A Funny Experience

I never thought that something like this could happen to me, but finally it was an unbelievable and a funny experience. It all started at home. I had to travel on Friday from Lima, Peru to Miami, United States. But I was living in the city of Cañete. This city is far to Lima, I had to travel a day before, my mother and I traveled to Lima on Thursday and stayed in a hotel. I got ready with all my clothes, things for travel and gifts for some friends.
I woke up on Friday, my alarm went off at 3 am and the flight was at 6 am. So, I decided to turn it off and sleep a little more, but I forgot to set the alarm to wake me in 15 minutes.
Eventually, I woke up because I was very thirsty. When I looked at the clock and it was 5:00 am, I had to get ready and run fast. I was desperate because I had to take two planes one from Peru to Colombia and other from Colombia to the United States,
I did not know what to do. I thought that I had missed the first flight, luckily at the airport there weren’t many people, so I entered quickly, but just then I started listening to the calls of the flight and I still was not in the boarding area, I could hear my name over the speakers, I was lucky to enter because the flight attendants were waiting for me, I caught my flight because they could not go without me. This will serve me a lesson to not sleep over 15 minutes.

    When I was younger, I was terrified of strangers. I would not talk to anyone who wasn’t family or a close family friend. When extended family came into town, I was very apprehensive. I was very shy and I relied a lot on hiding in my mother’s arms. I wouldn’t even talk to my preschool teachers for a long time, I just cried instead. I refused to talk to anyone at the grocery store or at my sibling’s schools. I do not have any idea as to why I was so timid, it is not like I had a scary traumatizing experience. I was just quiet, but that has definitely changed throughout the years. Now I can strike up a conversation with anyone, and I’m usually the one who won't stop talking. According to my mom, I didn’t really start talking to people until I…

    It was the first time I had ever been to Reynosa, Mexico, and I was very excited as well as nervous about the trip. I planted a church in Texas and arranged to take a time of five people to go and build two houses. None of us spoke the language and would be completely dependent upon our interpreter for all communication. We were really not fully prepared for the amount of poverty we encountered just below the boarder of Mexico and America. The shanty town had no running water as well is little electrical power, it was like being thrown back in time.…

    After school on Tuesday, my mom and stepdad were still deciding if we should evacuate because of Hurricane Matthew. Later they made a decision “We are going to leave early tomorrow morning.” We were going to go stay at my stepdad’s parents house at Lake Jackson.

    Candy Hangover Essay

    It was my first all-nighter with my church youth group. It was the night I discovered I had hypoglycemia. I was so worried that I would fall asleep and not be able to stay awake through the night. I was only in 7th grade and wanted to stay up and prove myself to all of the older kids. I drank a Monster and ate a bunch of candy and sweets to stay awake. I had a major sugar high. Then, at about 3 am I crashed. I was nauseous and all I wanted to do was sleep. I had had no protein or any food of substance the whole night, which affected my blood sugar. I ended up having someone drive me home and I went to sleep. I was extremely exhausted, but, like the article said, it was a rough night’s sleep. I kept on waking up through the night. I then found out the next week that I had hypoglycemia and now I know how to manage it.…

    FINALLY it was the day the day to go to California. The filet was about an hour and a half and but I was ready. Before I went to the airport I packed in a backpack a sketch book, colored pencils, an art pen, etd so I wouldn't get bored. I also brought a slinky (remember this it will be important). I got on the plane before a lot of people because I was an unaccompanied minor (people with disabilities went on first). I got on the plane and I sat with two other unaccompanied…

    In the summer before 9th grade, things were not going great for my family and me, things in school had been very bad, and things at home and out of school were even worse. At the end of July my mother and I, were looking to go on a trip, to get our minds off of everything that had happened in the past year. We threw ideas around, like going to Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania, and other nearby states to go sightseeing in. We had almost decided on going to Hershey, Pennsylvania, to go to the amusement park, and see other attractions for a few days, but while looking I saw an advertisement for Universal in Florida. I started looking at plane tickets, hotels, and rental cars. We found an awesome deal, and we booked it. I went to go talk to my friend Chris, on Facebook to tell him I was going, as a joke he said, “Take me too!” I told my mom what he said, she laughed and said “Why not?” I told him to convince his parents because we were leaving in 2 days. It took him a full day, but Wednesday night Chris and his mom showed up to my house with his bags packed ready to go to Florida.…

    The night before my flight was the longest night of my life. I tossed and turned and my bed was a tangled mess of sheets and anxiety. When I eventually drifted off into dreamland I was rudely interrupted by my alarm which at first sounded like the sound made by the button you press when summoning the steward on a plane. With adrenaline pumping I got ready in a jiffy and we left for the airport.…
