Cancun: Personal Narrative

Waving goodbye from the backseat of the car, as we pull out of my parent’s driveway. Looking out the window at the oddly, white shaped clouds. Thinking, I had never been away from my parents and my younger sister for so long, even though it was only for two weeks. I was excited and scared all at once, but I wasn’t too thrilled about the whole 29-hour drive there. Hoping that the trip would go well and nothing bad will happen to us.

We had been waiting for this trip for years. Every 5 years we go on a trip to someplace fun. When five years passed after our trip to disneyland we were all waiting to go on some other adventure. I had done this twice, but 2 things about our trip this year were special.

The day has finally come to go on vacation. My family and I departed promptly from our house at 4:30 in the morning. Our flight was scheduled for 7 in the morning at Pittsburgh International Airport. We had to arrive their early because all people flying international had to be their two hours before the flight would leave. We boarded the flight out to Punta Cana, which is located in the Dominican Republic. I can remember that I was so excited to go, that I was the first on the flight. I am pretty sure that it took about three hours to get to the Dominican Republic from Pittsburgh. It was a really long flight to me because I could not wait to get there and I just wanted to land. Finally, the moment has come and we landed. When we departed

Having the best two days of my life. Hanging out, watching horrifying movies, and spending time with some teammates before one of the biggest cross country races that exist tomorrow morning. Hundreds of people were going to attend this event to cheer on a family member. Even though this was three years ago and I came just to support some of Forest Park cross country runners.

During the summer my family and me went on vacation to mexico to see my grandma at her house it took us 2 days to get to her town is mexico when we got there is was 11 at night my uncle opened the garage door to let us in when we got off the car my grandma opened the door to let us in her house she gave everyone a hug the her and my mom started to cook food for everyone. After everyone got their suitcases out of the car and took them to there room my mom and dad slept in one room, my sister and her daughter slept in another room and my nephew and me slept in the living room. The next day my dad showed me around the town he grew up in where his other family members who lived there, and his aunt who owns a store on the corner of the street. When

It is an amazing thought to think that I am sitting on a beautiful white sand beach in the South Pacific where there are no tourists!

Every year I go to Mexico, during spring break and summer. It's always relaxing laying on the beach or going on a nice refreshing swim in the 70 degree water. It was an average day down in mexico during the summer of 2017; I remember my family and I relaxing at home after a long day on the boat. I was feeding the street dog because I could tell she was either having puppies, or already had puppies. She was starving to death, her ribs were showing, I knew I had to help her. I started feeding her three times a day so she could start producing milk if she’s already had the puppies; or so she could keep the puppies healthy while she was still pregnant. A few days later I walked outside to feed her, and I hear whimpering like the sound newborn puppies

Hola, One of the many of words i learned during my stay in Punta Cana. The best vacation ever and all the credits goes to the staff at Sanctury Cap Cana. The first day of arrival, Caesar greeted us with champagne,cold towels and the biggest smile that never faded. We stayed in the castle and was treated with royalty. It didn’t matter whether you had a butler cause everyone on staff would be there to assist you. The housekeepers did an outstanding job. I met Nancy whom worked on the third floor so sweet and accommodating, she would always ask are we okay , truly a wonderful spirit. We had the option to request pickup to take us where ever we needed to go We walked most of the time because we was so amazed at the beautiful flowers and the

Everything was so new and yet so familiar. Places I have seen and places I have not. A new and funny feeling swam through my body unsure what to think about this feeling. Never felt it before, and I somehow knew it wouldn’t be that last.

When summer season ended, we sometimes head to Cancun, where one of my aunts lived. Mami Rosa would help her take care of her small kids that weren't in school yet, while my aunt went to work in the huge offices. Cancun was a magnificent business city where the school was different than the villages. Here we had to wear uniforms, take English classes, and the school had many teachers and classrooms. The school couldn't be compared to the village school, and the children treated me differently because I came from a small town. I didn't make many friends because most of the kids in my classes didn't want to play or talk to me and they would even call me

It's been eight years. Eight years. Held captive against my will. I'm beginning to believe that I'll also die here.

Cancun used to be called Ekab, which means black earth. It is one of the top most visited places because it is a semi tropical paradise. It is located on the southeastern edge of Mexico. There are so many activities for couples, families, and friends. It has fourteen miles of sandy Caribbean beaches. The second largest coral reef is located in Cancun! December- April is the best time to travel to Cancun. If you are planning to travel during spring break, make sure to plan your trip ahead of time. There are many other activities to do in Cancun besides the ones mentioned in this brochure. Chichen Itza, Xcaret, and the underwater museum are other popular tourist attractions. Are you worried about the rain? You shouldn’t! It never lasts long.

For the past three years, I have spent two weeks of my Summer break in the city of Espanola, New Mexico. According to KRQE News 13, Espanola is allegedly the most dangerous city in New Mexico, with one out of nine people having a severe chance of becoming a victim of a crime. The children of Espanola are the ones most affected by the devastating crimes taking place in their city every single day. Although we may come to believe that the one out of nine people is nothing more than a simple statistic, those numbers include the only family that these young kids have. Grandparents, parents, and aunts/uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters.

This is a poster and a slideshow about our “trip” to Cancún, México, specifically on Isla Mujeres, it was a group project with 4 people including myself. On both the poster and the slide show, we had to include why we wanted to visit the place, landscapes there, activities to do there, necessities to bring, animals there, our way of transportation, the food there, the weather, why it’s the best place to visit and recommendations from other people.

As my eyes lit up like the fourth of July, I stood with my feet stuck to the ground, and my nerves tingle with happiness because of how marvelous it was. I didn't know a Mexico resort could be so nice.
