My Trip To El Salvador

The first thing I smell every time I walk into my grandma’s home is her perfume and food simmering away on the stove top. It’s a scent that I come to be familiar with over the years and it is something that I now connect to a feeling of safety and love. My grandma, Alba, is one of my rocks that I am able lean on when faced with troubling times. She is someone I am able to call on the phone to recount my day to her, seek advice, and just listen to all the different stories oh her when growing up in El Salvador. She is a person who I believe has such a huge influence on my life and taught me so many life lessons that I hold to this day.

I was born in a small town called Sesori in the country of El Salvador. El Salvador lays in the global south and it is extremely crime infested. I came to the United States of America when I was a small child; however, growing up in El Salvador allowed me to witness many of my neighbors and family members suffer from insufficient access to medicine. Knowing this has made me become a hardworking individual who acknowledges the opportunities and blessing that the United States offers its people. I wish to one day become a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner and activist for woman's protection all around the world through an international humanitarian non-governmental organization called Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders). I want to help individuals worldwide where the need is greatest. The world is in need of help with the

El Salvador is a country on the Pacific coast of Central America, and borders Guatemala to the west and Honduras to the north and east (Geography). It is known for being the smallest Central American country and has an area equal to that of Massachusetts, it is also the only one with an Atlantic coastline (Geography). The majority of El Salvador 's land is made up of a chain of volcanoes that expands throughout the Northern side of the country. The current government of El Salvador is a Republican one.

Right after graduating, I left the country for the first time and traveled to Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Isla Mujeres is small a tropical island near the coast of Cancun. I dove to the bottom of the sea floor and climbed to the top of massive rocks. The island is about five miles long, so the majority of people there use golf carts to get around. I also pursued my interest in my photography while I was there and captured my whole trip. I spent hours editing the film and ended up with a stunning production. I worked for The Tylor Bailey Band at the Country On The River Music Festival, and gained a lot of experience from the opportunity. I worked my first job as a Sales Associate at Urban Outfitters. I took as many shifts as I could over to the summer

I am not a traditional student who, after high school graduation, is sent to the university to become a professional. I did not have that privilege. Due to life circumstances, I was forced to work to help my mother, who is a single mother, to support my little sister and my older brother who still lives in my native country, El Salvador. To clarify, he had medical problems when he was born and had to be submitted to multiple surgeries when he was little. Reason why, nowadays, he utilizes a wheelchair to move around and takes daily medicines to keep his sugar levels normal. In addition, medical expenses are cheaper in El Salvador than in this country. Even though I am in the work field already and I am a potential employee to be promoted to

When I was in 9th grade, my family went on a missions trip to Nicaragua. This was not an ordinary one though. Instead of just going for a week or two, we went down for six months as a whole family. My parents, my brother, my 3 sisters and I all went into this experience wanting to serve, but not knowing quite what it would look like. When we got there, we encountered extreme poverty unlike anything we had seen here in the United States. While there, we painted countless schools, did art projects at countless others, worked with the local lending libraries, and simply loved on the kids down there to the best of our abilities. When the trip was over, I left with a feeling that I had somehow failed. I felt as though I had not given my all to

In this paper, I will explain about the country of Ethiopia and El Salvador’s language, calendar, religion, food, holiday, and flag. Ethiopia was formerly known as "Abyssinia” until the 20th century. Ethiopia is located in the horn of Africa (East Africa). Addis Ababa is a capital city of Ethiopia. It is the only African country to defeat a European colonial power, and retain its sovereignty as an independent country. El Salvador is a small Central American nation. It is located in the continent of Central America. The capital city of El Salvador is San Salvador.

As I stepped off the airplane into the third world country of Peru, I could see how different it was compared to the United States. I had embarked on a trip with my church group, Mission Manos Hermanas, to go help out the poorest place in Peru, Villa El Salvador. As I went through the outdated security checks, I could see the employees stealing people's belongings as they opened their bags. This showed me how desperate people are for quick cash due to an unstable economic period. After we got through all that chaos, we got into a taxi, which was just a motorcycle with a wagon attached to it. It took us to the peaceful missionary home where we would stay until we went to Villa El Salvador. We were received by three nuns and one priest.

My family loves to go back to el Salvador to visit family. We go there for vacations each year in the summer. The past two years we went. My father’s cousin recommended a resort. He said “for your children’s to enjoy and for you guys to relax”. He also paid for our stance in the hotel which was 1 week and 3 days. He paid for all my family but my dad paid for my grandmas because he said that it was already too much. At first it was a little challenging trying to find the place, because it’s far from where we live but it was great at the end because the hotel service is also great. When we check in the people are polite and their system is fast, because it took us around five minutes to get our documents and our rooms ready. We went to our rooms and everything was great. Honestly I didn’t expect a good service when my cousin decides to paid

Growing up was rough without a father in my life. As well, my mother was either at school or working half the time. I would be stuck with my grandparents, and I was the first grandson in both sides of my families so they never knew how to manage but buy me toys which I never really used. In some ways they spoiled me rotten. Right until my little sister Olivia and my cousin Roger were born. Then, I wasn’t getting spoiled anymore and was forgotten. However, this brings me to a time when I just reached third grade I was 8 years and my grandmother Sandra Simmons my mom’s mother. Decided it was time for me to give up my toys and become a big boy. So, I began to throw a tantrum and ask what the reason was. Well little, did I know my grandmother did a lot of missionaries to El Salvador way

Have you ever been to a different country? Visiting another country—especially a third world country—can be a life changing experience. This past summer, summer of 2016, I had the amazing opportunity to go to Nicaragua on a mission trip. A month or so after I got back home I realized how genuinely awesome it was there in Nicaragua. The people were so loving and welcoming. As we walked from house to house, we would greatly be welcomed in by someone saying, “Come in! Come in! Sit down” as he or she pulled out chairs for us to sit in. We would begin sharing the gospel with these wonderful people and they loved it. Even though Nicaragua is a third world country, in became my favorite place. The love of everyone made the trip awesome. There was

Addiction to alcohol may be rooted in a need to drink and simply replacing it with water and other non-alcoholic drinks can help improve for a healthier lifestyle;

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 have all visited a place that has impacted our lives in a good way or in a bad way. Many have memories from their childhood home, while others have unforgettable memories from a trip they did to the beach. All of our experiences are different because they impact us in different ways. For me a special place that I visited that is very memorable to me is Los Planes de Renderos which is a city in El Salvador. Los Planes De Renderos in El Salvador is a memorable place to me because I got to experience the beautiful city with my family , It’s where I got to try my favorite food which are pupusas directly from where they originally come from, and because I got to experience the celebration of independence day in El Salvador.

Los planes de Renderos is a small town located in San Salvador city, El Salvador, where you can enjoy with your family or Friends. Many people don’t know where to go on their vacations or to spend a good time with family a friends, but Los planes de Renderos is the right place to have: good views, delicious food and variety of handicrafts.
