The streets quickly filled with people, and everyone was in a partying mood. Some were climbing up street lights, some on Chicago statues, and others on ambulances. At one point, there was a literal traffic jam, and nobody was able to move for a solid 15 minutes. Public transport was even more chaotic. My group of friends and I were stuck at a train station for roughly 3 hours trying to get back home.…
I am Raquel (Ruh-kel). A young and vibrant girl with a personality influenced by the southern charm of Atlanta, GA. I am a creative being who views the world as a big question mark who's answers lie where the ocean meets the horizon and the mountains kiss the clouds. I've traveled to a few places here in the States, but it wasn't until my 20th birthday trip to Los Angeles, California that I knew I had to see the foreign beauties this world has to offer. Since then, I've been to Miami, London, Amsterdam, and New Orleans.…

Throughout my tour of the greater Chicago area, I saw countless of interesting things, from the people walking the streets to up to all the admirable buildings. While not knowing my way around the city I got lost multiple times which was very exasperating and time consuming, but my overall experience of walking the loop was somewhat tolerable. The two buildings that stood out me the most were the Willis Tower and the Kluczynski Federal Building. These two building stood out to me because of the overall structure of it, I thought both buildings were constructed beautifully. The Willis Tower is one of the tallest buildings in the world and also the tallest building in America.…
My life has allowed me to be exposed to people from all over the world. I have family scattered across America and Europe. I travel to Texas yearly, and Germany every three years, and have taken many other trips as well. In addition, my parents are both college professors, so I have grown up in college towns and been exposed to all the diversity that comes with them. This exposure to many different kinds of people and lifestyles has contributed to and had a large impact on the person that I am today.…
Chicago today represents the core values of America’s heartland-integrity, hard work and a sense of community. The multicultural city flourishes on the harmony and diversity of its neighborhoods and reflects these ideals in the social fabric of its districts. Steely skyscrapers and magnificent buildings vie with gourmet cuisine from top chefs and rock festivals to seek the people’s attention. The windy city wows its audience with its cultural awesomeness.…
After that my brother, sister, and I were guided to the couches that were located in the lobby, while my parents spent about twenty agonising minutes checking us in. After the long flight I just wanted to lay down and rest, but my dad thought it would be a wonderful idea to go out into the city and explore some of the many different places. Groaning and dragging my feet along with shoulders hunched forward I followed my eager parents into a place that I had never been before. The hustle and bustle of the day was all around me, and the amount of people who were walking throughout the streets and the sidewalk was astounding. About five minutes into the walk a loud noise boomed throughout the entire city chanting words in a language I had never heard before.…

My family went on a vacation to chicago to see my sister graduate from the navy. Instead of flying there we took a train to chicago. That was the best ride on a train that I have ever taken. When we got to chicago it was a big train depot. We had to walk forever until we got to the taxi that was going to pick us up to take us to the car that my dad had rented.…
My mom packed heaps of stuff and somehow, magically it all fits in this small 2 by 4 luggage bag. The taxi ride was interesting as it drove past the new empire states tower (old empire states building was destroyed in meteorite strike) which was built over a huge crater. I arrived at a motel and rented a room then set out to the museum where they are showing a free broadcast of jurassic world 10, best movie of 2063. The museum was large very large to the point where it dwarfs the entire national airport.…
I finally saw the the beautiful sun for the first time without having to bend my head back as far as I could since I had been in New York. It shone down brightly, warming my skin and glimmering off the glass of the skyscrapers in the near distance. I could finally feel the soft breeze wrap around me and not get deflected from the buildings. I watched the people from the city enter the park and watched as their city attitudes give way to the magical ambiance of the park. I closed my eyes and took it all in, and I could’ve stayed on top of that rock for…
The day my life changed for the better. I am talking about the day that I got my first puppy. Considering that I have always wanted a puppy so bad, I knew that this day was going to change my life. It all started about a week before when our family was discussing what puppy we should get and how old it should be. This automatically filled me up with excitement and made me realize how much I wanted a dog and for how long.…
The most memorable day in my life was spectacular. It was full of music, dashing performances, scrumptious foods, and all the glamourous apparel one needs to have a ball. I was surrounded by the most-soundest of the mind members of my family. Whom all performed just leadership sharing the family vision, and wisdom. I despised not the discourse of the elders.…
I have had many great days, but the most memorable day in my life was August 6, 2004 when I gave birth to the most precious gift one could ask for. A handsome bouncing baby boy named Jhaquan Kevin Mario Lewis was born. When I woke up at 6:00 am on that morning I knew today was the day. I felt all the heaviness of this world in my lower abdomen and a series of painful contractions that I had never felt during the last nine months. I was home alone…
