I was afraid of heights, so at one time I told my parents that I was too scare to do it, but I had no choice because the tickets was already bought. On the day of the flight my family woke up at 6:00am and we were out the door at 7:00am. We have already packed 3 days ahead of times so that I knew I wasn’t missing anything as we head to Tan Son Nhat International Airport, located seven kilometers (4.3 miles) to the center of Ho Chi Minh City, and is the largest airport in the country. The ride that I had to get there has to be the longest ride I have been on. When I was on the car ride to the Airport it felt like time had slowed down and it was torturing me for how long it took to get there.
Puerto Rican American When I was thirteen years of age, my family and I boarded on a plane heading towards New York City. I was extremely upset about the move because I loved my school and was going to miss our house, and all of my friends in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. My mother seemed excited for my father’s interview and possible new job in the service industry at a restaurant that he got from his brother in law. My mother was also ecstatic to possibly start a career as well because she also said New York City is the city where dreams come true. My parents told me I had cousins in New York City and we were going to move in with them in Brooklyn.
The day before we left, my best-friend came and spent the night. I would never forget this day because at the time we had to wake up really early to catch a bus to another city to board a plane. That night, my best friend spent the night with me. We spent the whole night reminiscing all the good time we had. We had been friends practically all our lives.
Why, a friend of mine went over this new liner last week – the titanic – she sails next week – forty-six thousand eight hundred tons – new york in five days – and every luxury – and unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable. That's what you've got to keep your eye on, facts like that, progress like that – and not a few german officers taking nonsense and a few scaremongers here making a fuss about nothing. Now you three young people, just listen to this – and remember what I’m telling you now. In twenty or thirty year's time – let's say, in 1940 – you may be giving a little party like this – your son or daughter might be getting engaged – and I tell you, by that time you'll be living in a world that'll have forgotten all these capital versus labour agitations and all these silly little war scares. There'll be peace and prosperity and rapid progress everywhere – except of course in russia, which will always be behindhand

As I pull in to the Sea World Renaissance my body fills with excitement. It is almost June eighteenth! While my parents check us into the hotel, my sisters and I whiz around the hotel exploring like there is no tomorrow. My parents, nurturing and loving, keep nagging me “you need to get some rest, tomorrow is your big day.” I always hate to admit it when they are right, but tomorrow is my big day and I am exhausted. After a long day I climb into my king sized bed in the prodigious suite of the grand hotel.
Joining the navy on July 27, 2007 was one of the happiest days ever, I wanted to be travel the world and see different places, places I’ve never seen. Be able to shop and have things that no one else would have. I graduated from boot camp and was sent to the newest aircraft carrier in the fleet the USS George H.W Bush. On January 12, 2010 we got devastating news that and earthquake had just hit Haiti. At the time the ship wasn’t going out to sea so they were able to send volunteers to help the victims of the earthquake, so I decided to volunteer.
The next day the movers finished packing all of our stuff from our two story house in Pinson, Alabama. We hopped on a plane and flew all the way to Texas. I remember being sad that I left my whole family and friends that had been there with me my whole life. It didn’t help that we moved about two weeks before school started and I was very nervous about attending a school where I knew no one. It didn’t help that I had a very thick accent compared to most of the people in
