Bahamas Field Trip

Moving to an unfamiliar country during my teenage years is a big dramatic change for me. I dealt with a lot of anxiety and insecurities on how different I am from everyone else. To help me get started, I registered with just one class at my local community college. Living with my mother and to someone, I now call my father, I was

It was the last semester of eighth-grade year when Trinity Christian School had officially decided where my classmates and I should go for the end of the year mission trip. The whole eighth-grade class had been anticipating the announcement all year, and the location was finally named. It was New York, the city that never sleeps. While I was on the trip, I was able to see much of what the city had to offer. However, because it was an eighth-grade trip there were many limitations on the things we could see and participate in. Therefore, this would be the place I would go if I had one ticket in my hand. I would go to New York to experience the charm that flows through the city through the city.

An event that clearly marked my transition from childhood to adulthood was the truly eye-opening experience of attending a Kairos retreat. For those unfamiliar with Kairos, it is a four-day religious retreat in which you and a small group of students come together to more learn about God, themselves, and others in a setting that completely removes you from the daily distractions and stresses of the outside world. Everyone, including myself, was able to share the personal stories about the struggles that they have faced and are continuing to face every day of their lives and offer support to others that may be going through similar things. We laughed together, we cried together, and we created strong relationships and friendships with people, some of which we hadn’t spoken a word to or even known by

A trip can become the adventure of a lifetime. Factors such as practicing the language, learning the indigenous culture, and interacting with fellow members can help further invigorate amazing experiences. Moreover, a trip can become an embedded memory, with lessons and stories to tell, a brilliant diamond in a chest of recollection jewels. Going to Puerto Rico, a land doused in rich history and traditions, will spark an unforgettable journey into the mind of an aspiring adolescent: myself, Christopher Ye.

Many underestimate the power that a singular event possesses and the extent at which it can alter one’s mindset. Often times a shift in the method of thinking and processing information, the act which drives our entire being, signifies a “coming of age”. Reaching a pivotal moment in time where not only do those around you recognize the transformation, but you also fully embrace the alteration. In layman's terms, transitioning out of childhood conjures thoughts and ideas that evolve from the foundation of one’s life. For me, the potent mixture of a short-lived period of blissful innocence and a pressurized home environment led to the culmination of a desire to succeed.

If i had a ticket to go anywhere i want, I would want to go to the bahamas. Going to the bahamas has always been a dream of mine, because it seems fun and I honestly love getting on water rides and I love the ocean and all the animals. I would stay at the bahamas for a while because there is a lot of places to visit.

In 2008, I learned some exciting news that I was going to go on a cruise. A cruise is a new experience for me and I was ready to go on it. We were going to St. Martin in the Bahamas, we would leave Kansas City and get on a boat at Cape Canaveral which was by Kennedy space center. Me, my grandparents, parents, aunt, uncle and my great grandparents were all going on the trip. This trip ended up being the funnest trip in my life.

Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.

For me to discuss a single event that transitioned me from childhood to adulthood would be impossible. As people grow, they experience many events and those experiences are what shape us into the people we are today. Starting from my origins, I was born in a dense city called Reading. Throughout the city there are people roaming the streets from different ethnicities. Growing up was tough, it didn’t matter who you were because you were always surrounded. You did one wrong move and someone would look at you differently. Hearing stories about my young childhood, made me a little sad. My dad was never around, and my mom was either at work, or inside trying to take care of the house. At first it was only me and my older brother. We got along fine, but as your average pair of street kids, we would get in trouble from time to time. Since we didn’t have too much money, our family tried to get by with what we got. We couldn’t buy all the toys that we wanted, and even if we did, there was a good chance

Start Your Bahamas Yacht Charter Traveling from South Florida to Nassau, aboard your luxury yacht. Upon arrival explore Nassau’s Old Town, which features a handful of museums, forts, local markets and fantastic local restaurants. At night you can experience Nassau’s nightlife at one of the dance clubs, or a timeless beach dive bar.

The event that marked my transition from childhood to adulthood was the job I held in the summer going into my senior year. I was a lifeguard and a swim instructor within my community. Being the first-born child in all of my family, I have been surrounded by people that are younger than me and have always been a natural leader. I would be described by my family and friends as a planner, well-organized, and responsible. When I found out I got the job to be a swim lesson instructor, I felt prepared.

Have you ever wanted to go to a place where celebrities and people can roam free, a place where a festival is almost always happening, a place that you will never be bored at? Well, thankfully that place exists! This year I was gifted with the opportunity to go to the Bahamas, the outstanding culture, the amazing sights and all the breathtaking rides, all reasons why I would like to go there again.

On the adventure Im going to explore many towns and places in the Bahamas to learn and see things I don't get to see in my everyday life. Im going to visit maybe some museums to learn and learn some things about the past of the Bahamas. Or I will even go and visit beaches to relax. I am definitely going to go diving and see many Interesting things like fish and what its like underwater and how things really are. I could even go on tours and see many different animals in the woods or even trees or plants. These are only some of the things I am going to do

Around 300 Christians on board the Bridal Glory Royal Caribbean cruise on the way to the Bahamas “rocked the boat” for Jesus with His miraculous healings and signs.

As a grown up, you cannot depend on other people to do things for you, you have to get them done yourself. I think the moment I realized I was finally growing up was the minute I saw my St. Brendan acceptance letter in the mail. My heart dropped the second I laid eyes on it, my throat dried, and I found myself at a loss for words. I stood completely frozen, reading my name on the card continuously. As I grasped the envelope in my hands, I realized that I wasn't just holding onto some random paper- I was holding onto my future. My future depended on this. At that very moment, I began to think about how I wasn't a little girl anymore, and that the inside of that letter would decide whether or not I had what it took to succeed. After hesitating for a while, I tore the letter open to find that I had been accepted. That was the exact moment when I realized that I was growing up- by being accepted into this school, I found myself aware of the fact that this was it. Four more years of hard work and dedication, then I'd be off to college, and after that, to begin a fresh, new life. In life, many different paths must be taken to become something, to be someone- to be triumphant. Growing up is one of those paths everyone must take in order to succeed- and I believe I'm doing everything in my power to become exactly that-
