However, little did I know the planning had already begun. A couple friends of mine mentioned taking a road trip to the city. Listening to this statement, I immediately was disappointed because we always go to Saint Louis. After a little more discussion I slowly became more interested because the city they were…

It was the summer of my senior year. My dad had hauled my family to a little country called Cambodia. We were visiting my dad’s girlfriend’s family. Exploring and traveling across this beautiful country. Food was huge while were over there. Half of them I couldn’t pronounce, and fruits that would smell worse coming out than going in. I was missing American food so bad by the time to go home. While we were there my brother and father had gotten sick, I had not. They had a little stomach aches that…
If I had to choose my favorite season it would be a very difficult choice. All four seasons are unique in their own special way, such as the climate, scenery, and activities. Although I enjoy the warmer months of summer, I also enjoy the cooler months of winter. In a sense, I have narrowed my favorite seasons down to two; summer and winter. The biggest difference between summer and winter is the climate. One of the main attractions of summer is the warm weather. I like being outside…

Our families would socialise every two or three weeks whether it was at a party or just spending Friday evenings together. Unfortunately, around 7 years ago, The…
Most of my life I have allowed others to define me. Not only did I let others assume who I am, I even would (still do) let others make decisions for me. The summer of my junior year I let a lot of people assume things about me. It was an important summer of finding myself in terms of my sexuality. That summer was very hectic because of how I grew up, my family 's values, and how I felt about all of it. It lead to a regretful decision. Before talking about myself, my parents are both Seventh-Day…
