During my visit to Georgia Tech in the summer of 2014 I learned a lot about the Engineering program and life on campus. The part that caught my attention was the Internship program. After graduating I strive to become an Aerospace Engineer at one of the many aviation companies. During my tenure at Georgia Tech, I intend on pursuing an internship with Bombardier in Toronto. This will allow me to acquire the necessary workplace experience for the field in advance while also working towards my Masters…
go? I would say Atlanta Georgia. The reason why, because of their weather they have and visit the places out there. The top two places that I want to see in Georgia are Georgia Aquarium and Six Flags Over Georgia. I never knew there was a aquarium in a state until I was 6 or 7. I can have more fun in Georgia then I can in Florence. The things that happens in Florence doesn't happen in Georgia. I also want to visit their shopping malls. The history about Georgia just have my attention to visit.…
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and Independence Day. Petersburg is not a vacation spot my parents, sister, and I go to on the holidays, it is where my grandparents reside in their beautiful two story brick home they built. I have always enjoyed visiting my grandparents and the time spent together is special. The time spent with my grandma has been particularly special this past year. In September of 2014, my grandma, who I call Grammy, was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer after having a…
In second grade my parents approached me with the information that my dad would be enlisting in the military. They also informed me that we would be moving 16 hours away to a barrier island called Tybee Island near Savannah, Georgia. As a small second grader my first thought was that we would be leaving all the people we loved behind which included my grandparents, cousins, close family, best friends, and animals. At first I thought maybe my mom would let me stay and live with my grandparents, but…
When it comes to spending time outdoors, my family prevails over all others. My dad sees every opportunity for a camping, hiking, canoeing, anything-outdoors trip and seizes it. Ever since I was old enough to walk, we have been traveling to visit national parks and hiking trails. I always enjoy camping with my family, but sometimes these trips don’t go as intended. This time, we decided to travel to Sipsey, Alabama. Briefer than our usual trips, we were only going to park, hike to a campsite…
Cierra B. 3rd block 9-11-13 My First Trip to Savannah, Georgia Looking up at the sky-high towering buildings I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was almost like I went into a time machine and went all the way back to the 1800’s with all these old fashioned buildings surrounding me. Then and there I knew I was going to like my stay in Savannah, Georgia. I had arrived in Savannah, Georgia with my Girl Scout troop we had been collecting money for months and the first place we planned to go…
sunlight beaming down on my face. I slowly begin to smile as thoughts flowed into me like a river. I jumped up with excitement as I realized we were going to Florida. I grabbed all my bags that I had packed the night before and laid them beside the door. "Ready, We should get going before it's too late." My dad crackled. I smiled and thought to myself," I never have been more ready in my entire life!" Alright let's get going then. I bolted to the car and impatiently waited for my dad to unlock the car…
to my aunt's house in Orlando Florida for Christmas. But before we got to Florida we made a couple pit stops on the way. The first stop was wildlife in need in Indiana. That was my birthday gift for my parents. We had tickets for the baby tiger playtime. Which was my favorite thing I've ever done. After that we headed to Nashville Tennessee which ended up being our next stop. We stayed at the Hampton inn in downtown Nashville. The next morning we explored for a few hours then meet up with my sister…
My family and I went on a trip to Pennsylvania, Florida for my little cousin birthday. My heart was rushing and my face was lit up from the excitement that filled the room. I asked my mom can I bring two of my friends Patrick and Camarius, she said yes and all thirty two pearls lined up across my face. It was my first time traveling with my family and my last time. I never want to witness anything like the trip to Florida with my family ever again. As we drove up, I sat in the hard back seat with…
Over the summer before my senior year in high school, I was given an amazing opportunity to go to Nicaragua. I was able to expand my spanish vocabulary by teaching a class of adults and children english, talking with many of the locals and venders. The service learning program I went with was Global Glimpse. We learned more about the day to day life of the locals in a third world country. For the service part of the trip we helped improve a local school.We redid the bathrooms, classrooms, and the…
