This degree, may it be in nursing, tourism management or any other field, is a sheet of paper.

trying to close it. It was as if the beast wouldn’t close but finally did. “Get into the car,” my mom screamed. I threw my bag into the trunk, took my seat, and we were off to the airport. I pictured in my head how fun it will be on vacation in the Bahamas, but had *no idea what was ahead of me.* I hopped out of the car, grabbed my bag and ran into one of my favorite places, Portland International Airport. My mom, dad, and I still thought of this being the best vacation of 2016. We checked in, went

deficient findings, he left some of his men and returned back to Spain. I am sure that the lack of discovery was devastating to Columbus because he expected to find so much more and become a wealthy and notable man. In his future trips back to the Bahamas, Columbus took natives as slaves and continued his search for riches. Columbus declared that the natives, “ought to make good and skilled servants,” and “subject everyone and makes them do what you wished”. He treated the indigenous people as obstacles

and culture and to attempt answering the “loaded…” question of “who is a Bahamian?”(Wells1). Arguably, nationalism in the Bahamas has been poorly understood as evidenced by researched articles published by Sabrina Lightbourn, Patricia Glinton-Miercoles and Nicolette Bethel. Therefore, we now probe the underpinning concepts of what makes

have been really jubilant, a pleasant memory you have. Whether that memory was with friends, family, on a school trip or at home, we have all had at least one time where we have been just ecstatic. For me, one of my joyous memories is my trip to the Bahamas. To explain my vacation and why it was so delightful, I’ll break it up into three parts. First, the plane ride there, then my actual time at Paradise Island and lastly, the plane ride home. So, first for the plane ride there. Although we had to

came home to almost nothing. Half of the towns and almost half of buildings was ruined with water damage and had to be rebuilt (Dunbar). After Hurricane Sandy there was a bunch of damage done to theses states : Jamaica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Bahamas, and the U.S. (“Superstorm Sandy”). “The hurricane left an estimated 200,000 people without shelter” (“Superstorm Sandy”). The property damage was an estimate from between $30-$50 billion (“Superstorm Sandy’’). Many people had no home for a long

while I watch the wide American roads, with one too many lanes and roads that pave through the sky. This country is amazing. It’s the first day of school and I tug on the hem of my skirt—too short, the garment falls above my knees, whereas in the Bahamas the skirts had to be two inches below knee level. The halls are too crowded and the students are too loud. I’m thrown a few dirty looks as I bump into a few people, I’m not used to navigating this large of a crowd. I’m put in 6th grade with the other

I am a Bahamian citizen attempting to not only change my country but the world. The Bahamas is known for its beautiful beaches, warm weather, and ideal island lifestyle. Unbeknownst, many Bahamians live completely negligent due to the slow lifestyle of an island. Below the surface of an ideal lifestyle, is the myriad of health conditions many Bahamians suffer from. In my home, the number one cause of death is non- communicable diseases –i.e. hypertension, cancer, and diabetes. These diseases affect

Man has always traveled. Some travel for the adventure, others to achieve a long term goal. The Vikings for example traveled in long boats able to travel the earths most treacherous waters. They came from Scandinavia and already stormed through Europe making new cities by doing this. Now they decide to head west across the Atlantic unsure of what dangers may unfold. The Vikings land in America. Their leader, Thorvald Erikson was a brave explorer and wanted to make America their home. The vikings
