“Come on Brooklyn! Time to go! We don’t want to miss our flight,” my mom shouted upstairs. My parents were really wanting to get out of Chicago for a really long time, and now we were finally going to the Caribbean. “I know mom, I’m calling Todd quickly to say goodbye,” I shouted back. Todd’s my awesome boyfriend. We’re both 16. “Ugh of course it’s always about Todd,” my mom said. She doesn’t really like him. Neither does my dad. Why? I don’t know. I rushed downstairs knowing if I didn’t, I would’ve gotten in a lot of trouble by my strict parents. All three of us hopped into the van with our luggage. The engine sputtered, and we drove away.
“Flight from Chicago to the Caribbean will now be boarding at gate G4,” said the assistant. “First class boarders may now start boarding.” That for sure wasn’t us. My family hasn’t been able to afford anything beyond necessary, since both my mom and dad got fired from their jobs. They told me they got fired for always coming to work late because of me. And yeah that’s probably true. I do have some problems getting out of the house on time for school.
I was sitting on the floor stretching before I had to get on the plane. Before I knew it, we were boarding the plane. My parents were whispering about something. I couldn’t understand them, but I knew it was none of my business, and they would just get mad at me if I asked. At 12:30 the plane starting shaking and took off.
We arrived in the Caribbean at
It was a nice summer morning we I was all of a suden shoke like turbulence on a plane to wake up. It turns out I slept threw my alarm to wake up for the day. It was about 11:00 am and today we were heading to Florida and our flight takes off at 1:00 pm. You may think that we had time to make the airport in Milwaukee but, we had to drive all the way to Chicago, Illinois because there was no flight for Florida in Milwaukee. Luckily I had packed the day before with the rest of my family so all we had to do was wait for our aunt Lisa to take us to the aiport in Chicago. She showed up five minutes later with a mini van and there was about seven of us jammed in there. It was alright for me because in our family if you called “shot-gun” or “I
I want to ask everybody here. Who had been experiencing being overprotected by their parents? Some parents are overly protective of their children and they always have a feeling that something might happen to the kids. Overprotective parents think that their children can’t handle life’s challenges on their own. Being in this situation is like fighting a losing battle and it doesn’t matter how many times we try to spread our wings our parents will never release the chain around our ankle.
I had never been on an airplane. My stomach felt like I had just eaten rotten fish and I was about to throw up. I was so excited to go, but at the same time I was scared because I had never been on a plane. We waited in the airport for at least an hour. Finally our flight was called, as I walked on the plane my heart was about to jump out of my skin. After the flight attendant had went through all the rules and we put our seat belts on the plane was going to take off. I thought the worst thing about the flight was taking off and landing. I didn?t like taking off and landing because my ears popped. Other than the fact that my ears popped taking off and landing the flight went smooth, we didn?t crash. When the plane landed, I couldn?t wait to stand on solid ground again.
After all of that we we’re getting on the plane. We found our sets and sat in them and buckled up we were ready for our flight. Were on a plane I was really excited about the trip, when we took off it was going down the runway faster and faster then all of a the sudden the plane was going up off the ground then we were in the sky floating forward. Then the plane was going fast whenever I looked out the window everything on land and not in the air looked tiny it was an amazing site from up above. It felt like we were flying with the birds.
“Hannah? Hannah! You have a new package in the mail!” Makenzie runs into my house, as she stumbles over my dogs, who are barking at her. “What do you mean my mail? And why were you looking in my mailbox,” I say humorously. Makenzie jumps over the couch, kicking my phone out of my hand, “We are going to Los Angeles!” A few weeks before, Makenzie and I entered a contest to win a free trip to a Justin Bieber concert, in Los Angeles. I open the package, and the first word I read was ‘Congratulations!’ I screamed as I ran to my closet to get my suitcase. Makenzie started to throw random clothes in my bag, and I quickly stopped her. “Why are you taking all the clothes out,” Makenzie said confused. “Don’t you remember who filled out the information with us?” Makenzie’s face dropped as she answered my question. “I told you not to bring Agustin and Jacob to the mall with us, now we have to spend hours on a plane with them, hearing them talk non-stop,” Makenzie confirmed. “I’m sorry, Makenzie, but they are our friends,” I say supportively. I go to call my other friends, telling them the outstanding news.
My mind went blank. I forgot all the things I learned in the plane safety book mom gave me. All the flights attendants were trying to keep everyone calm. They were putting a mask on that everything was fine, but my eyes looked through it and saw them crying on the inside. The oxygen masks came flying down but I didn't notice. I was staring at all the people crying. Then the flight attendant came and put my mask on for
“Skylar, come on! The truck is about to leave!” my mom shouted as she walked outside to the U-haul truck containing precious memories of the past thirteen years of my life. “Alright, mom!” I aggressively shouted back to her, knowing full well she would not appreciate my tone. Despite my resistance towards the events of the day, I trudged out of my bare room with the last of my Vera Bradley luggage and loaded up the truck.
