Busch Gardens

    When I was around 6 or 7 years old, my family decided to go to Yosemite National Park over the summer. We went on Saturday and during the morning so we could get there early. After about 30 minutes on the road, we stopped at a resting area. We ate there for about 15 minutes and used the restroom. My dad told us that if we wanted to get there early, we had to go right then. My family and I were back on the road and arrived there in 2 hours. I slept the whole way so I couldn't watch the environment as we passed by. When we got there, we entered the park and ate. I was so excited that I ran ahead of my family. I could feel the cool breeze and smell the fresh tree like scent as I ran. My brother asked if we could split into groups and my dad agreed. We split into groups and we started our adventure. I was with my grandma and my sister. The other group was my dad, my mom, and my brother. We also decided to meet at the a certain point at sunset.

Busch Gardens is located in Tampa, FL and was originally known as Busch Gardens Africa. Busch Gardens made its grand opening on March 31, 1959, at first it was an admission-free facility. People went for beer tastings and there was also a bird garden including a Stairway to the Stars. Then in 1965, a 29 acre plain was opened where it allowed African wildlife to roam freely. This is where the focus on the African tropics began, including tropical landscape, exotic animals, and amusements to increase the number of visitors. With an addition of roller coasters, Busch Gardens decided to start charging an admission fee since the entertainment side started to grow.

Their sacrifice has been my unwavering motivation ever since I came to this country at five years old. Everything I have done, everything I am, and everything I will be has been the result of one decision that forever changed my life. My greatest goal is to one day be able to return this unmeasurable favor in any way I can, and the first step towards that is a great education, a concept that was planted in me at a very young age.

SeaWorld opened in 1964 along the Mission Bay in San Diego, stretching a total of 21 acres. When they first started, their park only had 45 employees, a few dolphins, sea lions, and two saltwater aquariums. Today, several parks are spread out throughout the southern United States in California, Florida, and Texas. SeaWorld provides various shows every day with special perks for high paying guests, such as swimming with dolphins and other sea dwellers. A majority of their shows include orcas, otherwise known as killer whales. Recently, these majestic beasts have been living up to those names, attacking, mauling, and fatally injuring the parks own trainers. Blackfish, a documentary released in 2013, gets up close and personal with these stories of attack, to bring us countless reasons why orcas, and other marine life, should be left to live in their natural habitats, instead of in the concrete cells they rot in now. Orca pods are part of a matriarchal society, the females are more dominant and this can cause disputes between the alphas. When orcas are confined to a small space, these fights can get out of hand, disallowing the least dominant one to run, resulting in injury and death to the whales. Over the past 35 years there have been four deaths and countless injuries, and each time SeaWorld has placed the blame upon the trainers, explaining they hadn 't completed basic safety procedures. Orcas should not be kept in captivity for many reasons. Firstly, they are

There are so many acts of sacrifice, heroism, compassion and courage, unity and fierce determination. These examples are particularly important to our children. I feel as though children reflect the values they see in their parents, and in their heroes. In most recent years our

Looking back on high school, one memory usually stands out. For me, it was when our band marched in the Tournament of Roses. Preceding the Rose Bowl in Pasadena every January, we were thrilled to be in the parade. Considered one of the best bands in the state, the parade officials contacted our band director. The problem was only paying for the trip. However, holding spaghetti suppers and car washes, the money was eventually raised. We went to California two days early to visit Disneyland. Covered with thousands of flowers, we also got a sneak preview of the floats. Reporting to the parade site at 6:00 a.m., our place in the parade was assigned. Marching the six-mile route, more than a million people would watch us. Watching the parade on

SeaWorld is secretly a great horror to the aquatic kingdom. According to SeaWorld of Hurt, “SeaWorld’s corporate incident log contains reports of more than one-hundred incidents of orca aggression,” as well as many other buried secrets SeaWorld have been covering up. When the director of Blackfish, Gabriela Cowperthwaite, first heard of the death of Dawn Brancheau in 2010, she had many questions arise. SeaWorld repeatedly gave different answers and would prevaricate the situations around the deaths in general. Cowperthwaite recalls that she was confused about the whole situation and things weren't matching up. She figured, if she had that many questions others most likely do too, so she concluded to unfold the secrets and released

Would your band chose to go to Schlitterbahn or Worlds of Fun? Our 7th. and 8th. grade band chose to go to Worlds of Fun because we thought we would have a better time at Worlds of Fun. First, I arrived at the school at 8:45. Then I grabbed my flute and loaded the bus. Later, when we got to Worlds of Fun which was as hot as a sauna. We went into the park I rode my first roller coaster with Chloe, Laura, Katie, and Libbie. When it was time for us to perform we had to warm up in a hot and sweaty tent. Then we went into an auditorium that was as cool as ice. We performed our two songs and they went ok. After we were done we went back into the park. I then rode the Patriot with Katie and the line was a mile long. At the end of the day
