Personal Narrative: Touchdown
Touchdown! I jumped up in the air and cheered because my favorite football team won the game I was watching. Then a news flash storm watch popped up on the t.v. It said severe thunder storms, possible hail, high winds, and even said it seemed supernatural.
Lightning flashed and I noticed my phone was on the back porch. I decided to make a run for it. I grabbed a small flashlight and ran outside. Right before I grabbed my phone, I tripped. The flash light flew out of my hand a few feet away from me. Then I saw a flash of light and the loudest boom I ever heard. After I stood up, I realized that the lightning has struck my flashlight. I grabbed my phone and dashed inside.
Trying to sleep that night was impossible but when I got up, I realized

Then my Dad walked up next to me and told me that I had passed out in there yard. He wanted to know who I was. I was shocked at first but eventually I told him that I was in town visiting my family in the neighborhood. When I walked out of the house I realized that the flashlight had brought me back in time to the day my parents were killed. My parents will be killed again tonight if I don’t stop the criminal that did it. That night I waited for the car to park next to the house. I snuck behind the car and when he got out I shined the flashlight in his eyes which blinded him for a few moments. That gave enough time to swing the hardest punch I had ever thrown. I hit him so hard it knocked him out. I grabbed the gun that would have killed my parents and threw it as far as I could from the house. Taking one last look at the house, I shined the flashlight on the ground next to me. The numbers appeared again and I picked the day that would bring one back to the present. I saw a flash of light and I was back to my house. My phone started ringing and I answered it. I heard my mom’s voice. She asked me if I wanted to meet her and my dad to eat lunch this afternoon and catch up. I just smiled because I realized that I had saved

    “LET’S GO BOYS!!!! LET’S WIN THIS!!! BEAT THESE RAVENS!!!!!!” The crowd was screaming and chanting wildly as we began to run out of the locker rooms and onto the large football field. I lead them, raising my arms up and down to signal the crowd to get louder with their cheers. As I did this, I was also sprinting to the middle of the field through the large slit that was cut for my eyes. I turned back to the crowd in the stands, and the players ran around me, with smiles of their faces, to get to their positions and the bench. I started to jump and raise my arms, “ FROGGY!!! FROGGY!!! FROGGY!!!” They all chanted my name in union, some of them even had signs and horns! A large smile crept onto my face behind my large mascot mask, and I couldn’t…

    Today was the day. The big day. My election for Lieutenant Governor of Division 2B for Key Club, an international service club, was today. Fear and anxiety pricked my skin in rapid movements emanating from every pore. I rehearsed my speech for the fifth time that day. Upon arrival at the Fairfax Library, I urged myself to remain calm. I quickly scouted out the other girls who were present; one girl was dressed professionally with a folder in her hand. I knew that was my competition. The girl spoke eloquently and genially, she radiated enthusiasm and a certain warmth that I did not have. With every question that was asked, she answered with a smooth smile and high-pitched tone that was dripping with sincerity. I bristled inside; I had just been slapped. I was shrouded in a cloud of anxiety and anxiousness. Suddenly, I was dragged from my reverie.…

    My first goal was to complete a 200 pound bench press. I selected this goal because I wanted more power in football. My second goal was to do 75 consecutive push ups. I chose this goal because push ups are a great exercise to increase your bench press. My third goal was to get really cut and lower my body fat percentage. I increase cardio and changed to a healthier diet to achieve this goal. My fourth goal was to weight 150lbs. I chose this goal because having some extra weight will help me on the football field. I tried to make these goals reasonable and with a lot of hard work I was able to achieve 2 of them.…
