Personal Narrative: St. Lucia
It was a hot summer day. As I went to the back of my grandparent’s house with Alexis, my little sister, to see and play on the beach, in St. Lucia.
It all began as I stepped off the porch of our beach house, I was reached by a beautiful and amazing sight, from which my eyes longed to see.
I felt the sand squish slowly through my toes as I gaily walk down the shoreline of the outer banks. There was a unique shade of green on the land. It was soft but yet silky as I bent to touch it. It smelt herbaceous. The sun stood up confidently and proudly shined its yellow lights unto earth. The sun’s radiant face was mirrored by the shimmering clear blue waves of the sea. Each wave had its own meaning as it washed unto the shores.
There were macaws,

    It was on this hot, cloudy day when I met a boy named Bryan who was down in Jamaica for vacation just like me. We both had a lot of things in common and became friends real quick. After playing around the beach for a few hours we both got really bored, so we decided to go on a little adventure out at sea. He brought with him a blow up raft that three people can fit on that can float out in the ocean. So we started pumping air into the raft and then put it out to sea with both of us on it. We wanted to see how far we can make it out far away from the small little bay we were chilling at. While we were heading out into the middle of nowhere, bryan brought we him a little paddle that can move the raft a little bit faster. The water was now deep…

    I looked around. It was a peaceful day. The sun beat down on my exposed neck through gaps in the trees, and the leaves rustled lightly in the breeze. I closed my eyes for a second to admire the subtle sounds and smells of nature.…

    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.…

    There’s no other place in the world where I feel the most at home than being at Long Beach Island. There you can smell the fresh, salty air of the ocean as the warm breeze brushes across your face. It is a place where the sand, sometimes chilled by the water or boiling hot up in the sand dunes, fiddles its way through your toes one by one sending chills down your spine with every step. Off in the distance you can hear the chiming of bells as the ice cream men call children of all ages to cool themselves off with a frozen treat. This is the place that all summer long, I am lucky to call home.…

    The Dominican Republic, known for its beautiful beaches and balmy weather, was the last place I ever imagined I would find myself in this past summer vacation. On this week long trip, it wasn't for the warm ocean waves or the traditional Dominican cuisine I was called to, I was called to serve the beautiful Dominican people. On the third day of the trip, instead of heading out to the worksite where we had been pouring the concrete footers of a plastics and water filter factory, I opted to travel with a group to the childrens' cancer ward in Santiago and visit the patients. We started out our visit by performing a few dances we had taught our vacation bible school and handing out fun little gift we had brought with us. We played ball with some…

    The last week of July finally arrived, and I remember crying as I watched my friends board the ship. I was devastated as I watched them have fun in the Bahamas, while I was stuck outside in the hot sun practicing all day. Looking back on it now, I wish I had gone. I missed out on many things such as swimming with dolphins and snorkeling. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I may never have again.…

    Looking over the side all I seen were clouds and ocean. The water looked so beautiful from up that high. I could see birds flying in and out of the clouds from underneath of us. After a while I saw the island, palm trees covered it and the beaches were by far the best scenery. After our plan landed and we got off, the first thing I felt was the hot, humid air hit my face. Unluckily I was wearing jeans and a sweater because it was fall in Ohio. We were greeted with friendly faces welcoming us to Dominican Republic.…

    It was a good few weeks into the summer holidays of three years ago, and I was eleven years of age. I was with my family on a vacation in North Wales, situated right near the sunny beaches of a town called "Pwllheli". That summer we had rented out a wooden lodge from a dear friend of my mothers and we couldn't have been staying in a more beautiful place. Around the lodge were towering trees with the hot, glorious sunshine creeping through the brittle branches and elegant little flowers swaying in the cool breeze from the glistening sea in the background.…

    I stared down at my reflection in the crystal clear water. My chestnut brown hair that had never been cut since I was born was laying delicately on my face. It wasn't very long, only enough to cover my eyebrows a bit. I looked around at the place where I sat, watching the jade leaves dancing down from the trees. It was afternoon, about to be seven o'clock, the wind was blowing from the east, and gently flew past me to the west where it hit the ocean.…

    My family and I were on a vacation to Santorini. One of the biggest parts of it was the sunset. From our hotel, we rode a Taxi to Oia, the best place to view the sunset. By 7 o’clock in the evening, the place was already swarming with people. We walked along with the vast wave of crowd, looking for a place to sit. Suddenly, I saw it. Just beside the path full of people, there was a large stone boulder; the perfect viewing spot. After waiting for the sunset for about 30 more minutes, it was finally here. The sky flared with radiant streaks of color, which settled on top of the ocean. Light purple, cotton candy pink, brilliant orange, and bright golden yellow swirls decorated the evening sky, as if alight with fire. All the smooth colors blended perfectly into each other. The once-fiery sun, now glowing softly, rested upon the tranquil, dark-blue ocean, slowly sinking into the horizon. As the last ray of light faded, everything was dark and peaceful. Suddenly, a standing ovation filled the air. I was among those clapping like I have never before. The sun had set, in a way that filled the sky, even though it, itself, was small compared to the endless sky. It has shown its importance here and was off to somewhere else to shine.…

    The ocean dances beneath the sunlight which was sparkling on the rippling waves. The color of the ocean was a rich deep blue in some spots and in others a bright, aquamarine green. We drove down to a beach called Sandy’s. The warm sand squished under my feet. I stopped just before the water touched my toes. I stood there taking it all in. The sun on my bare white shoulders and the warm cozy sand beneath my…
