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.
Opportunity is something a person can not leave! If it is great enough, any thing is worth the risk for it. In the 1840 's the gold rush was something, it was a opportunity. Over 300,000 people were after the gold is search for a better life with riches. If I was in this time, I would have went to California because of the chance.
I was born on a Navy base in San Diego a little before two in the mourning. I am the youngest with two older sisters Shauna and Cassie. We basically lived two-thirds of our childhood on military bases stationed throughout the United States of America. My father being in the Navy meant we moved a lot I have lived in New Orleans, Pensacola, and San Diego and finally we settled in Tomball, Texas which is thirty minutes away from Houston. I went to a lot of different schools during my childhood an sometimes we would move before the year is up which made it difficult for me in school.
Coming to Cal was great for me because it was the first time I had found a real LGBTQ community. Growing up I always moved schools so most of my friendships were fleeting and upon settling for high school the Gay Straight Alliance club was extremely small so coming to Cal provided a great sense of community and belonging. The summer before my first fall semester, I took a few classes to get a feel for the campus which ended up coinciding with Obergefell v. Hodges and SF gay pride which is where I made a lot of friends. Whether it is going for drinks in the Castro, dressing up for the Folsom street fair or going to social events at Oscar Wilde, Cal has provided an amazing sense of acceptance and a safe space. During the spring semester, I preformed
In the 1986 article on “Abortion and Rights”, written by George and Sheila Grant they argue their position on abortion and the rights of the woman and the fetus. The evidence put forth by George and Sheila Grant to support their conclusion will be analyzed in this paper. The use of fallacies in the article will be examined in order to see if the evidence is indeed supportive of their claim. The presence of a false premise, the use of ad hominem arguments, appeal to pity, appeal to tradition, appropriate authority, disputable claims, slippery slope and hasty generalizations strengthen or weaken the credibility behind Grant’s arguments. This paper will analyze these fallacies and come to a conclusion of whether or not these fallacies have a weakening
Visiting to a state that I have always wanted to go is to visit Colorado with my family; therefore, it was fun while going to that place. This happened last years’ summer. There are a few things that we did in that state. So before we went to Colorado, we had to drive from one state to another. Like we first drove from Illinois, our state, to Iowa.
When I attended school here I made new friends that came from other part of Asia and Europe, I were able to learned about their cultures and why they are here in America. What do you like about California beside the diversity of the state? California is located near the ocean and is famous for the Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood and its beaches. I had been to San Francisco before, seeing the Golden Gate Bridge was the amazing part of the trip.
My first reason that I would go to Hawaii is that Hawaii looks very entertaining. This is because I can see volcanoes, jungles, and lagoons. Another activity that looks interesting is a helicopter tour over the islands. The islands are also full of sugar cane and pineapple farms.
I was blessed to have a Slavic Baptist church not far from where I live. I always wanted to give back to someone underserved of similar origin as myself. In Sacramento there is a big Slavic community, which gave some opportunities for me to serve and apply myself. I started off with the church choir. Having a good background of singing from Ukraine allowed me to move up on the list of best choir soprano voices, and later our choir director started to sit me by the newcomers to help them learn songs faster.
I have always enjoyed exploring the world, but the adventure that always sticks out the most was my cruise to the tropical paradise of Bermuda. I have cruised to the Bahamas, as well as spent countless weeks of my lifetime in the Outer Banks. The cruise to Bermuda was only my second time out of the country, leaving from Baltimore, Maryland one Friday afternoon and arriving on the shores of the tropical island on Sunday afternoon. Waking up on a Saturday in the beginning of August and being able to look out the window and seeing water for as far as you can see is a one time thing and an experience like no other. The days spent traveling the open seas, gives you the chance to live life while leaving all of your baggage back on shore.
As the sun sets on the Hollywood sign and the warmth surrounds me, I know I came to the right place. If I could visit anywhere in the world, it would be the west coast. I would visit California for the breathtaking scenery, the exhilarating activities, and the appetizing food. California offers many things to do, places to see, and plenty of food to eat.
I lay in bed waiting to be called downstairs by my parents. I was ready for the long walk to the boat to America. My siblings, without a clue, think we are going to an amusement park. I look out my window to see the vast African desert staring back at me. Oh the wonders that America must hold.
Over thanksgiving break, my friend and I decided to go visit the California Museum near downtown. After we purchased our entrance, the first thing that caught my eye was the live size bear in front of the museum. This was my first time at that specific museum so it caught my eye more than my friend. Since he has been there already, he showed me around and we went outside to see the giant Constitution Wall. The wall was also fascinating because it was huge and it had phrases from the California Constitution.
Being very fortunate to travel, my wife and I decided to traveo to Hawaii. It was our first trip to that paradisaical place. The experience was fabulous from the very beginning. We flew to the island, and before the plane could land, we were amazed at beautiful blue and clarity of the sea. As we reached towards the beach we were able to see the bottom of the ocean.
Hawaii will always have a special place in my heart not only because of the outstanding views, but because it meant something to my grandma. My grandma died September 11, 2016, her wish was that my grandpa would take my mom, brother, and I to Hawaii with him. Her wish came true this summer. My grandparents traveled to Hawaii almost every year, we heard many stories and saw a lot of pictures, but nothing compared to seeing it with your own eyes.
