This was the start of my passion to travel around the world. One memorable trip was one that I took with my family to Vietnam when I was twelve. Life was so different there compared to the one I have at home. From the lifestyle, people, culture, tradition, and even the environment. It was definitely amazing to see the world with new eyes and a different perspective.…
December of 2015 me and my family went on a cruise to the Bahamas. This was our first cruise. Since it was right before Christmas we went on a short cruise. It was not as fun as I thought I'd be but I still enjoyed it.…
• The student’s understanding of their own heritage and how this might affect their critical thinking process? (2%) I was born in Burlington, Ontario and lived there for most of my childhood. At 9 years old, my family and I moved to Oshawa, Ontario where I currently am still living in.…
I developed a love of travel at a young age when my church would go out of town helping other churches or going to different camps. I have been to many places such as Texas and Philadelphia, I have even seen the Liberty Bell, Arlington, and the Holocaust Museum. My love of History really inspires me to travel to historic places. I plan to eventually study abroad in Europe and…
When I went to Kings Island A few years ago my family and I went to Kings Island. Kings Island is located in Mason, Ohio. I went with all of my family including; Me, my parents, my brother, my uncles, and my grandma. When we went to Kings Island we drove from my house, stopped at my grandma’s house in Indianapolis.…
I went to the Galapagos Islands and learned so much from my two week period of being there. I got to see amazing animals and meet very interesting people that I would have never encountered if I never would have ventured outside of my small home town Mooresville North Carolina. Seeing something in real life instead of a book or movie is a real eye opener. Many people do not get to see new cultures because of money or just have no interest in seeing new things. I feel very privileged that in my short lifetime I had the opportunity to go places and see things that most people will never get the chance to see in their lifetime.…
Journey to Florida I woke up with the glowing sun shining in my face and I realized it was time. I had been waiting for this since the first time my sister asked me to go with her, about four months ago. My sister, our friends, and I piled up in the van and we took off. It was the beginning of our journey to Panama City Beach Florida.…
Have you ever wanted to go to Florida? There are airboat rides and there is a lot of seafood and there are theme parks. Have you ever been on a airboat? They do tours and the people on the boat will tell you stuff about the place. You can see alligators on a airboat rides.…
Going to Haiti last summer was something I didn’t really expect. The summer prior, I had worked at Tall Timbers, a summer camp, and fell in love; it was the best summer of my life. After working there, I was dead set on working there for every summer as long as I could. But even shortly after moving out and going home at the end of that summer, I remember lying in bed one night and having the thought, what if I had to give this up? What if I never get to work at Tall Timbers again?…
I have been able to experience the culture of the countries I was visiting and able to observe the differences between theirs and mine. One thing caught my attention very quickly when I was visiting Ireland this past summer, and it was something I noticed in Italy too. That is that all of the people typically live the same. There was hardly any division of social class, something quite different from what goes on back in America. I live in the small and widely considered wealthy town of Haddonfield.…
Statement of Intent Dennis Hisamoto, Applicant for the School Psychology Program In third grade, my teacher suggested I be considered for special education. Fifteen years later, with the financial support from my scholarship, I became the first in my family to obtain a college degree. Some would call this phenomenon sweet irony. I, however, call it a rush to judgment due to a failure to acknowledge that issues outside of school could adversely bleed into the classroom.…
My Jamaica Experience Our trip to Jamaica was full of excitement, adventure, and delicious foods. Plus interesting sights and sounds. The learning experience we gained was one that we will remember for a life time. We went there as a vacation but the awareness to the island life of the people really put things in perspective of my life.…
Florida During summer vacation, in the year 2011 my family and I went on a trip to Florida to meet up with some of our relatives. This was my first time ever going to Florida and I was really excited to go. But one of us had to stay home and take care of our pets, so my dad stayed home to take care of them. It took about half a day for us to get ready to go and like 4 or 5 hours until we were out of Michigan. My brothers and I would stay up all night to see how cool the city looked at night.…
Life is short, yet many people take it for granted. Life should be spent everyday focusing on your passions. I focus my time on seeking learning opportunities, helping others and travelling. These three passions are vital in my life to sustain my well being.…
