I just started working at Oyster Harbors Club a few weeks ago, but my experience there has been wonderful. It has been an honor life guarding on the beach, and getting to know all the families and the children attending camp. I enjoy working in such a friendly family environment, and I am excited to work next summer as well. My educational plans for the future consist of acquiring my bachelors degree in biology that would help me in pursuing a medical career as a doctor. My passion has always been helping others whether it is at work, making sure people are safe, or giving back to my community. After becoming a certified doctor, I plan on specializing in dermatology. I am a very hard

This happening several times the glacier eventually melted and what was left was the nantucket island itself but not an island yet just a hill coming up from the land and then the glaciers all started to melt and the water surrounded the hill creating an island which is known as nantucket.

Alaska and Rhode Island are two states within the continental United States. I personally have visited Rhode Island, and loved the scenery and simplicity of life there. I loved the small fishing towns that give way to small rolling hills and picturesque scenery. Although I have never travelled to Alaska my boyfriend has on occasion to visit family. We have jokingly spoken of the vast difference in size, as well as cultural and climate differences both states have that make them unique.
Cranston is a city with great people. It is home to two of our state’s Premier dining and shopping centers- Garden City and Chapel View. and is the third largest city in the state of Rhode Island.

Connecticut is a very pleasing New England state with a very interesting background. It’s located in the North East part of USA, surrounded by Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New York (known as the TriState surface). When one thinks of Connecticut they may think of Yale University, institution where one of my great grandfathers were graduated, a prestigious pulmonologist where he was specialized of Tuberculosis, his name is Theodore Learnard Badger. A quick fact that you probably didn’t know about Connecticut is that it’s called the Nutmeg State.

The US Virgin islands is a group of about 60 chiefly unpopulated islands, the four biggest of which are called St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. John and Water Island.

The first individual that I spoke with was one of my best friends, Nathan. He was born and raised in Montana, though he moved from town to town as a child. He told me he thinks people call this state the "last best place" because there's no sales tax, everything is cheaper here, and it's much safer. There is a sense of community in Montana more than in any other state because the cities are much smaller.
The East Coast: Maryland, DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida. Specifically the DMV area, I resided in Maryland for the first 15 years; allowing me to explore various states along the Atlantic Ocean. In the nation’s capital, I witnessed the beauty of urbanization in uptown while viewing the Greek/ Roman influenced buildings within the National Mall. Only an hour drive, Virginia taught me history in Williamsburg, but physics in Busch Gardens and King’s Dominion. Above the Mason-Dixon line lies Pennsylvania. I survived three days in the wilderness of Ligonier’s Outdoor-Ed Camp. Continuing north towards New Jersey, we strolled around the Atlantic City boardwalk as if we hopped around every property in Monopoly. Congested streets and luminescent buildings fill New York City; in addition to this populated city, one little island contains the hospitable Statue of Liberty.

Ever thought, that the Big Island and Oahu were the exactly the same. Well you’re wrong. The Big Island is the youngest so it is still growing but the Oahu is older.

The Big Island may be bigger than Oahu, but there is a few difference and similarities.
