I came to this country as a small child from Uganda, naively unaware of the significance of my journey to America,
I collected my carry ons and exited the plane quickly not knowing we would have to face long customs and finding our bags. Soon it was over though and I can remember stepping out of the airport into the fresh air of the beautiful island.
After everyone got ready to go, we got our bags and headed down stairs to check out of our rooms. All of that was finished it was time for us to go to Cancun, we all loaded up into a "shuttle" they called it and drove to the airport. It was about a twenty minute drive. When we got to the airport we unloaded all of our things from the "shuttle," and headed into the airport. When we got inside the airport we went over to baggage check, and they scanned our passports, weighed our bags, and then sent them off to be loaded into the plane. Once we got all done with that we made our way to security, and they checked out carry on's and out electronics. After we finished with security we then walked over to where all the stores and food places were located. Me, my mom, and my brother had an omelet for breakfast it was pretty good for airport food. After everything was finished we then went over to the place where we sit and wait until we board the plane. We waited for about ten minutes, and then Me, My grandma, My cousin Sean, and my grandpa pre boarded so we could save seats for all fourteen of us. Everyone had finally boarded the plane and after about twenty minutes of waiting, the plane then took off and we were on our way to Cancun, Mexico. A three and a half hour flight felt like forever, we went over New Orleans, St.Louis, and for about an hour and thirty
First, we had to go to the airport which was Kci. We had all of our luggage packed and we were ready to get to Florida so we can get on the boat.

There are events in life, which can change yourself or your way of thinking. As for me, I think the major change in my life occurred when I moved from France to America. This change has entirely affected my personality. Why? I arrived in the United States during the summer of 2002. It was really hard for me since my parents had only told me about the move in April of that year. Therefore, I did not have the time to prepare myself psychologically. My parents had talked about coming here for a very long time, even before I was born. Everything started in 1973. Indeed, my parents came from Iran to Europe in order to finish their studies and then to return back home. However, even at that time, they had not set their mind as to where they
Transitions are never an easy thing to conquer. It is often hard and stressful to cope with changes to one’s surrounding, but in the cases in which one manages to conquer this obstacle, elevation of knowledge and experience are great results gained from this achievement. I originally came from Africa and recently moved to the United States to join my mother and my step father. This great change in the things I had become accustomed to in my daily life was not easy, furthermore taking into account the fact that I had never experienced a transition so little as shifting from one residence to another.
There are many significant parts of my life that have had a huge impact on my personality, but there is one that has not only affected me, but has changed me for the better. My personal life changing experience was coming to America. For me, this bridge between my old life and new life is a shaky bridge that I attempted to cross and entered a whole new realm of life which changed everything. The decision about coming to America has taught me how to respect other people, be more responsible, and be more loving towards various friends and families. It has also helped me adapt to the new life that I’m about to begin. It was so unexpected. Out of nowhere my parents broke the news: “We’re going to America!” Living in a big town of Bhopal,
One thing was certain - I could count on was the advice of my family. Coming from a closely knit community, family support was a surety. They provided the support needed to my many cousins who embarked on this journey before me. No matter what doors being a Hamptonian was about to open, I could never forget them. Their sheer determination to see me succeed at anything I put my mind to provided me with enough motivation for the mission.
Following the Civil War, Confederate soldiers return home to “cope with the consequences of their defeat.” (Goldfield, ed., The American Journey: A History of the United States, 451)Upon their return, they notices the downfall and destruction of their homes and towns, economic devastation, death, and poverty. Transforming their “struggle into a symbol of courage” (Goldfield, 452) they sought for redemption, Reconstruction. Having to seek shelter with their families, the ex-confederate soldiers feared the revenge of the former slaves for the many years of slavery and mistreatment. They believed that improvement of African Americans as a direct challenge to white superiority. They could learn to accept the destruction of families, farms, and fortunes, but not racial order. White southerners were determined to keep control over their governments. “The war may have ended slavery, but white southerners were determined to preserve

Life is about making choices, but some of them can even change our life. Two years ago I decided to come to America for my higher studies in Western Kentucky University. Although I knew it was really a challenge to me, this significant decision that I’ve made was going to change everything about my life and me. There are many things in life that can change the course of a person’s life. It can either make a positive impact or a negative impact on a person’s life. It’s always best to have the positive impact though. For me I have had a positive experience that has changed my life forever and that is coming to a different land and culture.
Becoming a member of society is shown a lot through your interactions with others. Not having these interactions would cause us to miss out on many things in life. Meeting new people can change our lives in positive ways and we will never know unless we talk to them. When do we learn about the importance of interacting? and how do we learn to branch out? They are not taught directly in school. It may be able to be said that it is the parent's job to make sure that their child is well equipped with the answers. The only problem is that there is a limit of learning that can come from explaining to someone. That is why I feel that it is important for everyone to have experiences that open them up to the world. For me, the questions were answered
