Florida

past? To begin with, the Everglades had faced a shortage of water supply when the early settlers arrived. They came to the Everglades and they considered it useless. Thus, they had an idea to drain the Everglades, and all it’s fresh water! In “The Florida Everglades”, Haskell wrote, “ From 1905-1910, the settlers began to convert the land so it could be used for agriculture purposes!” The settlers…

spoke very highly of her supervisor and her overall experience there. On my first day at the courthouse, I was very nervous and instantly became intimidated by the extensive collection of books. For instance, I came across multiple books from The Florida Supreme Court that were written in 1846. My supervisor assured me that I would be fine but, there would be a lot to learn. As an intern my responsibility was to arrive at 8 am and set up the library for the day. That included turning on the…

It was spring break and my family and I decided to take a trip to Pensacola beach in Florida, the entire trip was amazing and memorable, but the most memorable moment for me was when we decided to walk the peer. It was getting late almost time for dinner when the sun started to go down and as the sun touched the top of the ocean the most stunning and magnificent sunset I had ever seen in my life appeared. I quickly reached into my bag to grab my brand new galaxy alpha android phone. I went to…

where she belonged so I had been many times throughout my childhood. When I started living with my dad, and my stepmother Jennifer, the opportunity to visit the ocean was never a possibility due to no one ever wanting to go. I had begged to go to Florida for vacation every summer, but we always went to Ohio. The situation changed in the summer of 2015. Since my step sister, Cynthia would be graduating the next spring, she got to choose our vacation spot, and call it a senior trip. After some…

Florida is my favorite place to go because there is so much to do.,like going to the beach, swimming, or even fishing. There are buildings upside down and weird shaped, there are lots of amazing places to eat that are not in Alabama. My favorite activity in Florida is to go go cart racing, going to the beach, and swimming. There are lots of hotels in Florida. Florida has more buildings than Alabama and taller buildings than Alabama. The reason I like Florida is because it is always warm…

Florida, a place where the weather is always good and the beaches are beautiful. Not for me though, I’m not some pessimist who hates sunshine or anything. I just have lived in it for so long, every year getting hotter and more humid. As the years “grated” on the only reason I could stand living there was because of my two best (and only friends). The 11 month summers were the worst parts. Never getting any snow got VERY boring. Another reason I hated Florida was because of the people. A lot of…

The smell of a salty breeze and the feeling of soft sand brings back a great memory. This is the first trip that I’ve taken to Florida. It is also the the furthest I’ve been out of the state of Indiana and the longest road trip I’ve taken. It was a car ride that lasted over a day and I went with my friend, Olivia, and her mother, grandfather, and both of her brothers Ben and Trevor and their families. While there we went in the ocean and pools many times. We went to shopping areas and…

Friends, Family, & Fun I spent my most recent Spring Break in Panama City Beach, Florida. It was by far the best time that I’ve ever had on vacation. I got to spend it with my friends and family. We all had such a good time during that week, but the last day had to be the best day. The morning of the last full day there I woke up all upset since we were leaving the following morning. I knew from then that my day was going to be a blast. I got out of bed and ate breakfast, the usual. I looked…

Destin Florida is my family’s favorite vacationing spot, its white sand beaches, blue green water, and beautiful ocean front condos always kept us coming back every year. The trip down to Destin was only supposed to take 12 hours, but it took us 15 due to my father’s inconvenient misreading of directions. As we finally crossed the bridge that led into Destin, waves of excitement filled each of us. Our condo was massive it was 16 stories high and only 50 yards away from the water. We all left our…

It was a bright summer morning in Big Cypress, Florida. The green palm trees were swaying and the bright blue rivers were peaceful. The long and large alligators were swimming. You could see them bobbing up and down, so all of the tourists could take quick pictures of them. There was a steady flow of people going in and out of the small, worn down nature center. As my family walked out of the car, we took in the sweet scent of Florida in the spring. We all were been in the car for a very long…
