My mother and father had some news; another baby is on the way. Hearing that you’re going to be a bigger sister, I was quite scared that mother and father would not love me much anymore. Telling them how I felt, I thought would get me into trouble and make them very upset. So, I acted happy for them. All they would talk about was the baby.…
It was Tuesday, March first, 2011, my mother woke me up so I can start getting ready for school. I rose with eager anticipation, just four more days until my thirteenth birthday and I just couldn’t wait. I brushed my teeth and hurried down to eat the complimentary breakfast offered to us by the hotel we were staying at. You see we had been staying at a hotel for the past five months because the home we had been renting was foreclosed on so the utility companies turned off the power and the electricity. We had to get down at just the right time so that there was a small crowd but a lot of food so that we can take food back to the room to save for dinner. After breakfast, we…
One of the most memorable moments I have experienced was four years ago, when I traveled from Matamoros, Tamaulipas to San Antonio, Texas. I had the opportunity of visiting San Antonio for the first time, and more importantly, of spending time with my family who I had not seen in years prior to the trip. Spending time with my family is of great value and importance to me, so I became utterly excited to see them as soon as I had the chance.…
Some of my greatest memories are of cooking in the kitchen with loved ones. Having a hand in creating the perfect pie crust (even when burnt), to flour fights and all the laughter that goes along with those special moments in time. Cooking with my grandmother and mother gave me wondrously happy memories. These matriarchs have taught me a great many things, but the most important was the joy of creating great memories, filled with an abundance of joy, love, and food.…

We went to the hospital I was then finally able to say “I’m a big sister.” I was so unbelievably excited, all I wanted to do was go in there. We got to finally go in the hospital room and finally get to see my new baby sister! We went into there and the second I laid eyes on her I was automatically filled with happiness. My mom held her, then my dad, then it was my…
The best part of the day had arrived, dinner. We had a reservation at the pier in which we were going to eat dinner. We looked like a whole bunch of bees ready to attack. The food was there. Right in front of our noses. We could feel the presence of the warmth coming from the food. The smell was just making our mouths water and our tummies rumble. We looked at each other with such eagerness to have some of those explicit desserts in our mouths. There we were, with our food served and ready to attack. I knew that when I was done with this food there was no longer going to be any space for the dessert. Overall the food was amazing and the experience as well.…
The relationships I made will forever hold an important place in my heart. I am grateful that my family was able to provide this experience for me and my siblings. Everyone had an awesome time and we still talk about the memories and look forward to going back. We are currently in the process of booking a vacation for over Christmas this year, with the destination to be determined. I am excited that my family gets to do these special events together because it makes you realize how important family is and the special bond you create over different memories. Family vacations let you take a break from work or school, or just your everyday life and get to enjoy the moments with your family. These memories will last a lifetime and will be passed on from generation to generation. We will continue to do this tradition and let it live…
One weekend we both went to go visit our dad. It is not much to do where he lives because it is a rural area with nothing but land. We were bored with nothing to do on this particular day so we went to a racing track for four wheelers and dirt bikes. We went with our step-brother who enjoyed riding them. This had seemed to remove the boredom away from our day.…
Last summer I went on a cruise to the Bahamas and this has been a very good memory that will stick in my mind for as long as I live. I had such a great time and I wish I can go back again and have an adventure of a lifetime and make more memories with my family and friends.…
Some of my Experiences with photography are capturing memories of my family. When I capture a picture of my son I always think I want this for him when he grows up so that he can have them to share with his family one day. I also enjoy capturing peaceful surroundings to reinitiate the feeling I had when standing there in the moment. Photography has allowed me to share my memories with the people in my life; it has also allowed me to share theirs. It brings family and friends closer.…
After 7 ½ hours of school and hard work, I had finally earned the treat of my good grades - The Olive Garden. I had worked super hard in every class and had wanted the olive garden since the week had started I was sitting in my house watching the rain drop in pools right outside my window. My head was drenched from the 5rain and my black hair was falling down my pale but happy face as i waited for my mom to get home. Suddenly I heard my white old squeaky garage opened and from the rain emerged my mom in her silver ford escort car. My face couldn't help but smile as she came in the door to the house with her drenched hair and face. ‘’ Hey mom!’’ I said happy as she entered the door. The look on her face was like she had been mad, and befores…
