nasoni jouney

I was born in San Mateo. i had three baby sitters all family members they all were like in there thirty's. my mom said that we were in the earthquake well we weren't there during the earthquake but we were close to it. after that we left to Hawaii.

We went to the beach almost every day we don't go when its raining. I loved Hawaii we lived there for about three years we have a lot of family members that lives there. after that we went to visit Tonga we stayed there for three months or 2 but we had a good time there.

then we moved all the way down here in the biggest little city in the world. i haven't move that far away. every thing happened here. people die i learned to move on in my life.
The best trip i ever went on was when i went to Las Vegas. I went during spring break. we stayed for exactly a week. On our way there, we saw so many palm trees! It took us a couple hours to get there but it was worth it.Once we got there it was such a relief to be able to get out of the car and walk around.

While we were there, we stayed at a hotel called world-mark by Wyndham. It was one of the nice ones too. While we were there we stayed on the top floor with a perfect view of the strip, lazy river, jacuzzi and a heat pool. After we settled town with all our thing at the hotel, we went straight for the pool. The next day we walked down the whole entire strip. We saw the shows at Cesars Palace, treasure island, mirage,bellagio. My favorite one was the water show at the bellagio.

On the way back home was the worst. We had so much fun in Las vegas that none of us wanted to leave. It was also very humid outside so the car got really hot. But i was happy to be at home. Home sweet home.:D

my Journey

The journey i remember the most is when i left California.We came from East L.A to Reno Nevada.It was the worst we left because my mom didn't want me to become a gang banger.So we left we packed that night she told us and we left the next morning.As we leave i say goodbye to all my friends and get in the car.Crying my life out looking back at the place i loved the town i loved.
When we got to Reno i didn't like it the air was differnt everything was differnt.Everything made me mad.I hated it with a passion. When we went outside to play everyone would look at us like of we were aliens.But after two or three days we made a lot of friends.To me it still wasn't the same but i had to be there.
After seven years i still don't like it here.But i hope in three years i will be back to my home town were everything is perfect to me.

karina perez- my journey

The journey I remember the most was when i went to Mexico for summer break. My mom asked my sister and me if we wanted to go to Mexico with my cousin, i hadnt been to Mexico since i was 2 so i really wanted to go. about a week later we packed our baggs and we left. I was both sad and excited because i wanted to be there already but i didnt want to leave my mom, dad, and especially my little brother.
I got to Mexico and the first people I saw was my tall grandpa and short grandma. I was so tiered, my legs hurt, and my hair looked horrible. When i got to my grandparents' house i met some cousins that i didnt even know i had. I met my cousin Cynthia for the first time and at first i didnt like her but she turned out to be a cool mentor. I had a lot of fun with her and we were together all the time. Even though i was having fun in Mexico i awanted to go home and see my little brother.
I came back to Nevada a week before i started 7th grade. I was happy to be home but at the same time I wanted to go back to Mexico. I felt different at my house, and my little brother didnt look the same to me he looked taller and older even though it had only been two months. It was kind of wierd hearing everyone speak English because for two months straight all i herd was Spanish. going to mexico made me see how different things are here, i noticed that we have a lot more and i apretiate it more now.

my journey to Las Vegas shaina carthen

The most memorable trip i went on is when i went to Las Vegas and i thought it would never end. It was fun at the same time horrible. My mother woke me up early in the morning. Then we headed on the road with we needed plus food so we didn't have to stop. Then as we left i realized that i had just forgot my friends birthday an my aunts dog. So then we had to go back & get the dog & then i text my friend to say happy birthday. As we got farther away from Reno i started to lose signals. I lasted the whole two weeks with out my cell phone. When we got there my sisters started to argue an that's when it got bad. It felt like it would never end. We ate food and then went to the hotel to rest.
Then went to the track meet & after that we went to the go carts to have fun. after that we went to go get pizza &went back to the hotel to hang out. Then in the morning we went to McDonald's & ate breakfast. And after that we went swimming. After we got done swimming we got our stuff piled in the car and left to go to our cousins house &we spent the rest of the two weeks having the best time ever then we drove home.

