Graduating Narrative

It was finally our day; we are the class of 2010. I started out my morning waking up with the feeling of excitement.  The most excited I have ever been.  The type that gives a person butterflies to the point of a stomach ache. It is the feeling that I accomplished a goal, such as getting a perfect grade on an Anatomy exam. That kind of excitement.  I jumped in the shower and got ready for the big day.  What I was wearing at that moment did not matter, it was that oversize stiff gown and the cap that fell lopsided I would be walking across the stage in that mattered.  Even though we all looked so goofy, that cap and gown meant so much more.  It is the reality that we have spent the past 12 years being educated, and now it is all coming to an end. It did not matter what our plans ahead of each of us were, walking across that stage was a feeling of triumph to anyone.  Some of my classmates will move away, some will stay in town, some will go to the military, and some will start families and most will further their education.  That is what these past 12 years prepared us for. Some might call it a 12 year sentence, but not me.  This is where I met my best friends, met amazing teachers, and made memories. The clock was turning fast, though, and it was 11:00a.m. We are all joined in the La Crosse center waiting anxiously to make our final walk. Practice after practice, it is down to nail biting and finger tapping. The pleasant smell of flowers lingered in the nose as we waited.  Standing hip to hip in two single file lines with the partner we will walk in with. The teachers that we have had throughout the years are walking towards us giving each one of us handshakes and hugs.  These are the people who have inspired me to further my education, some more than others. This is the proof that it is time. The hands on the clock finally hit 11:30. I look at my partner, Mitchel, “Ready, set, here we go.”

Narrative

It was a hot summer day in Lexington Kentucky. Jimmy and Petula were playing in the pool.  Jimmy saw something in the bottom of the pool and decided to swim down and find it. I remember the look on his face when he pulled up the object. It was a look that he knew would change our lives forever.  I was so excited to see what it was.  I waddled over to him; you wouldn’t believe what he had found.  It turns out he found an old sunken boat that was used for diamond transport.  We soon alerted our parents and they helped us retrieve the contents of the boat.  Having all these diamonds were going to make us all millionaires.  We each went our separate ways with all this money we had gained, but soon enough came back together and started to plan what we can all do together with the money. Our plans were to invest in the market, invest in the lottery, buy Wal-Mart Company, and buy a house. It was a very tough decision, but we both made up our minds, we bought out all the Wal-Marts in the world. Now we all just sit back, collect our money, and live the life. I think back on the day that we found the diamonds and wonder how life would be if we had not found them diamonds. Would I have gone to school or be struggling to make money to live? All I know is that life is good and fortunate things come at unexpecting times.

3-D Movies

Movies are a type of entertainment that has been around since the late 1880’s and continue to be popular. There are new movies that come out weekly in both DVD and Blu-ray, but with the expansion of new technology there are more and more 3D movies coming out.  Movie producers and viewers are excited because the 3D movies are bringing more of an audience. 3D movies such as Avatar, Toy story 3, Piranha, The last Air Bender, and Resident Evil have been big hits for 2009-2010 because of the new phenomenon. Also, the movies that have come out in 3D have been made for a wide demographic. For example, Toy Story 3 was made for children, teens that watched Toy Story 1 when it first came out, or even adults that take their children to the movie.  My first 3D movie experience was when I went to Avatar and it has became my favorite movie.  The movie was epic and in box office it made $755, 286, 039. 3D movies are an experience that everyone should go see.
