Personal Narrative: My Trip To Catalina Island
It was 4:00 A.M. The school was going to Catalina Island for a 4-day trip. I woke up and went to school. Everything was packed, however I had to eat some Airborne®. I ate it and arrived to school. I said goodbye to my parents and they left. “Now, where is my group?” I told myself. “Oh never mind, there they are!” “Nathan!” said my best friend Stanley. “You ready for the trip?” “You know I am,” I replied. We found our group, which contained 16 people, including me. Stanley was my tent partner. It was Anson, Andrew, me, Stanley, Scott, Thurman, Kevin, Andy, Leander, Charles, William, Kaden, Brandon, Nelson, Jacky, and Jordan. We went into the school bus and went to a port. When we got there, we were assigned groups numbers. A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L. A-F was one …show more content…

“Why do we get this trash and not that?” “Calm Leander,” said Scott. “It’s probably not that bad.” “No,” said Leander. “This ain’t fair!” “It’s not our fault bro,” said Jacky. “Well, since I have nobody to blame, it’ll be you guys!” said Leander. We were excited of going to Catalina island. We sat on large containers and watched the waves past by. There was a downstairs deck, which sold junk food for a limited amount of time. They later hid the food because nobody was buying it. Then, Scott and I went to the other side of the downstairs deck to play a card game, “Mafia.” For people like me, it was pretty scary. We played for about 30 minutes, and I went back up deck. I looked around and it seemed as if everyone was dying, they were vomiting. That’s when they told me that group A-F’s boat already passed us. Two and a half hours later, we were feet away from Catalina. I was resting and everytime I close my eyes, my head would fall down and almost fall out of the boat. “Dude!” said Aleksy. “You’re going to break your neck like that, and most importantly, fall down.” “Thanks,” I told him. “Lift me up if I fall down.” “Hey dude!” screamed Aleksy. “We’re

    I never realized how lucky I was to be granted such a stupendous life until I saw the poverty some people live in. Over the summer, I was fortunate enough to be able to take an ephemeral trip to Nassau, Bahamas. It was much different than I imagined it would be. I remember walking around and almost being frighten to leave my parents sides. There were natives on every street corner trying to con their way into you spending money on their fake product; there were people going through the trash looking for food; there were people sitting on the street with all their belongings tied up to their bicycle street. You could just tell this country was nowhere near as advanced as the United States. It was nothing like the pictures and it got me thinking of the gloomy lives these children will have to grow up in and all the opportunities that they don't have available here.…

    After just four minutes my ship had over 100 men in the water, dead, or wounded. There were ships exploding off in the distance and there was fire everywhere. People were running around and some were jumping into the water. It was complete chaos on the ARIZONA. I had somehow managed to take down two planes, damage five, and kill one pilot. While I was aiming at a plane a bomb hit the first deck of our ship sending me and countless others overboard. I hit the water pretty hard and sunk several feet. I was swimming up to the surface when I heard a noise and saw fire everywhere. When I reached the top of the water I found the USS ARIZONA torn in half. I looked around to find the water filled with swimming sailors and dead bodies.…

    I boarded the boat thinking it wouldn’t be that bad. I was wrong. I stayed in the steerage for months. The steerage is the below deck part of the boat where the steering mechanisms are. It was disgusting, dark and cramped. Although we were under such conditions, I still managed to make a few friends. The sad part is I watched many of them get sick and eventually die. This one boy in particular fell seriously ill practically over night. He seemed to be in excruciating pain. I was lucky I didn’t come down with the same sickness.…

    First, we went to the office to sign all the waivers, which made me really nervous for my life. Since we had a long wait, we sat down with the other people who were in our group.

We had to walk across the street and down a long walkway to get to the dock. As we were boarding the boat I almost slipped and fell into the water.…
