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!

perfect. It almost took us 9 hours to arrive to our destination, safe, feeling super excited and motivated to visit all the amazing places people discourse about. Once arriving to the hotel, eager to eat Mexican food, we approach this outstanding restaurant, La Fogata, were flautas were rich with guacamole, sour cream, and red salsa. Coming to La Fogata and tried dishes that are made with the freshest ingredients based on traditional recipes found throughout Mexico, was simply delicious! Not to forget all the decorations out in the patio, water fountains, color lights, live music with mariachis, big trees, making you feel like home and welcomed. The next morning, we wake up with the idea of going to The Riverwalk.
The Riverwalk, also known as Paseo del Rio, is more than one of the main walkways in San Antonio, it is a public park which is open 365 days of the year, it is not just a boat tour, but a unique and memorable bout tour! It takes approximately 5 miles of downtown to finish the journey on the boat. Filled with lined restaurants and umbrellas along the whole river to enjoy the peaceful view of all the architectures of hotels and restaurants while enjoying a delicious meal next to the river with the beautiful view of the ducks and fishes. It is amazing! Several historical events occurred before the construction and invention of the famous Riverwalk. It started back in the 1700’s where the Spanish council of war approved a site on the San Antonio river for a fortified presidio, a fort, which at the end it came to be an unforgettable route for tourists to come and enjoy throughout the day and
night. Furthermore, Sea World and Six Flags Fiesta are other entertaining and pleasing attractions. Whales, sea lions, penguins and plenty of enjoyable presentations to the public, for example, is what makes Sea World an unforgettable experience with these adorable creatures. They are a beautiful nature and it makes you think that the future for these animals is in our hands and is never too late to start taking care of the ocean and sea. The enormous and courageous ride in Sea World is called, the Steel Eel. I will ride it every day if I could! It’s the adrenaline that makes you wanting to ride it over and over again. On the other hand, Six Flags Fiesta is a popular themed park full with dozens of thrill rides, like the Superman, Batman, Scream, Poltergeist, and the Goliath rides are only for people that like to feel alive and really scream! They’re just a few rides that go up to 50 to 60 MPH in seconds! It’s a trip for the whole family with rides for all ages, along with shows and activities to enjoy. Rides, souvenir stores, food, drinks, and games make a memorable experience with the ones you love. In addition, The Tower of the Americas is 750 foot-tall located in downtown San Antonio. It provides guests the most spectacular view from up above and permits to enjoy the gorgeous panorama. A visit to the Tower of the Americas wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the Flags Over Texas Observation Deck, which offers mesmerizing views of the city below where photos can be taken to enhance your experience and memories. The restaurant offers delicious food that tastes even better with the scenic views this wonderful tower includes. The price for this adventure is definitely worth it! In conclusion, our trip in San Antonio was for 7 days. We made every day count! We made the most out of this outstanding city while we lasted there. Leaving us with satisfaction to the fullest and joy for being able to share this remarkable activities and attractions together as a family. With all this places to visit here makes me realize of how big and popular San Antonio is, located in south-central Texas, being the second most populated in the state. Being one of the most pleasant and impressive cities anyone could visit throughout the year!
One of the most surprising and uncommon events happened to me in the summer of 2015, Sedona, Arizona. It started out as a pleasant summer getaway; visiting the Grand Canyon, Sedona rock slides, and just having an amazing, memorable time with friends and family. One day, we decided that it would be enjoyable to have a picnic in the forest. The trees were deep green and lush. The tranquil, relaxing stream of a nearby river could be heard, and birds were chirping cheerfully. After lunch, we all decided upon venturing deeper into the forest near the river. On a rock, a single bright, pastel green caterpillar- equipped with unique spikes, caught our eyes. None of us had ever seen such a creature. We were captivated and intrigued. Since we were not

El Paso, Texas is a relatively large city with a small town attitude. It is one of those cities that grows on you. I embrace the laid back lifestyle and bi-cultural environment - it’s given me an opportunity to develop a unique bicultural identity that influences my motivation to succeed. Especially, being the daughter of an immigrant that upholds Mexican culture. The majority of the population is hispanic, which gave me the sense of mexican traditions that I would share with my family in Mexico. Growing up bilingual ironically provided me comfort in the community. Also, the efforts of the community are being made to modernize and improve the city.

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.
America, Almost every single person on earth has a dream of living in a country full of freedom, liberty, and opportunity. The United States has been providing these benefits ever since it was founded a few hundred years ago. So when I found out that my family would be coming to America, I had already started planning my future of growing up here. Just like any other person, I was feeling enthusiastic and a little nervous of leaving my native country and coming to America to start a better life. I was completely lost in my thoughts of happiness, that I became unaware of all the difficulties that my family and I would face once we step into our new lives. Among these difficulties were the change of language, change of system, and the variety of different cultures.
Eventually, we arrived at the race course. Stepping off of the bus, the exhilaration was uplifting as we looked across the sunrise ...
My walk along Highland Park surrounded by with the water’s quiet flow that moves through the land, separating the two sides that were once connected. The waterfowl escape the heat of the sun by swimming happily with the current and in the process, diving to catch lunch. Trees are scattered all over the grass, soaring high above the ground creating homes for those who live by the sky. The dirt, leaves, bark, and water create the smell best classified as Earth, enriched by the uprooted trees from Mother Nature’s wrath. An old giant lay across the water connecting the two sides once again, similarly to the synthetic bridge conveniently located before the trees begin to hug the road.
Moving from a highly diverse community to a less diverse community has to be the weirdest yet interesting culture shock I ever had to deal with. As a young child, I did not know about the outside world. I thought everyone rides the bus or the metro, graffiti on the wall is normal and traffic wouldn’t matter as much since everything I needed was within walking distance sometimes. There were shocking things I learned once I moved to Nebraska.
