First of all, it is an island, so when I went there by ship therefore easy to take a look on what a beautiful landscape of the island on board from the ocean’s view. Because that was my first time to have a trip by ocean, so I could felt how happy I was to be on the board at that time, and it took 3 hours to get there, after disembarked I spent several hours on the beach to take picture with some of my friends before took a rest in what a simple cottage, because we still had some more interesting places to be visited, such as Manucoco mount, Macadade spring water and Berau beach. In addition, when I was still young, I had been told by my parents that Atauro was the place for the Indonesian military to exile those who were not in favor with their government when they invaded our country in 1975, so for me, that is a very historical island to be visited. For instance, in this trip i went visit a cemetery, which was used to bury the exiled people who dead because of starvation during the occupation time.

...we study for one hour. I also love going on a trip. Of all the trips I had been on, my most memorable journey was to the Jeju Island with my family. Even though the island was a small area, such as millet, in the world, the family vacation showed me unforgettable beauty and gave me precious memory, such as landscape and coastline road. My unforgettable memory began as soon as I arrived at Jeju Island. I took an airplane to visit Jeju Island from Incheon airport. After about one and a half hour, I arrived at the island. The Jeju airport was not particularly different, but when my family went to out to reserve a rent car, we could not hide our surprised looks. As soon as we stood at the outside of the island, I could not forget the feeling of the cool wind, like a cold sprite in refrigerator, rushing through my whole body, the sunshine that caressed me, and the salted air smell which pleasantly irritate my nose. Also, after we got the rent car, driving on route gave me a strong impression, because there were tall trees like giant and straighten road like airplane runway. It made me recall Guam Island which is a famous tourist attraction in the United States. The emotion was the same as when I try to eat a new food which I had not eaten before, because it was totally different environment from my sweet house. My sweet house was surrounded by concrete jungle. Another forgettable memory was the maze forest. During the first day, my family visited a maze forest. I had small expectations...

...and good experiences, and I had obstacles along the way that made my road a little harder. That is why I believe the year 2011 aka my senior year has been the best time of my life so far. One of the reasons why 2011 was the best time of my life is because I was a senior in high school. I was doing great in school, and my grades were better than ever. I was in the honor roll of my school for almost every marking period and that made me feel very proud. I didn’t think I was actually going to make it to senior year in four years so just the fact that I was a senior made me feel amazing. My senior trip was also a major highlight. It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. We spent three days and two nights in a resort in Vermont called Smuggler’s Notch, and it was nice to get away from New York for a few days. We went on bus and watched a few movies to make the trip feel shorter. I was very excited and eager to get there. I knew this was the beginning of an unforgettable weekend next to my friends. Since it was a long ride we were all trying to kill time by cracking jokes and doing pranks on the people that fell asleep. Taking pictures of them while they were drooling uploading them on Facebook, putting shaving cream on their faces. and hacking their phones. Even our chaperones were helping! Once we got there we were all excited to see the houses were we were going to stay. The house that I stayed with four of my closest friends was nice and cozy we had a fire place, and a nice...

Helping to resolve issues is something I have tremendous pride in doing whilst using my leadership skills. During the school year, I required input from classmates for a trip that would be in November to Louisiana. At the time, a few of my classmates did not cooperate in the creation of class shirts for the trip. (Yes, this seems a little silly, nevertheless my grade is one blob of lazy in a positive way.) I swiftly held a meeting with the rest of the student council members and announced my idea of how to handle the situation. Coming up with a way to implement my idea while solving any grievances helped to benefit every one of my...

