My Favorite Place Essay

Imagine if your school cafeteria plans to change your school lunch to a healthy lunch menu. Changing the school lunch menu to a more healthy menu is a bad idea because food will be more expensive, favorite foods will be gone, and students will be unhappy. First of all, changing the school's lunch menu would make it more expensive. You can buy a bag of chips for 99 cent on the other hand you have a salad that is almost two dollars. If you go to the store and get a bag of chips it's cheaper than

days before Christmas to find any Christmas tree and go to Home Depot to find the one that fits their ceiling and rushes to get it in their homes, but my family and I take Christmas tree shopping very seriously. Every year my Mom, Dad, Brother, and myself travel to Canarsie Market in Brooklyn to find our Christmas tree. It is a tradition since my whole family, including myself is born in Brooklyn. We travel around the market for hours trying to find the perfect tree. We find ourselves splitting up

I attended Grand Blanc Academy in Grand Blanc, Michigan. I was sitting in a hard yellow chair with my name tag at the top of the table. My Pre-School teacher Mrs. Stringer would hand out writing paper to practice our writing. The paper contained a row with the letters provided for us to copy on the row below. After all the letters in the alphabet were completed, we would move onto do the same thing with numbers 0-10. After we completed our writing practice for the day, Mrs. Stringer would have us

During Parent’s Weekend at Marquette, my family and I went to the Haggerty Art Museum. While I pleaded with my family to not go, as I am not a huge art fan, my Mom’s opinion overruled mine. From the outside, Haggerty looked like it would be small, but in reality, was quite large. When walking in, I immediately assumed that the art would not make any sense to me like at most art museums. However, I was quickly proven wrong as a lot of the art we saw was what I would consider impressive. They were

When I was younger, one of my favorite movies was Lilo and Stitch, a story about a girl and her pet “dog” named Stitch. One of my favorite quotes from the movie says, “Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.” Although I live in a place with weather that is the opposite of Hawaii’s and do not have an alien pet, my family and community have taught me the spirit of “ohana.” My parents were raised on the island of Sri Lanka, well known for having a similar tropical

Visiting Hawaii is a great thing in itself, but since my Dad lives there that makes things even better. I got a more personal and less touristy touch to getting familiar and enjoying Maui. This is my second time going to the incomparable island of Maui. While the first time was magnificent, this time was a different. This trip taught me details I didn’t learn, see, and do last time. To begin, the island of Maui is a very diverse. Diverse in that there are many things that are not supposed

chose to draw a portion of South Campus for my assignment. I specifically chose this portion of the campus because although I spend time in other areas, I would argue that this area best represents my experience at Hofstra. Several of my most frequently visited places and several of my favorite places at Hofstra can be found in this section of the campus. College has been the first time in my life where I have been able to have large amounts of control over my routine and the spaces I inhabit each day

Already sweating on the 80 degree day, you start your day walking into the fair wondering what place you are going to, what new food you are going to try, and what new things you will see and experience. You first see the busy crowds and the thousands of people of walking with their family or waiting in lines to get the new fried food, Personally my favorite thing to do at the fair is walk around with my friends and basically whatever happens happens, and when you get tired of walking all day choose

Our boat looks like a normal, big boat. It is blue and white but mostly white. There are many types of activities to do on the boat. There are cruising, tubing, skiing, going to a sandbar, going to the cove, and hanging out with your family. My personal favorite is going to sand bars. I love doing that because you can bury yourself under the sand, make fires, go on the lilypad (a fun thing to go on that floats on top of the water), swim, and just hang out. Tubing is also really fun. I just like when

Nina Simon had spoken in an interview. That has to be my favorite quote from learning about racial diversity. I have enjoyed every bit of this class so far. The topics have been intriguing, the work has not yet been that hard, and yes, I even like the idea of the Socratic Method! As we have learned about the racial diversity and how people draw a line between blacks and whites it has really made me think about the area I grew up in and the place I live in now. I grew up near Springfield, IL. The fact
