Journey Is a Person in Itself
Journey Is a Person in Itself If I was just lucky enough to somehow stumble upon a one-hundred million dollars fortune, it wouldn't take me long to figure out what I'm going to be doing for the next chapter of my life. I would first grab my The North Face backpack, pack it with what appears to be enough for a week long camping trip and hop on the first 1st class out of the country. Just to get my travelling legs back, I believe I would first travel to Europe again to revisit some of my favorite spots around this very diverse land. A very big confusion I believe people might have is how I will be travelling and how I might chose to lodge myself while I'm out and about. I would not choose to stay in fancy five star hotels that have spas and room service for my rich ass to enjoy. Instead I would stay in the best hostels, where I would have a better opportunity for meeting other travelers from around the world. The first country I would visit again would be Holland - I don’t mean just Amsterdam filled with its lovely coffeeshops and prostitutes. Now I'm not going to lie to you, I would spend my first week or so in the Vegas of Europe just so I could do some celebrate my how lucky I've become. Now after I got done painting a town known for its redness even redder, I would take my time to travel this wonderful country. Holland is a country filled with some of the happiest and most genuine nicest people in the world. I am able to say this because I was able to stay with a family in Dordrecht, a town south of Amsterdam, for ten days and got a taste of what being Dutch really meant. For days we would drink Heineken, talk about how wonderful life is, just like we did the first time. Then for dinner Lilia would make her very delicious Dutch meatballs; I would have her show me the recipe and any other Dutch trick that goes with the traditional dishes in Holland. This would be the beginning of my true educational purpose for travelling. If I haven't mention before I love

    As with almost all "Christian" holidays, Easter has a secular side as well. The dichotomous nature of Easter and its symbols, however, is not necessarily a modern fabrication. Easter has always had its non-religious side. In fact, Easter was originally a pagan festival. It was co-opted by Christian missionaries starting in the second century CE. Easter must be celebrated on a Sunday between the dates of March 22 and April 25.…

    Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad/Roughing It

    Firstly, I would treasure visiting England because I would travel to London, the capital of England and is considered to be one of the most sophisticated places in the world. Another cousin of mine got to study abroad there and has “mastered the art” of observing the whole city in two days! I would also love to tour the Beatles museums and walk down Abbey Road because their music is as beautiful as one’s childhood. Secondly, I would want to journey England on my European adventure is because I would travel to the primary beach town in England, Brighton. Brighton would be an incredible place to go because not only do they have a beach, but they have charming shops and restaurants that are widely known all throughout England. The final place I would visit in England while on my Europe trip is the city of Oxford. This city would be so pleasant to go to because of their college, Oxford University, which is one of my dream colleges. C.S. Lewis’ house is also present where you can explore the house and examine where he wrote his most widespread series, Narnia. As a result, my respect for England and my yearning to go there brings me back to my desire to travel through…

    Journey Essay

    “To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.” In other words a journey and the experiences you have are better than the actual destination. The novel “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain and the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost have taught me that journeys may involves barriers and hardships, they can lead to significant personal change and more importantly journeys facilitate reflection about how you see yourself, others and the world. Journeys are very important in personal change and growth. They can also help us in comparing and contrasting new and old experiences.…

    Personal Journey

    What is the real purpose of living, if you are unwilling to take any uncalculated risks? These “risks” can range from something as simple as sampling a new food, or something as bold as skydiving. Some people are natural risk takers; they live without fear and have no reservations when it comes to failure. Personally, I have never been much of risk-taker. In fact, I have lived a majority of my life in a very planned, deliberate and some may even say a very boring manner. Now that I am bit older I find myself at one of life’s critical crossing points. The question now is if I am going to stay firmly planted in my seat or use my parachute.…

    journeys are learning experiences

    Journeys are defined as the act of travelling from one place or state to another, they can either be physical, imaginative or inner. Through the study of various texts, audiences are exposed to a number of journeys. They teach us that there is always knowledge to gain from a journey. The individual embarking on the journey encounters many challenges and is open to new experiences, which allow them to learn and achieve a better sense of self. Ursula Le Guin’s novel, A Wizard of Earthsea (Earthsea), as well as Rain Man, a 1988 film directed by Barry Levinson, explores this idea about journeys being educating experiences. They both include protagonists who undertake a journey and along the way gather a greater knowledge of themselves and the world.…

    My Journey: Being A Person For Others

    Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, Magis, and Persons for Others - these are the common phrases expressed and uttered along the halls of Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan. I am touched by the meaning of these values and practices since I am sort of new to this kind of environment. Now I know why this institution is prestigious and is being looked up by other people – it’s because of the values they teach coupled with the quality education they offer. Going to Xavier University is an experience I will never ever forget; it’s not about the name that the school carries; it’s not about how seemingly glamorous you are when you walk down the streets wearing the school uniform; it’s not about being classy and smart all at the same time, it’s because here, they focus more on shaping you on to becoming the best of you, in service for others, the country and for God. In this school, I became a person for others.…
