Florida is a land of sun palm trees and sand. Florida being a southern state with sweet tea, Publix, and Disney just a few hours away, had many perks. I had never thought of what it might be like to grow up in a northern area, or just even outside of Florida. Up until my 14th summer I had always assumed everyone lived the same way I did. It had all started when I got accepted to a summer program in Washington D.C to attend a medical forum.…
My number one food to eat there is Spaghetti and Meatballs. Sometimes after we eat at a restaurant, I go to the store with my mom to get Florida Root Beer. That's one of my favorite memories! In addition to the excellent restaurants, there are beaches that are filled with gross seaweed. Once, I went to the beach…
I truly enjoy the company of my family, and just to always be with them. Having great people to go on a trip to a beautiful outstanding place just makes it so much more exciting and lively. A favorite memory of mine was going out late at night to the lake and swimming. The atmosphere at night is a lot different than it is at day. In the day it can be quite crowded and sometimes noisy.…
Here I am today singing songs about the south-land;because I miss 'ole' 'bamy once again. Years ago I left my home state of Alabama,where the skies are so blue and I moved to the not so great state of Montana. Many people questioned me on why I moved to Montana, and my response back is because in that moment I felt like I needed a change, but in the end I think I made the wrong choice to move away from Alabama. But soon I will be back to sweet home Alabama,oh,Lord, I'm coming home to you. Back in early March of 1974,I was working at a local convenience store.…
Hello Shefa, are you moving to Newton? Wow, that's awesome! I haven't herd you from a while, since you're busy with moving. I know it's going to be hard moving from Turkey to here. I herd you were going to continue with classes or start them here.…
Growing up in Michigan has been a dream come true. The sights and sounds of the Upper Peninsula are something out of a picture book. Looking out your living room window and overlooking one of the Great Lakes is something not everyone gets to experience. Moving away brought me to another great lake, another beautiful view, and more sights to see. Living in Michigan is like a never-ending tour of sightseeing.…
I grew up in a place where the neighbors lived a mile away, the animals ran loose all the time, and if you really felt like it, you could walk outside naked and nobody could really see you. It was a small town where everybody knew everybody; when driving down the road, you knew who was in the car passing you, and by the off chance you didn't, you still waved anyways. Going to the local gas station for a soda or to fill up the truck turned into a trip to go see your friends and visit. The family lived right around the corner, and bonfires were a regular thing. "Sedgewickville Population: 173" is what the town's sign said.…
If you walk into any establishment in the state of Texas you will see a bit of Texas pride wherever you go. Walk into a barbershop in Texas and you will see items of the states history hanging on the walls or a picture of the states famous residents. The State of Texas is known for its state of pride. If you have ever been to the state of Texas then you know exactly what I am talking about. Even if someone who has never been to the state before meets someone from Texas they could just tell by the way they carry themselves that they have a large amount of pride in their state.…
Before I first started at North Greenville University, I was a student of the Spartanburg County School District Two community in Boiling Springs, South Carolina. A remote place that did not have much to offer at first glance. This is probably because I am originally from the crowded and industrialized city of Philadelphia. Yet, during the almost decade that I have resided in Boiling Spring, it has become increasingly similar to the hustle and bustle that I left behind. Although Boiling Springs will never truly embody the presence of northern life, the constant construction of new businesses and expanding of frequently traveled roads are beginning to meet my expectations.…
The general point of “Alabama”. The general point of the song is about segregation. How the governor doesn’t like other colored people like blacks. Until a black doctor helped save his life and so began to be against segregation all because a black doctor saved his life. So the governor had changed into a better person in life.…
“Deeper Into my Life” Individuals are unique in their own ways and one of mine happens to be my name, Darrnyejah Bolds. Everywhere I go people have a hard time pronouncing it. Many people have given up and just refer to me as “Ms. Bolds,” but also I have two nicknames “Nye”, and “Nyejah,” which is mostly used by family and friends. Over the years, I have adjusted to my nicknames and became very comfortable with them. I entered this world on February 27, 1997 with the zodiac sign of Pisces.…
Driving through the town on a damp morning, breathing in the crisp air as I think about how lucky I am to be able to I’ve in this town. Many put the town down about being small and such. But it’s a small town, so there isn’t much to do unless you're an outdoorsy person. If you love the outdoors, then many outdoor activities are easy to do. We are blessed to have the mountains surrounding us with white snow caps, the Bitterroot River flowing close, and forests to explore.…
My wife and I love living in Arizona. We moved out here a few years ago from New York and never looked back. Sure, we miss everyone at home, but the mild winters, abundant sunshine, affordable real estate, proximity to dozens of amazing attractions, and low-cost of living, easily make up for that. We settled in a town named Goodyear located about twenty minutes west of downtown Phoenix. It’s the best of both worlds as we enjoy suburban living, but have access to everything the city offers.…
When planning a vacation, many will book hotels on the coast of the beach, assuming this to be the best option. It’s inexpensive and one of the most popular vacation spots. But a vacation the mountains? Absurd. However; Gatlinburg, Tennessee is one of the best vacations you will ever take.…
Growing up in Texas has it 's pros and cons, but as a child I would practically think that the cons like unpredictable weather, and skin-melting Summers meant…
