I Grew Up in Atlantic Beach

Collection:

Prompt: The beach isn’t always a place of rest and relaxation: consider a time at a beach or lake that didn’t turn out the way you had hoped.

I grew up in Atlantic Beach, just two minutes away, but we rarely went because my mom worked a lot. So I was excited for a school beach field trip. My mom packed two huge bags—extra towels, toys, snacks—but we didn’t take a bus. We walked five blocks, and I had to carry both bags. I asked my teacher for help, and she said, “You shouldn’t have brought all that.” By the time we got there, we were exhausted. It turned out okay, but that walk was miserable.