Alexis Vazquez My Journey

Separation is that I've my whole life have had to moved alot . Like state to state or to a other country and I've live in Chicago Illinois and California since i was barely a bady and. But then i move to here Reno, Nevada and i was about 9 years old when i came here.And then i had to stare school right away so when i stared that school and stared to make new friends and to know everyone at the school.And people in public like other friends and some family or people who i know since were kids and went to school together and live right a cross from each other.And then i had to move again and stare fresh and go to a new school and make new freiends and get to now the place i am go to live in.And to me it is really hard because leaving the people who i know that are my friends and family.So thats why i really hate the word move and moving because i don't like to move.I would just like to live where i am until i died of old age.

my tripp

antonio rojas and my journey

I went on a journey to California. My parents told my sisters and I to pack our stuff because we were going to go California so then we packed our stuff and then we passed by my aunt's house because they were coming with us.
As we were on our way to "cali" i was really exited to see my cousins because i hadn't seen them in a long time. but when we got there my aunt had moved houses and we didn't know there phone number so we just went with our other family.
Then when we got to my uncle's house we spend some time with him. And we asked him about my aunt and he gave us her number so then we went with her and spent some time with her. As we were coming home i learned that i should always ask if they are still in the same place or i should ask for their number

Nick Dunkle: My journey

This is my essay on my journey.In this essay I will explain my journey and the three parts of it.I hope you enjoy.
My journey was when I went to Boise, Idaho for a soccer tournament.When I left I went with a couple of my teammates.When we went we messed around the whole way.All six hours of it!
When we arrived we stayed in a really nice hotel.Free breakfast every morning and a HUGE room!In the tournament itself we did really good.We made it to the championship, but lost to Boise's state team.
We came back, taking another six hours to return to Reno.When we arrived we went to a buffet and ate everything we could and more.After the buffet we all went home.Everything went back to normal after that.We had practices five days a week and games on Thursdays again.That was one of my most memorable journeys.

Alfredo Ayala. My Journey

I was on my way to my aunt's house.My mom,dad and my little sister were also getting ready to go.I was waiting for them so we can go all together as family.
When we got there. I was greeting all of my uncles,aunts and cousins as well.My family was haveing a great time at my aunts.My mom was talking with my aunts,my dad with my uncles and I was talking with my cousins.We were all over the place and having a good time with every one else.Then my dad started telling this crazy stories that he had from when he was a little boy and they were so funny that the whole family could not stop laughing.As much as we wanted to stop we could not resist because when he was done with one of then we would tell another one he had a lot of stories up his sleeve.Then I said "I quit" and I went outside to catch my breath but I still felt a little tingle in my stomach and I wanted to laugh again.
When we came back from my aunts I learned that my mom likes to get together with my aunts and talk about knitting sweaters and that my dad likes to drink with my uncles a little bit not to much and that I like to play a computer game with my cousins that is called Halo.That is what i learned that day when I went with my family to my aunt's house.

Angelic,Tupou-My Journey

The funnest most memorible journey I have ever been to was Great America in California.I came home from school and I ran up stairs to my room to started packing my clothes,I was really happy and excited to go to Great America with my famlies.But we had to wait until 8:00 because my mom was working.So we just waited and waited.And so she came home started packing her clothes and also some snacks before we leave.Then after that we drove to Great America.



When we got there I saw alot of Disney cartoons like Lilo&Stitch,Spongebob,and etc.It was kinda like Disney land but BiGGER!When we got inside I met Spongebob,and my brother met Patrick,we took lots of pictures with them.Then after that me and my brother got bracelets to ride on the rides.So me and my brother went on the spinning swing I got really dizzy after that.Then after that my brother wanted to go on the BiG ROLLARCOASTER!I didnt wanna go on,but he was begging so we went on but we were waiting in line and I heard people screaming it got me really scared but I went anyways.



So when we got off the ride a guy gave us pictures,it was a picture of me and my brother on the ride it was really funny.We gave it to my mom and she started laughing.My mom told us that we had 2 more rides to go before we leave out to eat.So me and my brother didnt know where to go until we saw the bumper cars and we went there.It was fun because I kept bumping my him he just kept laughing he never got to bump me.But when I wasnt paying attention thats when he started bumping me I started laughing real hard.Then after that we went and looked around for the last ride to go on, this time it was the merry-go-round we wanted our mom to go on one before we leave.



