This quiet and quaint town known as Mt. Holly, NJ is where I grew up. Nestled in the outskirts of New Jersey’s capitol, is known for its small town charm and historic roots. Living here was the best years of my life. I grew up in a part of town that once housed the military families from Ft. Dix and McGuire Air Force Base, which is now known as Joint Base.
I was born in Anchorage, but I’ve made several ventures to other places in Alaska. They are as follows: Seward- I’ve been here mostly for the Seward Sealife Center, both on school field trips and for my sister’s ninth birthday. I love the Sealife Center; any collection of people that devote their time to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of animals has an A OK in my book. The whole facility is presented as a learning experience for visitors so while you get dive bombed by puffins, you get to know more about them.
Grew up in a rural area a tiny place named Bird Cove, no roads nor electricity until in the 50th. Gasoline lamps lighted up the darkness of our homes. Wood stoves kept bodies warm during the day and at night. Kept the hungry belly filled to content because families were able to cook daily meals on the
Growing up in San Diego was fun. The beach was near my high school and it was the ultimate after school hangout. At the beach, you could enjoy the best homemade ice cream at Mootime Creamery. When my friends were hungry, we would head out to the closest taco shop. My favorite dishes are rolled and fish tacos.
For the extra credit assignment, I decided to visit Cedar Key. I chose Cedar Key because it is the closest coastal town to Gainesville. During my visit to Cedar Key, I explored the charming city center. I also visited the state park which contained a museum and the Whitman home which allowed me to learn more about the history of Cedar Key.
I will never forget that encounter the intense sun, the endless horizon, the infinite shades of blue that dissolved any boundary between sky and trees. The views were like swimming into a kaleidoscope, deceptively plain "Lake Winaukee" sign on the outside, but a show of colors on the inside, waiting to shock and, mesmerize me. Those colors! Sails on the horizon covered the lake; streaks of sunlight illuminated them, the swaying wildlife creating a dance of rhythm. Beautiful, preserved life synchronizing every movement with the camp sight creating one living entity.
Chirp! Splash! Tweet! How was I supposed to sleep with all the different noises that nature produces? Spending time in the wilderness was not something I thought possible.
As the sun breaks, the Bay Area hive awakens; and 265,000 people commute to San Francisco. My day starts at 7:35 a.m in front of the In and Out Burger in Mill Valley. There, a faded, orange CYO bus picks up a group of sleepy SI students. The tall stairs of the old bus greet me every morning as I climb them to begin my daily expedition into the city.
It all starts with the crack of a firework and the sizzle as the sparks slowly drift back to earth. In the distance you can hear the crying of little kids, terrified of the booming sounds, along with the "oohs" and "ahs" of the people in the little town enjoying the fireworks show. Proceeding the thirty minute show, families file up the beach stairs to return to the comfort of their own beds. In the morning they will participate in the yearly parade. Early in the morning children and their parents gather in the parking lot of the community house to decorate their bikes and scooters in red,white, and blue.
I have lived in East Oakland my whole life. To the majority of people, the mention of East Oakland evokes thoughts of violence, shootings, and gangs. I was one of the people who believed in these stereotypes, and for a particularly long time. I was one of the people who saw Oakland as a wasteland, a place with nothing to offer me, and a place I had nothing to offer to.
It started to all look the same after a while. The same hotel buildings over and over again. The sound of the waves like clockwork beating on the sand. My feet raced across the grainy substance below me, jumping from one sand bar to the next. The tide was out, creating little islands for the perfect chance to bound from one to another.
“My feet are cold! ,” I mumbled for second time trying to get my mom’s attention. The smell of a bonfire filled my nose as I sniffled, trying to fight the numb that came across my face. I received no reply from her though. My eyes wandered and fixed at the glow of the fire we were all standing around.
In this essay I shall briefly explain the ideas introduced by John Locke in Two Treatises of Government and explain how those fit in the liberal perception of politics. I aim to structure this essay thematically by giving each of the concepts listed below a definition and also to show how each of those support my thesis that John Locke is indeed a Liberal. I am going to focus private property and individual liberty and also acknowledge the importance Locke gives to religion and the role of God within the system he proposes and sees to be the only solution to the political unrest in England at the time. I shall conclude this essay by recognising John Locke’s importance and relevance to contemporary politics and his impact on modern liberalism.
The ocean symbolizes wilderness, paradoxicality and the shore is an epitome of calm. It is an object of profound mystery and is enriched with many symbols. It highlights nature’s paradoxical nature through ocean. It is the protagonist which shows its masculine heroism and has a direct impact on individual. At one point of time the distressed men on boat are deeply plagued by doubts and are left adrift at sea without anyone to comfort them during their bouts of fear.
