A few summers ago, my family and I took a vacation to Niagara Falls, Canada. We had planned this week long vacation for several months in advance. It had been arranged so that we could visit relatives who live in the area.

The morning we were to leave for our trip was very sunny so I woke up a few hours early from the light shining through my window. So, I used this extra time to finish packing my belongings that I had forgotten to pack the night before. We left around 9:30 on a warm, July Monday morning. It was a long trip and when we finally got there we were exhausted. So we decided to just rest and start out early the following morning. We went on the Spanish Aero Car, which is a cable suspended observation vehicle that passes over the whirlpool, about a mile downstream fr...

    When I was in the seventh grade, our class went on a field trip to Cherokee, North Carolina. The trip lasted four days and three nights, but the adventure would last a lifetime. The experience allowed me to learn many things about myself and to reflect on the beauty that was all around me. We departed at six-thirty in the morning, and I was so excited. I had never been away on a school trip for longer than a few hours. I tossed my purple duffel bag into the storage compartment, found my seat by the window, and prepared for what I knew would surely be an unforgettable adventure.

    It was the summer of 2006 in late July after my sixth grade year at Harrold Middle School. My parents surprised my brothers and me by telling us that our family, including my grandparents and aunt’s family, would be traveling to Cook Forest in Clarion, PA. We had been to the beautiful state park of Cook Forest many times before. In previous years, we experienced great weather conditions, great water conditions, and lots of family fun. Our schedule this past year would include tubing for several miles down the Clarion River each day, taking a family hike, going out to dinner at the Farmer’s Inn, and playing goofy golf.

    Normally people are excited for Thursday mainly because it is the gateway to the weekend, but I am most excited that today is my last day for the work week. This weekend, my husband and I are going on our annual camping trip to Yosemite National Park.

I am finally done with all of this work and now I can finally go home. When I arrived at the elevator, I saw two of the biggest idiots in the office, Steve and Tony.

    We visited tourist attractions, shopped with my family around, and ate at random restaurants. For some reason, I never had the courage to tell my parents about the night and I agreed with my cousin to not speak about this. When we said our goodbyes and got on the airplane, I took one last look at the skyline at night. It was a stunning scene. My parents didn’t just make a decision to come to Toronto; they made the best decision for my future. As the airplane moves farther away from the skyline, I could imagine returning to the safe and diverse community I am accustomed

  • my spring break

    758 Words  | 2 Pages

    This was my first spring break in the United States of America. I have never had a spring break in the US before I came to Marymount California University, but I had heard of a movie called spring breakers directed by Harmony Korine that was released in March 15, 2013. I have seen in the movie a lot of people planning to party on their spring breaks. Since I am young I got really excited. I was expecting a crazy spring break with a lot of parties as in the movie, but when I got to the US my ideas changed. I would rather stay at home focusing on school other than partying. The past spring breaks I partied my heart out, went days without sleeping, and spent unnecessary money.

  • the summer of ninth grade

    It was the summer going into 9th grade and my little cousin Gianna had just turned one. The birthday party was Elmo themed and the big red monster was everywhere. It was a beautiful summer day for a back yard party. The tables were set up with red tablecloths and bright colored confetti. Each table also had a blow with a real gold fish it. But the best part about the party was the bounce house set way back in the yard, because no matter how old you are your never to old for a bounce house. But unfortunately I couldn’t go on it with all the little kids, so other then the bounce house it was a pretty boring party. There were tons of screaming kids, half of which I didn’t no. A bunch of old aunts and uncles that sat in their chairs, and the other half of the people I didn’t even know who they where. Therefore I wasn’t having the best time.

These are just a few differences I noticed on our trip to Maui that helped me realize how different places could be.

Playing games and just enjoying our summer. You know, typical boy stuff. Ultimately it ended up being me and this one girl. That's you. As long as we are still on the bus its like we are still at camp. Once we reach the pickup point where our parents would be waiting for us camp will be over.

  • My Winter Holiday

    894 Words  | 2 Pages

    Being able to travel back to Germany during my winter break was going to be the most memorable holiday season of my life. Why? Because every winter break, since we have moved to Texas in 2002, has been spent at home in Killeen, Texas. However, my mother had informed me during the previous summer months that we would be going to Germany for the holidays, as well as, spending it with my aunt, uncle, and grandmother in their homes. Additionally, she had informed me of their plans for them taking us to the Christmas markets, trying food around the local area, and attending the church my mother went to as a child on Christmas Eve. Sadly, around the middle of November, my mother had broken her leg and would not have been able to make a full recovery before the trip. Though my holidays were spent yet again in Texas, I could imagine what my winter break would have been like if I had spent the holidays in Germany.

    Towards the end of 1989, my family and I were on vacation in Fort Myers, Florida. We drove from Trenton, New Jersey all the way to Florida where my grandfather lived. It was a long trip to undergo, especially being six years old and knowing that my father never stopped the car. By the time we arrived at Fort Myers, it was a beautiful sunny day. The wind was gusting enough to pull my hair back, and I was admiring the palm trees, coconuts, and lizards near the Gulf of Mexico. The first few days were nice, but little did I know that I would soon be caught in the middle of a twister.
