Sheep-Personal Narrative
Personal Narrative
I remember the sheep. Everyday it would be there to greet me as I came in to daycare. It would be on the wall, staring into nowhere. I don’t blame it, after all, it was just a picture on a sign.

We stomped and we stomped. The room filled with the sound of many feet hitting the floor. Even the teachers joined in, but alas, it was no use. It might have been big, but it was

    I was a cross country runner for all four years of my high school career. Regardless of how many races I ran, each one was just as nerve racking as the first. It has been years since I have ran a cross country race, but I can still relive the memory like it was yesterday. Cross country was not just a sport for me; it was exhilarating and challenging.

I remember standing at the starting line, waiting in anticipation for the ear-splitting crack of the gun, and the light floating smell of gun powder. I could almost feel the anxious and pounding heart beats of the runners around me. My muscles were taut…
