When I was younger I spent my summers up North in a little town where my family had a cottage just a few blocks away from lake Michigan. I do not remember a summer that we didn't go up North. The town has perfect beaches, the best hikes, and the cutest stores. When my parents told my brothers and I that they had decided to sell the cottage I could not believe it. When they told us that in two weeks we were going up north for the last time to clean the cottage up and to meet with a realtor I was even more upset. “Why? I don’t understand,” I asked my mom. “Because you and your brothers are getting older and we just don’t have the time to maintain it anymore, so we thought this was a good time to sell it. Anyways wouldn’t it be nice to go somewhere else on vacation for a change?” my mom explained. …show more content…
I kept thinking about how it was the last time we would take the five hour drive up to the cottage. Usually I was excited on the drive, thinking about the great summer we were going to have, that might of been the first time I was sad going up North. When we got there it was harder not to think about how we would be spending our last weekend up North packing boxes. I was dreading packing up boxes, but I hate to admit, packing the boxes up was a little bit fun because I found things I had forgotten or lost and it reminded me of all the good times we had over the
It was a polluted, blazing hot morning and I felt like I had just been working out for the whole night. As I got ready to go to school, putting on my pollution mask, and taking my bike out, I was concerned not about the teachers and getting lost, but about fitting in. This wasn’t perfect Canada anymore, this was chaos filled, contaminated, messed up China! Everyone was so different from the people in Canada, they spoke quite rudely, they wore shaggy cloth, and their shelter was very traditional compared to the ‘modern style houses’ in Canada. You could say that my school was a giant playground with a playground mansion and an additional indoor playground. As I entered the humid environment of the Mansion, strange figures zoomed around
I’ll never forget the time i moved to Maine. We drove a whopping 22 hours to get there. We came from virginia and traveled over the course of a day. My mom was very tired and was awake on coffee and energy drinks. That made me feel bad because i wasn't sixteen so i couldn't help. We stopped at some places along the way and saw mountains and beautiful
I have attached the list of students currently registered for the Music Open House, we have five. We need to get confirmation letters out to these students ASAP. Do you want to send those from your department or would you like us to take care of that? Another possibility would be for you to draft a letter, and we could take care of sending it out along with a campus map.
When I was nine years old, my parents, two siblings, and uncle decided that it was time for us to move from Missouri up to chilly Massachusetts. Both my uncle and father were construction workers. There were so many projects in Massachusetts, it was sensible for us to move. Financially, this was also the solution to our money problems. All around we were all very excited for this move, all except for myself.
Please attach a 1-2 page response to the following questions (with detail and concrete examples). 1) How has the Office of State Grants impacted your experience at Ithaca College? Office of State Grants provided me with the opportunity to learn from my peers and open my horizon. I recently got the opportunity to serve as a Medical intern in Sri Lanka, which helped me learn and experience the future profession that I am interested in. This experience allowed to practice what I have learned in my classes in a deeper sense.
Recently I took a trip to Nashville, and YES it was so much fun, I learned a lot about my business, met some of my AWESOME business partners, but most of all I got back my Country Roots !
Yesterday when I drove down Bridge Street in Carleton Place I saw a woman sitting on a bench in front Of capital Optical staring at Ballygiblins across the street. It was 11 am in the morning and I knew she had been a regular as I had talked to her the night the restaurant closed.
As the Frost Festival finally drew to a close, the excitement of the frost fae, both royal and non-royal, began to wane as the festivities and parties died down, and the frosty multicolored flags of the various frost fae Clans were taken down and folded neatly for storage until the next Festival. I’d been working as a Frost Guardian for over twelve hours protecting the princess of the Snowflake clan, and, even though I thought that I was going to be beyond exhausted and more than ready for bed, I still felt strangely wide awake and even a little buzzed with adrenaline, like I’d gotten energy from the remnants of the festivities that had happened around me and the fact that I was finally training in the real world as a Guardian.
I still remember that frigid day in December when we disembarked from the plane I will never forget that day. That day I felt very strange in the airport. There were so many people with different faces, skin color, hair, clothes, and languages. I met an immigration officer. He turned to me and said, "Welcome to Canada." I replied, "Thank you." I was very pleased to hear these words, and he asked how do you feel, I replied, I'm happy and lucky." At that time my feelings were mixed. He understood my feelings. On my first day in Canada, I had many experiences. Why Canada? Canada is one of the peaceful countries in the world. It’s a land of immigrants where it has unique culture and diversity which can be found throughout the country. We respect
Few days after my 8th birthday, my family and I left our home in India and began a new life in Canada. It was not long before, I became aware of how different I was from the other children at school. Not just aesthetically but even our thoughts were different. Steadily, I became isolated and lowered my self-esteemed. At recess one day, the clear skies suddenly changed in the dark clouds with chilling wind. I was shivering in the cold, when one of girls from my class wrapped me inside of her jacket. She was smiling and at me and hugged me and said, “warm”. Soon other kids hugged us and we formed a small huddle. Although they did not know me, they understood the gestures of hugging to provide warmth. Jessica, the girl with the jacket, and
British Columbia, Canada — is where the small family of three would be spending their two week vacation. The trip had not been planned too thoroughly, and in fact the location was picked strictly because Charlie had decided to throw a dart into the map. It was easier than trying to pick a specific place and Charlie didn't particularly care where he ended up, so long as he was with his family. After everything that had happened in the past year, Charlie felt that he, Sloan and their son deserved time away from the chaos in Boston. It would be great to do something as a family, and Canada would be the perfect place to relax.
The only foreign country I have even been to is Canada. And sure, Canada is great. I love Canada. Without Canada we would not have Canadian bacon, maple syrup, or teen pop sensation Justin Bieber, but it is not much different from America. I honestly would not have known I was in another country if it were not for the Canadian flags hanging outside of people’s houses where the American flags usually go. Of course it is an exciting experience to cross an invisible boundary to another part of the world, but the excitement is equal to that which I have jumping from North Carolina to South Carolina when visiting Carowinds, or driving past the big green “Welcome to Virginia” sign on the highway. The Earth is full of interesting, and exciting people, and places that I could learn a multitude of new information from. I know that there is a whole world of culture and perspective that I am missing out on. If I were to take a semester of study abroad as a part of the International Honors Program at Lloyd International Honors College I would learn more about who I am as a person and what I want to do with my life, and be inspired to learn more and push myself to better schoolwork and success at UNCG.
The break I have done lot of things. One of the things that i have done on the break was play fortnight. I also went to spencer's house and pe played games. We also went to a movie.
During 5th grade year of 2016, almost once every week my parents would go and look for a house. I would remind them everyday that the house we have is great and there is no need to find another. In that house I have lived there at least eight years, which is most of my life so far. Till this day it has always been my favorite house, and the perfect house. I have made so many memories there it is impossible to count. I loved it.