...The Unforgettable Marvelous City Luana Zap University of Minnesota Abstract Memorable places are mysterious sources of happiness in each person as their remembrances of these arise. Rio de Janeiro has that special ability of brightening up my day simply from the memories that come up as I recall my family and my trip to this unforgettably Marvelous City in 2013. My expectations of this place were based off previous knowledge of its wonderful scenery, which was the main purpose for our destination choice. I soon discovered though, that Rio is a magical place, full of surprises at every corner as smells, touch and taste even, add to the experience of viewing such amazing landscapes. It became a memorable place in no time, as it provided a perfect setting for the formation of pleasant moments with my family. I sensed a bond created between this location and myself throughout the trip, which is understood through the analysis of the place attachment theory. Each of three dimensions in the PPP model used by Scannel and Gifford influenced the way in which this strong connection was formed. The aspects, person, process and place demonstrate how one’s cultural background could create more powerful links between an individual and their immediate environment. The use of space as a method of interaction, or the proxemics theory, also shows reasons why Rio de Janeiro became so memorable to me by explaining how distinct distances are used by different cultures in order to effectively...

...Memorable Journey A trip I will never forget, will my trip to Paris in 2012. Imagine a boy with 16 years old, that his parents gave the opportunity to go to the old continent, alone. This trip will ever a dream come true. I was so happy and excited to go to France I did my suitcase, weeks before leaving the country. The feel of knowing that I was going to spend one month without the responsibility of telling at what time I arrived home to my parents was something incredible. The catch behind this amazing trip, was that I had to attend to French classes, from Monday to Friday, from 9:00-12:00pm, and I didn’t see this so complicated. My journey began on July 26, 2012, taking a night flight from Santo Domingo to Paris. That flight was one of the worst of my life, the feeling of being in the middle of two people who don’t know for more than eight hours, was something that irritated me and made me feel uncomfortable. Even though I had a bad flight, my welcome to the city of lights wasn’t pleasant, the cold it was killing me since I left the airport. But I have to admit something, since taking on the bus, I could immediately see the beauty of a city that I never thought of visiting, the order of society and the traffic is something worth to see, green areas were almost completely clean and you could say that the word“trash”didn’t exist. In a month, a lot of things can be done. But there are some things that you can’t miss if you're in Paris, so from my first week I started...

...spent 3 weeks of june holiday backpacking my culturally diverse archipelago with my motorcycle back in Indonesia. I started my trip in the scorching sun of mid June. But the misery that I went through opens my eyes to how beautiful my country’s scenery is. The cuisine of different parts of java also left an exotic yet unforgettable taste in my taste buds. Yet it’s such a shame to see that neither the government nor the locals ever tried to take advantage of the nature even though based from my trips to pattaya, California, Maldives, and Melbourne the scenery in java still have a fighting chance, and as an educated patriot I want to showcase to the world about my country lush greenery, diverse culture, and the mangy and spicy cuisine. Therefore my dream is to have a resort in Indonesia that hosts visitors from all around the world. I realize that in order to achieve my dream I need to study in a university that realize the importance of balancing theories and practice, and make connections with professionals from colleague and the past alumni. During my intensive research for the right institute for me, the name Glion kept appearing again and again. The figures and statistics about Glions rank for hotel school and its percentage of jobs offer to graduating students amazed me. Despite that I was always skeptical about how university advertised their instituted to the public, until I met a Glion graduate myself. I met the graduate at my friend’s birthday party. I was very curious...

...A memorable trip to a historic site Introduction Throughout life, we all have visited different places or historical sites, so memorable that you cannot avoid sharing that experience to your friends and love ones. As a former member of the US military, I consider myself very fortunate to travel and visit historic places and museums, and at the same time serving my country and the Air Force, one of the finest military organizations in the world. In my own unique experience, I visited a country that I thought I would never dream to visit if not for my career in the US military. The temporary assignment to Incirlik base in Turkey, the bus ride, the visit to the birthplace of Saint Paul the Apostle and a Muslim tour guide to the city of Tarsus, was one of the most memorable trips in my life. Temporary duty to Turkey I love to travel, and visited many different countries, but this particular trip a temporary duty to Incirlik air base in Turkey, without my family was a very unique experience for me. This trip was so memorable that I constantly think about it and share this experience to my friends and family every time I have the opportunity.

Numerous Christian Apostles and Saints were born in Turkey, but in this particular trip, I was interested in visiting the city of Tarsus, birthplace of Saint Paul the Apostle. Tarsus...

