They wouldn’t let me go, they didn’t want me to leave but I had to. So I left and went with my dad and haven’t been back since. I still stay in touch with some people from there which is good. I miss them a lot though. I moved thinking Richmond would be horrible, but I actually love it.
Spending cut or tax rising, which one could promise Minnesota a better tomorrow after shutdown? It was a night of deep sorrow not only for the Minnesota governor Mark Dayton, but also for all people in American society including me. On the evening before July 1st , Dylan, my friend called me and brought discouraging news: we had to abort the plan of driving travel to Yellow Stone Park. I put down the phone with shock and disappointment. Yellow Stone Park is always the place that I dream of going to in the U.S. We planned the tour excitedly for the whole semester and Dylan promised me!
The first days of my visit had me Awestruck, but sadden to leave. Robert, my boyfriend came in and woke me up for 10am.We left the house, and as we began to leave; my excitement level rose at the surroundings and scenery on the way down to Key West. I observed there was more bars; then department and grocery stores. On the islands of Key West and Big Pine Key only have one grocery store. We spent most of our day water skiing, and parasailing.
Lisa Lawrence ENC1101-10 Week 3 I almost felt like a teenager sneaking home after being out all night. Instead, I was a Mother of three pretending as I just woke up. “Hey honey, got to leave early today, I have a road test to take.” “Sorry to hear that, how early?” I proceeded to the kitchen where coffee was brewing and Chuck was looking for his yellow and blue coffee mug. “Oh about an hour should leave me plenty of time.” I could care less really, but pretended as I did, assuring the next two hours would be peaceful. I felt guilty because Chuck had no idea I hired a divorce lawyer.
He had since returned from a deployment to Afghanistan and gotten divorced, so we started the summer off with a weeklong hiking trip, reminiscent of the early summers. It was a great bonding time and my dad seemed more lighthearted than he had in years. We talked a lot about my plans for college and I was hopeful that this trip would be a positive experience. We were to spend the rest of the summer in Eagle Mountain where my dad moved with his new wife. I got a job as a lifeguard at the family pool facility on the military base, working everyday trying to save money for school.
I was born at nearly midnight on November 27 1988 in Santo Domingo.From birth to age eleven living in the Dominican Republic was my life. My mother was born in Santo Domingo and my father was born in Ecudore. I remember as a child traveleing back and forth to both places with my family during the summer,I thought life was perfect.It was two weeks before my tweleth birthday when I found out my family and I were moving to the states.I didn’t kno how to feel I was excited,scared and curious at the same time.Once in America as immigrants my parents immediately began to make moves and prepare for our future.My mother wanted the traditional “American lifestyle”.white fenced house,swing on the front yard tree branch,three car garage,the whole nine. My father ended up opening up a restaurant and was a contractor for a pretty sucessful company ,while my mother worked as a seemstress and caregiver. Once settled in,growing up in the States was actually okay for me and almost all fourteen of my siblings.We still celebrated New Years,Mothers Day, Christmas you name it,we went all out
Nicolas Arreola Ms. Uwanawich English 2H Period 6 4 September 2012 The Dropout It was Sunday morning and summer had just begun, my parents decided to make a trip to Ranging Waters that day. The temperature was rising to its peek and I had never wanted to feel the cold wet water splash in my face so badly like today. It was around 9a.m when we left the house and headed to Ranging Waters. The trip was almost an hour but didn’t seem like an hour more like half. Well, once we had arrived there was literally no parking what’s so ever, but we were lucky enough to find a perfect parking and not walk that far.
I fell in love with you the first time we met, and our bond would only grow stronger. Every waking hour I thought about you and was even planning how we could be together the next day. We had several altercations that got me in trouble with the law and put my freedom in jeopardy. Nevertheless, you were always there when I got released and it seemed as though the altercations had never taken place, because you were more than willing to take me back and be there to comfort me. Our relationship was undeniably rocky, but somehow we seemed to stay together.
When I came home, I had a whole pile of homework. I felt as if I missed all seventh, eight, and ninth grade doing all the homework, but in reality it was only a week and a half I missed. Therapy came twice a week, along with all the expensive bills for the surgery, medication, and all eight days I stayed at the hospital. The surgery went well, and better then the doctors expected. After the surgery I thought too my self, “How stupid was I for wanting to life a life like that?” I learned to be happy with what I have, and not want more because there are people out there who have nothing.
Easter 2010: An Epic Self Discovery Amy Foote English 121: Composition I Professor Timothy Peoples May 8, 2015 Easter 2010: An Epic Self Discovery I never realized how life altering Easter 2010 would be. I have overcome many things in life, but getting clean and sober was one of the hardest, but most rewarding obstacle. Little did I know that I would embark on a two month journey of self discovery. That one day would be the starting of a two month journey that would change the way I saw myself. I had to look at what I had become over the previous eighteen years, I had to endure the worst pain for two months, and I learned how strong of a person I really was.
