Personal Narrative: My Life Of A Fish
Drip,drip,drip,drip
The sound of the rain lightly hitting the water,
The sun ducking behind the clouds, as if it were hiding from something.
My clothes weighing down, drenched with water.
Fishing pole in my hand standing at the end of my friends dock.
As I was walking my topwater lure back to me,
Suddenly a bass blew up on it right infront of me.
It scared me a little making me jump as I reeled the fish in.
I was as excited as excited as someone stranded at sea finding civilization
For I had not caught a fish yet all day.
Joy bouncing around in me, I went to unhook the fish,
As I was unhooking the first hook the fish shook,
And that is when everything went bad.
The hook I was trying to unhook flew right into my thumb,
The pain was so bad it seemed as though I had just been shot.

I fell over onto my knees reaching for my scissors,
Trying to cut the line connecting to my lure,
As quick as I could without causing to much pain.
Then I reached for my phone fumbling with it in my hand and calling my mom.
Once my mom showed up she came down to help me,
As I was walking to the car my vision became blurry,
And everything I heard sounded weird.
I knew I was on the brink of blacking out,
The world around me fading in,out,in,out
The darkness was being called to me, but for some reason it never came.
And soon enough I was at the hospital with all sorts of feelings
Pain, anger at myself for not being careful when taking the hooks out,
But most of all I was anxious,
To finally get this hook out of my

My mom took me to “The Downtown Aquarium” in Denver, CO. As soon as we walked through the doors, I was completely mesmerized. I enjoyed seeing all of the marine life. Ever since then I have always wanted to learn more about them.…

    It all started out at the reefs of the cold winter season in the Pacific Ocean. Against all odds there was Iro the jellyfish leader realized upon his jellyfish species that they were running out of food on their land.

    As I stood on the board, I imagined myself soaring through the air, picturing every move I made until sliding into the water as perfectly as possible. I competed as a Springboard Diver for six years. Diving helped me discover and further explore the nature behind what motivates me and keeps me mental strong and capable, which is now an immense aspect of who I am. Although I am no longer a Springboard Diver, it still influences aspects of my everyday life. Diving is unique in how it is more mentally taxing than it is physically.…

    Over the course of my long life (or lives depending on how you look at it) I have been known by many names. And not all of them translate exactly. My latest and last one is Gracen. I do not know how old I am, nor do I really care. All that matters is that I get two square meals a day and a warm bed at night. An occasional pet behind the ears is nice too. It’s times like this, late at night in my bed, when I reminisce back to where it all began.…

    I have a deep interest in the ocean and marine life, which was fostered when my family and I moved to the Pacific Coast. This interest grew further after I went on a backstage tour to the aquarium at the Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. Due to this continuous exposure to the ocean and the creatures that live there, I am focusing my education around my interest in marine life. It's for this reason that I’m majoring in Marine Biology with a minor in Chemistry. With this education, my goal is to become an Aquarist, and build my way up to becoming an ocean or aquarium diver. As a diver, I want to have the opportunity to study coral reefs, and create and implement conservation plans. In addition, I want to study sea turtles and ways to conserve their declining…

    Nearing the end of the tube I can almost see the shore, It feels as if I've been riding this wave for days. This wave is my hurdle in the ocean that is life, choppy at the beginning but slowly passing by. The ocean has many waves, one for each surfer to ride, my specialty wave happened to be dyslexia. It was in the second grade that my teacher first realized I was different from the other students, because I had yet to read my first book. My parents had found this odd as well, and took me to see a neurologist, who diagnosed me as having dyslexia. I did not quite know what this meant at the time, I only knew that it was the reason I could not comprehend the topics as easily as my classmates.…

    Personal background starts off small, it changes and grows over time into something big, it grows into an identity. Walking down the hallway at school, seeing someone standing alone, my first instinct is to make conversation, compliment, or even just smile at him or her. This instinct came from someone once telling me an act so small could turn a person's entire life around. As a kid, reading encyclopedias about random topics, consumed my time. Many days were spent coming home to find an injured wild animal in my dad's arms waiting to be saved. My dad would sit outside and draw animals, trees, and anything else he saw. Nothing excited me more than trying to draw whatever my dad drew, and as good as he did. Any assignment that was handed to…