...Spring Break 2013: A Journey of Riches I embarked to Haiti in Spring 2013 because I love to travel. I imagined this trip to be a fun time away from the AUC, but little did I know was that this little country on half of an island would forever change how I viewed the world. I must say, I was not well versed on Haiti prior to the trip. I can begrudgingly confess that my perception of Haiti was a product of the American media. I believed what my country had told me: things were bad, really bad and getting worse. More than seeing this seemingly hopeless poverty stricken country, I was able to dive head first into the culture and history of what it means to call yourself a Haitian. My preconceived notion of poverty could not compete with the sights awaiting me in various areas of Haiti. If nothing else, Haiti, moreover Haitians taught me to be grateful for all that I had been blessed with in America. Especially the little things I would generally take for granted like an endless hot water shower, adequate shelter, and consistent electricity. It was difficult for me to put myself in my Haitian counterparts shoes. A 21-year-old girl living in a poverty stricken country that had survived an earthquake only to be hit by a hurricane two years later. The Haitians are a tenacious people, which was eloquently and majestically illustrated to me through our crash course in Haitian history. It was also evident by the “extreme” measures that their youth would go to in order to ensure...

...during our holidays we can relax and have fun. We get enough time to travel, play our favorite sports and practice our hobbies. Below I will tell you about my last holiday. I had always dreamed about going to Hawaii. It was the evening of April 1st, 2003 when my husband called me from his work and told me that we are going to Hawaii for one week in our holidays next month. I couldn't believe my ears what I just heard. I asked him again if he is not making it up, but he said he already purchased tickets online and made plans. On 10th May we departed Maryland and headed towards our first destination, The Big Island of Hawaii. As soon as we reached there after a long journey, I was stunned by the beautiful scenic views that I only saw in pictures. I was totally lost in the scenic views that I forgot to blink my eyes We stayed in the 5-star hotel in front of the beach. Next day we hired a helicopter for a trip to see volcano. It was simply amazing. We stayed in The Big Island for 4 days, and then we went to the island of Maui for 4 days. We did so many activities which included Jet Ski, Scuba diving, Parasailing etc. We also watched the sunrise of Kalekala's summit, it was very romantic. At last one of the best things we did in Hawaii was to drive on the Hana Highway. It was the most amazing and spectacular experience of my life that I was stunned by God's creation of a heaven-like place on earth. This highway has 600-plus turns, 50 one-lane bridges and breathtaking views that...

...This summer, I had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Louisville, Kentucky with my church. There were nine high school kids that ventured, along with two chaperones, and our church’s youth pastor. We left on a Friday and drove two vans down to Saint Louis, Missouri, where we stayed in a hotel right across the road from Six Flags. *On Saturday morning, we took a shuttle over to the amusement park and rode as many roller coasters and water rides as our bodies could handle. To end the day, we cooled off in the water park and stuffed ourselves full of pasta at an Italian restaurant downtown. As I lay in bed that first night, I had no idea what was in store for me during the next six days. Sunday morning we all attended church and continued to drive the remaining five hours to Louisville. Upon arriving, we found out that there were three church groups on this mission trip. At first, everyone was shy and clung to who they knew, but this didn’t last long. On day one, we received our small groups, which included a mix of high schoolers from all three...

...When I was ten my mom hooked me on Grey’s Anatomy. There was one thing that stuck with me when watching Dr. Alex Karev, my favorite character, come into his own and become a pediatric surgeon: the satisfaction of being able to help someone’s child. As I matured I obviously realized how fabricated the show is, however I believe that behind all the drama, helping children really would produce this satisfaction. And that’s what I want to feel. By studying biology at Georgetown University, I hope to gain all of the skills necessary to go onto medical school and later become a pediatrician. I want to give myself the best shot of attaining this goal, and with one of the top biology programs in the country, I know that Georgetown would adequately prepare me to achieve my aspirations. One aspect of Georgetown that heavily influences my interest is the Early Assurance Program with Georgetown’s School of Medicine. To be able to know my future as early as the start of my junior year is an enticing opportunity, and would motivate me to work hard throughout my studies at Georgetown. Georgetown’s School of Medicine is a top ranked...
