I woke up to the sound of the alarm on my phone yelling for me to wake up. The sky was still dark, with just a sliver of the sun starting to rise. My sister, Molly, was trying to convince me to let her sleep in, but I refused. My dad and I both started getting ready for the day, followed by Molly, who was angry at me for making her wake up at 6:00 in the morning. After Molly and I went through several outfit choices, we finally left the tiny New York City hotel room and rode the elevator down to the lobby to eat breakfast. When I stepped out of the elevator, I was instantly hit with the aroma of bacon and eggs. We devoured a delicious breakfast, then went outside where the sun had finally risen over the enormous skyscrapers. We started walking to the subway station, my dad telling us stories about when he worked in Manhattan. We descended down the stairs to the station, and pushed through the crowds of commuters to board the subway heading towards Central Park. …show more content…

We walked through the park and to the stage, where one of my favorite bands, Walk the Moon, were playing a free concert for Good Morning America. We stood in the back of the crowd as we waited for it to start. Then band ran out on stage and the show began. Molly and I spent the next 30 minutes jumping and singing along to our favorite songs. I was disappointed when it ended, but knew I still had a lot of fun things to look forward

They have three preschool classes throughout the day that last about an hour and a half each. The classes each consist of around fifteen young students. Their ages range from as young as four up to six. There was a generally equal split between boys and girls, yet there were a few more boys overall. The children came from a variety of backgrounds. Some were Mexican or African-American and a few spoke two languages and one even spoke three. They often confused words and would mix the languages, yet these students seemed to pick up new concepts faster than some of the others.

    The weather was just beginning to turn cold. Gray fog hung in the air, making everything look extra enigmatic. The fog rested in the sky, giving away the sight of infinite rows of evergreen trees. My morning started off as any other weekend morning. It was 8 o'clock and as a result of leaving my window open all night, the room was filled to the brim with cold piercing air causing me to be far too cold to just lay there or attempt to fall back into sleep. Therefore,as usual, I slipped outside to take a walk. I always cherished these mornings because I felt alone. In these streets, that in just a few hours would be crawling with little monsters playing street basketball and big monsters mowing their lawns, I was alone. Alone until this very Saturday.

    I stopped in the middle of the street and drew in a deep breath. "Where am I going?" I asked myself. I glanced at my watch, still walking, and noticed with a shudder that it was already past midnight. "Time flies when you're having fun," I muttered, my voice filled with a surprising sarcasm. I turned the corner of 54th street, and glanced down the block. No one. Part of me wished that someone would have been there, someone who would question me and demand that I go straight home. But I knew that if I went back, I'd be right where I started. And I'd promised myself progress this night.

    The night before, I didn’t practice my English so I knew what to say. By now, I knew most of the words, so I would just let my heart guide me. Besides, my cramped old house, which is actually just a junky garage in an abandoned alley, is too small to let out my feelings. Once I got to school after a cold walk in the snow, I placed myself by her locker and waited. Fourteen minutes had gone by, and still no sign of Lily. I only had a minute to get to class now, so I hurriedly collected myself and ran to my locker. I was disappointed, knowing that without Lily here, it would be the hardest day of school. I opened my locker and to my surprise a note fell to the floor. I quickly picked it up and gazed at the neat handwriting that clearly spelled my name.

We stood next the flag pole staring at the school entrance. “This is going to be okay. This is going to be okay” I mumbled to myself. I wanted to enter, nonetheless, gravity glued my feet down to the cold concrete ground. My hands started sweating through my thin-knitted pink sweater and tears were about to roll off my eyes. Shortly after, I saw a shadow of a tall woman approaching us from the school’s front door. My heart beats like a drum as she carefully making her way toward us like you would when you proceed a scared puppy. She stood about four feet away from us making sure she’s not invading our comfort zone. She knelt down and shows us her school staff ID card while holding her buzzing walkie talkie on the other hand. She then ask for our names and walked us one by one to our classrooms. I remember it was so early that I had to sit in front of my class waiting for my teacher to

    If life teaches anything, it's that the human race has a superabundance of individual stories. Living in a densely populated city provides the choice atmosphere to partake in one of my favorite pastimes; People-watching. In doing so, I can observe different aspects and details of each respective personage that idly passes by, unaware that they are the object of my observations. Every human being has a distinctive cognizance of history, style, specific preference, belief, and defining characteristics that compose their personality. Although, these human factors make it difficult to judge people simply by a passing observation, I wonder what one would conclude by observing me. Would they rest on my outer details; my black, curly hair, my toffee-colored

As usual, mom and dad were waiting in the kitchen. Mom was ready to cook whatever we could all agree on, and dad was sitting at the table watching the news.
