Narrative essay
Some people are lucky enough to have already experienced an event in their lives that completely overshot any expectations. When my friends first started talking about going on a senior trip, I never could have dreamed about how much fun it would be. Some people may think of a senior trip as a time to spend with their friends before everyone scatters to different schools. To me, it will always be considered as one of the best times in my life. My friends and I decided to take a senior trip last summer. For months the trip was the topic of every conversation we had. Normally, seniors look forward to the prom and graduation, but I couldn't wait for the trip.

I was worried that there wouldn't be enough room for all of us, but when one of my friends turned the key to the condo and I stepped inside, I couldn't believe how big it really was. Each condo had four huge bedrooms with a television. Also, each had a kitchen equipped with everything you would need, such as an oven, microwave, refrigerator, and a breakfast nook. The living room had a mini bar, and a balcony that overlooked the Gulf of Mexico. Mirrors surrounded the dining room, which really was a sight to see. I was totally taken by surprise because all I saw before the trip was a little brochure that briefly described the condos and the local attractions.
