Personal Narrative: South Beach Miami

That day, when I applied to South Dade was a choice that I didn't really care for at all. To me, it really didn't matter what school I go to, one bit but to finish high school. Until all my year's of being in South Dade. Not knowing what I will become in the future or what to do with my life at all one bit. So, I just started at the base and tried out for clubs and tried new things that I can take in. To give me a sign of what I want to be in life. So, after going to several clubs and noticing I have no interest in them. And just gave up. Till I heard about one club from a friend of mines in the hallway. As I was really interested because it was part of a hobby I like to do and that was cooking.

Where would you most like to live? I would love to live in Philadelphia,PA right by the Eagles stadium. The reason I would love to live here because I am a HUGE Eagles fan. I would love to go there and tailgate in the parking lot with other Eagles fans or buy season tickets and go every sunday with friends. If I can not make it to a game like monday or thursday I would still love to hear the fireworks go off and the announcer commentate the game.

About me: Growing up in Miami Beach, Florida, I’ve had a different perspective on demographic issues, the political process, and local politics than most. Currently, I am a junior at Miami Beach Senior High School where I am an avid participant in the National Speech and Debate Association, my school’s Student Government Association (SGA), and United States Grant Committee. Something different about me is that earlier this year I started a political action committee (PAC) called Teens for Teens. As the youngest director of a PAC in the country, I have definitely had some interesting experiences that other 16 year old students don't experience too often.

I am the happiest when me and my family go to the beach. I love going to the beach because it is so relaxing and you kind of put all of your worries and problems away. My favorite part about going to Florida is laying on the beach and listening to the waves crashing on the sand, it is just so relaxing. Last summer my dad, my grandma and I all went to Florida and just had a really great time. We layed on the beach, went out to eat at some really good restaurants and got ice cream almost every night.

My favorite place is San Clemente in California. I remember my first time going there falling in love with that town. I have a friend who invited me to come over his house, and I went two years ago. Since that occasion San Clemente turned into my favorite place to be. In this paper, I am going to explain a little bit of the background of this story. When I first got here I remember passing hard times as an international student since I could not get use to speaking the language, living in a different country and living a different life style. During my first week in school in The United States I knew a friend from California whom always hang out with, so was on spring break when I got to go to San Clemente for the first time in my entire life. I will describe further how is that place like and why is my favorite.

When I travel I like to have a place that I can call home. It has to have the comfort, relaxation, and all the characteristics of my real home.

I live on a beautiful island in the Caribbean with pristine white beaches and turquoise waters. People save their pennies and their vacation days for a chance to visit where I call home now. Moving from a vibrant city filled with young professionals and happy hours galore. Always something to do, somewhere to be, someone to meet and full with many opportunities.

“Miami, are you ready?” I could barely hear the head referee’s voice over the sole thought in my head: “Beat her to the ball.” I was one of the fastest girls in the South, outrun only by a veteran on my own team. Once the referee deemed both teams ready, he began the countdown. “Brooms Down…” I kneeled onto the floor and laid my broom flat on the ground. “Ready…” I shifted my weight onto the balls of my feet and gripped my broom as tight as I could. I was ready. “Brooms up!” I took off.

I was so excited to be going back to Florida at Christmas it is beautiful there at that time of year, and this time my aunt and her family were coming with us. It had been so long since we had been to Florida. We used to go nearly every year but now that moneys gotten a bit tighter we don’t go as often as we used to. During the times we’ve been in Florida there has been a few major attacks on different places around the world. The first time I had ever went to Florida was just a few months after I was born and while we were there two planes crashed into the twins towers and killed thousands of people in New York. I had also just flown out to Florida a few days before the Glasgow airport attack but when we went this time we didn’t expect that

It was a cold windy morning in Byron Center Michigan, I wasn't going to school, but one place I was going was Orlando Florida. I couldn't wait to go to Disney World and ride the fast, twisty, scary rides and wait in long lines of course.

I have a lengthy history with Urban Promise Miami. I first joined their program when I was ten years old along with my brother and cousins. The mission of their organization is to equip Miami’s children and young adults with the necessary skills to attain academic achievement, life management, spiritual growth and leadership rooted in the Christian faith, and that is a goal that I have become testament to them achieving.

One of my most enjoyable and exciting adventures was traveling to Destin, Florida. Walking on the extremely fine soft sand feels like paradise. Meanwhile, the sound of waves is crashing and the cool sea breeze brushes by. Along the beach stood a booth where tourist could register to go parasailing. My boyfriend Michael and I registered and anxiously awaited our turn. Suddenly, everyone was loaded onto a tiny boat in hopes of reaching a bigger boat out deeper. Reaching our destination everyone had to climb a rope ladder as it was moving with the rough waves. As they strapped us in, we prayed we could come back in one piece. As the boat slowly started to move I grasped the rope, realizing that an inch-thick string was the only thing between me

As the airplane touched down in sunny Florida, I knew this will be a start to a new life. Stepping out of the airport, I began to take in my new surroundings in the sunshine state. This state is nowhere near New York, the hot weather gluing onto my skin was just dreadful. Glancing around, I noticed a lot of elderly folks taking their sweet time to travel to their destination. Florida is all about driving, which I was not familiar with at that time. Florida drivers are known for driving slow; the light turns green and then they continue to hold back traffic. The weather is horrible humid and unbreathable; especially with hurricanes and tornadoes that are always lurking. Florida is quite tedious; the beaches makes you weary and make you feel

What comes to mind when someone mentions Miami? One might picture palm trees or a hot sunny day. While there is an abundance of those to be found, that is only the tip of the iceberg. If there is one place that captures the full essence of Miami, the commerce, culture, and conservation, it would have to be the neighborhood of South Beach, Florida.

If, I could choose where I would like to visit I would chose Washington, D.C. I went to Washington, D.C. for the summer I would like to go to Washington to get on the Metro, and so I can go to the malls and the amusement parks. This is why I would love to go Washington D.C again this summer.
