Personal Narrative: Week-Long Boundary Waters Canoe Trip
In high school, I have always earned a spot on the Honor Roll and participated in activities such as soccer, track, and PAWS (Student Ambassador). Also, I challenged myself when I attended the week-long Boundary Waters Canoe Trip. I learned many things there: I learned how to carry a heavy canoe on my own, built a tent to sleep in, carry heavy bags on my back and be independent. Throughout my 4 years in high school and my first 3 years in college, I volunteered at Feed My Starving Children.

    Personal Narrative: Pow Wows

    As someone who has lived in Cumberland House, Saskatchewan and Terrace, British Columbia, this wasn't my first Pow Wow. I will say I don't remember going to any in Cumberland House as I was only two when we lived there, but I there are quite a few funny pictures of me, a chubby blond haired blue eyed baby in my pink jacket sitting among all the brown skinned, brown eyed, and black haired Native babies. I do however remember going to Pow Wows in Terrace. These two places are very different from each other, the Costal peoples having very different traditions from the Plains peoples.…

    Personal Narrative: Lake Tahoe Ride

    This spring I spent two-weeks in New York visiting my daughter and her family. I spend a lot of time in the city, and I love it, not only because my daughter has chosen to create and raise a family in Brooklyn, but also because of its walkability. I’m not much of a shopper, but I do like to watch other shoppers, particularly those who dress as if they’d like to be watched.…

    Personal Narrative: My First Immigrant Expedition

    In the summer of 1803, a twenty-eight year old Virginian was preparing to lead a field expedition into some of the most rugged wilderness on the North American Continent. It would be a perilous undertaking. The platoon traveled by boat, horse and foot for approximately 8,000 miles- venturing beyond maps, traveling into the headwaters of the great Missouri river, across the fearsome Rocky Mountains, and through the unforgiving western plains. The crew explored an undiscovered route to the pacific and back; encountering cold, hunger, danger, and wonders beyond belief. No expedition had ever attempted such an arduous undertaking, no one thought it was possible.…

    Personal Narrative: South Lake Tahoe

    I live in a small city called South Lake Tahoe in the state of California. The people in South Lake consider themselves locals as long as you have lived here for more than 10 years. However, locals consider our city a town. Our town is mainly a tourist town, skiers and snowboarders in the winter and campers in the summer. When somebody moves to South Lake Tahoe, it may only be for a few reasons; to be a ski bum, get out of the bay area, or family. The people that move here either make it or they do not because of financial reasons. It is very hard to make a decent living here. To say it short and simple, a person can move up here with money or they learn to live paycheck by paycheck.…

    Personal Narrative Essay: Entering The Woods On The Trail

    The trail continued around the east side of the lake entering a gathering of trees forming an insignificant forest along the lake’s shoreline. From our viewpoint, the trees concealing the trail eventually dispersed on the southeast side of the lake, and the trail blended into the landscape. Using our imagination, we envisioned the route against the rugged terrain sloping into the lake. No point in taking a vote now, we had trekked to the lake and the consensus was to proceed with a lap around the lake.…

    Personal Narrative: The Great Outdoors

    Everyone has their own community or organization for which they belong to. Within that community you tend to find who you are and what you are about. For me I found my identity in being an outdoors man. Being an outdoors man at my young age seems to be rare at this day, but that doesn’t prevent me from doing something I love and appreciate. Growing up with my family full of avid outdoors men helped influence me and only made my identity stronger.…

    Personal Narrative: My Induction Into The National Honor Society

    I was awarded a wonderful education at Windham High School, but beyond the information I retained, I also learned what is important in life. At first, I thought all that mattered was the clothes you wore, what makeup you had on, and who you were friends with. There is more to life than all that. I love helping others and my induction into the National Honor Society allowed me to do just that, especially in my four service projects I had the opportunity to lead and be a part of. I try to please people and make sure they are always happy and I now know it is most important to give back to the community who gave me so much.…

    Personal Narrative: Outdoors Experiences

    I've never been an "outdoors" experience kind of person. Maybe, it's because I'm very sedentary and prefer to stay inside to read and enjoy tranquility. I avoid all types of chaos and crowded places. Nevertheless, my visit to the Camuy River Cave Park (back in 2004) was refreshing and enriching in knowledge, historically, scientifically and spiritually. That experience brought the best out of me, as a human being and a nature lover, by giving the chance of experiencing a whole new level of peace and tranquility.…

    Personal Narrative Essay: The Deer Hunting Trip

    We went to my Uncle Brian’s house to see them for a family get together. I asked my cousin, Derek, if he could take me hunting soon. He said that when hunting season comes and when It’s youth hunting that he will take me. I said ok and a month later I called him when hunting season started. I said are you still taking me hunting and he said yeah. He said he would pick me up halfway to his house in a week. My mom and I woke up at 4:30am to leave, and my cousin left at 4am so he beat us to the halfway point. I was really excited to spend the next several days with Derek on this hunting trip and I hoped we would get a deer.…
