I would just hear them talk about how the weather was going to be nice, see long time family members, see a different atmosphere, and enjoy eat a lot of food. Everything seems like a perfected vacation. I thought we were going to go to Houston Texas, or San Francisco California. I was completely wrong we were going to Mexico! I could not believe it Mexico. I asked my parents why there? Did they not love their children or were they extremely crazy. Well I am a person that loves to watch the news, and Mexico was not the safest place to be at. Regardless of the state you visited, no matter where you are in Mexico this country is dangerous. The boarder states are …show more content…
I still felt secure because I was just a few miles away from my country (USA). Once my dad started to drive to our destination, I felt like I am in a movie of terror. Looking everywhere to see where the monster or killer would come after me. I did not let my little sister speak no English, because I was afraid that they would get kidnap, and since we are Americans in Mexico they have the aspect that money grows on tress. Driving eight hours seemed like eight days. They good thing was that it was very sunny and we made to Durango, Durango. Once there I felt safer. I was familiar with atmosphere there.

I also forgave and forgot problems that I have with old family members. I was having a time of my life that I forgot about all the dangers that occurred in Mexico. My dad did tell me we were are not involved in absolutely nothing illegal or our past generation either. I had eaten so much food like tacos, Mexican style hamburgers, tamales, and a lot more. It was two days before New Year’s Eve, and I could not believe that none on my jeans fit me. I was blaming the alcohol, because I was drinking every night. I would not let go of the Tequila and margaritas. The one to blame was all the food that I was eating too. I celebrated Christmas and New Year’s like never before! January 2nd came, and all my disappointments came along. This day was the last day of my vacation in Durango, Durango. Two weeks went by fast it few by.

    In Costa Rica, I was a foreigner for the first time in my life, and I learned that it is scary to be an outsider. I knew a limited amount of Spanish so I felt overwhelmed when I had to speak to any of the natives. I gained empathy for everyone who has the courage to visit another country. I learned that it is really important to find locals who are helpful and kind, since it is super easy to get lost in a foreign country, especially when you can’t read any of the signs. It felt empowering to be able to find my way through a country that was completely new to me.…

    This March, my family and I took a trip to Mexico for vacation. We did many fun things down there such as; parasailing, went on a boat for a day trip, sail boating, went swimming in the ocean, buggy board, sand volleyball, swam in the pool, walked the beach at night, got henna tattoos, a dread in our hair and went to the club with my brother and Emerson. The sand on my feet, the crashing of the waves, people swimming in the ocean, the smell of sunscreen and the wonderful taste of my flamingo drink; Mexico is my kind of place to be. But the first day in particular sticks out to me the most, the day we went parasailing and sail boating. Waking up in the morning in your soft hotel comforter, gives you a great feeling.…

    My series of rather challenging events seven years ago, when my family moved from Myanmar to the United States. I had just turned nine when my sister received news that she was accepted into UC Berkeley. My whole family was ecstatic as we prepared for our move to San Francisco. People tried to explain to me what it would be like to live on the other side of the ocean. Little did I know, San Francisco and Yangon were polar opposites - one a bustling, concrete city and the other a quiet, somber town.…
