Descriptive Essay: Welcome To Southern California
Drip, Drip, Drip. Finally, the sounds of the blessed rain that Southern California has been waiting for has arrived.

Before, it was “Welcome to California where the sun is hot and our grass is dry”. Now, with the fall of every rain drop off my rooftop it appears to be another weight taken off the shoulders of the sky and dropped into the grateful tongues of tinged yellow below.

Each drop replenishes the soil below.

Yet, it is not only the ground beneath me that desires to grow and show its beauty, but the passion and dreams of my fellow scholars and I.

When I look out the grey window I want to see my opportunity to heal as the water does. For me, I desire to design remedies for the attritions that lie within the body through biomedical

    Going to Southern California, no one would think of packing an umbrella. Why would they? California is in the middle of a drought. When someone thinks of California, they think of baby blue skies and palm trees along the streets. But, of course, the weekend my family decided to visit Disneyland, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld is the weekend Southern California experienced what the local news called a “tropical depression.”…

    After our presentations this past week I was provided with a lot of insight on places all over the united states that I may want to move too in the future. It is very important too travel and break out of your comfort zone in order to experience new things in life. That being said I have narrowed where I would like to move down to two different places, but there is one place I refuse to move too, because it would be too much of a culture shock for a boy who was born and raised in Middlesex County, New Jersey.…

    Hurtado says in his book intimate Frontiers that “each newcomer transformed California the exotic into California the familiar, a long established pattern that yet continues” (133). I somewhat agree with Hurtado’s statement that everyone who migrated to California for whatever reason tried to convert California into a place that looks familiar, each and every person left their mark on California, and this is why California today is a blend of different cultures and different races. Even today we see a lot of immigrants try to fit in, in order to fit in they try to change things, make their temples, churches, mosques, they make their own community centers, they do this so that they don’t feel too alienated, they try to turn it into something familiar. This is what people back then did; they tried to turn the exotic into familiar. It is normal that people who migrate to other places they try to turn it into something familiar, something that doesn’t look or feel too different from what they are used to of, they try to make changes according to their needs, their beliefs and their traditions; that are what happened back then, people tried to introduce and impose their religious and social ideas. There were very few women in California so people brought women from their own races into California to establish families here; the exotic Indian women were replaced by familiar women.…

    Joan Didion, a concerned citizen living in the nicer parts of Los Angeles near the ocean, writes the “Los Angeles Notebook” about the return of the Santa Ana winds and how the winds are altering the ordinary behaviors of the Los Angeles citizens. Didion claims the Santa Ana winds aren’t just in Santa Ana, but also in Switzerland, and are very perilous with a strong disruption in normal human nature, suggesting a mechanistic behavior. Through her use of apprehensive diction, eerie imagery, and suspenseful syntax, Didion depicts the winds as a threatening entity.…

    Pacific Palisades is a small, strange town. In rainy weather, the streets turn to a slippery, wet endless abyss of freshly paved blacktop. Succulent plants grow abundantly in front of the almost- mansions. The Palisades Park is near my house, and the whole community revolves around it. Somehow, the weather was good. The dogs were fluffy and cute. The cars were Mercedes and Porsche brands, but still not fast enough for their owners. The men are always dressed well and have good jobs. The women dress in yoga pants, and are often running, or doing Pilates. The people move quite quickly. They go shopping at Acaí Nation. The time goes by fast every day. Money is abundant, yet everyone is thriving for more in this technological and materialistic…

    When one thinks of summer, it immediately comes to mind the sight of sandy beaches, amusement parks and hot sunny days. Coney Island, an extravagant vacation playground to visit especially for the summer. I have recently had an opportunity to come to such a wonderful place that the sights are still engraved in my mind. There were other attractions that I have missed out on mainly since I had only one day there. If time was not an issue, I would have definitely visited more programs that they provide. Getting there is also not a problem due to their cheap and handy subway system. One thing to be cautioned about is that it can get extremely busy on the weekends, so the best time to be there would be on the weekdays, especially if you do not want…

    Living in Texas most of my life I was no stranger to Americans who either didn’t speak English at all or whose first language wasn’t English. As I interacted with people, mostly from Mexico, I had a hard time understanding why they didn’t want to speak English . Although I’m ashamed to say it, I often viewed these people as less educated and meek. A statement that Ive heard all to often is that people who don’t speak English should learn our language or leave America. However, I’ve never considered myself racist or close minded, despite the fact that I often felt frustrated and uncomfortable while trying to interact with people whose first language wasn’t English. Being on the other side of this situation forever changed…
