Trip To Washington

Most events and places of historical value nowadays holds little value in our lives. We confine ourselves to our interstates and highways, following the long line of motel chains stopping for maybe two minutes to take a picture just to say we were there. We take nothing away from these sites that is of real value. We barely scratch at the surface of information and true meaning of what happened at these historical sites. Rinker Buck explains his own experience with removing himself from this cultural norm

Washington's indubitable virtue, wise judgment, and superlative record of service can easily be seen to have united a disparate country, lending legitimacy to the government.

A week before spring break my dad proposed that we go to Las Vegas. So that following Tuesday we boarded a red eye out of Dallas, Texas and headed to the city of entertainment. First, we checked into the New York-New York Hotel & Casino. As we walked throughout the hotel I was in sensory overload: there were lights flashing, people yelling, and cigarettes burning. From then on I identified Las Vegas as a fascinating place.

Why do you want to go to Washington D.C.? Give at least 3 reasons why.

However, one paper by Simon P Newman, believes Washington embraced the role of a monarch. This seems to be partly true if one looks close enough. Simon says, “On his journey from Mount Vernon to New York City, local dignitaries and militia units received Washington on the outskirts of almost every town through which he passed, and often the local citizenry welcomed their president as he passed under a triumphal arch. These rituals were strikingly similar to those employed to welcome English monarchs on their "royal progresses" and their entries into London for their coronations.” (Newman 484) These shows that Washington was embracing these grand ceremonies being presented to him. However, he was a hero to the American people and his previous

Oh, come on, what in the world could be better than an expedition to a state filled with history? New York is full of action, stories, and anecdotes; wondrous things someone could wish to experience. Washington D.C. is an opportunity to connect with the past, socialize with other people, gain experience, and have memories to share after the trip. It’s a once in a lifetime experience, and missing out on the action is the wrong way to go. No, this isn’t an illusion. It’s an offer that would rarely be asked, but you could surely be destined to accept it. That is why we chose you, specifically, to join us. Why hesitate when you could already be registering for this insane adventure?

It was an early July Morning when me and my family were driving to the airport. I was shaking with excitement when i had my coffee in my left hand and a breakfast burrito in my right hand. Airport gates is all i saw when we arrived to this massive airport with thousands of men, women, and Children flooding to get to the correct Gates in time to their flights. This trip definitely changed me because of the different types of cultures, people, and places that I visited. When i went on this trip i didn’t really know of what other people performed in different places in the country. On the trip I visited California, Oregon, and Washington and all of the cities I visited all were similar in each way.

Hours spent in museums around the UK and the world, such as the British museum in London where I saw the Elgin Marbles, also inspired my enthusiasm for history. These visits sparked an interest in aspects of the societies of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome and through reading Ancient Greek Literature such as Homer's The Odyssey and Plato's The Republic as well as books on Ancient Roman Mythology I feel as though I have gained a greater knowledge of these

If it wasn’t for the small particles of sand in between the lens of my Canon Rebel SL1 and the vivid memory of the way the ocean kissed my feet as it crawled up the hot sand, I would have had to leave behind the Texas coast for my small dorm room located in America’s heartland entirely. I didn’t though, and I find that to be one of the most beautiful things about the human experience. That we are nearly boundless when it comes to how far we can travel and what we can bring back from those places. If you asked me to open up my suitcase of memories and stories and pick out my favorite one, I’d hold out to you the time I camped overnight on the Port Aransas Beach.

If preservation efforts are to serve people, they need to capture the vast diversity of heritage, experience, and communities that makes up the American experience. Ideally, everyone should be able to find their story. However in the past, “[m]inority participation in heritage programs has been limited, and the picture of American history presented by officially designated sites understates the diversity of the nation’s actual history” (Kaufman 1). This occurred for multiple reasons, including intentional exclusion and that history can uncomfortable topics, and injustices.

I would benefit in many interesting ways from going to Washington, D.C. I would benefit from the experience by being able to understand and learn what’s going on in our country. I would just love to visit our nation’s capitol and it will benefit me by learning and helping me become more IB. I would become more IB by having the ability to be open-minded and learn more about our nation. I would also benefit from using this knowledge later in school.

I was raised in the little town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, and by the age of 17 I needed to see the outside world, to experience different cultures, and to meet new people. I dreamed of talking to Greek philosophers or Japanese fishermen, and I worked to make my dream a reality. After all the arrangements, I found myself on a jet plane with a letter of recommendation for my host family in the pocket of my favorite navy blue hoodie. For the first time in my life, a sweeping ocean physically separated me from my friends and family, and I was living with strangers. It was frightening, but that didn’t stop me. I was determined to see the world with my own two eyes, not just through the pages of a book or dinnertime

There are many different places to visit throughout the world; however, London is one of the most visited places in the world.

It is the most known city in England and it’s the most visited city in the country. London is known for many things, but it's mainly known for its wonderful cuisine, its tremendous history, and its captivating arts.

Momentarily, I wondered why dad was so determined to have me cease my relationship with Washington. After all, what happened to innocent until proven guilty and Washington seem like a very nice man to me but so did Coleton. If I made a mistake about Coleton, I could very well be wrong about Washington. I made an excuse about needing to go to the store and went out to phone Washington. I told him about my father and what my father had told me about him.
