...A Trip to Malaysia Travelling is a sense of adventure that excites people, and also is a big chance for us to learn about other cultures and the way people live their lives. While many tourists travel to France, England or some famous countries in Europe, fewer travel to a small country in Asia. As someone who loves to explore and enjoy new things, 3 years ago in the summer, my boyfriend and I decided to backpack to Malaysia. It was a fantastic trip and an amazing experience for us that you should definitely try it. In this country, there are three destinations that travelers should not miss: the Petronas Twin Towers, Golden Triangle area, and The Genting Highland Park. When we arrived into Kuala Lumpur, we headed straight to the Petronas Twin Towers, which are also known as the world’s tallest tower. They are an impressive icon of the capital of Malaysia that are visible from about everywhere in the city, and dominate the night sky. The Petronas Twin Towers are 1,483 feet tall, have 88 stories, and were completed in 1998. The architecture was very magnificent from the outside, especially at night, they look like ice sculptures. The most attractive architecture of the tower is that at the 41st and 42nd level, there is a skybridge connecting the two towers. The bridge is 170 meters above the ground, 58 meters long and weighs 750 tons. My boyfriend and I drove the high-speed lift that zooms up to the skybridge on the 41st floor; we walked across the skybridge to take some pictures...

...was saved, however, he was diagnosed with uremia, which surely caused by the physical contractions between the toxic drug chemicals and my son’s body, according to the doctor. The medical payment for my son is extremely high, so, I have to find some other way to make more money. Normally, people like me in Mexico have two ways to make more money. One is the easier way by dealing with drug; another is the harder way by crossing the US boarder to chasing dream in America. I hate drugs, so, there would be only one option for me. Trip to US Making a decision is hard, especially for this kind. But, like I said, I don’t have any choices. I have to go for myself, my child and my whole families. In Mexico, there are many travel agencies which offer “special service” to help the travelers cross the border. After comparing services and doing some researchers, I finally chose one agency and paid them 3,500 peso one-time fees. The agent promised me that the trip will be easy and safe; however, it came out with a nightmare. I left my home on the...

...take year 8 students from our school to attend our trip.We changed our choice because we thought that it was the most convenient year for us in terms of organization and discipline in edition whole Y8 group,had not being on a trip in a last academic year.The proximate age of students is 12-13 years old,they are not very small children,which makes easier to control them and contact with them,but also they are not adults,for that reason we would have enough authority to organize them and carry out an successful trip. We had a lot ideas where we can go,but we decided to narrow all these down to the 3 most convenient places:Benidorm,Alicante and Valencia.We discussed each in terms of cost,interest and convenience for all of participants.We distributed our work among group members:Patricia,Sofia and Valeria made the feasibility including a SWOT analysis of Benidorm,Dario did the SWOT analysis of Valencia,and I did of Alicante. *fesibility studies Mission statement: The mission statement was to develop and improve the student's knowledge about their own country and what they can find in nearby cities.Creating a pleasant and nice atmosphere for children and staff by organizing and exciting entertaining and what is really important is educational day trip.

...My variety of different experiences will help me contribute to the diversity in the Physical Therapy Program. One of my experiences that really stand apart from others is my participation in a mission trip to Honduras. I joined students from the University of Connecticut Health School to provide free healthcare to inhabitants of small villages and cities in the area. The trip taught me the importance of providing healthcare to poverty stricken areas and the effect it can have on the communities. The experience also really cemented the importance of being tolerant of different cultures and areas of the world. You need to be truly passionate about providing a better life for the people that come from less fortunate circumstances, but also understanding of their ways of life. If you are doing something just because you think it looks good and would benefit yourself; your goals become very transparent and those you are helping can tell right away you aren’t really there for them. There was no greater feeling then seeing the smile on the children’s faces while we worked with them to get them better or the clear look of thankfulness on the people who will never take what we provided them for granted. I would love to have the opportunity to provide physical therapy to similar areas of need, which I can successfully contribute to the program at MGH IHP. I have also had different experiences relating directly to the field that have all been quite diverse. My first...

...time that I have applied leadership and an immense amount of communication is when my family and I head down to Mexico on a missions trip. Once a year we pack our bags and head across borders driving a total of 16 hours, going into the heart of Mexico we drive through Chihuahua City arriving at a little town called Anahuac. Inside Anahuac is an orphanage called “Casa de la Esperanza,” it is filled with laughter and a second chance for kids who never got the attention and love they deserved. This orphanage has roughly 40-70 kids a year ranging in size, age, and backgrounds you would never wish on anyone. Hearing some of these children’s stories and where they came from would never reflect on who they were on the inside, all these kids want is love and friendship and they would quickly give it back. The very first time we arrived at Casa a lot was going through my mind, since this was a new experience that was out of my comfort zone. I felt times like these really help expand and push limits of leadership and communication that benefit and support a community in need. Casa is truly an amazing place that focuses their vision not on themselves but on the neighboring community, they supply and conduct food drives, medical exams and taking care of whatever else needs to be done in the town of Anahuac. After hearing what was expected of us in this trip I knew I was going to thrive and truly help make a difference. Casa takes in these children...

