Ti Amo

I was so excited. The day I’ve waited for, it was June 25th and I was finally leaving for my much anticipated trip to Italy. I’ve always wanted to go to Italy and go see everything it has to offer. It was a long flight so I decided to watch the excellent airline movie, then listen to some of the latest musical hits and read the great instructions on what to do in case of an emergency.

Travelling to Italy was only one of the many things I wanted to do after I finished high school. Last year I spent most of my summer in Cancun, and the year before that I spent it in Australia where I got to meet many of my father’s relatives.

Often I would fall into a dream, hoping on day they would come true. I always worried that when I went on vacation I would find the girl of my dreams. I always dreamt that I would find he blond haired green eyed girl that would be everything I ever wanted. “Signori e Signore our flight is just about complete please wait until the plane makes a complete stop then exist at the designated areas. Thank you for choosing A’litalia and have a great day.”

“Thank God” I thought to myself, I was in the most beautiful city in the world with unlimited opportunities. “Would all the passengers on the A’litalia bus tour please get on the bus” Come on we’ve gotta hurry up, we have so many things to do today” said the perky yet annoying yet still very hot tour lady Linda. “Cuttie you’re going to need to bring this card with you where ever you go, promise me you won’t lose it Joseph” “I promise I will hold it as if I were holding you, with all my life” I replied .

“People come on you know how much I hate waiting” said Linda and we all knew how much she did. It was a long flight and everyone just wanted to go back to the hotel, but unfortunately, Linda had other plans for us, even though it was already six o’clock.

Our first stop was at “Del Mia Casa” restaurant , I was starving since I didn’t dine on the fine cuisine that the airline offered. The smell outside tantalised our taste buds and we just couldn’t wait to eat.

  • Women In Renaissance Florence

    1802 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the traditional political history of Italy the people outside of the ruling class of the society were rarely studied. Only with the use of social history did the issues of class and gender begin to be debated by scholars. Numerous recent articles have done a great job of analysing particularly men of high status. In this paper I will look at the lower classes of Renaissance Florence. More specifically, I will center my focus on the lives of women during this era, how they were treated and viewed by people of other classes and how women were viewed and treated by men.

    Living in Italy showed me how much I had to be grateful for. I saw firsthand another culture’s day-to-day lifestyle. Italian culture isn’t as fast-paced as American culture. Their slower pace forces you to appreciate a little more of what each day offers. My job was as an Au pair which is a live-in nanny/teacher for the family’s children. Most

  • Italian Culture

    There’s a lot more to being Italian than the typical stereotypes that we have come to know from movies, television and books. From the Catholic mobsters who kill during the week but always make it to mass on Sunday, to the “how you doin” views of Joey from the television show “Friends”, people often forget the more important parts of being Italian. It is a culture like no other, full of history, art, and most importantly, their passion for food. Italian food, in my opinion, is the best in the world. Italians put so much into everything they make that the time and effort is tasted with every single bite. One of my favorite dishes would have to be fettuccini alfredo and it just happens to be a fairly easy, but extremely delicious, dish to make. Trust me, if I can make it, you can make it.

  • Gender Roles In Childhood

    There has been a study assessing the career preference of men and women, the study found that men are more attracted towards masculine job while women show no preference. This study also shows that men are more sensitive to gender stereotyping (Barth & Guadagno & Rice & Eno & Minney, 2015). The results of this study supports that men experience heavier social pressure and expectations to conform to society’s standards of masculinity. In addition, Current outcomes of studies highlights the underrepresentation of women in the field of STEM. Interestingly, while many women show interest in this field, only few would consider pursuing this option (Beede et al. 2011). This may be caused by women’s tendency to prioritize factors such as marriage, family, and helping others in choosing a career option, as jobs in the field of STEM are less accommodating to employees that are family oriented (Ceci et al. 2009). Expected themes seem to manifest in these data. There is a trend showing that both men and women’s career choice are somehow influenced by gender expectations and roles.

  • Persuasive Essay About Studying Abroad

    1060 Words  | 3 Pages

    Like stated above, I am from Green Bay and go to school in De Pere, therefore, I am very familiar with the area. Since I grew up in this area, I know a lot of people I can talk to if I need help or a lot of places I can go. Going to Italy, I will no longer have that comfort and will no longer be able to rely on those people or places. I plan on overcoming this challenge by educating myself with the Italian culture before I arrive. Some strategies I will do include: reading articles on google or a book from the library, and asking my friend questions about the area and culture. I want to learn as much information I can before being able to experience it first-hand. I am also interested in reaching out to my classmates that are studying abroad with me; this way I know a familiar face and we can talk about our concerns, opinions, and interest together. By doing these things, I know I will be ready to be out of my comfort

  • My Trip to Italy

    I stood in the town square of the small village. Like any other normal day, people were going about their day-to-day business. Old men sat on a wooden bench beneath a large tree and predicted this year’s crop. Women shared town gossip as they shopped for groceries, and children sucked on lollipops while they played along the cobblestone streets. However, unlike any other day, the whole crowd had stopped in unison and darted their eyes in my direction, their full attention on me. I heard hushed whispers as I passed by the crowd, “Americano!” “Oh mio Dio, guarda com’è alto!” I lowered my head as I thought to myself, “What the hell am I doing here? I’m in a country where I don’t know the language or the culture, and I have another nine and a half months until I go home!” I didn’t know it then, but those nine and a half months that lay in front of me would be the experience that would challenge my views and goals and help shape the person I am today.
