In “Its Portion Distortion That Makes America Fat” by Brownlee, she claims that fast food companies and the portions they provide are the real reason that America has seen such a big increase in obesity. I agree that fast food companies are to blame for the rise in obesity and they should begin to take more responsibility for the affect they have had on America.

The trip I researched was the hunting trip to South Dakota. I want to go to South Dakota because there are a lot of ducks in South Dakota. I know a few people that live in South Dakota and they shoot a lot of ducks. I would probably only take one person and that one person would be my dad. The reason I would take my dad is because he was the person that got me interested in hunting.
This would be my fourth time visiting Mexico. Crossing the border is the most nerve racking thing that you could do and I know from experience how dangerous it can be driving to your destination. It was the December the week before finals and my parents had planned on taking a trip to

Going to Puerto Rico would be the opportunity of a lifetime! This would be a great learning experience, very exciting and adventurous, and a great way to see the world with a sense of independence. Going to Puerto Rico would be a wonderful learning experience. While in Puerto Rico the main thing I would be able to learn is their culture.

Furthermore, i love the feeling I get when I explore new ideas, histories, beliefs, and scenarios. It not only increases my knowledge, but also helps me overcome problems that I am dealing with. I get to experience life’s problems, pleasures, and I come out of my personal bubble to become a better person by exploring new cultures. Travelling is my passion because it’s something that I am not afraid to chase after. I get to learn more and more about myself and I am able to expand my horizons every time I travel.
