I went to Prague for my world classroom trip was because I was told Prague was an amazing place, it was a place with lots of beautiful castle and breath taking views and when my friends told me their choosing to Prague too, I was more then happy, going on a trip without family and don’t have to go to school wearing the school uniform, just me and the girls having fun but learning in the process in Czech Republic. Fun. :P When we went to visit a school in Prague we had a person called our buddy, where a student from that school got paired up with a person in our school and we had to spend the day with our ‘buddy’. I had a amazing kindhearted ‘buddy’, her name is Lucy. She told me her snap chat and Facebook name so we could keep in contact after the trip. Lucy had long blond / …show more content…
I’ve learnt that Czech Republic is mostly famous for it’s the breathtaking castles, cars, tennis and beer. I’ve also learnt historic events that happened and stories from the castles we visited. I’ve learnt that I could take care of myself and not lose anything without my parent’s reminding me, I’ve also learnt the responsibilities we need. My mom told me she was thinking of going to Czech next year with my aunt and asked me to join her since I’ve been there in this world classroom trip, so I might be returning to Czech Republic next year. I loved going to Prague, It was a fun experience to go to a place where you enjoy yourself while learning with your friends and meeting new friend in the process. I definitely enjoyed the visit to Czech Republic. I think I would always remember the people I’ve met in this World Classroom trip, I’ve met lots of amazing kind-hearted people in this trip. I think I would also remember the joy of being able to in a different place without my parents and the responsibilities we
“Sexual assault” was a phrase I had never heard of as a 7 year old. Sure I had heard of rape and the big S-word, but never had my ears been exposed to the word until the summer of 2005. My mother and father have never been “together” in my lifetime. I remember my mom being angry every time my father would come to pick me up.
Mr. West, Hello. I am Rebecca Brown. I went to Sheridan Schools growing up and would like to return to teach English at the high school. Unfortunately, I have run in to a bit of a snag with financial assistance.
All my life, I was always told that I was so smart and advanced for my age. Everything came easy to me: math, writing, reading, sports, and even playing many instruments. All this came with little work. So I seldom ever had to study or practice for anything. This occurred all throughout elementary and middle school.
Early in my life, I used books as an escape from the harsh reality in front of me. When I was around five years old, I was trapped in an abusive and sheltered household. When the yelling started, I used to hide under my bed and stay very quiet. I would read any book that I could find to keep my mind off what was happening around me. I made myself a safe space under my bed with a light and pillows.
My body cried like a newborn babe, afraid in an unfamiliar place. Immediately, my fresh eyes were greeted by waves of black hair, friendly smiles, and the Japanese language. I had arrived in Japan. I did not know the language or the customs, but I dove right into the dark pool. I was determined not to let the unknown drown me.
I went on the ASL Club’s trip to Gallaudet this year. Though we had to meet early, I was very excited to experience a new place that had a culture all its own. The trip up to Gallaudet was uneventful, but the moment we arrived on campus, everything interesting. The campus was absolutely beautiful and I wanted to explore it. Before we toured the campus, we went to get food.
At the end of my trip it was the last day. I was sad because i has to go home soon. On the there we got to go to a cove at the Lake of the
While it was only a fourteen-day trip, I learned more than a textbook could ever teach me. I got to see the culture and the people and I got to walk their
During that trip I learned many things, but most importantly, I learned about myself, who I really was and not the person I pretended to be depending on the nature of the company I associated with. It did not matter to me any more that I was some sort of social misfit, and the following year at school, living by my grandfather 's words I learned that I never was and it was just me that perceived myself as such. I learned that neither of my cultures has to be abandoned so that I could be myself, so that I could understand who I really was and did not have to fear what others thought of me and as such the new mindset allowed me to finally grow and change based on only my perceptions of myself. I believe that this realization and mindset is something that will help me through college because it would allow for me to look at things from angles that others who come from just a singular culture may not be able to look at from. I believe this experience will help me in college by allowing me to keep an open mind in situations, because seeing as how my perception of myself changed, something that is not necessarily easy for most people.
Coming back to the U.S after living in Belgium for 3 years was really challenging. I was in the middle of fourth grade and couldn 't read, write, or spell. Only able to read in french and write in cursive. Looking at the big Harry Potter books that kids my age were reading just made me want to hide in a hole and never come out. I already felt like the three years I had missed would be impossible to catch up.
I will never forget my 8th grade trip to Washington DC. One of my most profound memories was meeting Congressman John Lewis. When I was first informed about the upcoming consultation, I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe I was going to have the opportunity of listening to such a well known person’s inspiring story. After going to many museums on the second day of the trip, we finally made our way on the bus to the Cannon House Office Building, right across from the US capitol.
I was in my freshman year the time that I traveled to Managua, Nicaragua. What attracted my attention was the culture and language barrier, a seemingly unbreakable facade that held incredible stories and experiences behind its imposing wall. The thought that I could hear these experiences and learn from them gave me a reason to connect with these boys and pour out my heart to them. After a week of constant twenty-four interaction, the wall crumbled and I had an experience I will never forget As my school prepared to go on this trip, I was not planning to go on the trip.
There we were almost time to go to High School, the last time I’m going to see my friends in middle school. To celebrate one last time we all are going to banquet so we can one last time of fun. Our banquet was at the Hilton Hawaiian Village where they have resturant, music, stores, beach, and a hotel where everybody is going to stay. The problem was it cost a lot of money, it was about $41 but my mom paid because she works there.
I am married with 3 lovable children and am an avid sports fan and love to play various types of sports. We travel a lot as a family and the more we travel, the more we learn about various cultures and countries and not to mention we get to spend as much as time as allowed together. Recently we traveled Istanbul (Turkey) Paris (France) and London UK. It was two week trip was really good.
For me, I have a significant experience that inspired me want to study in Korea. I had a great opportunity to be a representative from the Thai Red Cross to join in The 3rd Model IFRC General Assembly in Korea. When I arrived in Korea, I found that Korea is the leader in technology, and have developed at all times. I have experience with the Korean culture, lifestyle of Korean people. I have seen the differences between Thailand and Korea.
