was growing up, and my friends and I would always walk to Front Street, just hang out and get into trouble. This is a place full of excitement and extremely special to me. First, I cross the street so I can go see the Banyan Tree, which is rumored to be the biggest and oldest banyan tree in the world. It has an enormous trunk that covers a very large space, not to mention its gigantic branches that spread enough to cover nearly half a block. This very tree is what Lahaina is known for and what makes

Disney World is famous for its exhilarating rides, fairy-tale performances, and the adolescent environment that can make you disregard the element that you are an adult. However, Disney World is also recognized for its beautiful, unique architect. From Magic Kingdom’s most well known icon the Cinderella Castle, to another famous emblem of Epcot’s, which is an eighteen-story golf ball-like geodesic sphere. Although those icons are beautiful and legendary I feel that people tend to forget the magnificent
When we were kids, we all had that one person we looked up to. Whether it was a princess, a celebrity, a fictional superhero, or a family member, we gave this person the title “hero.” We selected these people to be our heroes because they had specific qualities like bravery, strength, and intelligence, but not all heroes are required to have these qualities. A hero is someone who, based on perspective, can be found almost anywhere because they make sacrifices and do actions for the better of others

Jordan Cohen May 15th, 2014 D Track Lopez Intro Paragraph: From 1914-1918, World War 1 was a war centered in Europe. Herman Hesse was a German-born writer who lived from 1877-1962. Hesse’s Siddhartha, arguably his most famous and most well written c book, was published just a few years after the conclusion of the War in 1922. Although there is such a large disparity between the peace of Siddhartha and the evil that stems from the War, Hesse uses one to teach us about the other, and visa-versa.
As I got off my 14 hour flight, I felt an immediate heat wave hit me. When I was walking into the airport, I looked up to see a sign that read “Aloha, Welcome to Hawaii”. A kind polynesian gentlemen greeted me and wrapped a lei around my neck. The drive to the hotel was incredibly scenic. The air tasted so fresh and clean.
