When I was 5years old my little sister was born it is my earliest memory I have.
We are at the hospital my mom just went into labor. I’m scared for my mom. I keep asking my dad if she is okay. We are there all night. I’m getting sleepy. There is nothing to do. I heard that there was a baby I want to see. All these things go through my head. As I wait in the hospital.

Later when it’s blue outside my grandpa comes and gets me. We go home I’m kind of happy to leave but I’m still worried about my mom. But I still want to see the baby. We go home my grandpa tells me to go to sleep when I awake I ask if mom and dad are back with baby. He says.

We get a phone call my grandpa answers it. The baby was born! I’m so excited. The next day mom and dad come back with baby. Mom holder it I ask what it is they tell me it’s a girl. I say like me. They say yes. My mom bends down so I can see the baby. I look at her. I whisper hi to her. She is so tiny. I look at my mom and smile I finally see baby. They tell me her name is Myra.

She has been there for awhile now. I’m starting to get mad because my mom and dad are spending their time with her. They don’t play with me anymore it irritates me. So I start being mean to Myra. I would make her cry. I was so bad. But no one could punish me because my grandpa wouldn’t let them. So I got away with it. But to tell you the truth I’m still mean to her to this day. But I love her.

Narrative Essay. By Anthony

“Who’s there?” – No answer.
The second house I remember moving into was an interesting house. It was easy to see why, unless you didn’t live in it for a while.

“Why do you always steal candy that I buy?” my mother always told me. I knew exactly why she said it to me. Something in the freezer was missing and I loved to get into it. I was the notorious thief that they couldn’t catch, only accuse. I knew I was guilt for some of them, but I blamed my little sister for the rest of them, knowing that she wouldn’t without me.

“I don’t steal it.” Nobody would believe me. I would usually find it by the washer, in a dark corner, and throw it away. That’s where they would catch me, the worst part. That’s why they would blame me almost every time something wasn’t right.

“You never believe me.” They never did believe my sister or I. We were the only ones who would take the candy. Everybody else was my mom’s little angel. They never realized that it wasn’t always my sister or I. We just seemed to be there at the wrong time.

“Who’s there?” – No answer--. There was never an answer. I could swear that I saw something there although I could never prove it, especially when I wanted to. There was one time I saw something out of the corner of my eye that decided to give me the chance to turn my head in time. They were always over by the washer in the dark room.

“I swear I saw something there.” My mom only believed me when she saw an old man that wouldn’t go. She had previously seen something, looking like one of my brothers, go into a closet and not come out, but not be there either, when she came and looked in it. I don’t get how she didn’t believe me.

“An old man used to live there”. one of our neighbors told us. NO. That verified it.

The day I surprised everyone
When my parents had the neighbors call the cops on me I was so scared because I’ve never been in this much trouble before especially with the law.
So the a cop came to talk to me that day, I was so nervous I just told all the truth that I did so I wouldn’t get into anymore trouble then what I was already in.
That next day I went to school and after my step was waiting for me in our driveway so she made sure I came home.
When I got home I had to do so much work until my dad came home, but the bad thing was when he did get there we had another long talk about what I’ve been doing and I having talks about the same thing over n over again it bothers and irritates me so much.
So the next day I didn’t go to school and in the morning the cop came n picked me up and took me to D.T., it was the most frightening moment I think I have ever had.

When I first found out I was moving I was excited I wasn’t sure I was going to tell any one though. I really didn’t have any friends then but I told some people before moving and made a couple friends. When the day came that I had to move I hated the fact that I had to move.
Well after six months of living in Orem it was the last day of summer the next day would be the first day for seventh graders. I had just got a new cat while I was getting in bed I was thinking, “what would I do if my house caught on fire?” I fell asleep and was woken by screaming and yelling I pulled my drapes up to see what was going on at first it was just an orange blur then my eyes focused and my neighbors house was on fire. I grabbed my cat and put my shoes on the house were filled with smoke and my windows blew out. It was the scariest moment of my life.
I still went to school the next day and I made great friends during seventh and eighth grade I failed. Cade my brother thought it would be better if I went to his old school the one he graduated from which was summit high school. I did really well my first two terms after Cade left I started not caring for my grades when Cade came back he was disappointed and made me go back and make up all my grades. If I had cared for my grades I wouldn’t have to do all the work and im glad he made me do it.
After going to summit for about six months I started hanging with a bad crowd. I started to smoke I didn’t mind the first time cause I thought it was just a one time thing it wasn’t I did it more. My mom found a smoke in my bag I finally realized how far it had gone I realized I didn’t want to smoke anymore and finally quit. I honestly believe that if I would have never move I wouldn’t had seen what I seen or done what I done

“Yes I’ll go to your house after school” I said this to my best friend in 2006 we used to talk a lot about his family and my problems but he never told me about his cousin Yadira. The first time when I saw her I didn’t fall in love but I thought that she was good looking lady. I said what’s up yadira. Are you doing something today? Cause I thought that might we can go to the movies or somewhere tonight. I was nervous but I knew that she will mine.

We went to the movies that day and it was awesome because I kissed her. I felt butterflies on my stomach, I knew that something was different in my mind cause I used to think about her every time even when I was in my bad days.

This is how the relationship started. We used to go out every weekend and have fun. When I moved myself to another city that’s when we had problems. We talked about it and we made a deal, which was that we’ll keep in touch every day. At first was easy but later was difficult because I had other stuff to do. One time I didn’t call her for a month she got crazy and we broke out.

I didn’t care when she said that because I knew that she loved me and she will be back in less the three weeks. I was normal like if nothing happened to me one day I decided to call her and I told her that I was sorry about what I have done that I needed a second chance.

We were together again and I thought that this time was for ever. I was just 16 years old when I decided to make I tattoo of her name on my chest “I thought it would be cool gift for her”. I went so many times to visit her because she couldn’t go to visit me but we built a excellent relationship until I decided to choose another girl.

Narrative Introduction

The brown bird

One day we got home and were taking food inside. We finished bringing groceries inside and forgot about are garage and left it open. And later that day we went to the store and bought lumber to build a big tree house in a tree that we just cut the branches off of.
And it started to build it and it took us tree days to build it. On the second day we left our garage open for about three hours and when we went inside for lunch. I heard some thing making a weird noise like “chirp, chirp, chirp”
and flapping around in our garage. At first we thought it was a bat or an owl and so we grabbed it with a fishing net. It turned out to be a brown dove so we pulled it out of the net and let it free!!

Narrative Introduction

Age 16 the day I shocked everybody I know

It all started when I was outside in the backyard and my dad came home. He was just finishing feeding the animals when he said “Landon when your done watering the horses then come in the house we need to talk”. I was in my mind I hope its not about what I’ve been doing lately, but when I went in my dad told me to take a seat on the couch.

Narrative Introduction

As I opened the door, I had my headphones in and I was listening to one of my favorite songs. I really wish I hadn’t because there was my mom sitting there with my brother and boxes packed. My mom asked me to sit and told me we were moving. I realized then this was no joke and asked, “Were to”? “Orem” my brother answered this time he sounded mad. “When”? “Two weeks at the most.” “Ok” I went to school the next day and kept quiet I decided that I would just disappear. I wasn’t ready to leave I had lived here for my whole life. Two weeks went by fast. I was checked out and headed to my new home and worried. It was going to take some time getting use to it. On my way there I learned two things 1. I found something I hated 2. I knew this could be a good or bad thing I wasn’t sure. Ive now lived here for 3 years and learned that although I hated it I loved it. I made new friends and completely new that if I had not moved I would have never met the people I did.
