Beach Trip Essay

I was traveling with Catherine, Jingbo, Coco, and Coco’s mom—people I had only met the week before; Dongzhou, Randing, and Luosang were our guides. Initially, our sole intention was to spread environmental awareness to the Yushu area. However, during our tree-hugging mission, we were also able to observe the local culture and lifestyle, and somewhere along the line, the strangers I explored Yushu with became my friends. The vehicle encountered every bump in the road as we drove into the…

The last two weeks in July I went to Colorado. The first week was for family vacation and the second week my brother and I met with our church for a mission trip with an organization called Global Encounters. There were a lot of different churches and youth groups there. Every youth group was paired with another youth group and given a job that they set up every night. Some groups di clothing for the poo, some did soccer camps, and some did vacation bible school in parks. My group was paired…

This week at city experience has been packed full with lots of amazing visits to places all around Melbourne. The work load has also been very full on, but it has come together and now looks much better than I expected it to. I don’t think that I really have a favourite place as I enjoyed most of the outings we went on. I also liked the interview as I found out things that I didn't know before. I think that the main message from the interview that I got was that to help people without a home,…

Mexico Mission Trip Can one weekend change your whole life? For me one weekend did change my entire life. It was the weekend I went to Imuris, Mexico to an orphanage for a mission trip. Before that trip I was only thinking about myself and was caught up in getting everything that I want. I would have never thought that it would all change after I went on one mission trip. I decided to go to Mexico because my sister had gone on mission trips when she was in high school and I wanted to do the…

It all started on the 14th of August 2017. My teacher made my peers and me write an essay. The topic was where you would want to travel. I said to myself I want to go to Texas. The essay we had to do inspired me to go to Texas. I then decided I would like to hire a guy to tour me and my friends around. We are go to go to cool places like Dallas and Houston and we would even get to go to Arlington. I would like to travel to Texas and while I am there, I would visit the cities of Dallas, Houston…

moments they remembered something else that was beautiful. What Dan remembered was the happier points in their marriage. The mockingbird that Dan saw outside the café window and pointed out to Nancy showed what he tried to regain through their summer trip (186). Just a simple life together that’s elegance resided in the mundane nature of existing. One element present in both instances with the animals was Dan saw them first and through a window. Also the fact that he saw them both through a…

The morning was crazy almost being late to school and missed the bus for the 8th grade overnight trip.The bus was late by 15 minutes and it felt like an eternity. I was rushing like crazy because the bus came late and I had to wake up super early because i had to get to school at 8:00am. The bus ride to Indian Head Camp took like 2 hours. The bus ride wasn’t bad because I sat with my best friends and we ate snacks that we brought the day before. When we got to the camp it was bigger than we…

Back then, I thought that the state of Kansas was just flat and boring with nothing but farms and bipolar weather. This trip kind of let everyone escape from reality. No jobs, no school, and no bills to pay. It seemed as if everyone was living their own fantasy. Off the court my family and I had a blast. Even my little brother and sisters were enjoying themselves even though…

us turn in our phones on the bus ride up and did not give them back until about an hour into our trip home. This renunciation of my phone placed me in a form of isolation that was reminiscent to the common theme of solitude that author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry experienced and discussed in his memoir, Wind, Sand and Stars. I had never gone without my phone for an extended period of time before this trip so I found my experience…

The Trip of a Lifetime Ever since I was little, I loved the idea of going all over the world. My family never had the money to travel anywhere exciting, but the summer of 2016 was different. My uncle Terry lives in Spokane, which is in Washington. My mom decided it was time to go on vacation and visit, so we hopped on a train and went to visit him. My mom, my uncle Cory, my four cousins and I all went together, so they could also see Terry. In my opinion, the most exciting part was the train…
