I have always wanted to go to New York and to see the White House. In movies the White House has always looked so cool to me. I have wanted to go to Times Square since I was a little girl. My junior high school, MCS, had class trips for the seventh and eighth grades. I am not sure if they still do them, but in seventh grade we went to Springfield, IL and in eighth grade we went to Washington D.C and New York City. There was a lot of fundraising we had to do in order to get some help with paying for the trip. Most all of us that went rode in Charter busses, but there were a couple kids and parents that flew on a plane. The drive was super long, it was about 13-14 hours long. For the ones that rode on the bus, we had to be at the school …show more content…
We went to either ll or almost all of the war memorials. They had concrete walls that had all the names of the veterans that died at war at the memorials. It was awesome and very sa at the same time. We went to the Arlington National Cemetery and watched them do the switching of the guards. We did go to the White House and got to go inside. They didn’t take us through a lot of the rooms, but they did take us through some. The rooms we got to see were the State Dining Room, the Red, Green, and Blue Rooms, and the East Garden Room. We also got to go to the U.S Capitol building and got to go inside and see the U.S Congress room. It was a huge congress room, it is so much bigger when you see it in person than in movies or on TV. We also got to go to the Lincoln Memorial, and the Washington …show more content…
When we got to New York City one of the guys on the bus started playing the song New York by Alicia Keys over and over again, so now whenever I hear it, it reminds me of our trip. When we got there and got all settled into our hotel, I think the first thing we did was go to ground zero. It was super cool, they had like two huge squares that were deep into the ground and had water in them and the sides had water flowing into the pool things in the middle. Around it they had the names of everyone who died during the 9/11 attack. We went to Times Square and that is where we got our group picture taken. We also went to Chinatown and Central Park to walk around. We took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty but we weren’t able to get off and go in it so we went to Ellis Island instead. We got to see Wicked on Broadway, it was so cool. A lot better than the Fox. We went to the 30 Rockefeller Center and go to see where they film Saturday Night Live, it is a huge building that the studio is in. We also got to go on the Empire State Building. It was so cool because once you got to the top and went outside you could see the whole city. It was also super winding on it though i guess because it is so high up. One night we got to go on a dinner boat ride. New York was super fun, but we only go to stay for a day and a half. New York City and Washington D.C was so fun. I would love to go back to NYC and stay for a longer
“Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?” a quote from Lin Manuel Miranda’s new musical, Hamilton. This quote will continue to be a testament of my work ethic throughout my lifetime, as I work towards my future. The most important thing we can do on this planet is to leave a legacy, something that is worth remembering, whether it may be countless awards, stunning revelations, impactful inventions, or a caring and righteous family to carry on your name.
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.
It was back when I was 14 years old in the 8th grade, when I got an opportunity to take a trip to Washington D.C. to learn, explore, and meet new people in a different state. There was a long way to go, for me to be able to be chosen to go on the trip. This trip was competitive because only 10 students would get to go. I had to do some paperwork to let the assistant principal at my middle school know I’d be participating in competing with other kids at school to go to Washington D.C. I wrote an essay explaining who I was, how would this trip benefit my future, and why did I want to go to Washington D.C. I’d also be in charge of raising $500 on my own and also in the essay I had to explain how would I raise $500 on my own. I was settle to be
It was a cool, June morning, I had my bags packed and ready to go, and just like that I was on the road to Niagara Falls! We started by getting up at five O'clock in the morning.I remember waking up to the smell of french toast, bacon, and eggs. We packed our bags in the truck, then hit the road!
Starting checking the boxes to see if, I understand the Presidential Leadership Roles. It didn’t go as well than I thought, only got one right and the others four wrong. My next move I made a mediocre choice by having a tax cut but that end up not being a great choice to make. On Commemorate day I have decide to go with putting on the chief-of-state hat and engage America in the symbolic acts on bring up a concerning of importuning and meaning of our American flag of this country. Doing the Constitutional Authority drag and drop, I did pretty good beside only getting one wrong by putting Appoint military officers in the Not Granted by Constitution instead of putting it in the Granted by Constitution where it posts to be. Been ask on how I would

It was about two years ago when I arrived in United States of America, and I still remember the day when I left my native country, Honduras. As I recall, one day previous to my departure, I visited my relatives who live in San Pedro Sula. They were all very happy for me to see me except my grandmother Isabel. She looked sad; even though she tried to smile at all times when I was talking to her, I knew that deep inside of her, her heart was broken because of my departure the next morning. I remember that I even told her, “Grandma, do not worry about me, I’ll be fine. I promise that I will write you letters and send you pictures as much as possible.” Here reply was, “I know sweetie I know you will.” Suddenly after she said that I started to cry. For som...
My heart was pounding as I boarded my flight leaving the Bangkok International Airport. A flight attendant in a grey dress with a red bow draped over her shoulder announced; “Welcome aboard flight AA350 to the United States.” My journey began that day.
The freshman class would go to a camp in southern Texas, the sophomore class would go to New Orleans, the Juniors would go to Washington DC, and the seniors would go to Glorieta in New Mexico. Each of the trips would last for a week, and we would come back before spring break. The trips were fun and would help us build teamwork
When I went to New York City I enjoyed it very much, and I recommend it as a place we should visit on our class trip.
The place that I visited was New York City over the summer about three years ago. My mom and I stayed with my aunt who lives in Poughkeepsie, which is about thirty minutes outside of New York City. Poughkeepsie is a small town that you find outside of a big city, it was a small family owned shops that consisted of knick knacks and second-hand stores. My mom and I got in on a late Friday night so we didn 't go out to see the town and instead headed to bed.
It was close to four o’clock in the morning and we were tired. We met up with my dad at the airport and grab us a taxi. As we leave, we drive by a desert that was completely surrounded with sand. Passing through we made it into the city, looking at the flashing lights and buildings that stood tall. It was too early to go out and explore, we needed our rest. As we walk into our hotel, it was like walking into an expensive apartment. With its very own kitchen, washer and dryer, and a patio to top it all
I was able to spend a lot of time with my family, our friends, and play all sorts of games. This experience made me start to like traveling. Every time I would get the chance to travel, I will take that chance. We were able to go to a theme park, eat many delicious foods, and play many video
Paris is one of my dream places because of all the exciting things found there. One of the exciting things I would like to do is to go sightseeing all around the city. The next thing I would like to do is visit the eiffel tower. Lastly, I would like to experience a new culture and try new foods while I’m there. In the end, if I could travel anywhere in the world, I would pick
