Smoothing plane

Landing in a foreign country is a bit of a culture shock, especially when that country is Afghanistan. Dirt was homogenous with everything; a thin layer in the air making it a constant dust storm and inches coated the buildings. All the buildings looked like they were still in the beginning stages of construction even though they had been up for years. People aimlessly strolled beside the segments of the demolished buildings. Men in camouflage trekked alongside the musty dirt roads carrying…

Because of risky flight conditions, a plane heading from Atlanta, Georgia to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in July, 2008 almost crashed during its landing. For many passengers, including seven year old Blake Hoffmaster and his family, the experience was traumatizing. Hoffmaster, now a freshman in high school, recalls the event, remembering that the plane was flying through a thunderstorm, and the first signs of a problem was turbulence, then the plane dropped 400 feet in two seconds when…

We have finally arrived to the new land which is America. After returning to England several times I was not sure if we would ever make it. When I was able to get off the ship with my husband and children I was overjoyed with God’s grace and his goodness. The air was so fresh when I stepped off the ship. Even though it was frightening I was just glad to be off the ship. Many people had gotten seasick but I believe that the whole trip was worth it. I am finally able to worship my God and his…

I remember standing there, trying not to pass out. Luckily I had stayed hydrated and the sun’s heat was not going to be the factor that makes me miss out on this moment. I have been waiting for about two years for this instant to come and here it is: Being accepted into the Cadet Wing. With over fifty days of basic, a whole year spent preparing me to be a respectable cadet at the preparatory school; I was finally getting those shoulder boards I’ve desperately wanted more than anything. And as my…

A Vacation in Hawaii As I stepped off of the plane and took a deep breath I felt a rush of fresh humid air flow into my body. I could taste the salt from the ocean too. I couldn't believe we had made it! I had wanted to go there all of my life and there it was right before my eyes. My Friend Makenzie was right by my side feeling everything that I was. Her uncle and aunt were going to pick us up at the airport but they hadn't told us that they were there yet so we decided to look around at some…

The flight from Venice Italy to Berlin, Germany was only an hour and forty five minutes long. We had to get excited and figure out what we wanted to do once we landed, so we watched the movie Run Lola Run because it was based in the city of Berlin. In this movie, the Berlin Wall was featured and we were told by a fellow passenger that it is a must see. Once we landed in TXL (Berlin airport), we immediately found our way to the Berlin Wall. It was still early, only 10am and our check in for our…

I am leaving. In less than few hours my life will change, completely. Fear and excitement are the main feelings that are flowing through my veins. I will never be in the nest anymore; I will never be under the protection of those wings that were always there to reassure me in case of sadness. I am learning how to fly and I am ready. Ready to travel and conquer cultures and share mine to all the individuals that I will meet in this unique journey. I am there, and I am saying goodbye, my heart…