For the first parent interview, I interviewed my friend Randy. The interview took place in the living room of my house. His daughter was present but was playing with my sister at the time of the interview. Randy is the father of a toddler girl who is three years old but will turn four soon. Randy was born in 1992, he is not married but is cohabiting with the mother of the child and his parents’ home. In addition, Randy works for a medical supplies company and has only completed high school. Moreover, when he had his first child and only child, he was 21 years old.
My family was on the way to the Reagan National Airport and we got stuck in traffic and we had missed our flight.Our parents had bought us new tickets for later that day and we were waiting for the people to tell us that we could board the plane but they had given our seats away.My parents were so mad and they had to talk to the people that had given us our new tickets and we had to buy new tickets for tomorrow it was night by the time we got out of the airport.We decided to say at my aunt’s house because it was closer to the airport and we
The flight to New York was my first time flying in a plane. I was so scared at first because I have seen how big a plane was before, but I had never been in one before. That was my first time ever being that high off the ground and I had gotten to sit by the window. What made it even scarier, but after a little while I was okay after I got used to it and I was okay. The flight was 14 hours from Miami to New York. I ate pizza and I played
No matter the age, children are always precious human beings in this world and leaving them for just a few minutes can be a life changer, such as something unspeakable that can happen to them at any given time. When having a tight schedule parents don’t tend to think clearly, especially if they’re in a rush. Any parent would want their children to have a safe healthy life, knowing that they are in good hands. Leaving a child from the ages 0-10, by themselves shouldn’t be an option to consider. Children at those ages like to explore and figure out no things, even like to wander off, that isn’t safe for anyone, especially as little as they are.
The next morning at 2:00am we woke up, and started driving to the airport with my mom. As we are getting on the plane my heart is beating a million miles per hour, I hate planes so much they give me anxiety.
I had to get up so I got up, and dragging myself to the plane, I gave the lady my ticket and she allowed me to go on the plane, I got on and slept. When I was on the plane I woke up as we started to land. My ear felt like bleeding and it didn't stop, it irritated me for 10 minutes.I got off the plane with a headache, stomachache, and ears that were turned on mute. I got to my grandmother's house in DR then slept and woke up feeling amazing like I just won the lottery. After all this trouble I was still happy to be
The light to put our seatbelts on glowed as the captain spoke to us and flight attendants acted out safety instructions. At take-off my stomach was filled with butterflies, but I wasn't scared. My body was pushed into the seat but I pretended I was the captain of a fighter jet. When we were stable I discovered that flying wasn't that bad. And the ocean looked beautiful out the windows! I put on my CD player until the played the in-flight movie, Planet of the Apes. I didn't like it so I kept listening to my CD player all the way through dinner. I fell asleep but the sound of the captains voice woke me. He was telling us there was an hour left of the flight. Flight attendants asked us to stow away our bags and prepare for landing. Butterflies were fluttering in my stomach again as I anticipated the landing. I felt the plane lose
My benevolent parents. First off, I would just like to say thank you. You guys are as unbelievable as a chicken driving a motorcycle through a hoop on fire. You have given everyone a awe-inspiring life and have given us everything and anything we have ever asked for and desired. You have made my life as easy as reciting my ABC’s. Thank you for giving us the best childhood. Thank you for loving all of us unconditionally, and loving me a bit more. Thank you also for giving me the proper tools to succeed in life. Finally, thank you for supporting us throughout our lives and for the continued support in the future. Now, since in a couple more years I will be heading off to the next big step in my life, college, I know that both of you guys are going to miss me since I won't be home for long periods of time. Mom will definitely miss me and call me but Dad will call me like once every week. He is a strong individual, like father, like son. Since all of this would happen I was thinking that we should expand our family. However, when I say expand our family I don’t mean getting a baby, I mean we should acquire a Canis lupus familiaris. In laymen’s terms, we should procure a German Shepherd. Now, I understand that you have disliked the topic and will sigh in disbelief that I'm bringing it back up. However, if we were to get a puppy, then I believe it would be good for us. I have brought together many justifications of why obtaining a pup is helpful. A baby hound gives you company on those lonely days and a dog's company would be satisfying. Dogs would also help you in making new friends and getting to know the neighborhood and the people in the neighborhood. Also, getting a big protective dog, such as a trained German Shepherd would keep you as safe as possible and would risk its life for you. So you know that dogs are the best pets for you.
