Graduation Trip
Graduation Trip Trip I am never going to forget and a great graduation gift, I am thankful for. Four years at an all male, private school well known in El Paso, Texas. Every day wearing uniforms ever since I was in elementary all the way to senior year in High school. Twice a month white button up shirts with a tie was mandatory due to the uniform I was tired of wearing the uniforms and needed a great trip. The class of 2008 planned a trip to Cancun, Mexico for ten days as a graduation party, which is important if you went because was the last time all of the class was going to be together. It was optional to attend the trip, those students who did not want to go didn’t have to. Once you step in Mexico everyone is on there own, your parents are not going to be there with you everything that happens, you are responsible for. Graduation dance ended, that weekend I was off to Cancun, Mexico for ten days. The trip was paid in advance and I wasn’t going to spend a cent once I was over there. Everything was included such as hotel transportation, food, drink, cover to the clubs, and boat rides. Forty-eight students were going to attend the trip. The class was separated in half , so that the first half would leave in the morning and second half in the afternoon. The plane would leave from Juarez, Chihuahua to Mexico City, Then from Mexico City to Cancun, Mexico. Arriving at Juarez airport I had to do a lot of paper work since I am American and I’m leaving to another country. As I heard the speaker in the airport , that the airplane was now aboarding section “A” I got up with my backpack same as all of my classmates, and we started running like little kids down the tunnel and towards the plane. Once everyone was seated in the airplane and ready to takeoff, the flight attendant starts giving the safety procedures, Knowing how immature us high school graduates are, we started to scream and disturb everyone in the flight. After five minutes non-stop of

    I know I’m very excited about it. As I’m getting my cap ready, decorating it and making plans with my friends; I’m reminded by my grandfather who, the day after his graduation, went to Vietnam, that not everyone gets this celebration. He didn’t get a graduation party; he didn’t get a bonfire with his friends. He walked off his graduation stage onto a plane headed for war. And how lucky are we that he did. That he and 2.5 million others did. These people didn’t get parties. They instead got flying bullets and little support from home. So please, in this time of joy for those of you graduating or celebrating a family member or friend’s graduation, do not forget of the Americans who, instead of celebrating, died on the battlefield. And instead of celebrating today as a day to barbeque and drink, remember that today, is a day of…

    I woke up tired on a beautiful, sunny, Tuesday morning. It was the day I had to fly to San Francisco for my job on a cruise ship. I had been in between cruises, so I had taken the chance to come see my parents in Newark, New Jersey. Later I realized that it could have cost me dearly. I changed into my pressed, white, long sleeved shirt with khaki pants and my sailors hat that I had to wear for my job as a deckhand. I arrive at Newark Liberty International Airport a hour before my flight, where I hug my parents goodbye. I walk in and go through security easily and go to my gate and wait for thirty minutes until we would be able to board.…

    During WW2 the presence of men at home was to a bare minimum. The impact this had on women was felt throughout the nation. How women would be looked at would be changed forever. They had to uphold various positions that were usually held by men and reevaluate their roles as homemakers. Their lives at home had changed; they were no longer the primary care giver. They also joined different parts of the military. Due to men being away at war during WW2 women were forced to participate in the workforce, which would change their view of their position in society.…

    When I was young I always dreamed of flying on a plane. Finally, my dream was coming true, and I was on my way to the USA where I had always known I would end up. This was my first trip on an airplane, and it was also one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I remember everything about my first flight, and it was a lot to remember since it took twenty-seven hours from start to finish. The fight did have one stop in Japan, but that was just to change planes. Once my parents and I got onto the plane and sat down, I started to look at everything around me. I noticed the small white air vents right above my head with little lights next to the vent. It was so great because the controls were right on my armrest. There was a place on the armrest to plug the headphones in in order to listen to music or watch a movie. After everyone got settled into their seats, the airhostess came over the intercom and explained all of the safety procedures. But I am going to tell you; I couldn’t understand what they say, besides staring at their body language. They also showed everyone how to put the seat belts on correctly. After the airhostess was done with…

    On the 28th June 1919, Germany resentfully signed the most famous treaty ever, Versailles. Although years of readjusting the treaty followed, this essay will focus mainly on the strengths and weaknesses of the 440 articles in 1919. The Treaty followed a massive war, with huge human sacrifice. It was supposed to be the Treaty to end all wars and give security to the countries involved. The overwhelming task that laid ahead for Woodrow Wilson (America), Lloyd George (Great Britain), Clemenceau (France) and Orlando (Italy) was on a bigger scale than any previous delegates had had to deal with.…

    When I got off of the plane, the immense heat wave hit me with surprise, and almost took me down. The humidity was sticking to my skin and the lights were white, like clouds floating on the ceiling. As I recuperated after those blinding lights came the most boring part of the trip, waiting on our luggage. As we were waiting everyone was leaving and we only had 1 bag left. We were getting a little nervous when we saw everyone leave and we were the only ones with another 8 people, so we went to complain to the airline person. We asked her if she knew where our bag was. She turned to us with a disgusted look and said, “ yes sir your bag is on another plane coming towards El Salvador.” As my family and I exchanged looks we were displeased with…

    I was lucky enough to be able to fly out to New York City, and experience things kids my age generally are not able to experience. It was amazing! Although we only stayed for a couple days, we were able to do much with the time we had. My family and I reached the top of the Empire State Building, walked about central parked, ate pizza, and much more. The hotel was beautiful, but we stayed in a tight room which my four family members and I could hardly fit in.…
