In the trove of memories that I have from the visits to Florida, one in particular stands out. One day when we visited in June we went to Blue Springs park. It had crystal clear water so you were able to see 40ft to the bottom. After swimming in spring water for a while we rented canoes and went down the river it was connected to. We had enough fun after a couple hours and we were about to finish the day off by jumping off a 5ft ledge into the 40ft deep water.…
The Stadium of Dreams Everyone has a place. A special place. This place might hold a lot of memories, it might be somewhere you want to explore, or something that only exists in your imagination. Anyway you look at it, this place has a special meaning to you. My special place is my school's football stadium.…
On June 29, 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt established Mesa Verde National Park to "preserve the works of man," the first national park of its kind.. Today, they continue preservation of both cultural and natural resources. It is the focus of the park's research and resource management staff. I wrote this essay to inform the 6th grade English class about the Mesa Verde National Park. It is vandalism wantonly to destroy or to permit the destruction of what is beautiful in nature, whether it be a cliff, a forest, or a species of mammal or bird.…
ADIRONDACKS One of the most memorable places I have been to was the Adirondacks. The Adirondacks had a big lake with tons of houses all around it. There were all sorts of houses around it. There were also a lot of mountains all around.…
The Lava Beds National Monument, I believe would be a great place for students to learn about nature. Located on the border of California and Oregon, the lonely road leads to something amazing. To something some may consider as California's "best kept secret." The Lava Beds National Monument, is one of the most visited national monuments in America. It attracts only one hundred thirty thousand visitors each year but the "secret" underground caves and volcanic rock of the park is full of thrilling sights and history.…
Yellowstone National Park is located in the United States. It has been an attraction for a lot of people over the years. The park has really cool scenery with its motley wildlife, and its features such as hot springs and geysers as it sits over an active geothermal area. People find joy visiting Yellowstone National Park. Even if it's a handful of people now the potential Omnipoint danger that comes with visiting this area.…

When you see those pictures of clear watered, beautiful, and perfect small paradises, what do you think about? Do you think about where that could possibly be, or how that could exist. I think of the island of St. Croix, a small virgin island just off the coast of Puerto Rico. It is an island of beauty, culture, and color.…
Mary Mitchell Miss Brown 10th English 20 November 2015 The Grand Canyon One of the most visited landscapes in the world is the Grand Canyon. Along with the Grand Canyon being absolutely beautiful, it has many mysteries even scientists are not certain about, including how it was made, exactly how old it is, and many more questions remain.…
For my and my wife’s first year anniversary, we decided to go on trip to the Bahamas. We bought our tickets and started to google things for us to do while we were there. I knew I wanted to go scuba diving but my wife felt uncomfortable going so we agreed on snuba diving. It was one of the best experiences of our lives ! The bus to pick us up arrived finally around at noon.…
During the summer of 2014, my family and I enjoyed a vacation in one of the most beautiful place I have ever visited. My uncle had won a trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for the whole family and we were ecstatic to say the least. I remember looking at pictures of the unbelievable mansion we would be staying in called Casa China Blanca, but no picture captured how amazing it truly was. Although, the entire city was not as luxurious as our gated community, I still believe Puerto Vallarta is one of the most enjoyable places I have ever been to. Upon arrival, my family and I piled into the chaotic airport filled with hundreds of people.…
With every new experience, a new one is always discovered. Lowell, Massachusetts, a city that is full of history, as well as beautiful nature. Lowell is full of parks, hiking trails, esplanades, and best of all the Lowell Riverwalk. The Riverwalk is located right near the bridge going from North campus to East Campus, I walk past the walkway almost every day and never really thought much about the view all that much. Going on a nature walk was a very interesting.…
Colonial Social Class The first interesting topic I found on the website was about colonial social classes it went into detail about each social class within in that area, and about what each social class was entitled too. For instance, enslaved field hands such as field workers worked Monday through Saturday from sun up to sun down. These field hands mostly worked in the tobacco or cotton fields and they only had Sundays off for themselves. This form of labor was considered the most back breaking being they worked all day long until late at night.…
The "obscure" place I chose to write about is called Fier's Ship House in Albania, and I specifically chose this location because I actually grew up going to this boat a lot with my grandmother. In Albania, you can see around 7 of these boats that have been permanently left on the shallows of the beaches just by walking down the shoreline for 20 minutes. They're very beautiful and big boats, one I specifically remember had carnival rides on it, being so young that one was my favorite so my grandmother and I went there often when my family visited Albania. I didn't just decide to talk about these boats because I've been there before, but because a great majority of the memories I have of my grandmother are made up by these hour long adventures…
