Personal Narrative: The Orlando International Airport
I opened the door to enter the Orlando International Airport and my mouth dropped. It was 8 am and the airport was packed with people moving in every direction. There was nowhere to sit or rest. I could hear people yelling, cars honking, soft music playing, etc. (Sensory details) I was surprised that it was this packed, and a little irritated since the only reason I picked such an early flight back to Illinois was to avoid long lines at the airport. I could feel my palms sweat as I looked at the airport’s map to figure out where to go first. I looked at Sasha, my friend who was making sure I knew what I was doing, and waited for her to say something. As she looked around, I began to panic. I felt my heart tightened and I had to take a few deep breaths so I did not freak out. I was very nervous to navigate around this huge airport; especially since I have the worst sense of direction, and I always get lost whenever I have to go somewhere alone. After I calmed down, I knew what I had to do first. (Hyperbole) …show more content…
(Dialogue)
The airport had two shuttles, a blue one and a green one, which took people to different parts of the airport and I was terrified of getting on the wrong shuttle and missing my flight. We began to walk around the airport and I held onto Sasha tight so that we would not get separated. Finally, Sasha found my airline section and we saw a woman that was working there. Sasha went up to ask her about the shuttles but before she did I made sure that my phone was on the notes app.
“Excuse me, do you know which shuttle to take if my friend is going on this flight,” Sasha asked as she showed the woman my boarding

    It was unusually cold on this morning of September 11th, 2001, and my alarm had just went off. The odd but needed 5 am. was when I woke up, because my flight was going to leave around 8:30 and I needed to be there on time. The reason I was flying to San Francisco was I was having a family reunion with my dad, my step-mom, and my step-brothers. So, I jumped in the shower quickly with joy and excitement. I hadn't seen my family in forever since I had gotten a job as the assistant of the manager in Ralph Lauren Headquarters. I had just gotten my hair dried as I heard my phone ring. It was dad, making sure that I was on my way. I talked to him for a few minutes and then hung up. I glanced at the clock and realized…

    “Passengers flying Flight QF563, your gate is now open for boarding”, I peacefully sipped what remained of my coffee and waited for Joshua to finish his bacon and egg roll. Shortly after, we began to make our way to our designated gate. The smell of low-priced takeout food filled the air and couldn’t help, but leave me feeling overly excited. My son and I navigated our way through the clustered crowds of other keen travellers, following the signs above our heads as well as the announcements that were played through the speakers at the airport.…

    My dad was the person that named me Brian. Knowing him, I was pretty lucky to get a normal name. I’m surprised that it wasn’t something strange or funny-sounding. My siblings have pretty normal names too. My brother is William and my sister is Jennifer. My middle name is Robert. It was given to me because it is my father’s name, and his middle name is his father’s name, and so on. I guess my parents wanted to keep the tradition. My last name is Guedes. It has run in the family for as long as I can remember. My last name is Cuban, just like everyone in my family. My parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, ect. are all fully Cuban and I’m proud of that.…

    When I disembarked from the plane at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City, I reported to the United Service Organizations (USO) office to check in. I arrived at night, which adds to the nerve-wracking feeling of the beginning of a new way of life. I got there with a group of three other people, which includes later to be my friend or buddy, Wan Bin from China. We were all tense I guess because of the combination of thrill, and expectation, and that caused us to start pacing back and forth. I felt like an escaped prisoner who would be caught at any minute. It really made me look at the people going about their normal routine in a different light. I was about to embrace a new path and it was just another night at the airport for all of them.…

    We just got off the plane and we are in Atlanta, Georgia. We came from Ohio and it was about an hour and a half to Atlanta. Atlanta is the biggest airport in the U.S.A. They had a big food court and a lot of shops to shop in. We were heading to gat D. We had to take the train, but we had to stop at A, B, C, and then finally, D. We had to go through security and that was the worst part. When we finally got finished with security we waited at our gate. After we got on the plane we took our seats then started to fly. I loved it when it was going up in the air because it felt like it was a roller coaster and you had that feeling like your belly is hollow. My sister and I watched the movie Pitch Perfect 2.

Then I went downstairs to fix myself a bagel. My husband Joe had already gone to work and taken our two daughters, Kim and Julie to school. He had left me a note on the fridge saying, “Good luck on the plane ride. I will be praying for you. I love you.” I had almost forgotten about my fear of riding planes!
