Read the paragraph from a personal narrative..
It may have seemed like an ordinary day to everyone
else, but to me, it couldn't have been further from it. 2
Today was my first day working as a waitress at Pete's
Pizza Haven, and I could not have been more excited.
3 In fact, I was so excited that I rushed to get ready
much faster than I typically do. 4 "I'm ready to go!" I
shouted, bouncing down the stairs and flying into the
kitchen, where my mom was making breakfast. 5 "I
have so much to learn and don't want to be late," I
declared for emphasis. My mom just grinned and
placed a steaming plate of eggs before me.
Which should be added after sentence 6 to most
effectively move the plot forward?
The excitement of my new job started to wane, and I
began to reconsider if this was truly how I wanted to
spend my summer.
Once I arrived, I quickly learned that my job would
also entail wiping tables, mopping floors, and
washing dishes.
I gulped down my food, grabbed my bus card, and
pecked my mother on the cheek as I raced out the
door.
As I think back on my first job, I remember the many
mistakes I made and the important lessons I learned.
