Tallahassee, Florida

My heart started pounding as my flight arrived at Los Angeles International Airport. It was the moment I had been waiting for three years, I could still recall the memory of breathing the first salty air with the fragrance of ocean breeze — it was a sunny day. After checking out and picking up my luggage, I knew my brand new life in the United States had just gotten started. Everything looks as familiar as the scenes in my memory. I saw American burgers with french fries served in restaurants like

In July of 2016 my husband and I took our family on a cruise, it was the first time cruisin’ for all of us. We were so excited to experience something new. We decided to drive to Galveston Tx. where we would port from to begin our week long journey. We were at sea for four days and docked three days. The destinations we chose were on the Western Caribbean; Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Jamaica. All of our excursions were exciting and new experiences for all of us however, Jamaica was by far the

this was going to be a vacation to remember. We were told that we would be staying at the Nickelodeon Resort for five days, during which we would go sightseeing, and visit both Disney World and Universal studios. We had a short plane flight to Florida and my parents got the rental car. While they were doing that; Nathan told me different facts about the places we were visiting. He told me about how some of the skeletons on the Pirates of Caribbean where made from “real human bones” and how Cinderella’s

On July 4, 2012 I was playing lacrosse in Daytona Beach, Florida with my best friend waiting for someone to order pizza for us. A friend of my friend’s family, a few years older than us, brought his surfboard with him and asked us if we would want to try surfing out before dinner gets there. We were both athletic kids and never tried surfing before, being that we were from Ohio, so we jumped at the opportunity to try it. I was first to try riding a wave, and I was able to stand up and successfully

On the morning of March 15, 2017, I woke up in complete denial to what was going to happen in the next 48 hours of my life. My childhood dream was finally going to come true. Like any other morning I got ready for school, by brushing out my long, silky brown hair that everyone is jealous of, getting a pair of jeans and an old t-shirt out of my closet, and making my lunch. Just as I walked out the door, I grabbed my old decaying Grand Valley State University sweatshirt. Once I got to school, I realized

Florida Do you know when you are on a plane, your ears pop like crazy? Well, I know from experience, because I was on a plane to Florida for 2 ½ hours. My family, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents were all going to Florida. When the airplane takes off for the very first time, your ears are not used to the elevation, so it will mostly likely hurt. You eventually get used to the feeling of it, after a certain amount of time in the plane. “We have been in this plane for 2 hours,” Braden moaned

A trip to Walt Disney World can be a dream come true for many individuals. Disney is comprised of four parks that visitors have to choose from when planning their trip to this magical destination. Two parks include the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. While both EPCOT and the Magic Kingdom are similar in that they provide theme park experiences that include rides, entertainment, and culinary experiences. The actual experiences when dissected have very pronounced differences, with EPCOT having a more educational

Whether you’re getting yourself clean in a nice warm bath, driving across the country in a car gifted to you by your father upon your graduation, or floating along the pool of a tropical holiday resort with a cocktail in one hand and a second, larger cocktail in the other, everything is better with music. To enjoy the strains of your favorite singer in such a situation, you’re going to have to get a portable Bluetooth speaker, capable of connecting to your chosen device from long distances and resistant

Against all odds, fighting the legal system, the county, the city, the landlord, and the sabotage of the competition all the way. I had successfully opened the first and only dungeon club in Florida and operated it for sixteen years, which was the first of its kind in all of Florida’s history. Surely, the police departments and Court were aware of what had been going on in their city and county all through the 1990s and up until 2007, but they still didn't know what to do about it.

This summer I did not do very many things, but the things I did do were somewhat interesting. The majority of my summer was spent working unfortunately. In July I went to Florida with my family for a week. During summer vacation I also hung out with Jared, my boyfriend, and my other friends whenever I could. For the most part my summer was very boring, but I made the best of it because it was the summer before senior year. Before last school year ended got a job at the McDonald’s in West Point,
