In one very, very loud and hectic Verizon store, I was impatiently waiting for my dad to hurry up and replace his damaged phone case. As the dexterous employee was attaching the new case to his phone, my father was looking around when he spotted the Google Pixel XL, and then pointed to its display. I was extremely intrigued since I had a trashy phone. It was shiny, HUGE, thin, and sleek. It was amazing! I reluctantly asked if he could purchase one for me. He said "no.” I could see where he was coming from though, since it was eight hundred dollars. That’s a colossal sum of’ money. I could have weeks of Taco Bell with that level of dough. I was very eager to get it though, so I persisted. I asked multiple times, and Dad wouldn't budge. I started
As my father and I finally fit the statue of the little Virgin Mary in the back of the car, it was time to get on the road. I could already taste the guavas from my great grandfather’s ranch. Feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin. The smell of my aunt’s cooking. Hearing the excitement of my great grandmother’s voice. I wanted to be there already, be in the beautiful country of Mexico. My thoughts wandered as we left my house. How much welcome, love, and the sadness of leaving was going to happen. It was too soon to find out.
I am an chinese and mexican american. You might think those are the best mixes of race you can get but you are truly wrong? Growing up in a small farm town in the outskirts of San Diego I truly wish I was white like the rest of the kids at my school. For the hardships I have faced with race discrimination I am truly ashamed of being the color and human genetics I have.
I was able to go on a mission trip to Minnesota Native American Reservation, Squaw Lake when I was 13. I learned the four Spiritual laws, and I accepted Christ through the training. I was able to share the Good News to mostly to teens and kids. His Holy Spirit deeply filled my life, and I wanted to grow my passion for God.
Cellphones have become an asset in people's everyday lives. Gone are the days when cellphones are depicted as luxurio...
AHHHHHHH, that’s the sound I’m going to make when I going to make when I go to Six Flags this weekend. In my opinion, I think that Six Flags has the rides the best rides. There’s just one ride that I’m really afraid of. I t’s the biggest and best ride in Six Flags, the ride literally goes all around Six Flags. But I was afraid of the ride, so I said to my mom “Goliath is just one of the rides I’ll never ride.”
The calendar marked March 2, 2016. It was around 6:30 pm or so and Nadya had just got home from school after a long day. Before she was able to get comfortable, her mom silently handed her an eight by eleven-inch white envelope with The Culinary Institute of America at the top left. This could only mean one thing, but she didn't wanted to get her hopes up too high. She nervously opened the envelope and slowly pulled out the letter that was in it. She then read the letter to herself while her mother stood there watching. After reading the first line and ignoring the rest, she screamed and then her mom followed. She had just found out that she was accepted into her dream school, The Culinary Institute of America.
My parents have always referred me to as a Mexican-American, simply because I was born in the US. The proper term to refer my kind is "Chicanos". I recall speaking with a teacher in middle school telling him that I was Mexican-American and would often tell me I was wrong because neither one of my parents is an actual American. I have been called Latina as well but have always been used to being called a Mexican-American. I have utilized my diverse life and perspectives and have contributed to my local community. My ability to speak two languages helps a great amount of people. I am translating nearly everyday whether it is to assist my mother, or to help translate at my jobs. At my recent job, I found myself working at a department near mine,
I am a grilled cheese sandwich, ready to be eaten, and ready to go through digestion. I am made up of bread, butter, and cheese. My bread is made up of carbohydrates and fiber. My cheese is made up of fat, mainly, but also contains a bit of protein and some vitamins and calcium. My butter is also mainly fat. I am lifted up into the mouth. I am chewed while saliva is produced to make me into a paste. The amylase enzymes turn the starch molecules found in my bread into glucose. This is used by cells to give humans energy. When swallowed I enter the throat, where muscles push me down into the esophagus which joins the throat and the stomach. I enter the stomach where hydrochloric acids break me down further. Protease enzymes break my proteins
According to Rosen, the main reason why people acquire a cell phone is because of security. After the tragic event that occurred on September 11, 2001 in the United States cell phones started to play an important role in our lives. Rosen states that after this e...
My Mexican culture will forever define who I am and what I do. Culture influences the majority of peoples lives. It can be represented and impactful in a number of ways. Each culture is unique to each individual, which means there are no two cultures that are exactly the same. Culture has a very different meaning for everyone. My culture is represented in food, language, and traditions.
Nothing could be worst than your dad bringing up "THE CONVERSATION." Starting at age 5 I loved playing soccer,running up and down the field, making moves and kicking balls to the back of the net was always the way to go. Soccer meant the world to me and especially playing with my best friends since the day I started. My days would go something like this, go to school,get home,do homework then get ready and go to a beautiful fun day at soccer!After soccer I would go home sit on the couch and eat.I was a lazy one. That's why I hoped my dad would never ever bring up this conversation.... But he did anyways.
went to sit down on the sofa. A few minuets later my food was ready
Do you have a interesting story about something that has happened to you? Well, I sure have one. This event may be enjoyable for you, but it definitely was not for me! This event is the most scary thing that has happened to me. I never thought this scary incident would give me a good lesson.
As I approached the towering wall I was encouraged to try and climb it to behold the magnificent beast who lived on top. Suddenly I was unexpectedly boosted to the top scared for what was yet to come.
In today’s world the vast majority of the population owns a cell phone. Cell phones are a huge part of people’s everyday lives. Since the 1940’s when mobile phones became available for automobiles, phone companies have made huge strides in making mobile phones more efficient, much smaller, and more available for anyone to use. There was a time where only people of wealth had these types of mobile phones. Now people from all social classes own a cell phone. They are extremely convenient and have the ability to do just about anything you can think of. There is an “app” for everything. You can make phone calls, text message, surf the web, pay your bills, read books, catch up on social media, and even listen to you music all from one small handheld device. Cell phones play a huge role in today’s economy. Businesses such as AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint have become huge public corporations with large stakes in the stock market. Between these companies among several other phone companies they have created millions of jobs and opportunities. Cell phone companies have now created what are known as “smart phones”. These phones are typically slim and sleek and have countless versatile abilities. However, cell phones have not always been so “smart” or small for that matter.
