As I jumped out of the car ready to start the new vacation I was amazed by the vast size of the ship and all I would do this week. The Ocean Spray hit me as we entered the dock. I could not believe I was finally here after what felt like years of waiting for this trip. The ship was a huge Carnival and it had a slide on the top it was a shade of bright red and made me think of a water park in the midst of summer and walking towards the ship I could not stop looking at it. The slide was peaked on the top of the cruise and was the highest point except of course for the funnel. As we entered the cruise ship we were greeted by the large monumental Lobby.The size of the lobby seemed to be at least half the size of the ship I felt like miniscule being as I fought the urge to say and admire the grand lobby The rushing of waves pounding against the vast cruise ship as we entered caught me off balance as I stumbled to catch my feet. I stepped on the pink and orange marble floor in the lobby of the ship it smelled like the misty ocean salty air. It was as beautiful as doves ready to take flight. I was thinking of all the amazing things I would do on this cruise in the next week. As I looked around the lobby something caught my eye. It was a glass elevator even the bottom was made of glass. As I looked at it I realized that everyone was in line for it. I pleaded to my mom “Can we please ride up to our rooms on the elevator” “Yes please” my sister joins in “Fine but we ALL will have to…

Have you ever sat at home and just got the urge for a pizza? We all do this but some of us simply go to the closest pizza shop and get a greasy, overpriced pizza, feel unhealthy the next morning and regret buying the pizza, as well as having less money in our pockets. I have done this plenty of times. I would be much better off if I thought about my decision before just jumping in the car and going to the nearest place. From this moment onwards, I know where I will be going for a pizza even if…

and how quickly I improved. By the time I reached middle school, I began to identify myself as a jock. I played for the school basketball team and spent almost every day practicing. Sometime around sixth grade, I had to do a project about my heritage and from that point on I became very interested in my own culture. I am half Mexican and half European which creates a very interesting mix of cultures. My mom’s family came from France, Scotland and Germany and settled in Mississippi, Tennessee…
