Airport infrastructure

The first thing I remember is I am finally free. When I first came to America from Korea, it was the longest flight. Knowing that I would fall in love with this new country, I would never leave. I am nine years old in the airport, mesmerized by all of the shiny billboard and mega- televisions. I hear people speaking, but I do not understand. At that moment fear comes to the new immigrant, me. I am like a newborn baby, trying to grasp everyone’s motion and gestures. It is very overwhelming for…

I stepped off the plane and was hit by southern Vietnam’s hot, humid air. A relative I had just met handed me a water bottle and I drank from it as I scanned my surroundings. Hundreds of motorcycles zipped around the streets, some riding up onto sidewalks blanketed with dust. People lined the streets, stray dogs loped in narrow alleyways, and old men sat on plastic stools, smoking cigarettes and scratching their patchy beards. Looking up, I saw power lines clumped in a jumbled mess. Vietnam’s…

Make Up Assignment Having lived in 4 continents and travelled to numerous others, I can safely say that from a very young age, I have spent a great deal of my life at the airport and on planes. I would always be thinking about how a plane at 3,500 feet of altitude with approximately an average weight of 877,000 lbs could manage to cruise with no worry. The curiosity was always present and just kept increasing. The four years I stayed in San Diego, CA my dad would religiously take me to the air…

the teen arrived in Toronto at 8pm, Air Canada rebooked him for another flight that would be leaving the next day at 6pm. The airline did not offer him any compensation for the mishap. Throughout the next 22 hour wait, Derrin was ‘trapped’ in the airport. He was a minor (meaning under age of responsibility; 18yrs) and was not allowed to leave the building or get an hotel in the city. Overnight he slept on the floor but regardless barely even slept as he was worried if he wasn’t alert, someone…

When my family was leaving for America, everyone was really sad. I understood that they were saddened because we were leaving, but I wasn’t. I was excited that we were about to go to the airport and actually go on an airplane. I knew that it was going to be a long time before I see my aunts, uncles, and cousins again, but I didn’t want my memory of my first flight to be filled me wiping tears from my eyes and worrying that I can’t find tissues for my running nose. I was instead very excited that…

As I exited the plane, I had come to the realization that I was about to accomplish a task that I had prepared for a year now. I was going to accomplish something that millions of people had done before me. My mom patted me on the shoulder to comfort me and said, “Don’t worry, you’ll do fine.” However, I was difficult to be comforted. I was doing my Bar Mitzvah, after all. We were exhausted after the nineteen-hour flight, so we immediately rushed into the hotel and collapsed on the bed. The…

Massachusetts, like every other state, has a process whereby abandoned property is turned over to the state. The origin of unclaimed property dates back to British common law when abandoned land was returned to the king. Today, states apply this concept to all-intangible property and tangible property, other than real estate. States do not take permanent title of the property but instead act as custodians to safeguard it for the rightful owners or their heirs to claim it. Most states do not have…

Reflective Essay This past summer -- 2016 – was beautiful, amazing, fantastic, and I completely loved every second of it. I say this because I did a lot of things in this long vacation like, buy shoes and wallets. Speaking of shoes, I wore yellow Adidas originals when I rode the airplane to do a parachuting activity. Meaning I jumped off a plane, which was really scary. We didn’t even plan to go parachuting, it just happened so suddenly. I hadn’t wanted to go, but I am glad that I did it…

Test #2 Correction Question 2. Diagnosis Phase: When I first read the question, it reminded me of my multivariable calculus first class session where my professor used an example of a plane being landed in windy weather, to teach us a concept of vectors. Initially, I began to picture the scenario of a plane flying under consideration of wind being involved instead of looking at the numbers. Afterward, I drew the free body diagram of how the problem looked as using numbers and direction. Since…
