Morning with the sun about to rise, with tears in my eyes, crossing the river on the shaking boat with many luggage. Wishing I wasn’t on the boat, but in my bed, with my eyes close and dream about my day. The car is waiting on the other side of the river waiting for me, my mom and my relatives. looking back on the other side of the river, seeing my grandparents standing with tears in their eyes broke my heart. “Take care of yourself over there ok” was what they said to me for the last time. “Why does my life have to take a better turn instead of staying the way they have always been” was my thought during that time. Stepping on the concrete steps, walking toward the car with the doors open. My uncle put the luggage in the back of the car while …show more content…
Going to school at study a level beyond my country school, learn new things and meet new people. Sitting in the car looking out the window, houses pass by like the wind. Listen to my relative talk makes me happy but also sad at the same time. I wondered at that time if I will be able to listen to them talk anymore after this ride with them. Arrived at the airport, getting out of the car with my luggage in my hand. Going toward the airport and ready to check in soon, looking back at city view makes me want to stay and not go anywhere. Me and my cousin hugged each other with tears in our eyes, I try to not forget the feeling of hugging them for the rest of my life. Going pass the gate and into the airplane taking a seat, looking out the window and feeling the take-off of the airplane. We are ready to leave my country and go to where my education will be better and let me full fill my dream. Taking flight after flights, finally arrived at the destination, seeing my dad waving at us at the gate. He helped us put the luggage in the back of the car. I was surprised that there’s a car in front of me, it was my first time seeing a car that actually belong to us …show more content…
I was not able to take tests like other students did, but I was able to pass and become a fifth grader. I start to understand and able to read in class during my fifth grade year. Make new friends and start to join clubs and have fun at school. I start to enjoy going to school, hang with friends and learn new things. Going on to middle school and seeing different things, learn new words, and meet new people. I love math, so I met the greatest math teacher in middle school, she was the best teacher and her lesson is easy to understand. Passing all my classes and going on to high school is my happiest moment, and the time to think about the future. High school is harder than middle school, the level is more difficult and more challenging. I was able to pass all my class with A, graduate with an honor. Going to college and taking honor classes is a challenge when I wasn’t born in the United States. Hearing what people said about college makes me want to rethink about my future plan. Remembering my families in my country waiting for me to return as something new and someone who can surprise them with my new knowledge, make me want to graduate from college and earn a diploma for them and for
My mind started to wonder though each room of the house, the kitchen where mom used to spend every waking hour in. The music room where dad maintained the instrument so carefully like one day people would come and play them, but that day never came, the house was always painfully empty. The house never quite lived to be the house my parents wanted, dust bunnies always danced across the floor, shelves were always slightly crooked even when you fixed them. My parents were from high class families that always had some party to host. Their children were disappointments, for we
We got off from plane and headed towards the exit. My cousins and my family case worker were already their waiting for us. I was so shocked and the same time I was so happy to meet with my cousins after 6 years. This days too when I went to airport reminds me of that day. We collect bags and headed towards my cousin’s house, I was so hungry and I asked my cousin “what kind of food you made” she knew that we love Nepali cosine so she had made Nepali cosine. We ate food after that I went upstairs to rest. I was so excited and little bit scared to be here and start my new life in USA because I knew that USA life is different than Nepalese life style, however that day was my best day ever in my life. I felt like my dream came true. I had a lot of things going through my mind. Like what am I going to do, what is best for me things like
It was time for us to leave and board the plane to America. I was very excited to get to America, I was also anxious to see my Dad who I haven’t seen in months. The flight was long, I can remember in the air was my first time feeling turbulence, whoa let me tell you it was a scary one it felt like the plane was about to crash. I was anxious for the plane to land. When we arrived we exited out the plane and head out to the train inside the airport in order to go to U.S. customs and border protection, to get our documents sorted out, so that we could enter the country.
October 20, 2007, the day that I’m going to say goodbye to my hometown. I was born and raised in Philippines by my grandparents for sixteen years. It is heart-breaking to think that I will not see them anymore like how I used to. I was 16 years old, and it will be my first time to travel with my big brother in the airplane. Our trip from Philippines to Virginia is approximately about 18-20 hours. It is not a direct flight, so we have to change plane three times, and it is a long trip for us. I was crying the whole time when we were in the airplane. As soon as we reach our last destination which is the Washington D.C., we have no way of communicating with my mom and auntie because we have no cellphones. I was hesitant to
As we arrive to the airport I am so excited, even though it is 4:00 in the morning I have a significant amount of energy. Then it hit me, “I’m going to Disney World.” As the plane lands, I see all the palm trees and the bright sun and I get excited. We got off the plane and picked up our bags and went to the Disney World bus stop. As I got on the bus a video starts to play about everything to do there, and that got me even more excited.
