On July 23, 2015 I experienced something that was extremely life changing for me. This day I accomplished something I have been dreaming about doing for over 10 years. The day I got to see my favorite band live in concert was the day that I will never forget. The goal for a lot of people is to see their favorite band in person and to say I got to do that is amazing to me. My experience seeing my favorite band live will be remembered forever as being one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life. One day, a couple of months before the concert I was scrolling through Facebook where I can access Incubus’s band website. It showed that they had tour dates coming up. I immediately started to feel my heart pounding in my chest and in my hand, the computer mouse started clicking away searching for details of their upcoming tour. At this time, Incubus hadn’t made any new music or toured in many years, so up until this day, I was convinced the odds of me getting a chance to see them was not going to happen. Once I saw Incubus’s announcement on the Internet about their upcoming concerts, I knew this was my chance to achieve one of my dreams. I studied the webpage and found out that the tickets wouldn’t be going on sale for another month. So, I impatiently waited for the day I could purchase the tickets online. Unfortunately, the day the tickets went on sale I was at work and wouldn’t be available to access the website to purchase the tickets. But I was not going to let that stop
It was May 25, 2013 when I, accompanied by my friends, went on a journey that would change my
Fatefully, on a Friday night, the day before the concert, I was currently on the computer at my house. I received a text around seven o’clock at night. One of my friends had texted me, saying that they were outside my house. As I went to the door, I saw that my friend, along with five other people I knew were standing there. “Want to go to a concert tomorrow? Alt-J is playing” one of them said as they came inside my house. At first I was confused and caught off guard a little. Perplexed at the situation, I still said yes. However, this concert
On February 14, 2015, I went to my first concert. It was also the first time I have ever visited Las Vegas, Nevada. During this trip, I was 11 years old. Above all the car drive, the stay, and the concert was a fantastic adventure.
Going back in time, memories of an eventful day during my junior year in high school remains a historical change in my life. December 5, 2014, remains to this day as one of the most impactful days of my life; it was the day of
On July 23, 2015, I walked into the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, IL to see a rock concert that was extremely life changing for me. As soon as I stepped foot on the hard-dirty concrete leading into the stadium, I know this was going to be a night I will never forget and a night where one of my dreams would come true. My heart was pounding out of my chest with excitement. I was about to see my favorite band Incubus live in concert.
Going to a concert is an experience incomparable to any other. Here it is, the moment, every concert goer has been waiting for, the artist coming onto the stage. Hearts begin to race as the music builds each fleeting second before the artist comes out. Smoke fills the dark stage illuminated by the band's tour video playing. Then, in the center of the stage, doors begin to open revealing four singing boys. Crying and screaming
A month before the concert, I got Metallica tickets for my birthday. I got the tickets and about thirty pictures of me through the whole level 6 season. I loved Metallica, I would blare it through my Bluetooth speaker as loud as I could. Everytime I listened to the band, I would sing along or head bang. The only thing was that I had to wait a whole month before I could attend the concert.
One of my best friends had bought an extra ticket to a concert and she had asked me to go. Well, it was a ticket to my most favorite band of all time, Panic! At the Disco. They are so talented. When she asked I could barely speak I was so astounded that she had asked me and not one of her other friends that wasn’t such a letdown like me. I couldn’t believe
My first concert was also my first time seeing a pop band. Every teenager loved One Direction, including me, and dreamed of seeing them live one day. This experience meant a lot to me since it was a band that I had loved for a very long time. The tickets were a gift from my mother, Melissa, and I went with my sister, Melisvette. During that, I realized how happy concerts made me and got a job so that I could continue experiencing moments like these. What I didn’t want to experience, though, was the price it was to go to pop concerts.
One of the most exhilarating moments of my entire life was my very first time at a roller coaster theme park. Growing up I would always see commercials on television of children and adults alike having a sparkling Colgate smile on their faces and enjoying themselves, so when my family decided we were going to Islands of Adventure for vacation. I was like a child who just received a cookie out of the cookie jar. Even though I was 21 years old at the time, I was extremely trilled. I packed my luggage like a stuff turkey on Thanksgiving Day and I was ready to take on this adventure.
