KAPPA IV Memoir - Mr. Almanzar

By: Brandon

It was a big day for me. I was getting my second trophy. I was so excited, I could yell out “Brandon you’re the man” but I didn’t. The people are going with me were my aunt my cousin my grandmother and my friend. We got to the award ceremony. We stayed for two hours and I got my trophy.

Exiting the building my friend asked to see my trophy. I gave it to him excitingly wondering what he thought about it. He gave it back to me.  I went to sit down and I saw my cousin Tyrne and my friend Alize running towards the stairs. They both jumped and grabbed the pole. And they did it again and again.

Then I thought to myself and decided to try that with confidence. And so I did. I went toward the stairs with sweaty hands. I was nervous for that big jump. I kept telling myself not to do it but I did it any way. I leaped and got a good grip

on the pole and then I let go. “Wow I did it”, I said out loud but just loud enough so my friends could hear me. By now, I was going for my second jump. the only difference was that I was not that nervous. I leaped once more but this time it did not go so well. I got a good grip on the pole but then I slipped. And now I was  falling in slow motion. I saw peoples facial expressions. I felt the wind pushing against my back. I tasted dryness. now I Know what I am in for .

My lessons learned was not to follow others and do not over step your boundaries. I am Brandon and this is my story.
