Bus stop

gotten off our bus to walk home. Our bus stop was in the cul-de-sac at the beginning of the neighborhood and we all lived either right in the middle or in the far back. It was a three-day weekend so we were all trying to figure what to do. Our choices were to either go fishing off the docks in the back of the neighborhood or go swimming from our small bit of sandy, muddy beach that has murky water coming up on it. I lived off the Lake Pontchartrain at the time. My house was the first stop on…

separated me from being like them? The school bus lurched forward. We approached closer and closer to yet another stop, where a parent stood waiting in grim expression. Five students stood. If there were ever worst days, this was one of them. I closed my eyes to suspend the watery burn of tears. Eight more stops. Seven. Six. The bus was gradually quieting, as more kids left for their homes, their own sanctuaries. Only four more stops. Three. There was something there, at the very edges…

under my feet as I walked through the brisk air. The sky was a gloomy shade of gray and not a single cloud dotted the sky. I was headed toward the big, yellow, mechanical beast known as the school bus. If you combine pandemonium and a very small box with a lot of teenagers shoved inside you get a school bus. At times, I wondered if the…

Community- The first environment that we explored was Ecuador's capital, Quito. Quito is composed of a crowded atmosphere, which starts from the minute the sun rises to after the sun sets. Every Morning as my partner and I walked to the nearest bus stop, we observed how the streets were filled with cars, taxis and people walking. The large amount of cars that were in the city increased the amount of smog in the air. As the buses drove passed us, we experienced the extreme and profound smell of…

Jeff Binney challenges the societal norms by showing that his childhood doesn't define him, showing that a positive mindset can conquer a challenge like the Leadville 100oo, and showing that following his dreams is tough but…

DAY 1 The first day can be described with the following words: long, boring, interesting, dangerous and wet. We departed from Marosvasarhely at around 9 AM with a bus; I must say that this was my longest trip since my accident. It was so LONG that I dozed off several times during the trip. Luckily we made a few stops to pick up several other passengers too which made the trip less BORING. Of course, we also had many awesome sightseeings but still, just sitting for over 4 hours doing…

11/18 Colca canyon. For a long time Colca Canyon was the deepest in the world until it was discovered that it is actually two different canyons. Now Colca Canyonn is said to be the worlds second largest canyon although some argue it is the third. It is twice as deep as the Grand Canyon. Giant condors live in the canyons with wing spans of up to 9 feet. For those who love to hike this is a destination worth visiting. I am really disappointed that I was unable to hike the canyon and felt that…

and his brothers are not home when they should be. Dominic said "hey shouldn’t we get Tristan's brothers from school." Me and Tristan "nah." so we just got in his truck (really its his dads truck but he drives it up and down his dirt road for the bus). We hop in the truck Tristan driving, cause he is the oldest and we drive to my house because I have guns and defenses. As were driving we see waves of people, young, old and babies in the street being pushed. we take a hard left into my…

but to troubling myself. As a result of my own deed, I had to walk to the nearest bus stop every morning to catch the school bus, until Miss Rina returning my bike. When? I have no clue… Walking lazily that morning, as usual, I was late again. Therefore, I needed to wait for a public bus or a taxi. 15 minutes waiting, not a single bus pass by, not even a taxi. I was the only one standing there waiting for the bus I missed for my unpunctuality. At eight, which means in twenty minutes, I need to…

Merriam Webster defines Gentrification as, “the process of renewal and rebuilding accompanying the influx of middle-class or affluent people into deteriorating areas that often displaces poorer residents”. On Urban Dictionary, where users can submit their own definitions of words, one person believes gentrification is “When a bunch of white people move to the ghetto and open up a bunch of cupcake shops”, while another definition from the same site states Gentrification is ,“a racist term used by…
