My Summer Vacation

The summer vacation of a young kids lifetime! In the summer of 2000 I was just turning 6 years old and for my birthday my parents wanted to take me somewhere that I would always remember for my birthday. I had no clue on what there intentions where or what to even expect from them. My mother invited just about all of my close relatives and friends to come over and help celebrate with us. Majority of everybody that came over brought food, gifts and lots of money. I was the happiest kid in the world! Everybody that came over spent the night for the trip that my parents where going to take us on the following day.

The following morning my parents woke everybody up at 5 o’clock in the morning to get situated and ready to hit the road. They had everything planed out from the time that we was going to leave to how many pit stops that we where going to take. But yet each and every time I asked them where are we going they would never answer me. Anxious to know I was, so I started thinking of all the possibilities of the places that we could be going. From how early I woke up and all of the thinking I was doing I started to get drowsy. After leaving the house at 5 o’clock a.m. we finally arrived at our destination around 10a.m.. I woke up from a lot of screaming and yelling I had absolutely no clue on what was going on at the time. As my dad was trying to find a parking spot I started to look out the window in search of any clues that could help me figure out where exactly we where. Once we pasted the entrance my eyes blew up when I saw the words Wild Adventures. After seeing all the of the commercials with the amazing animals, rides, concerts, toys, and food this was the place that I would give the world to go to and to have it come true meant the so much. When asked by my parents how do you like your birthday present I was at a lost of words all I could do I smile!

    How can someone be claimed as insane? In the case of Andrea Yates, she was found not guilty by reasons of insanity. Clearly Andrea Yates was insane because of what she did. Andrea Yates murdered her five children. Andrea Yates has thought about killing her children for quite a while before she really did kill her children. Her husband Rusty Yates knew about his wife trying to kill their children and caught Andrea before she did it the first time. Andrea Yates attempted to kill her kids before and she didn’t kill them in earlier attempts because she didn’t think she was ready. I believe that Andrea Yates was insane because she has pre-planned killing her kids before and she finally did it.…

    In the world of politics, one of the most important things is who you know. Knowing people will bring a politician success. Chris Matthew stressed one-on-one communication and “retail politics” in this first chapter of his book. He knows firsthand because he was in Washington for many years observing and learning. Not only is it necessary to know as many people as possible, but it is also important to make the person feel that their concerns are cared for on a personal level. Knowing people is not only important in the political world, but it is also important in the real world. The more people you know, the more opportunities will arise for you. In the book Chris Matthew talks about how many popular politicians rose to the top because they made the effort to get to know everyone, especially those who are important. This can apply to any work environment. Networking is a very important part of life. It is important for all of us to remember to treat each person with care because they will potentially be important in our lives.…

    We drove down in separate cars from Kentucky enduring about thirteen long hours of “fun” with my immediate family. We finally arrive in animal kingdom where we are staying in one of the Disney hotels. We get to our room and get settled in when I look out on the balcony and see giraffes, and antelopes, and peacocks walking around in my back yard. It was one of my favorite parts of this trip. We then go out to wait for the bus to take us to our first kingdom, epcot. I remember immediately being here as a child and know exactly what I want to go and do and see. Now being seventeen, I take one of my cousins and we go off on our own to see what we want to experience. We go to the science museum and learn about space and evolution which has through my high school years been very beneficial to me. Having fun and learning at the same time was great. I spend the entire next day going around to all the rides and enjoying them at least two times each. I couldn’t believe how much fun I was having. After that I went to the stores and got all the things I wanted to take back home to remember this trip…

    After my first week of the Summer Bridge Program at Penn St-Abington, I learned a lot about the differences between high school and college. I really understand in high school that you must be there during the allotted hours, success rides on the teacher, and that we can get away from not reading the text for class and in college you have more freedom, harder courses, and longer hours of studying. We learned how to become an efficient and effective learner. What I learned from that lesson is that, I have to focus much more and study much harder then what I did in high school. Also that college is no joke since it’s a privilege and that high school is a right that we have to go. To me the most effective strategy I learned is how to become a better listener and how to be a successful student in college. The way I’m going to be a better listener is by using study strategies, note taking strategies and go to a tutoring center if I have trouble. What I learned so far relates to the present is that some strategies I never used or thought about. In the future, I’m going to use tutoring center or use the professor’s office time for any question I don’t understand. In conclusion, I learned so far is going to change the way I look at college. I understand now that college is no place to mess around. It’s a place where you chose what you want to do in the long…

    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.…

    When I was younger I went with my best friend Macy to Universal Studios in Orlando Florida. I had already been down in Florida when we met up. I got there around two days before her and I was visiting my grandparents and going to Walt Disney World for Fourth of July. Sadly, we were only going to Universal Studios for one day. When we arrived at the park we were so excited. We jumped on as many rides with small lines as we could since we got there early. Our first ride was on Harry Potter, and it was the worst one. They shoved you onto the ride since it was moving. There wasn't enough room for the ride with our parents for both of us. They tried to put me onto it but I wasn't leaving her. So they got irritated but I didn't care. In the end of…

    Do you remember that feeling you'd get on the last day of school? Remember how excited you'd be to finally get to do those summer things like ride bikes with your friends, stay up all night planning pranks, and chasing down the ice cream man after dinner? These are just a few of my favorite memories from those long summer days. Now picture this. It's a beautiful July day, perfect to spend a few lazy hours by the pool, but instead you'll be in school. Okay, sure you could come home and relax in the sun or take a walk with the kids next door. Think again, you'll have homework to do and tests to study for. But when will you have time to be a kid? That's what I'm questioning.…
