I would really appreciated if you correct my narration "please." I need help on grammar, punctuation, word choice, and no fragments. For instance, subject + verb + complete thought. Also if you have, I need your opinion on my conclusion if I had made my point. Thank you.
The 6th Grade Camping Trip
On my 6th grade camping
trip, I learned to cherish and love every moment
of life. When we
the 6th grade classes were about to leave to go to
Big
Bear, I didn’t get a chance to see my mother that day to say goodbye and to
let her know I loved her. I felt sad
when because mama had been working that early morning to earn money to pay off the bills. After we had left, I was excited because it was my first camping trip. I didn’t know what to expect. My friend and I were talking about the things we might be doing
over on at the campsite in Big Bear. For instance,
are they are going to tell us scary stories around a camp fire or maybe go hiking at night when it’s terrifying
? During the trip up to the mountains, it had started to snow fast. I had never seen snow
before. When we approached a highway patrol station for the vehicles to get their chains installed on the wheels
, I asked the teacher “What are the chains for?” Ms. Fontura said “It helps to stay on the road in order for us not to slip away.” Our two buses got them installed. Soon enough, we departed to our destination; meanwhile the bus was making weird noises because of the chains on the tires. Suddenly
, we approached a slight
slated curve high above on the mountain
and our bus started to slide towards the opposite lane side rail. Everyone was screaming or panicking in the bus. I was so scared and thinking of my mom
and how much I love her. In the bus
, looking out the window
, I saw
that the rail
had broke
n off but we had stop
ped moving because of the rail. When we hit
, there was fog far beneath the mountain with little speckles of pine tree sticking out. I
was so shocked
at what just happen
ed to us and
was still shaky. Until this day I cherish every moment in life and tell my family I love them every day.
