Two summers ago i traveled to California not only to see my cousins but to tour around the area. California is a great place because it has pretty beaches, there are a lot of things to do, and it has very nice weather. There is many sightseeing to do the number of how many famous places you can visit is endless! It's the greatest state i've ever been too, sometimes you get overwhelmed because you never know what you want to do first! Now on to my stories and experiences.
My favorite place my family and i went to was Venice Beach in Los Angeles, i loved the ocean it was as salty as manzanilla olives, the beach was very big it would take you like 3 hours to walk the whole thing. The beaches were very pretty with the tall palm trees, and warm
Opportunity is something a person can not leave! If it is great enough, any thing is worth the risk for it. In the 1840 's the gold rush was something, it was a opportunity. Over 300,000 people were after the gold is search for a better life with riches. If I was in this time, I would have went to California because of the chance.
I was born on a Navy base in San Diego a little before two in the mourning. I am the youngest with two older sisters Shauna and Cassie. We basically lived two-thirds of our childhood on military bases stationed throughout the United States of America. My father being in the Navy meant we moved a lot I have lived in New Orleans, Pensacola, and San Diego and finally we settled in Tomball, Texas which is thirty minutes away from Houston. I went to a lot of different schools during my childhood an sometimes we would move before the year is up which made it difficult for me in school.
Coming to Cal was great for me because it was the first time I had found a real LGBTQ community. Growing up I always moved schools so most of my friendships were fleeting and upon settling for high school the Gay Straight Alliance club was extremely small so coming to Cal provided a great sense of community and belonging. The summer before my first fall semester, I took a few classes to get a feel for the campus which ended up coinciding with Obergefell v. Hodges and SF gay pride which is where I made a lot of friends. Whether it is going for drinks in the Castro, dressing up for the Folsom street fair or going to social events at Oscar Wilde, Cal has provided an amazing sense of acceptance and a safe space. During the spring semester, I preformed
The Day I Moved to Sacramento It was the last three days of school but the last one for me, I was moving away from San Bruno. This is a story about my last day in San Bruno. The first time I moved there I thought it wasn't very nice and stuff because it looked Very Ghetto Things were old and just trash and stuff everywhere, there were a lot of Gangs and stuff like that, but I think I was there for about 4 or 5 years. I went to a school called Parkside Middle school there was a 6th grade , 7th , and an 8th grade at the school.
I have always enjoyed exploring the world, but the adventure that always sticks out the most was my cruise to the tropical paradise of Bermuda. I have cruised to the Bahamas, as well as spent countless weeks of my lifetime in the Outer Banks. The cruise to Bermuda was only my second time out of the country, leaving from Baltimore, Maryland one Friday afternoon and arriving on the shores of the tropical island on Sunday afternoon. Waking up on a Saturday in the beginning of August and being able to look out the window and seeing water for as far as you can see is a one time thing and an experience like no other. The days spent traveling the open seas, gives you the chance to live life while leaving all of your baggage back on shore.
In Oahu I was able to swim with dolphins, visit Pearl Harbor, swim at the beach, and shop. After Oahu we stopped by Maui where I went snorkeling, ate at a traditional luau, and saw the sun rise from the top of an inactive volcano. That was amazing and I thought it surely couldn’t be topped, but it was when I visited the big island and Kauai. I went to a black sand beach, did amazing shopping, and went zip lining.
I was blessed to have a Slavic Baptist church not far from where I live. I always wanted to give back to someone underserved of similar origin as myself. In Sacramento there is a big Slavic community, which gave some opportunities for me to serve and apply myself. I started off with the church choir. Having a good background of singing from Ukraine allowed me to move up on the list of best choir soprano voices, and later our choir director started to sit me by the newcomers to help them learn songs faster.
My trip to Florida was captivating and full of attractions. I went to Panama City Beach. From food to scenery to souvenirs everything was compelling. First the weather was amazing. It was very warm and there was a slight breeze.
My first reason that I would go to Hawaii is that Hawaii looks very entertaining. This is because I can see volcanoes, jungles, and lagoons. Another activity that looks interesting is a helicopter tour over the islands. The islands are also full of sugar cane and pineapple farms.
I remember the first time I went to the beach like it was yesterday. We had to make a trip to California because in Arizona we don’t have beaches. I can smell the fresh air and the salt from the ocean. The sun beaming in the horizon. As I walk toward the water I feel the sand getting in between my toes and feeling how grainy it feels.
Being very fortunate to travel, my wife and I decided to traveo to Hawaii. It was our first trip to that paradisaical place. The experience was fabulous from the very beginning. We flew to the island, and before the plane could land, we were amazed at beautiful blue and clarity of the sea. As we reached towards the beach we were able to see the bottom of the ocean.
As the sun sets on the Hollywood sign and the warmth surrounds me, I know I came to the right place. If I could visit anywhere in the world, it would be the west coast. I would visit California for the breathtaking scenery, the exhilarating activities, and the appetizing food. California offers many things to do, places to see, and plenty of food to eat.
Over thanksgiving break, my friend and I decided to go visit the California Museum near downtown. After we purchased our entrance, the first thing that caught my eye was the live size bear in front of the museum. This was my first time at that specific museum so it caught my eye more than my friend. Since he has been there already, he showed me around and we went outside to see the giant Constitution Wall. The wall was also fascinating because it was huge and it had phrases from the California Constitution.
Our first stop, Buford, Georgia; where most of the in-laws live. Our big adventure started early one morning, the grass still moist from the morning dew and the morning songs were being sung by the birds as we loaded into the van. We drove two hours north into the mountains and spent the day surrounded by Mother Nature, mining for gems and hoping one of in the group would find a real diamond. Soon we found ourselves back on the road; this time headed for Pensacola, Florida to see one of my best friends and her family. Although we did not go to the beach, the thought still blows my mind; we explored one of the Spanish forts.
Florida has always been my favorite place to visit. I love the Palm Trees and coconuts and all the other tropical plants. There are so many exciting things to do like going to Disney or nature walks through the different state parks. The weather is beautiful and not to cold and the people are very friendly. My family
