Personal Narrative: My Trip To Pleasanton, TX

Improved Essays
I arrived in Pleasanton, TX in the afternoon, seeing my parents after a year was so relieving. Of course the first thing Dad says is “I’m hungry and I want Mexican food”. So they took me to eat Mexican food at a little restaurant off of highway 281. Afterwards we ate fresh homemade ice-cream at the local dairy. Which eating Mexican and taking a trip to the local dairy with my parents was some of the things I did as a child. Childhood was the base of the happiness in my life. Having a loving family has been the best for my success.
Dad made banana French toast this morning. After breakfast my mom and I left the kids with dad and went garage selling. We have always enjoyed shopping together, it is our bonding time. We found books and some DVDs, it was an accomplished trip. We met my grandmother at Café Chris for lunch. I haven’t seen her in about a

It takes all day because there is a lot of land. The land looks so beautiful after we are done and it’s time for a hard earned meal we ate country fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. Afterwards we played our family game of 10,000 and talked. Home is a wonderful place to be, it’s where I have been loved the most. Dad has always told me my home is your home. When I was about four years old my dad would drop a handful of coins on the porch before he would leave for work. He knew it would make me happy and feel rich. When he would come home from work he would always have candy in his pocket for me. Sea World is an all-time favorite place that we love to visit. We watched a ski show, fed the fish, viewed the sharks, dolphins, penguins, and played in the water park. Everyone had a fulfilled day and went home with a smile and sunburn. Making happy memories heal the soul. Sea World has been part of our family trips since I was a little girl. Going back years later and brings back happy memories that I will cherish

    Brownsville, Texas is the town that I was raised in and can still call home. It was rich with Mexican culture and delectable, greasy tacos but it was still an economically disadvantaged city meaning that there were never enough resources to guide students to better opportunities. Of course, I never knew I was deprived of such an apparent luxury until I came to The University of Texas at Austin. When this realization came, I became frantic because of how behind I felt. I began looking for all sorts of resources and opportunities the university had to offer.…

    Coming to Houston from a country where opportunities are very limited and economy is a challenge for the youthful, has made the last two years a little rough and hopeful at the same time for me and my family. Therefore, school is the most important in my life, after my family; I dedicate my time and my efforts to not become just the first professional in my family, but also to be an exemplary person in society thanks to the values that my parents have instilled in me. Before coming to Houston, I studied three years of Industrial Design in Colombia; although I loved my career, I think that I was too young (15 years old) to appreciate what school was providing me and to be sure what I wanted to do in life. Once I got here I understood that what…

    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.…
