How To Write An Essay About My Life In Panama

It was a hot, searing day as the sun beat down on my skin. The lush green palm trees provided me shade as I sat and observed my surroundings. Children, barefoot and dirty, wearing tattered and stained clothes were running around laughing and playing. Their joyous giggles put a smile on my face and warmed my heart as I watched them.

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.

From an early age, I had the desire to give back to my community. This desire was likely instilled in me by my mother, who as a school teacher, went to great lengths to help her students achieve academically. To better do this, she created at Tupelo Middle School in Mississippi, the Mermaids and Argonauts Program, which allowed students to travel on extended school trips to locations where they were able to have hands-on experiences at zoos, science labs, colleges, museums, and more across the country. As her child, I was able to tag along on many of these trips, which fueled my desire to learn about and interact with my environment. It left me with the great hope that someday I would be able to have such experiences abroad, in order to better learn about the people and cultures with which I interact. For this reason, I hope to study abroad this summer in Pachuca, Mexico.

Costa Rica is a very beautiful and unique place. It was my first time going there and I loved it! It was much different than the United States in ways I didn’t mind or even enjoyed. We saw many things and went many places while we were down there. I am ready to go back again already and do new, exciting things. However, we did a lot while we were down there.

My parents have always raised me to be grateful for what I have. I live in a safe and wealthy town with a superior education system, I have amazing friends and family, a roof over my head, and proper food and clothing.

When I was first awoken before 8:00 a.m on a Monday morning in July, it is not hard to imagine how unamused I was.

Their summer camp for kids with special needs ages three and a half through twenty-one had become my home for the next week.

Ever since I started in high school, mission work has been a major part of my life. For the past three years, for two weeks at a time, I have been going to the poorest region of Jamaica. The organization I have been a part of is called American Caribbean Experience, or ACE for short. The experiences I have had while doing mission work in Jamaica have changed my life forever.

This internship will be the first thing I do as soon as I graduate because I leave May 23rd and we graduate May 21st. This internship will also prepare me for my long term goal of becoming a doctor

Puerto Rico, a spanish island unfamiliar to me, but five of my best friends and I were all on our way there. We all had talked each other into going on the 9 day trip with no parents, just our Spanish teacher. Running on about maybe 3 hours of sleep, we landed in San Juan to begin our journey. We had a group of 29 students and being in an airport with only Spanish speaking people was one of the most stressful places I’ve ever been. I was a little worried this trip might not end well at the beginning, but our week had ziplining, swimming through caves, painting a school, visiting a rainforest, staying at three different hotels, meeting orphanage boys and many unfamiliar foods on the agenda.

Some information I found interesting/surprising about Panama was that it was more unlikely for people to be unemployed than in the U.S., people are 43.84% less likely to be in prison, and that you would pay 91.87% less money on health care. I would not like to live in Panama, because in Panama you would have a higher chance to die in infancy, higher chance to get killed, be more likely to have HIV/AIDS, and you would make less money in
