A Trip to Mexico (rough draft) It was December 2010 and my family and I were planning to go on a trip to Mexico in December for Christmas break because me and my siblings were out of school.

We left Houston around 8pm‚ and my uncle drove the Nissan Frontier truck and we went straight to 59 south towards Victoria. When we got Laredo around 12 am‚ we took a break

This mission trip took place during the beginning of the summer after my sophmore year in high school. My church youth

21st January 2010 Art Trip To The National Gallery This year’s Art trip was really not that inspirational to me‚ as it was rushed and we only had about 2 hours and 15 minutes in the National Gallery‚ which was not enough time to explore the gallery or to find our favourite piece of Art.

The moment we walked in the National Gallery‚ she started looking for

I was on my way to church with a few of my best friends‚ a typical Wednesday for me‚ at least‚ that’s what I thought. As I was laughing at a joke someone had made‚ my youth minister called. He asked if I would like to go on a mission trip to New Orleans this summer. Just like any other teenager‚ I jumped at the chance to go somewhere new‚ especially New Orleans. Therefore‚ I told my youth minister that I would love to go and to let me know the dates so I could take a week or so off work. I was so

One day me and a couple of friends were on a road trip to Maryland to go see our brothers basketball game. We rode in my friends new car to see if it was a good running car.
