My Vacation Experience

It was 1:30 in the afternoon, and my 2nd grade class had just returned from lunch when the phone began to ring. My teacher informed me that it was time to return home, where I would prepare and pack for my vacation to China. This would be my first international flight, and I was unable to contain my excitement. In the year 2010, my father and I visited our relatives in Beijing, China. My ingenuous 7-year-old self had no idea what awaited me in this foreign country. Before boarding the aircraft at

Before taking my last vacation, I was almost convinced that affordability and excitement could not exist in the same sentence in today’s economy. After several failed attempts of planning for an inexpensive getaway, I decided to store the idea in the compartments of my mind. Nevertheless, the opportunity presented itself six months ago in the form of an invitation. That’s right! I was finally going to get the mini vacation I was in search of, with all the bells and whistles in one package.

most incredible summer that I would never forget began on June 22, 2016. It was about 4:30 in the morning when my aunt and parents woke me up so we can catch our first flight at the Richmond International Airport. This was my first time in nine years that I could go back to China to visit my relatives and grandparents. On this trip, I was going with my Aunt Ying and my grandmother because my parents were too busy with work to take me. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the Richmond International Airport

This previous summer, the summer of twenty fifteen going into my senior year of highschool, I volunteered at the local summer camp at my church called “Vacation Bible School.” The camp started on Monday the tenth and finished on the fourteenth of August. I attended this camp when I was younger and figured it was a good opportunity to get some volunteer hours for college and I love kids especially young children, so this all seemed like a good idea. The summer camp had kids that ranged from the ages

As a young child, almost every Summer I attended Vacation Bible School (VBS). My mother and father never forced me into conforming to religion, rather they wanted religion to find me. Therefore, whenever my mother would ask if I wanted to go this Summer, she wouldn't force me to go; it was my choice and my path. At VBS, we sang, danced, and learned about the life of Jesus Christ. Large portions of the classes were spent discussing parables and scripture about a plethora of topics in the bible: love

My Typical Vacation vs. My Dream Vacation I take a vacation every year, and every year it's the same thing – a week of camping at a campground one hour from our home. But I dream of a vacation in which I take a cruise to some exotic location or stay at an all-inclusive resort on an island where I can be pampered and thrilled at the same time. Both of these vacations are good, and both certainly offer me time away from work in which I can have a respite from impending deadlines, a demanding

in our lives. Life is about our experiences. It is important to explore the world whenever we get the opportunity, but we must look at the world through a new perspective in order to truly see it. Walter Percy indirectly tells us, the most worthwhile kinds of experiences are not the ones we plan, but the ones we don’t quite expect to happen. My mother planned a vacation for my family and I looking for that once in a lifetime experience. She decided that experience would take place in Hawaii, the

people with disabilities, those opportunities come less. I think it would be neat for disabled to get the opportunity to have a vacation like my family and I have experienced. It could be informational or factual, fun and be a great experience. I am proposing to start a fundraiser, and organize a trip to help the disabled, so they may get the opportunity to go on vacation, an opportunity that they may not have. It may be difficult for them to get up and go out, so if given the chance to

Steubenville Ohio my whole life. Growing up in Steubenville has showed me that I don’t want to spend the rest my life here. After I graduate from EGCC for radiology I plan on moving to Alabama. I plan on moving to Alabama because I have family there and being there gives me a comfortable feeling. I am very big on family oriented. I have two brothers and two sisters and lots of cosines. I get a lot of personality traits from my mom. She has taught me to not be afraid and to go after my dreams. Family

some way whether it be emotionally or physically. From one memory to another, good or bad, develops the entity of a person’s personality or logic. I considered one of my worst memories a favorite memory because, from that experience, I gained development as an individual. The start of that development occurred on vacation without my parents attending. Like any other child, I became very enthusiastic of the whole idea of freedom and self-guidance. After the majority of the trip, I became uninterested
