Walk essay from like 10th grade
After trying to go on many walks, going to Onondaga Lake Park with my mom to go on an actual walk, but there wasnt one, we walked for about a mile and a half. We talked about what we were doing over the summer. It was nice being without my little sister. But after a few weeks, my mom and I finally arrived at our first walk. At the beginning, during registration, and events leading up to the walk, it was very intimidating to say the least. We arrived there fairly early, so we had to sit and wait for at least a half hour. When it finally became time to walk, I had low energy, but I just wanted to get it over with. It was hectic trying to have everyone leave the same area at once, but once my mom and I started walking past the moms and their strollers, we got more into it. We talked about the day, and how it was going so far. The scenery was pretty, but I like Onondaga Lake Park better. Even though both places do not smell so good. My mom and I talked about our future, and some of her past. Even though this walk was The March of Dimes', March of Babies, my mom only brought $20 because we did not know what to do. I thought I did good walking all 3 miles, because I do not get or do much exercise, my mom kind of walks fast, but she slowed down a little bit for me, I walked a bit faster than usual though. We got back earlier than I expected. My mom went to get food, I had to stay in the car, I was really sore, and it hurt to move, and it took a while to catch my breath. Although it was only like 53 degrees I was sweating, and very warm. My mom went up tp the place to get food and to go to the bathroom. I was in the car for maybe 10 minuets, maybe more. I watched crowds of people slowly trickle in. My mom finally came back to the car with the same food for us both; a Cesar salad, mini pretzels, a hot dog, and chips. I was thankful that they provided all of this for free basically, and they also provided bottled water. I did not feel we contributed to The March of Dimes much, and I did not meet anyone. I just stuck with my mom because I felt a little bit uncomfortable.
