I would like to say I know Spanish‚ after four years of studying in high school and multiple trips to South and Central America‚ yet it seems every time I leave the States‚ I find myself in a frantic struggle to process the words I know and figure out the meanings of the ones I do not. Sometimes this simply means missing out on a few insignificant details‚ other times it can seriously complicate life. Two years ago‚ I went to Guatemala to help build a cancer clinic for Casa Alleyula‚ Guatemala’s

light while my vision tried to adjust through half dead eyes‚ I looked for the clothes I laid out the night before. It’s normally five in the morning that we get up to try and beat traffic‚ and this was the exact routine for every New Orleans travel trip.

The trip began in sunny Ogden Utah‚ at the time it was the beginning of summer‚ and then we headed south stopping in Phoenix Arizona. After our stop we headed east in a large van‚ the worst part

For most Florida residents‚ we look forward to those long weekends or holidays where we know we can make the trip to Orlando for a few days of fun and excitement. Orlando isn’t known as a city‚ but rather‚ the “place with all the parks”. With UCF’s location right next to this city we hold as a get-away‚ it makes it extremely unique and even beats out many colleges for simply being so close to a vacation we’ve all longed to be on. Being so near Universal and Disney can even feel like home‚ and when

Almost within minutes it seemed he had arrived at Mission Beach. The sun was pretty much sky high on this early September day. He stood for a while gazing in the direction of the sand and sea. His hands were calmly by his sides. Noticing that the sun was too bright for his eyes‚ he slowly‚ with coolness about him‚ slid his sunglasses down from atop his head to the level of his eyes. The sunglasses were black and of a surfer brand style. Johnny could now see the details of what was happening upon

Earlier one day on my RV trip‚ my Dad promised me he would take me tubbing‚ but he never did so the whole time after I was screaming at him I ran to the bathroom in the RV and took a towel and wiped my tears off my cheeks‚ a little while later‚ after I was annoying my brother‚ one of the families named Yael and Avi were in the RV and then they asked‚ “Do you want us to take you and your brother tubbing with Erin and her friend” “Sure!!” I said with excitement.

I arrived tonight in Nashville at eight o’clock. The trip was the best one so far‚ it was an overall flat drive there besides going through the Ozark Mountains. I just got here and I already love it‚ you could hear the music playing as soon as you entered the town. I checked into the Clarion Hotel‚ in Downtown Nashville. I went out after I was settled in‚ there was an open mic night at the Nashville Symphony. Almost everybody that got up on the stage had a very southern accent‚ and all of the music
