The Cookout

the Mexican food my family makes. She was so thankful that we spent the day with her that she invited us to her home for a cookout and we were all very excited. It was so much fun getting to spend the evening with Julia and her family. It was such a joy a pleasure getting the chance to hear them sing and play music round the fire. Sitting there and hearing them felt so surreal. It felt as if it were a scene from a movie where you watch the family bonding by singing campfire songs. This was just like that! It was amazing hearing how good Marco is at playing the guitar and he’s so young! Although we had already eaten, Julia was so nice she prepared some snacks for us. She made a mango pico that was delicious! I had never tried something like that ever and it was very good. Julia and Carlos were telling Talitha and I that there are over seven different types of mangos! Many of which were right in their backyard. Since I stayed much later then some of the other girls, I got the chance to try the Honduran beer, which was rather tasty. Talitha and I also had more time to play and sing with the family, which was a lot of fun. Many of the girls had left earlier from the cookout at Julia’s house because we had been invited to another cookout with some Zamorano students. After Carlos dropped the rest of us off, we all went to find the others at the Zamorano cookout. Once we arrived we notice that many of the girls had already had too much to drink and that the party was slowly…

For my first essay I will be writing about the Greek cookout I went to on Monday September 5th, 2016. It was a very hot day, with no clouds in the sky, so all you felt were the sun beams hitting your skin. This was an informal event for the Greeks and students of George Mason University to get to know each other and just have a fun time; with music and food that got cooked on the grill. I went to this event with the intentions of finding which sorority I felt the most connection/ comfortable…

The crews were at to achieve that goal and eliminated the possibility of layoffs. By having a fleet of only having Boeing 737s, Southwest has been able to keep maintenance cost extremely low.

The reason being, everyone is on a different schedule and it is difficult making plans. However, when we do have the opportunity to make plans it is mostly during the fall. Cookouts, bonfires, fishing, and just being outdoors has been something we all enjoy doing together as a family. A perfect fall day is spent on the lake all day fishing then coming home having a cookout and bonfire. My favorite part of the bonfire is making s’mores. You cannot go wrong with s’mores. As we all know Halloween…

business to prosper while building an excellent team. However, some employees manage to appear to possess all three required characteristics, but as their work schedules grow longer, they seem to forget about the three golden rules of their required characteristics.

Thousands of people had to flee the area. Many were killed as this wildfire spread throughout 55,000 acres of land. Since fire is so dangerous i'm going to give some safety tips about fire during the holidays Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. On Fourth of July many people light fireworks but…

A good Super Bowl commercial should be able to advertise their product in an effective way. They should persuade the people watching their commercial to want their product. . The “Yellow Tail” commercial does not advertise their product using pathos, ethos, and logos and their commercial was not interesting. They start off the commercial with everyone having a good time at a party and they are drinking the wine that is being advertised. They say the name of the wine but they put more attention…

that to take up a dry and arrogant dialect just to have satisfaction in fitting in with what was “normal”. Every summer since my brother and I were born we took a month long trip to West Virginia. California was my home, it was what I was accustomed to, but as we visited West Virginia every year it became a part of me too. Approaching the airplane every summer was a bittersweet feeling, I was leaving my friends but there was such a comfort in knowing I would be back in the “hills and hollars’,…

Thomas and three of his friends decided they wanted to race to cookout down a main road that was not typically busy at night. In one car there was Thomas and Cameron and in the other was Jabreeze and Ishaun. Halfway through the race, Jabreeze was pulled over. Before the cop could even get up to Jabreeze's car, another car was trying to pull out of a side street. Thomas swerved to miss the car but was going too fast and ended up wrapping his Mustang around a tree. He died instantly, there were…
