past summer my dream finally came true. I got to travel to England‚ France‚ Switzerland‚ and Germany with Mme. Kelly and five other girls‚ and suddenly the world was at my fingertips. <br> <br>England’s green hills and city life is unforgettable. Kensington‚ Westminster Abby‚ and Piccadelli Circus are just a few parts of London full of historic cathedrals‚ quaint little cafes‚ and amazing shopping places. Harrods‚ where the royal family shops‚ supposedly sales any and everything. My favorite experience

As a cultural experience‚ I took a trip to Chinatown. Both my sister and I were adopted from China‚ and because of that‚ I have not grown up in an environment where I am surrounded by Chinese culture. Despite my parents’ best efforts to provide an awareness of our heritage (which I strongly appreciate)‚ I still feel a large disconnect with my racial identity. I enjoyed going to all the little shops‚ eating Chinese food‚ and practicing my Chinese by reading any label‚ sign‚ or store name I saw. I

My trip to Quebec When I was in high school the only thing that mattered to me was singing. I grew up in a family that sang in churches‚ all over the east coast. I found that music was something that I could do that made me happy. My mother sacrificed so that I would be able to get voice lessons and for that I will forever be grateful. So‚ when I had the opportunity to audition for a musical or choir It was always fun to watch the director’s faces‚ because I was little but I had a lot of power

always been very strong-minded and independent on my own‚ my weakness was the boy I fell in love with. For I was a girl‚ track athlete at that‚ who received multiple offers to schools around the nation. My dreams were to go to Florida State University and run collegiate track at that school; but oh how my plans were changed when I arrived at HBU for an official track recruiting visit. As I laid eyes upon the school‚ already having thoughts of no return‚ my weary eyes swept across campus and fell upon

In the faint light of the attic‚ an old man‚ tall and stooped‚ bent his great frame and made his way to a stack of boxes that sat near one of the little half-windows. Brushing aside a wisp of cobwebs‚ he tilted the top box toward the light and began to carefully lift out one old photograph album after another. Eyes once bright but now dim searched longingly for the source that had drawn him here. It began with the fond recollection of the love of his life‚ long gone‚ and somewhere in these albums

The very first thing I smelt when I walked out of the meager airport was diesel. It was my first time out of the country and I didn’t know what I was going to expect. Was it everything people told me it was going to be? Was it depressing? Scary? Heart wrenching? Why yes‚ yes it was. However‚ it was an experience I will never forget. When I got to Ecuador‚ I didn’t know what I was going to expect. I walked onto this huge yellow bus that was going to take me to the humongous hotel where I would be

And back home for the evening...... the weekend. I was so excited. It was our first camping trip since last season. We go to Pueblo‚ Colorado‚ every other weekend. From the beginning of August till the end of September. We arrived around 10 o’clock Friday night. Everyone went to bed‚ so that we were well rested for the following day. We wake up

Books are our never failing friends. Our worldly friends desert us but they never desert us. They are our best friends‚ philosophers and guides. Friends are plenty when the purse is full but fair-weather friends fall off in adversity. Books‚ like a true friend stand by us through thick and thin. They uphold and encourage us when we feel sad and despondent. They lift the poor out of poverty and the wretched out of misery. They make the burden bearer forget his burden‚ the sick his sufferings and
