I was standing on a hill looking at the horrible town of West Point in Liberia, and I was starting to rethink my career as a journalist. . “This is the worst place I’ve ever seen,” I said. “We’re not there yet,” Abeeku said with a thick African accent and a grin. He looked more elegant than most people I saw in Liberia, but he still looked poverty-stricken. He was wearing a tattered tank top, and his blue jeans were smeared with dirt. “I’m not sure I want to go down this hill, and
A long distance relationship is a thought that makes most couples cringe. The thought of being miles upon miles away is something that can make people question the strength of their relationship. However, this trend of long distance is something that is becoming more and more common with the advancement of technology such as video chatting sources like Facetime or Skype. This trend is something I’ve personally noticed many college students, especially freshmen, experiencing. They have their high
before I flew out to America, my friends and I went on a trip. It was the greatest time in my life. It is the day that I will never forget in my life. My friends and I were so close and we love each other. When I told them I got a visa to go to America, they were so sad. Because the did not want to leave me. So they decide to have unforgettable day before I fly to america. That 's why we decided to go to trip on that day. In the morning, before we go to the trip, we started our day by eating breakfast

I took to Toronto, Canada. It took place in middle of the hot month of July in 2007. It was a family trip that I went on with my church, Brown Missionary Baptist Church. I had never gone on a trip with them before but was filled with so much excitement and anticipation as well as curiosity and being very nervous as time winded down. I guess it had something to do with me really getting to know my church members. You would think that we would want to travel by plane but that was not a part of the
This year was the same as last when it came time to make my New Year 's Resolution. I set out to exercise more and lost twenty pounds. Also like last, I haven 't stuck to my plan and have given up already. I have tried to accomplish this over the last two years because I have tons of clothes that I can no longer fit into and it 's a small amount that I feel I should be able to lose, but I seem to always fall short. The first few weeks in January I staied solid. I was going to the gym, eating right
I am lucky enough to say that my dad took me to Amsterdam. I was seventeen at the time and a junior in high school. To a seventeen year-old, Amsterdam is known as the party capital of the world, or the Las Vegas a Europe (minus the billionaire casinos). In other words, Amsterdam is known as the place to go if you want to “party, party, party,” with the minimal fear of consequences. Amsterdam is a city on water in the Netherlands. There, the consumption of marijuana is legal as long as the person
Trip to India Peering out of the international terminal window, I gaped at the colossal Boeing-747 plane standing in front of me, with not just one floor but two floors of seats. All buzzed up in excitement, I bombarded my father with questions about my first real trip to India. I say my first real trip because the first time I had been there was when I was an infant, probably being passed around and adored by countless relatives. "When are we leaving? When will we get there? Where are we staying
Sunday evening when my parents told us we were going on a trip. My younger brother Charlie and I were so excited since we 've never been out of the country before. We would be gone for only a week so I had to fit in as much as possible, I wanted to see all the history and culture this small country offered. I did all my research on it before we left and I even taught myself common terms. The day we left was a day I will never forget; I remember sitting at the airport shaking my leg like crazy because
and even along the way doubting, I flew out April 14, 2014 to Jamaica. This trip completely changed my life from the traveling experience, to what I did there, and to the things people taught me there that I will never forget. In one week God completely wrecked my world. Here I am 15 years old getting on a plane to a country with 46 other people from my school to head to Jamaica. We flew out from Tampa, Florida which is my hometown and the flight took about 2 hours, but for me it felt like it took
