I tried to make a reservation for Oro Azteca Mexican Restaurant but they quit taking group reservations since people do not show up and when they show up only two people show up. Reserving tables hurt their business due to the amount of no show or wrong head count information. Therefore, in order for us to sit together we need to be the first one at the door.…
Six Flags Fiesta Texas I recently had the pleasure of going to Six Flags Fiesta Texas with my friend and his family. My experience was phenomenal. All of the rides at Six Flags had me on the edge and I felt different about each ride. I think I rode just about all of the rides there and discovered my three favorites over all.…

Much like Jerral, I grew up with parents who too were entrepreneurs of a small town business. Their leadership and management skills rubbed off on me and taught me great work ethic and leadership skills. In high school, I perused different avenues that lead to me becoming more involved in my school and community. I became head of the prom comity along with student body president, hoping to make a difference. I couldn't think of anything better than having the roll as a leader in my school, until I began to wear out.…
I was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico and I moved to Jacksonville, Florida. This was a challenging time in my life because I had to get used to Florida's environment , its culture, and its people. New Mexico's environment is dry and hot. When you stand outside you can fee the sun beam on your skin, an the surrounding air is warm. There's mountains and desert landscapes.…
I've lived in the Rio Grande Valley my whole life. Ever since I could remember, I had never been outside these valley roads. I had always dreamed about what a vacation would be like. I ustheir ed to have friends all the time tell me about their trips to San Antonio, Houston, and Florida , just to name a few. I came from a lower class family of five so a vacation was never an option for us.…
Running around the house, I frantically rushed to my bathroom to finish curling my hair for my birthday dinner. My father yells at me, “Have you even decided where you want to go?” For every birthday, my family and I go out to eat to one of our favorite restaurants. Lucky for me, I became the deciding factor. Being steak connoisseurs, my family usually goes to one of our local restaurants, Texas Roadhouse or Logan’s Roadhouse.…
Two thousand five hundred eighty-seven. I could take an eight-hour flight or a casual thirty-seven-hour drive, but no matter what, I am still two thousand five hundred eighty-seven miles away from my home in New Haven, Connecticut. Being a college freshman, trying to juggle class, homework, projects, studying, sleeping, eating, and athletics; finding the travel time to go home is an almost impossible task. Add in the cost of the $600 flights round trip and there is no chance a student can go visit home when they feel a little homesick. I on the other hand had never even fathomed being homesick from the frozen tundra I called home.…
I had not yet graduated but I was on the eighth grade graduation trip. During the trip to Six Flags, I did not go on any rides, nor did I want to. I wandered around the park feeling sorry for myself. It was a cruddy day and I was walking around the park with a warm funnel cake in my hand when my friends found me.…
Wrecked The tires squealed, burnt rubber was in the air my car rolled into a fence. Late one night I was with my boyfriend and dog, we were laying in bed about to be asleep when my stomach grumbled. I went down the stairs with lots of caution trying to avoid the squeaky stairs, so I didn't wake my mom up.…
Kids aren't the smartest. Looking back on things when I was younger has made me realize that kids don’t really thing when they do things. One of the things that happened to me was when I was trying to get clothes out of a dresser about 2 feet taller than I was. After failing I learned that I should think more about something rather than jumping straight into an idea. It was back when I was in 4th grade at night right before bed.…
haven’t told anyone this before, but I’m going to tell you now I haven’t told anyone this before, but I’m going to tell you now that I plan to take a trip next year to my hometown Las Vegas, Nevada. Most likely I will be going in autumn, when the days are warm and the nights are cool. I been there most of my life, I have many great memories. My childhood was amazing although, I hit a few bumps in the road.…
The first few nights crying for my grandmother or grandfather to come sit on the end of the bed or even say good night. My mother told me she remembers closing my door and hearing “Where is grandma and papa?”. I fell asleep one night and heard my mother leave for work so I got out of bed and walked into the living room where my mother’s boyfriend waved goodbye. I asked him where she was going and he said “To work..…
It was a bad day and I was so hungry but the worse part was that I couldn’t eat anything. My mom was so scared and worried that she turned into full protective mama bear mode. I would never forget those days because she wouldn’t leave my side at all until I felt better.…
