As I turned left on the new road, I decide to take to school today. I could smell f wild mint, this was refreshing because the old road would sometimes smell of onions, and at times I would want to cry. At my next turn right 2) While we were on our trip in Central America. We had a guide to take us places. One of the roads we were on had sharp right and left turns. The only things you could see was trees, and when you looked down there was no bottom. 3) Have you ever seen a milkman on a horse and wondered where he puts the milk containers. Well you you lesson close you can hear the clacking and clanking on the sides of the horses. 4) A butterfly flew by me today that was prettier than a clear sunny day.
7. Today, I went to the beach to look for whales. I thought I saw a whale, so I took a step forward to get a closer look. I didn’t see the crack between the two rocks and I slipped and fell down a hole. I couldn’t get out! The next thing I know, it was high tide! I was so nervous and the hole started to fill with water. There was no way I could get out and there was no way someone would see me. Next thing I know, the waves crashing at the back of the crack were so strong that they came back the other way and the strong current pulled me out of the hole. What an experience!

I never understood the American Dream until my mom took me away to the Dominican Republic. I was 7 years old when my life changed completely. I would have to live In a new country, new house, and attend a new school. Everything was different from what I was used to. And although my mom spoke Spanish, when I arrived to the DR I barely knew any. I was In second grade and I was the only one In my class who did not know how to write In spanish, or In script. It was a process for me to adjust to the new life I was given. However since the moment I arrived In the Dominican Republic I wanted to come back to the States. I missed everything, from my friends, to the city, to McDonald's happy meals.
Did you know there are seven species of sea turtle in the world? Four of which make home on the Salvadoran coast. Throughout my 19 years of living I have encountered a handful of learning experiences. The most significant was when I went to visit my parent's motherland, El Salvador. For those who don't know El Salvador is a small, in fact, the smallest country in Central America. My experience there changed my perspective about life. El Salvador is filled with gang violence and poverty. Making it one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Yet, is also filled with amazing views, delicious foods and beautiful people. In my visit I witnessed how hard the people work for how little they get paid, the struggle of living there, and how little you need to be happy.
Our hard times were finally over. When you return to the U.S. after being deported, you’re supposed to go into an office to get your file which contains various letters from lawyers and other important information. My mother and I were looking for the office, quickly turning our heads left and right and right to left, because we couldn’t wait for this nightmare to be completely over. As we were about to head in, an officer denied my entrance. Apparently, our endless plane ride wasn’t enough and we had to wait three hours more listening to the intercom repeating flight numbers and different destinations and arrivals. However, after seeing the look on my mother’s face- which expressed happiness, consolation, and an incredible amount of pride-
Ever look at pictures of a country and think it’s the most beautiful country? Well, that’s what I thought when my parents showed me or talked about their birth country, Honduras. Seeing pictures of where they had lived and hearing stories; I always thought, “WOW! This place looks amazing!” I wanted to go to see it for myself. Thinking that it would still be the way my parents had illustrated it, boy I was in for a major reality check and so were my parents. Honduras is a poverty-stricken and perilous country, just the way people live, the way people automatically think you’re rich, and with its cons, I still think it’s a good place.
I was born in Guatemala in a city called, called Guatemala City. Life in Guatemala is hard which is why my parents brought me into the United States when I was eight months old. Some of the things that makes life in Guatemala hard is the violence. However, Guatemala has plenty of hard working men, women, and children who usually get forced to begin working as soon as they are able to walk. However, unlike many other countries, Guatemala has a huge crime rate. I care about the innocent hard working people that live in Guatemala and receive letters, threatening to be killed if they do not pay a certain amount of money at a certain amount of time.
As a little kid I moved...a lot. I moved more than birds migrate, at least that's how it felt. Obviously as a child i had no say in moving so I just had to drop everything for the move. Due to this I don't feel like i can consider any one place home. I don't have any childhood friends that i've known for years. Honestly I feel robbed of my childhood! I constantly think about how my life could have been had my parents not been selfish bastards! But I guess that saying that makes me just as selfish.
neighborhood and community are very diverse; this has helped shape me due to the fact that I see how some people suffer and work so hard. I have learned not to take the
I would go to Mexico because I've been there many a time before and I really like it there. I would fly there on delta airlines because my grandpa was a pilot and my dad gets to fly on stand by that mean he gets to fly for really cheap. I would go to ocean Coral and turquesa because I've been there 3 time and it is super fun. It is an all expenses paid hotel so I don't need any money because you already paid for every thing. If I left the hotel I would go to Chichén Itzá, Yucatan, Mexico which is 2 hours and 15 mins away from the hotel but it is worth it you can pay 64 dollars each person for a exclusive person viewing. The chichen itza is a beautiful pyramid that a lot of people go to see. After we got back from the pyramid we would come back to the hotel and do all sorts of Things like scuba diving, swim with sharks, go look at the corral reefs around
So I was born on March 21. I was born here in Thornton. I have never moved out of this state. Though I have been out of the state and out of the country. My family likes to take a family trip every three years. The first one I remember was our trip to Mexico. The next one was a road trip to California. Then we went to Florida. Then the last one was on a cruise ship and one week at California again. My family likes to camp a lot to. So lots of memories there.
The first time I visit Punta Cana located in Dominican Republic was one of the best experience I ever had. In august 10, 2014 my family and I decide to go to this country, wise choice from us to expend our vacations.
The car was hot and stuffy when I slipped back into the driver's seat. I found the most depressing music I owned and drove out of Glenwood as the sun started to set. Two more hours until I was home, two more hours of thinking what a terrible day I had gone through, and two more hours of cussing myself for being so naïve. The drive was a long one.
We had the best of all worlds during this trip. I went to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. I went during the end of July through August in 2015. I went on an ATV car with my mother. It was like a party everyone could imagine. We proceeded this adventure on a hot, sweltering day. I felt as if I could melt from the heat of the sun. We had a total of forty people, partnering up, enjoying the ATV ride. I thought we were like a famous group with so much attention. My trip to Punta Cana was positively an unforgettable memory.
I turned off the car and took a deep breath. Looking slowly up into the pink sky, I began to watch the golden sun go to sleep. The beach seemed deserted, quiet, but peaceful. I opened my door and put my feet out on the soft sand. I started taking my shoes off, then my socks. I threw them in the passenger seat, and then shut the door. I looked out over horizon of the lake and started walking towards the still water. With each step I took, I could feel the warm sand crunch between my toes. Then suddenly, a sharp rock, but not sharp enough to break the skin.
