My Desire for Seattle
Mom, dad I want to go to Seattle. I know you have heard me a bunch of times says this and you just look at me with confused eyes and say “Why, Seattle? Why do you want to go there?” And I always answer the same.“I don’t know.” I just know that I want to go there. There isn’t a specific reason only the desire to go there. I can’t tell you why I want to go there, but I can tell you where my desires for this city started. First when I heard the word Seattle for the first time, second from a T.V show called Frasier and the movie Sleepless in Seattle and last was why nobody else that I know wants to go there everybody wants to go to other citys but not Seattle this makes me desire to go there more.

I started to watch a T.V show called Fraiser it was a little to grown up for me, but I just watched because it was set in Seattle. I was facinated because even though it was fake and I knew they were all acting. I was seen somebody or some people living in Seattle. Every time I saw that show I felt a little close to that city that for some reason for it me sounds like a glamorous and calm place to live. I was over the moon when I saw Fraiser. I still watch it sometimes when it’s been repeated on some channels. It makes me go back to my desire to go to this city.. Another thing that set my mind on Seattle was the romantic movie Sleepless in Seattle. Seeing Tom Hanks living in a boathouse in Seattle and it show a little about the city just made me good there more. And it makes me want to go there more everyday. As you can see mom and dad this desire for that city that semis so far away always follows me.
During high school all of my frinds and classmates wanted to go to the big city or best know like New York, Chicago, L.A or Miami instead I always would blurt out why not Seattle. And they would look at me with the same confuse eyes like you guys. Look at me when I say the same thing. Some would give the direct cut and tell me that it didn’t sounded as glamourse as the ones mention above. Others would tell me go there if you want to but I don’t think you are going to like it. At the end all their opinions and comments didn’t dull my dream of going there instead it has made me want to go there
It has been said that the grass is always greener on the other side. Being excited about the newness and challenges of a new place may not enable it to stay green for a lifetime, but the new place is a great place to spend the next four years. So even though I lived my whole high school life in one city where there were no actual problems, it still was time for me to move where there were new experiences.
For years I’ve been planning a family vacation but had never decided a pleasant and fascinating place to visit. A lot of people relate the adventures in San Antonio for tourists. To mention a few, The Riverwalk, Sea World, Six Flags Fiesta, and The Tower of the Americas are the main attractions that would be perfect for a family trip. I was so enthusiastic and explored more into it. I gave my family the great news of going and exploring this amazing city on our own! San Antonio offers the best of attractions and activities in all Texas! Whether you’re looking for popular entertainment for the whole family or to spend time with your friends, I was so positive I had made a superb decision!
I grew up in Hemet, California in a neighborhood filled with friends that I grew up with. I remembered a lot about my home that I grew up in mostly because I remember details better than most people. I may remember details, but I love looking back on memories I had with my family and friends.
I started to like living in Las Vegas, I was able to get a job right after graduation working at the McCarren Airport at Hudson News Group working as a sales associate, I didn’t have to stress too much about traffic or gas and if I wanted to I could move into my own place and offer it. With all those positive factors that still couldn’t keep me away from California.
As a child, I moved around most of my childhood. From the violent city of Compton, California to the upper middle class of Los Angeles, California, Then later to Elk City, Oklahoma.
The temperature dropped to a frigid ten degrees fahrenheit with a -15 degree wind chill factor in Title Town. The only thing easily seen in the fog was my teammate’s and the thousands of spectator’s breath hovering in the air like a ghost. The championship game was set to start in 15 minutes. My flag football team and I sat on the Green Bay Packers sideline because we won our final game. I eagerly watched my favorite wide receiver, Jordy Nelson, catch the football when suddenly Aaron Rodgers approached me and started talking to me. At first he just discussed the throwing technique that he uses because we were both quarterbacks, but when I told him that I threw for two touchdowns and ran for one he seemed surprised and asked for my autograph.
Every person has an American Dream they want to pursue, achieve and live. Many people write down goals for themselves in order to get to their dream. Those never ending goals can range from academic to personal. As of today, I am living my dream. My American Dream is to become a nurse, travel to many places, have a family, and get more involved with God.
Early Saturday, August 19th, 2017 morning when my friend Bailey and I arrived to the adventurous Cedar Point ; which is located in Sandusky, Ohio, USA. I was wearing a pink shirt, shorts, and a black pair of shoes. The skies were big and blue, and the sun casted a warmth feeling. The air had a mouth warming feeling, and had the smell of fresh foods in the distance. People had big smiles on their face of enjoyment while others looked nervous or frightened. As I waited in line for the Millennium Force, there were butterflies flying around in my stomach. When I sat in my seat and the clanking of the chains lifted me up the big hill, the waves in the lake were dancing with the wind. We reached the top a cool breeze brushed along my arms, and in a blink of an eye, we were going downhill and all around in twisted movements. I got of the ride and a train was passing by. The fumes from the train were strong and gave a heavy smell of iron as is passed on by. The
Even though my grandparents did not live in a big city, it was a fun small town. A town that was so small, it only had one traffic light. Everybody knew everybody. It was a real country town, but I loved it. Well, I use to love it. That’s how I used to feel about it until it happened.
At the age of seven, my life changed forever. I was no longer living in my native country; I was now a fragment of the millions of immigrants who come to the United States in search of the American Dream. At the time, my father had recently lost his job and my mother was unemployed, which caused incredible financial stress for my family. My father decided to risk his life crossing the Rio Grande River for our family to have a better life and greater rewards.
In my perspective, my American Dream includes freedom. I am frequently asked what I believe in and what my life goals are, and to be honest, I am not even fully sure. However, I do look forward to growing up and being able to make my own decisions on what I want to persue my life in. In the wise words of Ray E. Disney, “When your values are clear, making decisions becomes easier”(Disney, Brainy Quotes). This quote made me realize how freedom is one of my values because I always want to be allowed to make any decision I want to improve and continue my life. The fact that I am allowed to go anywhere I want to go, do anything I want to do, and also be anything I want to be, gives me the freedom of choosing the options I am given. Every decision
I was fifteen when it all began; the laughing, taunting, teasing, the confusion. It wasn’t always like this. I used to be happy.
“The American Dream” can be interpreted in many different ways. For some, it might mean freedom and wealth, but for others such as myself it can be defined as a quest for opportunity and a better future. Migrating to the United States from Nepal as a ten year old, I have had to overcome many hurdles such as language barriers, assimilation, and conflicts of identity.
