Description of a Trip to the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey When deciding on a place for my science trip, I knew the perfect place would be the Liberty Science Center, located in Jersey City, New Jersey.

I deal with missing the family and friends I left behind along with learning how to cope with humidity in the summer, below freezing winters, and pollen filled springs. New Jersey is culturally different to me as well, and even after eight years, I am still struggling with figuring where I fit in as a Jersey Girl. I never doubted moving to New Jersey would result in me missing being around the family and
Patience Wright. It is the small, yet important figures, including women that contributed to America’s victory in the Revolutionary War that we often overlook.

I knew I was in Camden, New Jersey, when I saw the cracked cement of roads that had been left uncared for. The van grumbled as it stumbled over many scattered bumps and ridges along the light faded road, shaking us in our seats. I knew I had entered when the buildings began to press up against each other, no yard space, and their roofs would start to crumble.

The people of New Jersey need to be made aware
Family means appreciation to me because me and my mom during February break went to New Jersey and on the way there we went through New York City. I told her that I would love to go to NYC on our way back through to my favorite state, Maine. Then we got to out of the tunnel under water in New Jersey and were getting on the New Jersey Pike. In the tunnel I asked her, " what if we saw the Statue of Liberty?" She then said, "get the camera ready just in case."
