really don’t have my phone.” I went straight into panic mode because I realized that it could be anywhere, with anyone. After about forty-five minutes of crying and searching,…
