San Antonio Escapade By Kirstine Arcayan
This summer I went to a percentage of places and did a bunch of things. I will tell you what I have done this amazing summer in San Antonio, Texas.
Moreover, I visited San Antonio with my family and some of my friends. One of the things we did there is we went to the Riverwalk. We went there when it was dark, so the lights looked very bright and sparkly. We saw all of the colorful and bright lights under the starry night sky. At the Riverwalk there was also a mall, so we went shopping.
Next, my family and some friends went to Aquatica. Aquatica is an extremely entertaining water park in San Antonio. I went on a thrilling water slide called The Stingray. I had a great deal of enjoyment because I kept

Although it took forever to get here I wanted to stay there for a while, the lights were amazing as the neon lights of the Las Vegas strip were lit up and very beautiful. Many people walked through the stores, or outside them enjoying the lights. I saw a roller coaster next to a castle, A hotel I suppose, and A giant black pyramid. I’m glad I went on this trip, I was very patient getting here,…

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…

    We got to see stalagmites, stalactites, flowstones, chandeliers and soda straws. We took lots and lots of pictures because if I didn't slow my family, I feel like they wouldn't have believed me. We spent about half our day there, and then after that she took me to the San Antonio Zoo. That zoo was humongous, way bigger than the one in the valley. I saw monkeys, elephants, rhinoceros, lions, zebras, and even penguins.…

    Since I was born, I have lived in Laredo; throughout, my time here Laredo has grown tremendously along with the community here. Recently I turned eighteen and recalling back all those years is nostalgic, but gratifying at the same time because in those years I have been able to grow along with my family. As mentioned before, I have lived in Laredo my whole life and although the majority may dislike Laredo for their own reasons it has truly been a blessing for my family and I since the day we arrived here.

    When I was five years old, my mother decided that we should move in with her boyfriend. I did not know him; in fact, I remember not knowing anything about him at all. We moved into a house in a nice neighborhood, but living with my stepfather was exceedingly difficult at first because I was only used to having my mother to myself. Before moving in with him, my mother had raised me in a Hispanic community; now moving to El Paso, I had to get used to a very Americanized neighborhood. I struggled to get used to my new life in El Paso.…