My mother waves from the driveway as we pull away in the moving truck. She is smiling at me, but I know her heart is breaking. My father puts his arm around her and together they say goodbye. The air outside is cold but it is sunny and as we pull away from the house with my life’s possessions and our brand new baby, embarking on our journey, I feel a rush of excitement. Onward!
It was the day I’ve been waiting for my whole life, to go to Colombia. It was time to step on the plane it was like a million degrees outside. I thought the plane was going to melt but inside of the plane it was as cold as a ice cube. It was the happiest moment of my life. The plane landed safely in colombia. I was about to cry the smile on my face was wider than the galaxy. The day began with me going to my cousins house I was imagining what we were going to do like play video games eat candy and other junk foods in colombia and drink sodas. It was time to go back to my grandmas apartment I went to the kitchen to grab her delicious cookies, no surprise there.
We got to o’hare airport in Chicago so we can got to the excited trip to Hawaii. When I got on the plane I was scared and anxious cause I never been in a plane. When the plane started I started to panic and I also started to cry cause I was terrified. I started to feel better so I just ate food that my mom ordered for me. I was sitting separately with my sister and my stepdad, brother, and mom were sitting somewhere else. I tried to sleep it was very hard to sleep cause it was a tight space.
I endured the harsh pain of watching my house burn down from 40 feet away, only to listen to me sobbing on the side of the road as I had listened to my mother scream. Getting put into foster homes, running away had become my hobby. I had gotten out on the road before at nine, never staying in one place to be able to get in touch with my best friend again. Being homeless, out on the streets, it’s easy being young. After hitting 15, it’s a vague remembrance of Hell.
My mom came into my room at 3:30 in the morning because I had to finish packing and getting ready. Henk and Lizzie was going to pick us up in an hour to take get to the airport. I have been waiting for this day for a while now. I was so tired but I didn't care that I had to get up that early, I just wanted to get there. I haven't been to California before and was looking forward to being on the beach. We were meeting more people at the airport that was coming along with us. The flight really wasn't that long but I haven't been on a plane since I was 5 and I was 16 now, so I was kinda nervous about riding a plane. At least I wasn't as nervous as Todd because he has a big fear of being on planes. We boarded the plane and I started to not get so nervous because it was too late to freak out now. We landed in Denver, Colorado where we waited for our plane to take us straight to California. It felt like the whole day was going by so fast but slow at the same time.
My High School life has helped shape the way for my college experiences that I will face. My senior year in high school is not the same as many other high school students. I am taking many advanced classes to help me prepare for college. These classes help me better understand exactly how much harder I must work to succeed.
When I came to airport my plane was flew. And I waited 23 hours until new plane. I paid new ticket to much price. It was a bad moment when my flight flew because I didn’t have enough money. It was a bad moment when I was in the airport because bid farewell to my family, friends, town and my little brother.
I am Careena Loy and in this essay I am going to conclude talking about my high school experience. Through my past education I went through good and bad experiences where it me to struggle now through college. I also learned things out of school that made me who I am today. I will also be sharing the ways I have been praised because of my hard work and it has got me to where I am right now. Overall, high school was not a good experience for me just because there was a lot of drama and I wanted to be in college already with mature adults.
I was able to overcome many problems and challenge myself in different aspects. At the very beginning of the year, I was very sensitive and having a bad experience meant a bad life to me. Later on, I started to realize what I am doing in school, and why I am here… I understood that life without ups and downs means you're died.
When I was 8 year old I scored 100 out of 100 marks in Mathematics and when my class teacher announced the results whole class stood and clapped, I can never forget that overwhelming moment in my life, I was so happy and contended, and that day I understood the importance of education in life. My parents couldn’t study after high school due to financial restrictions but they always taught me importance of higher education to imagine and pursue goals. My family has been extremely supportive throughout the journey and has constantly motivated me to realize my potential to the fullest extent by providing conducive environment for studying and encouraging me in my endeavors. Throughout my high school, I enjoyed two things: Mathematics and Extra-curricular activities, these activities helped me to gain team skills, stress management skills and social relationship skills.
