Moments Relived Every child’s dream is to go to Disneyland where they will experience a dream of a lifetime. One moment I want to experience again is when my family took me to Disneyland especially when my father was still alive. My father died of pancreatic cancer when I was five years old, but I did not understand the concept of his death, so I did not feel any sadness or grief for him until I was eight years old where I finally understood the impact of his death which struck me to tears. I have heard mostly good things from my mother and other close relatives who have said he was a good man who truly loved his family and wanted the best for us. What I want to change in this experience is to give thanks to my parents, show more love …show more content…
I can tell my parents were very happy, especially my father who had a genuine smile over his face since he was happy with how my sister and I were excited for this trip. Once my parents finished their announcement, we quickly headed over to our car to get started on our trip to Disneyland. Furthermore, as we started to drive towards our destination, I remember looking out the window of our car and noticing cars zoom past us as we drove along the freeway. My sister tired herself out on the trip and she’s soundly asleep while my parents happily chat with each other about something I don’t understand at the time. In contrast, I didn’t do anything, but I just stared out the window for long periods of time ignoring what’s going on in the car without interacting much with my parents. After a few hours later, I could identify the entrance of Disneyland and proceeded to wake up my sister, so we can be ready to go once my parents found a parking space. Once my parents found a parking space, we headed to the entrance of Disneyland then we showed our tickets to the person manning the entrance to go inside the amusement park. To continue, after we entered Disneyland I was amazed by how many roller coasters and amusements rides there
It took almost two hours to get to Orlando from Tampa. As the van rolled along the hills, rocking and swaying back and forth, I was elated with thoughts of all the things we would do. I remember jumping around in the back seat with joy as we started to see signs for the park. When we arrived at the park, pure bliss and amazement showed on our faces. We took a ferry boat from the parking lot to the entrance of the park. Once inside the park, we headed for the rides. Some of my favorite rides were The Haunted Mansion, Thunder Mountain, and Splash Mountain. My sibling and I were very thrilled and cheerful. Next, we visited Magic Kingdom to watch a parade of all the Disney characters. We were elated to find out we would get to take pictures with Goofy, Mickey Mouse, and Donald the Duck. My parents purchased chicken tender meals. Also, we ate snacks such as elephant ears and cotton candy. Grandma had given us money to buy extra junk that my parents would not buy. As the day began to end, we started to get tired. Lastly we watched the fireworks and took last minute photos before heading to the car. I was very sad it was time to go home the next
Early in the morning crowds were mild, occasionally bumping into someone. Caitlin decided to be the navigator for the trip and cross off where and what we had done. Christmas themed music played in the background and it felt like being in a whole different world. This was the first real vacation me, Mom, and Caitlin have taken together, the whole time I could let go of stress and have fun not worrying about outside responsibilities. We made our way down Hollywood Boulevard (as they called it) and found Goofy. About to go up to him the handler said “You want to play a trick on him.” “Yeah, sure,” I said. She opened my autograph book to Pluto’s page and told us to show him. Goofy came over and saw the page, he puts his hands on his hips angry. We met other characters like Olaf, Sorcerer Mickey, and Minnie. Next, we headed to The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror one of the most terrifying rides I’ve ever been on. My heart started racing so fast right before we got on the ride, and then they slowly took us up, up, and the next moment falling. I was never more happy to be on the ground in my life. We went to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas party (in the Magic Kingdom), during the night the castle was beautiful with ice crystals cascading down it with multiple shades of blue. We rode Peter Pan’s Flight, they take you up in the air and I could see London with Peter Pan and Wendy flying through the
It was a freezing winter day in December and my mom’s cousin, Emanuel, was coming in from out of town to enjoy his short winter break. The agenda for that particular day was a trip to Universal Studios, which I was dreading due to the weather. As my family and I approached the Universal Studios gates I could hear the piercing noise of speakers projecting someone's voice greeting us to their amusement park. When I walked into the actual park, there was the smell of freshly made hamburgers, which my family and I were craving because we had skipped breakfast to get there early. After eating the delicious meal my older sister and I split away from the group to go enjoy the rides we wanted to.
Foam board insulation could be the ideal choice for insulating walls and attics. It is possible to get it in three diverse types - polystyrene, polyisocyanurate and polyurethane. You will need to learn about the use for each of those varieties ahead of you buy just any. Attics are generally experience from moisture issues, which can be why it will be so important that you select the correct form of foam board to properly safeguard in opposition to water vapor.
