The First Years Of My Life

In my early years, I hadn't given much thought to the depth of this city, only knowing bits and pieces of the puzzle that I was trying to put together in my head. However, as the years went by, I grew accustomed to the city, its people, and its ways. This city influenced and shaped my persona into the individual I am today. This city taught me a great deal of what

The ideal opportunity came along in my seventh-grade history class when I received a project to write about what I admire about New York City. I was a citizen here but I was no different from a tourist. I made it my purpose to see the “city that never sleeps.” I had a

Ever since I was a little girl, New York City always seemed like a place that was magical. My family’s TV on Thanksgiving was always broadcasting the enormous balloons, extravagant floats, and millions of people lining the streets of the city for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Freshman year, excited squeals and giggles erupted from my brother and I after our parents told us that we would be visiting New York City for the first time to witness the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. After several months of waiting and lots of turbulence, our plane hit the landing with a thunk at Laguardia airport and reality set in: we were in the city. Walking out of the airport was absolutely surreal. The sights, sounds, and smells surrounded my family and

Three days after my high school graduation, Randolph and I spent a day in a whole new city. Being from Roselle, I had never really been to one of the most beautiful city such as downtown Chicago. Spending the day in Chicago was like discovering a new way of living life that I had only heard from siblings and the news. I checked my bags to make sure I didn’t leave anything essential behind and I checked them five more times. we were sleepy during the flight as we arrived at the airport and made our way to the gate. The streets are filled with an atmosphere that is like a child on a shopping spree in a candy store. I was thrilled as I realized that I was in one of the biggest airport in the United States. watching the Chicago Cubs win the World Series was the most amazing feeling.

Our first stop was a city that did not have very many local attractions that we were interested in seeing. It is home to the Oakland Raiders and Golden State Warriors. Too bad we did not stop by these two stadiums to see what they looked like in-person. I was able to take a picture of one side of the downtown areas that we visited. I am glad that it was not congested during the time that we explored the area. All of the buildings appeared from the outside to be run down and unattractive which really disappointed me. They were also created using light colors and stacked very close together. For my first time visiting the area, it did not seem at all as it appears to look like on television. I guess that is why it is important to not

City and country are so remotely different but vastly intertwined. Nature’s Metropolis, written by William Cronon, takes a deep look at the role of Chicago and its progression during the 19th century. Cronon is a geography and history professor at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. He thoroughly enjoys studying the workings of humans and the natural world and is involved in organizations related to that. As is evident today, Chicago has benefited both positively and negatively, from the railroad and water transportation which in turn helped various industries survive. With these aspects of the city came improvements in technology, soaring economies in the various industries, and Chicago becoming more connected to the global world. That being said, Cronon not only focuses of Chicago’s growth but also on the growth of America and the creation of markets and developments that occurred because Chicago encompasses only a small part of our ever-expanding world. Overall, Cronon focused on Chicago’s changing role in regard to transportation systems and the possessions closely related to it.

While considering spending a holiday or a weekend with the family in a beautiful city, New York City should be at the top of the list. A considerable number of people get puzzled by the tall buildings, well structured highways and the well light streets when they visit for the same time. When planning a tour to New York City, one might wonder how a human being could have possibly built such tall buildings. The virtue that New York City is one of the largest cities in the world makes a person think that it is a paradise. In most cases, it is highly likely that a person who has never been to New York City could easily get lost due to the size of the city. The expansiveness of the city has generated economic gains.

The sounds of the city penetrated the walls of the cab as we drove through the streets of Manhattan. I could hardly wait to partake in the action that was happening outside. The buildings themselves were an amazing site to behold. The buildings took on personalities of their own. Each building was bigger and more graceful than the next. When lights were added to the mix it was a dazzling combination. The city itself felt like a great big hug, and I felt overwhelmed by its power. The city allowed me to become part of it just like many others many years ago who immigrated to this awesome city. As I was looking out of the cab I finally got to see in person the sight of all sights; Times Square. The main juncture of

6 years ago, when I came to the land of freedom and liberty, I was mesmerized about how well NYC is well-developed than in my home country, Bangladesh. As my family and I see those neon lights, and upstanding crowd of vehicles; I felt jolly due to a fact that, I was in an urban-like city. At first, my family and I used to live in Woodhaven Blvd. The private house feels cozy during those winter nights.

Growing up, the only constant was change. My formative years were spent in very diverse environments that were polar opposites of each other, from the San Francisco Bay Area to Orange County, CA to Dallas, TX. Having experienced the various beliefs and ideologies held in these vastly different settings, I have developed a more nuanced understanding of the world around me.

The start of our trip we decided to visit the Chicago River and learn about how it is an important asset to the city. We saw numerous boats traveling and people walking by the river. It gave us a chance to look at nature’s beauty in the heart of the city. When walking by the river, it gave me a soothing feeling from the busy city

At the age of seventeen, my parents and I decided to visit Washington D.C. Growing up in a little Italian hamlet, a sense of awe invaded me. The city had its own aura of history, music, and politics, which radiate vibrancy and dynamicity.

Manifest Destination uses the concepts of urbanization and tourism to explain the evolution of American culture. Gruen (2014) identifies Chicago as the center of urbanization in the US and this attracts domestic and international tourists to the city. The intention of these tourists was to explore the

For years, I convinced myself that the story of my life began when I arrived in America at eleven months old. I tumbled through the clichéd white-picket-fence childhood, never realizing how impossible it was to completely discard the first year of my infancy. While I had always known about being adopted from China, I did not fully comprehend the weight of this detail until my late teenage years.

Has every individual dream and picture how they want their life to be when they reach adulthood. This is my story, after I graduated from high school I got Married and as a woman I wanted to have 2-3 beautiful children 's a couple of years after I got married. Well it did not work out as I planned it to be. Six months later after the man that I married had to leave me behind for a couple of months in the states while I continue my education by attending Aladdin beauty college in Lawton Oklahoma. Two weeks after he left to go to Germany I woke up feeling very sick to my stomach I was very nauseated and I will have dizzy spells and it time. That morning I went to cosmetology school