As a foodie, eating foods is my favorite thing and I also find my speciality in eating, that is tasting food and know the condiment in every dishes. When I was a child, I usually go to kitchen to see adults cooking. My intention is not to learn how to cook, but to know where the dishes that I felt very delicious from out of curiosity. As time passed, I knew the recipe of every dishes that I like gradually and learned how to improve it taste. I born at a country that have many delicious foods and the cuisine like to use many kinds of condiments. Through the process of knowing the recipe of cuisine, I also learned many condiments and their use.
As a child, I was able to spend a lot of time with my mother in her classroom. Now, as I look back, these days were incredible. They could even be described as my favorite memories. I remember the night before going to her work, I could not sleep. I was overtly excited to see Mom’s first and second grade students, giddy with excitement about what activities she would have me help with. When we would step into her bright and colorful room, I would instinctively run to the whiteboard and replace it’s clean, blank surface with the days date. This was very important to my young self. So important that I would re-write it again and again to make sure it was absolutely perfect before I would change the weather board and evaluate the day’s lunch menu. Mom would then run off to her morning meeting; this is when I often found myself sitting in her rocking chair, practicing reading the book her and her students were discussing. This way, I would be able to read it flawlessly when all of her small students were all sitting below me on the carpet. As I got older I continued to help Mom in her classroom over the summer to prepare for the upcoming school year. It became one of my favorite activities, something I looked forward to all summer long. I helped her plan her themes; she often chose blue and green colors. Likewise, owls were typically the animal of her choosing. Although, if it were completely up to me, I would have chosen that my animal be a lion so I could call my classroom the
Over the weekend my family and I and Maddie went to the AT&T Park. I enjoyed this experience a lot and would definitely go again. At first we walked around the first level to see what this was all about, but we got there right at 10 (when it started) because we had to get to a soccer game, but all the booths were still setting up so we couldn’t really do that much so we decided to go down to the field where big booths were set up. The first booth we went to was where a man was setting up a long tube and he said that it was like a huge vacuum and that he is going to shoot a ping pong ball against the wall. This was a lot louder than I had expected it at first, but it was really cool to see that something I would think sucks things in (a vacuum) could shoot things out. Then we moved on to a booth where a man had laid out metal items(a spatula, a spoon, and a slinky) with two strings ties to them. The man there told us to take the string and wrap it around your fingers and put your fingers in your ear and then bang the metal against something hard, a table or the round. At first I tried this with a spoon and I heard a cool sound and he explained to us that the vibration from the spoon hitting the table went up the string and directly into my ear. Then he told me to try this with the slinky, by brother tried it before and told me that was the coolest thing he had ever heard and that I should definitely try it. And it was the coolest thing I have ever heard. It is really hard to
Every summer, I visit my grandma's cabin in Estes Park. We have many traditions, like hiking and going to the Old Fashioned Candy Shoppe. But one of my favorites is when we drive down to Fun City and do golf, go carts and the Super Slide! Golf is always fun. They have eighteen holes of hills and tunnels. I win occasionally. Oddly enough, my cousin, Bracken, wins a lot. And he is only four! He doesn't even aim! I win at go karts half the time, the other half I start behind them and can never seem to catch up! And the superslide! That thing is like a hundred feet tall! Not to mention the river! It is so beautiful; it splits the Fun City complex in half. The bumper boats, go karts, golf course, and arcade are on the far side. The two Super
In elementary school, I wasn’t the kind of person to participate regularly. I didn’t bring cupcakes on my birthday and I was always incredibly quiet around new people. So I was surprised with myself when I decided to sign up for summer WRAP. If you’re unfamiliar with what WRAP is, it's a program where they entertain you for a couple hours. The only problem was, none of my (three) friends were attending. By the time I realized this, it was too late to quit. So I was going to be spending my entire summer with a bunch of strangers.