It was amazing, we didn't go on the many rides but the ride that I remember most was going on space mountain. It was so fun, we got whipped around corners so fast it felt like we were gonna fall off the track, and the ride was pitch dark besides the little lights placed to make it look like you're in a tunnel. Most of the time we walked around, and we watched the parade. On the second day we went to animal kingdom, it was so cool. In animal kingdom there are different sections that are different countries so it was kinda confusing but still fun. I liked how every country had different food related to that country. We went on the safari and I got lot of photos of the animals. The funnest part of animal kingdom was going on mount everest. I had never been on a roller coaster that big, I was really scared but once it started going it was so much fun. Bailey on the other hand hated the ride, at one part it goes backwards really fast and she couldn't breathe, so after that ride she was scared of roller coasters for a while, but she got over it eventually. On the third day my grandpa wasn't feeling good so he stayed at the hotel and had to miss the best park, epcot. When we first got to epcot we went to the coral reef restaurant, It was so good. It was also really cool that you got to watch the fish and sharks while you ate. Even though there went any seats available near the aquarium, it was still really good. Our waiter was very nice too, we offered to make us a smoothie that wasn't even on the menu, which were so good I can't even describe it. After we went to go on the rides at epcot so me and bailey went on mission earth, which was a ride that you had to go to the moon in a spaceship but you got to steer the ship. After we got off the ride my grandma felt sick and we had to go back to the hotel sadly. Unfortunately the fourth day was our last day, so we just hung around in the hotel till we
The person I interviewed was my mom, Maria Perez. I chose to interview my mom because we’re close, and I was curious to learn her story. Throughout my life, I had never heard her story until this interview. During this interview, I learned many things about events that I did not know. She told me about her life before coming to the United States and how it compares to living in the United States. She expands on her life after arriving in the United States and how it became her new home. My mom explained how she and my uncles were able to adapt to the US ways and how my grandparents were not able to adapt as much as they did. While interviewing her, some themes that arose were immigration, culture shock, and adapting. Her story tells of a young girl who did not know that her life was going to change completely when she moved to the United States.
I finally get to Orlando and boy does it feel good to see that Disneyland sign. We decided we would stay in a hotel for the night and go tomorrow. Knowing how much I want to go to Disneyland I am very tired too. We get to the hotel and there are people at the hotel selling Disneyland tickets everywhere. We ignore them and we go to the front desk, we get our room and go to our room. There is a huge TV in our room. It took me so long to fall asleep probably because I was so excited.
My family happens to be deeply religious, conservative and often closed minded about certain aspects of life. In other words, everything that they tend to support and believe in as a family unit, tends to be something I can not personally agree with. As anyone can imagine, this has deeply affected my interpersonal relationship with my family in a negative impact. As an adult, I have come to my own conclusions about my personal beliefs about life and what those entail for myself. These beliefs are usually the exact opposite of what I grew up with, much to the disappointment of my family which has created a deep divide between us. This has probably affected my relationship with my father the most, as he has always been the most outspoken about his disappointment.
The next day we started packing our bags for the trip. We all scrambled to get everything we needed for the plane ride and for the trip. We arrived at the airport then went through security and got on the plane. When we arrived in California I was very excited. We drove over to the hotel and got checked in and put our luggage in our rooms. After that we all got in the car to drive over to Disneyland.
We arrived at the park and the first ride we rode was rockin` roller coaster. This is a huge indoor ride with flashing lights and it shoots you out of a tunnel at
If you're lucky, the day your family decides to go to Disneyland the lines will be shorter. Unfortunately for us—we were not so lucky. Each line was at least an hour to an hour and a half long, especially for the rides that drew in a lot more children. While waiting my enthusiasm level for the ride slowly decreased but my anticipation level was still high. Once we were able to get aboard the ride, my family and I sat back and relaxed as the animated and moving simulators entertained us. Following the ride I felt better than before and I could tell my family did too. All of us couldn’t be more happy. We kept this same trend for the rest of the day. Once we left the park we were all tired and sad to go. But I knew I would be able to share this amazing experience with others later on in life.
Throughout history, women have been wrongly perceived as less capable than men of anything that does not involve homemaking or maternal issues. That being said, there are women leaders and activists that have defied these demeaning stereotypes, even since the beginning of time. These women include: Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Queen Elizabeth I, Sojourner Truth, and Coco Chanel.
In 2013 my family when on a Disney cruise in Florida. We went for a week and had the best time of our lives. Originally we went to Florida to just to say goodbye to your neighbor’s. My mom tricked us and when she tricks us it's pretty bad so…… Then later that day she said that we were going to drive around for a while so we get in an uber and ride to this big ship and what my brother said was are we going on the ship and my mom said no sorry maybe next time’’. But really we did, so my brother and I almost cried because it was going to be a week of lots of fun.
I have a very close relationship with my parents. My mother’s name is Becky she has always been very caring and she has stuck up for me ever since I was little and unable to do it myself. My Father’s name is Lonnie he has taught me how to be strong and has shown me how to do different activities like how to build stuff and fix cars. I tell my parents pretty much everything we have a very trusting relationship I never had a curfew and I was able to go where ever I wanted whenever I wanted as long as I let them know where I was going to be.
When I was eight years old my parents separated, and they got officially divorced when I was twelve. After my parents separated, my mother took on being a single-parent. My father gave up all his rights to my sister and I. Prior to my parents separating, my family was considered upper-middle class. My dad worked as a computer engineer, and my mom was a stay at home mother. After my parents split, my sister and I went from having everything to nothing in a day. My mom had to move back in with her parents until she could find a full-time job and a place for us to live. Because I have seen my mother struggle as a single-mother, I matured a lot faster than most children my age. Even though we struggled with money growing up, my mother always made it a point to go on vacation yearly with my sister and I; I have been to over 30 states because my mom loves to road trip. Additionally, it has always been a family tradition of ours to go to the state fair every year. Because of my family experience growing up, I am very independent. I also learned to appreciate the little things in life. My mom always taught my sister and I that time spent with family is far more valuable than materialistic things. My mother and I are very close to this day, and I will forever be grateful for everything she has done for my sister and me.
