My Most Memorable Trip Essay

sushi restaurants in the city. The trip ended with one of the most memorable meals of my life. The restaurant was tucked in a tangle of alleyways in a quiet, residential area of Tokyo. Small, welcoming and clean: the restaurant’s exterior represented the delicate and exquisite food that we were about to taste. Two elderly chefs, who were behind the counter, were filleting a gigantic tuna. Every precise cut across the blue steel scale revealed the magenta flesh. My parents and I sat down in…

helpless” (Billy Graham). This quote describes mission trips well, and it applies to the ones I have been on. I have gone on 5 mission trips so far: The Dominican Republic three times, Honduras, Haiti, and Ecuador. I am able to have gone on so many because my youth group goes to these places, along with other places. During my summer going into 9th grade I had the opportunity to go to the DR to help construct a chapel for a village down there. During my summer going into 10th grade I had the…

only time I spend with my family is during dinner when we eat together. Eating together is considered a family standard to maintain the relationship. Now that my sister is at university in Ottawa, I don’t get to see her as much as I used to; and because some of my weekends are also occupied by school homework and math classes, I don’t get to spend time with her when she visits on the weekends. Overall, during the 5-day week, I don’t spend as much time as I would like to with my family. 2) As a…

In-between work and my busy personal schedule tending to my exotic animal farm in my hometown Austin, Texas. I found the time to take a road trip up to Myrtle beach, South Carolina to do some scuba diving and capture pictures of barracudas, manta and sting rays, as well as the bounty of coral reefs for my school project. With my Advanced Open Water Diving license not only am i able to dive by myself but i can enter protected zones in the deep sea diving zones of Myrtle beach. There is over 10…

My church has many opportunities to get involved, while looking at theses opportunities I chose the ones that fit myself best. These consist of being a youth worker in the nursery and participating in teaching sunday school during church services. If I could change anything it would be to volunteer more in the kitchen and in the summer programs. This would let me fellowship and grow with other believers. This summer I worked as a youth worker for a concert where I helped prepare food and brought…

drive (just the three of us) and beach escapade. The best part is, it was well an unplanned trip. January was supposed to be a month for our barkada (college friends) outing. Our personal belongings were all packed for an overnight trip but something came it didn't push through. But since it's too late to cancel my leave and with the expecting daughter (the one who were super excited about the supposed trip) my husband suggested that we go on with our beach…

bewildering to think that my time as an undergraduate is coming to a close; compiling all the tremendous things I have accomplished, it is almost impossible to relate the experience to anything but a rollercoaster with its breathtaking highs and terrifying lows. During the ride, I have spent a great deal of my time striving to not only better myself but also the lives of others I was blessed enough to meet. I have felt on top of the world through experiences, including a mission trip to…

wrong choices each day, so I believe in becoming a positive leader. The week of June 20th-26th 2016, life hit me square in the face, when I attended the FFA WLC (Washington Leadership Conference) in Washington D.C. This has become one of the most memorable, life changing experiences, through the things I not only herd about, but seen personally. I made a bunch of new friends around the country that all share a hobby in not only agriculture, but leadership. During the five-day event, members…

stories from all my friends about their experiences and how the trips not only changed their lives but also changed their outlook on how different cultures live. A bunch of us decided that it would be a lot more fun if we went as a group as we would not only have more fun, but also come closer together as a team. We decided on the 3-week Strasbourg/Paris trip and the rest was history. In this paper I will highlight some of my most memorable experiences, as well as how the trip changed my views…

Blinking a few times to really make sure my watch was correct, I rolled over onto my back and stared up at the bunk above me. Not expecting it to make too much of a difference, I didn’t turn on my miniature battery-operated fan the night before, so I woke up sweaty and miserable. Apparently, the Honduran heat began just as early as the sunrise, which just happened to be around 5 a.m. every day. It may have been the sixth day of an eleven day mission trip, but new jobs and long hours each day led…
