It is my summer at my grandparent's house. They are old, and I am young, having been the second oldest grandchild. To have fun I would make jewelry and tend to my grandma's garden and watch TV, even though that does not seem too exciting, I seek excitement-but it is grandpa's quietness that draws me, and because he does not force meaningless conversations, I relax.

I finish my first piece of jewelry and begin another. He is easy-going, and does not care for change.

I begin to ask grandpa a question, "Would you like anything?" the way I always do.

    As I was writing my personal narrative for my composition 1 class, it easily made my mind boggle. After I had got started on my personal narrative, it was easy for me to keep writing and keep following along the story line.

I wanted it to be very attention grabbing with a twist, but I also wanted it to be very emotional.…

    Starting from a place I remembered as a teen, moving from a place that was warm to a place that had all four seasons; such as winter, spring, summer and fall. The First place that I grew up was surrounded by mountains. During the winter it was full of white snow, something that I was never used to seeing coming from California where all one would see was sandy beaches and the waves clasping one another. As I remember being so new to Park City, UT all I could see was the wonderful views of trees, mountains and people skiing or snowboarding. I have to say this was a fond memory because for the firs time I was actually able to experience the feeling of what winter was…
