My older sister, a cousin, and I had decided we would be taking a summer trip to Honolulu, Hawaii.…
It was a Tuesday, on September 22nd, 2015, I claimed my seat by the window of a Southwest plane, and leaned down to shove my large purple bag below my seat. I had put my headphones over my ears to escape the noises of the world around me. I turned my head to my dad and brother Taylor, they were adjusting to get comfortable, and then I rotated the opposite way to stare out the tiny window. It was a sunny afternoon, I was already thrilled to get out of high school, and to go to Florida was even better! I haven’t been to Florida in over 7 years and before that my family used to go every year.…

Essay In August 2016, my family and I went on vacation. Every year during the summer we usually go on vacation but this specific trip was one of the best i've ever been on.

I was on a Jesus High, so I figured everything would be fine. Nothing at all would have been wrong. I was most definitely wrong. My boyfriend wouldn’t reply to my text messages, and he was ignoring my phone calls. He finally texted me say he was at work, and he would be off about 4.…
My initial thought of going to Japan is “Are we going to see some awesome neon city in Akihabara or are we going to some rural area with some magnificent landscape that I have seen in the magazines?”. Surprisingly my dad told me we are going to stay in Japan for a month with my grandma and grandpa in Sapporo where many fresh meat is being made locally.