...So Much Water So Close To Home Raymond Carver This short story by Raymond Carver is about this man called Stuart. Stuart lives with his wife Claire. The story is told from Claire, and her perspective. In the start, the story takes place at a river, some miles away from Stuart and Claire’s home. At this river Stuart and some of his friends, is out for a real man trip. They are fishing, drinking and doing all, of such things men does on a trip like this. In the middle of this trip, one of the men finds a dead body of a girl, in the river. They do not call the police, because they will not ruin the trip. So they decide to call the police after the trip when they was about to go home. Stuart comes home and telling this story to Claire, and that’s really where the story takes start and the action first begins. Shortly after this we can see, that the real action, is about, Stuart and Claire’s relationship, and how Claire is. The settings in the start are at a river, miles away from Stuart’s home. It’s not described very well, but I have an imagination, at how this place the men is at, is a normally place in a forest near a river. Maybe there is a bonfire place, with some stones around it, and they are sitting there in a circle. Otherwise the story takes place several different locations, there isn’t described very much in this short story. A characterization of Claire: In the text, it appears that Claire is mentally ill. It is only, if you read the whole story, it makes sense...

...Every year more than one-third of Americans (35%) take a vacation somewhere around the world. Unless you just pick up and leave you are going to need to pack to make this trip more enjoyable, but along with packing comes stress. From personal experience I find packing very overwhelming but with a little help it can be a quick and easy process. Start off with making a list. Creating a list can ensure you don't leave out and important items that could cause any stress when arriving to your special destination. List clothing, toiletries, accessories, electronics, and some things to do when you have down time. Firstly, you should start with the clothing you are going to pack; clothes that will make you feel comfortable in a warm environment. If you are going to go hiking make sure you bring lots of tank tops and shorts and along with that tennis shoes so your feet are comfortable. If you are going to go to the beach or hang around pool side make sure you bring lots of bathing suits. Bring extra so when you are at the pool or beach the other pairs could be air drying back at the hotel. For going out to dinner pack more casual because when you are at the beach you don't really get dressed up. Men can wear button down shirts and Women can wear dresses....

...Have you ever felt as if you were living the dream? That anything bad in your life just disappeared? That’s exactly how I felt on June 1st 2015 in Troy Missouri. The sun was shining down on me as the wind blew at just the perfect speed, in which made my hair spin as if I was in a tornado. And at this moment I knew my life was perfect, and nothing could change that. But I guess I thought a bit too soon, because before all the paradise came the 13 hour long and painful car ride. The car ride felt like a never ending lecture from your parents. And the worst part about it was that there was no amazing scenery on the way there, so all you could do was stare at long fields of green and brown hills. After 13 long hours of nausea and suffering my...

...One activity i chose was the cooperative learning groups. In these particular learning groups each group is comprised of 4 students. The students are working on a science project. In this particular science project they are to build a model of volcano. These students each has their prospective jobs within the small group. One student will work on how to make it erupt, one works on making the platform, one works on cutting the chicken wire, and one is cutting up newspaper strips. The desks in the group are all facing each other, and each student is given an instruction sheet for their particular job. They are instructed to help one another when someone gets stuck, and to check off on their papers when they have finished each step. Another activity I chose was the use of learning centers and computer stations. Some examples of my learning centers for this particular day are the video center on volcanoes, the reading center on volcanoes, and the poster center on volcanoes. I have four groups set up for the students to learn from about volcanoes. The video center is off in the corner, and has a 20 minute video for the students to watch. The reading center is towards one outer wall and has a stack of books and magazines for the students to read about volcanoes. Another learning center has various posters of volcanoes that are packed with useful information about volcanoes. Then there is the computer station where the students can research more information on the web about volcanoes...

...able to stand on our own two feet, while in the process discovering things about ourselves such as our sexuality and where we want to head in life. In the short story “Red from Green” by Maile Meloy, It is at this crossroad that our protagonist, Sam, finds herself. She is forced to see herself and her father in a new light following a float trip where a grown man shows an interest in her. “Red from Green” is narrated from a third person perspective, and from Sam’s perspective. Sam is a 15-year old American teenager from Montana who is about to start her sophomore year. Because Sam’s mother died she lives alone with her father which has created a strong bond between them. Therefore they did not like to talk much about the fact that Sam had been offered a scholarship to a boarding school. She had not decided to take it yet and she was unsure how her father felt about it, “Applying had been her father’s idea, but now he looked dismayed every time the subject came up” (p. 1, l. 6-7). Sam and her father had been on this kind of float trip many times before, although this time her uncle and his client joined them. She thought the purpose of the trip might in fact be to gain the goodwill of this new client, “…it was the feeling she got - that they were going for the client” (p. 1, l. 15). The client, Layton, very quickly made an impression on her by complimenting her teeth which it seems she is not used to, this is made clear later when she ponders on his compliment, “And she was wondering...

...Name________________ Date________________ “Canopy of Nature” Reading Comprehension – Short Stories Directions: Read the story. Then answer the questions below. Dad decided last Sunday that we should all go on a camping trip. He read an article in the Sunday paper about camping and how it “brings families together under the canopy of nature.” “Overrated,” I joked. “What about the canopy of television or the canopy of restaurant food?” “This will be good for us,” Dad said, sliding the magazine across the coffee table. “Let’s go next week-end.” I shot a quick look over at my little brother, Paul. He gave me a slow eyebrow raise which meant, “This will probably not go off completely as planned.” My smile back said, "But it will surely be fun." I started to think back. Once Dad decided “we should all learn how to canoe.” We borrowed two canoes from our friends, hoisted them on the van and drove for three hours to a secluded lake in Virginia. Once we got there, we discovered that we had forgotten the paddles. Paul and I got in a canoe with Dad, and our two younger sisters got in a canoe with Mom. We floated aimlessly around the lake for hours. Then we all jumped in with our life jackets on. We pushed the canoes back to shore. It was a fantastic trip. Another time, Dad decided “we should all learn how to ski.” All of us hate the cold so we spent the week-end huddled by the fire, drinking hot cocoa in the ski lodge and playing board games. It was great. We had a blast. When I...
