Personal Narrative: My Trampoline
“Can we please go to Sam’s house?” my sister and I asked in unison.
“ Fine, but you can only be there until 8pm, no more than that ”. My Mom instructed
“ YAY!” we screamed on the top of our lungs.
We ran upstairs at top speed to get changed to go to our next door neighbor, Sam’s, house. The reason why we wanted to go so bad to her house because, she had a trampoline, a basketball hoop that had two times the span of ours, and she had a deeper, bigger pool. Obviously we were jealous since we moved in and we wanted to go to her backyard ever since. It was exactly 7:00 pm on the 10th of November, 2016, a saturday. When we entered her backyard and I headed straight for the trampoline before even saying hello.
“Aren’t you even going to say hi”?

We started with a game she made up, which was called “avoid the balls” which she came up within a second. The game rules are obviously avoid all of the basket, volley, and soccer balls and if the balls touch you three times, you're out! We managed to play this game for 30 minutes, but we were having so much fun that we forgot to keep track of the score. After that, we were extremely exhausted and we took a water break for 5 minutes.Then we switched to playing basketball. My sister is really good at basketball, so we basically had no chance of beating her so me and we decided to make it me and her against my sister.
“But that’s NOO fair” she complained
“ Think about it, you are really good at basketball, so if me and Sam join forces, it will be equal”. I protested
UGH, fine , but NO CHEATING” she implied.
Even though she said no cheating, Sam cheated without a doubt sometimes cheated, but my sister and I didn’t care because it was just a game. After about 20 minutes, we stopped playing a Emily still ended up winning.
“ I won, your garbage” she repeatedly taunted
“ please , just please STOP IT IS annoying” I pleaded
After we finished playing basketball, we sat on Sam porch, talked, listened to music, and ate ice cream. Next door we heard a yell“ Emily , Brian it is time to leave”. So we opened the gate ,walked over the unbalanced sidewalk to our door and ran the doorbell. Our

    The Fury, the fastest, longest, and tallest rollercoaster on the East Coast. With a top speed of 95 mph and a height of 325 feet makes it the biggest rollercoaster I had ever gotten on, beating the Intimidator 305 by 25 feet. I remember seeing on television and wanting to ride it really badly. It just looked so amazing and since I love rollercoasters and love riding rollercoasters, I knew it was something I had to do. I had ridden lots of rollercoasters before this one such as the Intimidator 305 and the Top Thrill Dragster, which I had enjoyed riding very much, and I figured that the Fury would be just as good. So I asked my parents of we could go to the Carrowinds to ride the Fury. They said yes and we went with my aunt to the Carrowinds.…

    Trepidation filled my head. Despite the negative 10 degree weather, sweat pooled in my gloves and rolled down my face. Thoughts raced through my mind; a wrong execution could mean death. 11 years of ski lessons had cultivated to this one moment. My life was on the line, yet a wave of excitement shook me. I took a look down at the jump that had come to dominate Joe’s backyard, replacing his childhood swing set. The jump was sizable, but not gargantuan. From previous hits I noticed its “poppy” lip - skier talk for a jump that sends you up rather than out - which is ideal for the trick I was about to attempt: a backflip.…

    I grip my lacrosse stick with my hands shaking and sweat rolling down my face. My eyes are locked on my girl’s belly button, nothing else. She stood six feet tall with frizzy blonde hair, and was pure muscle. Everytime she made a jolt I would jump and be with her the whole time, not a step behind. All I knew about my girl was based off my observations and the fact that she is Agnes Irwin’s best player and a senior committed to a very high level division one program, UVA. I, An eighth grader not even thinking about college, knew I wasn’t close to her level. Colleen, my coach, came up to me the day before the game to notify me I would be faceguarding Agnes Iwin’s best girl. Face guarding is extremely difficult and nerve wracking. If you lose your girl for a second she’s going to get the ball and score, and you really have no one to blame but yourself. I’m not the best player on my team and I’m not the best…

    Climbing into the lime green car, my fear was over taking me. I was getting ready to ride the Titan, an adrenaline pumping roller coaster ride at Six Flags. It was easily the scariest ride at the park, in my opinion, with its enormous peaks, its deep descents, and double helix like turns was enough to make me sick. The ride began. Ascending up in the car on the canary yellow track, into the humidity filled, bright sky, the people observing from below resembled little army ants . The aerial view of Dallas was breathtaking, as I reached the peak of the ride and looked around. Passengers occupying the cars in front of me started falling off, like a cliff. I let out a high-pitched shrill, as we plummeted toward the Earth below. Traveling…

    The first game of the intramural season had hype behind it because part of the lacrosse team was playing another team full of lacrosse players. We started our warm ups more organized then I thought, when we did lay up lines and practiced pull up jump shots. One thing you should know about me and basketball is I take it extremely seriously. In fact in all sports I’m an intense competitor. The game started off pretty slow, because both teams weren’t shooting very well. We were down 5 to 2 when I hit a 3 pointer to tie the game 5 to 5. The game was intense, due to my lacrosse teammate Kyle Coats had his shooting sleeve on and was laying the ball up like it was no ones business. My team responded to every punch though and with the time running out in the…

    Augustus Waters from The Fault in Our Stars once spoke, "I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up my friend." At one point in my life, I found this quote to be totally insignificant. Now that I look back on my teenage years, I see it. The rollercoaster only went up from the point I opened my big, fat, attitude infested, mouth to my step-mother, Verona. The take off was bumpy, as well the entire rest of the journey up. Though it did eventually come down, not only going up. I came down an entirely different person and didn't have to think of life as a fictional roller coaster to stay happy.…

    The most memorable thing that happened to me was when I first discovered what I’m really good at. I came across inspiring Youtube videos of old classic Roller Derby and recent ones that were published only a year ago, I knew from the moment I laid eyes on those quads that I had to try it. In less than two weeks I was a complete natural at skating, I was all about skates. I practiced all the derby stances, exercises, techniques you name it I am absolutely in love with this sport. but as much as I fantasized about doing it I never thought that I’d actually get the chance to be part of their world and have training by the Derby Dames Juniors Freshmeat Association crew, which are ranked the top thirty-one in the united states!…

    I have been running since I started Modified Track and Field in the seventh grade. Running has been a part of my life ever since then. When I decided to join track I felt as though it was the worst mistake that I could have ever made, simply because i did not like running as a child. After trying it for the first year and not giving up I enjoyed it very much and that is when I stated that I would continue to run track till I graduated high school. Then came ninth grade and not only did I continue to do Outdoor Track but I also joined Indoor Track and it helped me improve with my running for Outdoor Track. I participated in Soccer from sixth grade till ninth grade, because come tenth grade I realized I had a strong passion for running,…
