Santa Cruz

sunny Saturday morning in JUne my family and I went on an amazing vacation, in Santa Cruz, California. It all started one day when my mom announced to the whole family that we were gonna go on a fun vacation for 2 days. That's when my brother and I decided that a trip to Santa Cruz was the best option. SO we begged and begged and begged until our mom and dad finally gave in and agreed to take us there. So after packing our bags, booking a house to stay in, grabbing all of our beach essentials, and waiting another boring day, we were off on a vacation never to forget. We all raced in the car, and drove as fast as we could to the warm beautiful city of Santa Cruz, California. Now the only thing we had to beat was traffic.…

After a long day of playing and getting soaked in the salty and playful water, the three headed…

color view the world. This class made me more analytical and critical about certain things. It has definitely made me view the United States in a whole new perspective. I truly felt that this has made me grow as an individual because it solved most of the missing puzzles that did not made sense while growing up. College has been an eye-opening experience for me. I met a lot of great people, sacrificed many weekends to study, gained a few pounds, shed a tear or two because of stress, forgot the…

Touching a piece of history can be compelling, especially when combined with an equally compelling setting far from the madding crowd. Santa Cruz (sacred or holy cross) Cemetery offers an intriguing window into Gold Country’s legendary past and a pastoral foothill landscape reminiscent of early California before the world rushed in. At the entrance an interesting stone monument placed by E Clampus Vitus reveals a brief history of the place, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. It is immensely…

Parents struggle to find a place that everyone in the family would enjoy. Quality time with the family is very important but difficult to execute. The place that everyone would appreciate is the beach. Specifically, Santa Cruz Beach because of all of the accommodations offered. Every fun memory that I have developed there is unforgettable. For example, the laughs formed over playing football with my family at the beach last summer is one of my favorite. Whether it’s the ocean or the bonfires,…

The Battle of Santa Cruz Islands started on October 26, 1942. The Battle of Santa Cruz Islands took place in between the American and the Japanese. The United States military planners were determined to keep the supply lines open with Australia; at the same time the Japanese were just as determined to cut them. In late October, the Japanese decide to launch a major offensive. Their goal was to gain control of Henderson Airfield on Guadalcanal, eliminate the 10,000 American troops on the island…

The Homeless community of Santa Cruz is lacking in needed resources that would help people escape the pipeline of homelessness. Dominant discourse stereotypes homeless people as people unable to succeed in society without acknowledging the social inequalities and systematic oppressions they face (e.g. laws that target homeless people such as the Santa Cruz camping ban). To address this situation, I propose a coalition of homeless services providers in Santa Cruz that will make a wide variety of…
