My Trip to Washington DC

We were just landing at the airport and got off our plane. We walked through the terminal collecting our luggage, then walked outside. It was late, around 11pm and was a crisp, cool night and it was raining. We were picked up by Brian’s friend Smiley and his wife Kathryn in their black Ford F150. We threw are bags in the back and the climbed in the truck and went for a thirty minute drive. It was almost midnight when we arrived at Smiley’s house and brought our bags in and fell asleep. We had just gotten off of a four hour flight and were in Washington DC. We came to see Brian’s friends and sightsee, it would become one of our favorite trips ever.

They were delicious, you could really taste the great amount of flavor with every bite. You’d bite into the warm crust and just be bombarded with a great taste of berry, cinnamon and sugar, or many other delicious flavors. The tarts were flaky and baked to perfection, they were a truly delicious treat. We then got our own meals. I got eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and toast. I got sharp cheddar cheese on the eggs and hashbrowns because, to put it simple, I love cheese. The whole meal was delicious and we all couldn’t finish our massive amounts of food. We paid and walked out into the cool, crisp, autumn air, called an Uber and left to go sightseeing.

I had started raining lightly as we drove downtown, we used Uber's to get everywhere there, Brian’s friend Smiley didn’t have a spare car so we used Ubers. We went to the Space and Aeronautics center in Washington and I really... how would you put it? I nerded out as we got to the Second World War section. There were five planes in the exhibit, one from each major country excluding

    When I visited George Washington my sophomore year of high school, I instantly knew that your school is where I wanted to go for college. It just wasn't like any of the other colleges that I had seen before, and for that matter it was unlike any I have seen since. I saw that GW is in a beautiful location and that its presence in the capitol greatly enhances both its value and the city’s around it. I really liked walking around the campus, as it was extremely vibrant. I saw that safety is also important, and the combination of security that holds jurisdiction in this area is extremely reassuring.…

    Our field trip to Chicago offered me a new way of seeing the city. I have been to Chicago multiple times, yet this trip offered me an experience I was not expecting. It offered me an insight to the darkness that covers the city and the beacons of light that try to shine through that darkness. It opened my eyes to those who are searching for a truth, a love and an acceptance and are finding it in so many different places; whether it is Jesus People USA, South East Friendship Center, Olive Branch, a Krishna Temple or an Islamic Mosque. In each of these places individuals are just trying to figure out where they belong and if they can find acceptance, but what each offers is entirely different.…

I observed the text on the brightly lit screen of my chromebook, searching for the answers to the questions on my homework. I stared at the screen with a look of confusion on my face. Little did I know that the next few moments would put my hard work to some use.…

    From smelling the salty waters by the Florida Keys, seeing all of the green from the stems of green beans growing, the flavor of the freshest eggs you could get from the coop in the backyard, to the avocado tree growing in the backyard, my trip to Florida had become one of the greatest life experiences I’ve had yet. Visiting Florida taught me many skills on being independent, mentally, and how easy and fun it is just to be to yourself sometimes. It all started Christmas eve when I got home to find my presents from “Santa” there before we even went to bed. My parents had planned on taking a vacation to Florida for Christmas break to see my grandparents, but we were unable to also get my parents there.…

    It took me by surprise and instantly stopped my day dreaming. “Sorry, Mom,” I yelled back. I had almost forgot that today was the day we were going to go sailing over the ocean. I ran to the bathroom, almost tripping over my smooth green and blue flip flops laying in the middle of the bedroom floor. My favorite red dress hanging over the chair, and my jean shorts I had worn the night before was laying on the top…
