It is a pleasure to meet you! I see that you have moved to the lower 48 from Alaska. I hope you and your family enjoyed your time there. I lived in Cordova, Alaska for four years while my dad was in the Coast Guard. I am thankful for the traveling experience and opportunity of meeting new people his employment included. It just so happens that I was able to have my favorite teacher for two consecutive years for third and fourth grade. She made learning fun and left a lasting impression on me, I still keep in touch with her to this day.
It can be very challenging to move away from the country you grew up in. Recalling all those moments of laughter, excitement, and adventure can only make one more and more depressed. I was born in Port-Au -Prince, which is the capital of Haiti and raised in Gonaives. I spend most of my early childhood in Haiti. I only knew my native language, food, music, and history. I was only familiar with my native holidays and celebration. Therefore, the day my mother came to me and told me I had been awarded my resident card, and we had to move to America. My life changed forever.
Can fictional books teach students about social issues and how to deal with them? Fiction allows students to explore different situations and events, that they have never experienced. A novel can contain all sorts of themes, conflicts, and lessons. In Looking for Alaska, each character is different because of the way their life problems have affected them and how those around them make them feel. Despite the school board’s recent sentiments regarding the lack of value that fiction provides, fiction should remain in the school’s curriculum due to teaching social issues that can occur in life, people can go through these social issues even relate to them, and students can take life lessons from fiction books if they exist in real life.
Have you ever wondered what it was like to be a miner during the gold rush? Or have you ever thought about the conditions they had to go through to even get to the location of the gold? In “Klondike Gold Rush ~ Yukon Territory 1897,” the reader learns about difficult tasks and horrid events that the miners had to withstand in order to mine gold. In “A Woman Who Went to Alaska,” by May Kellogg Sullivan the narrator expresses how they feel the Canadian Dominion government is unfair and how the miners go through more just to get to the mines then it's worth. In both pieces, the authors both heavily feel that the conditions are terrible for the miners and how much gold they collect was cruel for how much work they put in. In both passages, the author was
It was a nice ordinary warm morning or so I thought. My mother had been thinking of moving for the past year, but she never really got around to it until that day when she told me and my younger sister at breakfast that we were moving to Idaho. I was very shocked and confused. It was only a few weeks ago that we went to visit Idaho to see if we liked the state. There were so many thoughts buzzing through my head such as what am I going to tell my friends and how much longer do I have to say goodbye to everyone before I never see them again. I also thought why Idaho, what was so special about the little potato state. I liked it in California. All my friends were here, this is where I grew up, and all our relatives lived here as well. Even though my family had moved around California many times before this move, Idaho was something new altogether.
I`ve been on planes, cars, and many things in my life but I have never been on a cruise, and on this Alaskan Cruise I was able to try new things. In our ship they had swimming pools, ping pong tables, casinos, and a extraordinary ice cream bar. One of my favorite parts of this trip was holding two baby sled dogs that were two weeks old. I also liked kayaking, plus I shared a kayak with my sister, Mia, and I controlled the kayak from the back. After that my family and I went on a bus ride to see caribou, bears, and glaciers. I also went on a hike and float with the Kendal`s (who are my cousins), because there daughter Annie was sleepy. I saw cool trees and fascinating wildlife. I even was allowed to eat berries that tasted like watermelon, but
“Losing Alaska” narrator in the podcast stated that “The debate about climate change is not about science but about human behavior”. I consider “sacrifice and relationship” the intersection between climate change and human behavior. It was also mentioned in the podcast interview that “Divide’s on climate change is not scientific facts but social interaction”. When people notice that they are personally being affected by climate change in such a negative way whether it be financially or physically I am sure that the effect will cause them to observe their personal relationship and actions with the environment around them.
I’ll never forget the time i moved to Maine. We drove a whopping 22 hours to get there. We came from virginia and traveled over the course of a day. My mom was very tired and was awake on coffee and energy drinks. That made me feel bad because i wasn't sixteen so i couldn't help. We stopped at some places along the way and saw mountains and beautiful
Ice or snow there ready to go, the geography of alaska is hard to explore because
I never in my life did expect one day to write an essay for the Spanish Travel Scholarship and to write it in English! Fifteen year ago I was a typical Italian architecture student who, beyond doubt, had not yet established her role in the local, national, and global community, or her purpose in life. I spent my college years making my parents proud, and fulfilling teachers’ expectations. Nevertheless architecture wasn’t my college decision. It was my dad’s dream. When I was six years of age, he lost his engineering firm because of a stroke. He reinvented himself various times, after the stroke, but he has never been able to rebuild his engineering firm from the ashes. My architecture degree was his last opportunity to reopen his beloved

Having the experience of traveling to Greece, Italy, and Sicily with People to People certainly influenced my potential interest to return to my rural community and serve in a leadership capacity. Having a leadership position comes with an immense amount of responsibility, which is something that I have developed through my travels with People to People. Due to that, I consider myself an abundantly passionate person, because I want people to venerate my appearance whenever I appear. The sophistication of traveling and interacting with people in foreign countries is the realization of the difference between the countries and the blessings of America as a society. As I have mentioned before, I have not at all constructed specific and detailed
We are here! My family and I are at Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska!! I hope that we are able to go kayaking because I hear that that is super fun. I am so excited to be going to the park that was established on December 2, 1980. Another thing that I hoping to see at the park is orca whales, one of the many animals that I have heard that are at the park. Since we are only here for a couple of days, I hope to see as much as I can of the 607,000 acres of land. Right now we are going to go on a hike. So far I have seen a mountain goat, squirrels, and a moose. Tomorrow we are going to go on a boat tour. We were told that it was going to be cold, so we were to dress warm.
Living in Alaska and searching for an RV is hard. It started a couple of months ago with the hubs researching all options; diesel vs gas and class A vs class C. Like everything else in Alaska, RV's are expensive up here and are usually high miles. We ended up going to 2 RV dealerships to look at their older models that where in the lots waiting to be purchased. We started to notice a growing trend in the class C RVs is that the only size that we were going to be able to use was the 31ft size due us both liking our space and traveling with two cats that are both about 15 pounds a piece. Another deterant in the class C was that the shower size made me feel tall (I'm only 5'4" on a good day)
I want to go Alaska for multiple reasons. The most important reason is that Christians are told to go and tell others of Jesus. I really want to see if I can be any help to the people, especially the kids, of the village. Another reason is that I, admittedly, desperately want to see the world and become more culturally experienced. I have always wanted travel, but I'm rather fearful to begin doing it on my own. That make a Bethel led trip a good stepping stone for future exploration. Finally, I want to go because missions have been such a confusing and important part of my life.
Moving to a new house it’s exciting but moving to a new country it’s terrifying. That’s how I felt when I moved here to the states, terrified. Entering unknown land without knowing a sense of English can be very overwhelming at a young age. Leaving my family was definitely one of the hardest thing I’ve experienced because I couldn’t just drive back to visit them. Even though I was only 12 when I moved from Venezuela, that journey has helped me grow and have a better mindset. I get to see things differently and have a different look on life. I would say that it has definitely help me transition from childhood to adulthood. Because moving with new people, learning a new culture and language is something special yet so stressing. At times I find
