During the summer of 2014, I was able to participate in a mission trip that took place in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee. The mission trip was a week long of amazing service experiences and fun. While on the Mountain Top mission trip, I got the chance to serve four different and wonderful families, all which impacted me in different ways. Throughout the course of the week and all the service I was taking part in, one lady stuck out to me the most. Her name was Barbara and she lived alone
At times you have to take a break from life and enjoy it. Trips are very expensive, but surprising trips are amazing. There are many places to visit, but there is one that I will always prefer. Las Vegas is my favorite place to visit because they have one of the best aquariums at Mandalay. I also had the best experience with dolphins when I was there. First of all, I always wanted to go to Las Vegas but I couldn’t afford it. It all started one day when my dad came home from work with an amazing surprise
but not many people have experienced the nice parts first hand. From Victoria Falls to the surprisingly great food taking a trip to Africa was a great experience. Africa is more than just a poverty stricken hot and dry area. The first two weeks of this trip was spent in a small village in small living areas. Breakfast was at most a PB&J sandwich which by the end of the week after having flavorless meals a PB&J would be more described as “creamy peanut butter and cold sweet jelly between two slices
Going on a trip with my family and cousin to Minnesota had to be like being in hell. We decided to go on a road trip to Minnesota to visit my uncle, during the winter. It was like my uncle was leaving for ever and this horrible idea of a road trip couldn’t wait until the summer or at least spring. Even worse, we had to smell vomit for half the trip thanks to my cousin. I had definitely experience hell in my way to Minnesota, and it seemed like a never ending trip. It wasn’t the first road trip my family
For the entire first week of my stay I was kicking and screaming-miserable. Due to my family’s Nepalese heritage, I was forced to come to this country for a time of 2 weeks. I had no interest in being taken out of my comfortable little world and put in a new one; in fact I dreaded it. I was bashful in nature and almost feared all these foreign people
The trip had to be about 24 hours or so. When we arrived at the airport in Manila, my mom’s side of the family was already there. They were absolutely ecstatic to see us. We arrived at my grandma’s house, and some family and friends greeted us right away
France trip From the moment I stepped off the plane, I was bombarded with new experiences. The signs were in French. The people spoke French. Everything was French! I could not -believe that I had traveled across the Atlantic. It was early morning when my classmates and I landed. From the minute we stepped into the crisp, fresh air, I knew these would be the best two weeks of my life. The three days in Paris flew by. I visited the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and L’Arc de Triomphe. I saw “Mona Lisa
someone would get hurt, everyone would stop to check that they became fine. If someone felt that she could not handle the weight of her bag, people would volunteer to carry gear. We helped each other get through a whole week in the wilderness. While we lived and spent a whole week together, we learned compassion, craftsmanship, self-reliance, and physical fitness. When someone needed help, we would always use compassion and help out our classmates. My classmates and I relied on ourselves to carry
INFJ personality. I have learned a lot about my life and history and want to share it with you. My life began in Jennie Edmundson hospital in Council Bluffs, Iowa. When I was born on March 9, 2001 I was three and a half weeks early at six pounds thirteen ounces. Within my first week of life I was back in the hospital because I had lost one pound. When I was back in the hospital the doctor said that I had jaundice, which is a high count of red blood cells at birth causing yellowing to skin and eyes
actively seek out various groups that fit in with my vision during zero week and attended their information session. Alpha Kappa Psi emerged from the rest because I felt in sync with the speaker’s value and felt that AKPsi is a place where I have limitless potential for professional growth. Great people make great company. Just by hearing the experiences that the alumni speakers presented made me want to go through the same experience and brotherhood. In a way it also humbled me because I realized
