Permanent Vacation When I was fifteen years old, my dad called a “family meeting.” What I thought was minor turned into a major change in life. What my dad told my family that night was that we could be leaving. This type of leaving was something that I wasn’t used to. He didn’t mean leaving for dinner, or leaving for vacation, He meant leaving for good. Leaving my friends and family, to live in Dallas, Texas. The move from Shreveport, Louisiana to Dallas, Texas might not seem like a big deal.…
everything seemed normal. I looked out my window on the fifth story of our hotel. I saw the birds flying in the air. My family and I were on vacation in Miami, Florida. It was such an amazing resort! All of the sightseeing we had done was incredible, and we even went snorkeling a couple of days ago! Seeing all of the fish and other aquatic life was so amazing. “Jessica, we are going to be late!” my mom yelled. It took me by surprise and instantly stopped my day dreaming. “Sorry, Mom,” I…
Case Study Narrative: On a lazy, sunny, summer day several years ago in St. Joseph, MI, I was recently into my first summer vacation. My first year of full time teaching was complete and I was enjoying some downtime. I had worked with special needs students, students with emotional impairments and students with Autism for several years prior; mostly through community mental health organizations or subbing in local school districts, nothing full time or steady. One thing that I did know was…
that dream a little over two years ago when I started as a normal part time Cast Member at the Disneyland Resort. Due to unforeseen circumstance I had to leave the Disney in order to focus more time and effort on schooling. Eventually I came around to my junior year at Biola and started looking into the possibilities of applying for internships. It is then that I came across the Disney College Program website. I ended up doing a ton of research on the program and found it to be a unique program…
little diversity and culture represented in my Massachusetts home; it was a bit of a culture shock arriving in New York City. Here; different cultures are represented, various opinions are presented, and social norms are rejected. With this refreshing outlook on life, I believe it is necessary to get outside of your comfort zone and become aware of your surroundings. Back in my home town of Marshfield, I felt completely closed off to the rest of the world. My town was made up of little…
unexpectedly. Until this day, I have been constantly reminding myself that life is short and when death knocks on your door, you can’t really call 911 or do anything. Now my thoughts towards death and what happens after I die became more distressing and uncontrollable. I’ve come to…

assignment. I had drawn up a blank graphic organizer and explained how to use it. I asked him to pick a topic and insert it in the middle of the organizer. He chose to write about his family vacation to Disney World. I then instructed him to start branching out different experiences he had during his vacation and write them in each circle. He immediately filled almost every circle of the organizer. I then took a sheet of paper and asked him to write me a small essay using the organizer…
when my parents had told us that we were going to Cancun, Mexico I had very mixed emotions about the vacation. Being in Cancun, and feeling the warmth of the Sun, I was ecstatic for. But the almost 4 hour plane ride there and back was an agonizing thought. Currently, I’m walking through the air-bridge and onto the plane while on the verge of anxiety. While we were looking for a seat I noticed little five year olds sitting down and looking as if they…
non-judgmental place where you can talk about anything on your mind. Being in middle or high school can make you feel alone even though you are never alone, there is always someone that is in a very similar position as you who can help you or guide you through. My circumstances of committing to Jesus started in 7th grade when I first when to Wyldlife. Before coming I had been going to church almost every Sunday but not caring and not believing what was said. After…