Then we were done and we went out to eat at Denny's just me,my brother,and my mom.I had real fun with them ALOT OF FUNS!So we got tired and rented a Hotel for us to sleep in for a little.When we got to the Hotel we rested for a really long time it felt really good sleeping in a cozy big bed.We woke up at 7 in the morning packed our clothes and went out to eat breakfast at Mc Donolds.Then we had to hit the road because my mom was working at 4 it was only a 4 hour drive.We got home and unpacked our stuff and we went back to sleep.But first I put up the picture of me,my brother,and my mom in my room.



As you can see,this was the funnest most memorible journey I have been to.

Sosa, Janet-My Journey

One of my journey's has been when I went to California during the summer. It was the first time I went some where far away without my family. At first I didnt want to go. But then the next day I left and went to my aunts house over there. The first day i was at my aunts house I felt weird and shy. And I just wanted to go back home.

I didnt really talk when i was over there. But then I started hanging out with my cousins. And I met there friends. Then we would be outside hanging out everyday. And we would be going to parties almost every weekend. We would also be going to other places too. Like the mall and the movies and other stores. We would be going to places that I have never been to before. So I didnt feel shy anymore. And I didnt want to leave. They made me feel like if I was at home.But then it was time for me to go home.

It was my last day in California so we were all just hanging out. I was very sad because i made a lot of new friends over there and i was going to miss everybody. But at the same time I was missing my mom and my family. So I was kind of happy I was going back home. Then once I was back I wasnt shy anymore. And i started talking to more people and started going out more. So know im more outgoing.

Alex Serratos "My Journey"

One of my craziest journeys I've ever been on was the time I went to when I went to play basketball at "Pat Baker Park"and on my way home I ended up running into some trouble.
The day my journey started I was at home watching television and playing video games you know the usual things I do on a lazy Sunday. As I was enjoying my self playing Madden i received a phone call on my cell phone. when answered it i heard a familiar voice it was my friend Kenndel, and he was asking me if I wanted to go play basketball, I answered "Yes" even though I kinda didn't want to go so my journey began.
My walk there was fast because the park isn't far from my house so as I approached the park I seemed to have noticed that there were many people there, people i knew to like like my boy Tim also Anthony Tim's brother was there and their sister Kendra, Kenndel was also there and so was Jerald. As we played things were going good until Tim and Anthony got in a argument so everyone stopped playing except me and Tim and he was talking to about what i needed to do to make my shot better I always looked at Tim as my mentor, the reason for that being is because he always helped me and taught me things as will. as soon as it got dark I decided to go home or my mom would worry so I stated to walk home.
On my way home I decided to take a short cut home because I didn't want to walk a lot I took "Dirt Hill", and that's when my troubles started. as i was walking up the hill some guys jumped out and started threatning me because I was wearing red, I was nervous but I tried not to show it. they started asking me questions like "what do I bang? or "Why was I wearing red?" but I anwsered I don't bang anything so they let me go. when i continued my walk home.
When I got home I was thinking back on what just happened and I was telling myself next time I'm walking home at night make sure to take the long way and to not wear red when taking a short cut.

Branden Snoddy My Journey

Separation: My Calling was to go to Disneyland.
The Threshold I crossed was the California border.

The flight back was good.
The ride in the car was boring.

Kenndel Goins "My Journey"

One of my greatest/craziest journey was when I traveled to Las Vegas,NV.
First, it was fun out their but i didn't want to go. It was like i had to go my family was making me go.
We had went for my grandpa's funeral. It was very sad especially for me because he had died 2 weeks before my birthday. He was supposed to come to Reno for my birthday but plans had change. So we went to the funeral. It was very sad for everyone. The next couple of days I started to meet a lot of family.
After, I met a lot of family I started to hang out with a lot of my new family members that i just met for the first time. My cousins turned out to be really cool. They took me to a lot of parties. All the parties were popping. We stayed out late everyday. I met a lot of girls out their.
Last, I never thought that I would have a lot of fun in a place that i didn't want to go. Their was a sad incident that made everything bad for me but hanging with my family made everything better.

KENNDEL GOINS JOURNEY

Martinez, Jennifer-My Journey

Life is like a journey. A journey that I've been on is the time that I went to Six Flags. Me and my family members left to six flags because we wanted to go on a family vacation together. Our vacation lasted for a total of three days.
We started our journey by making sure that we all had everything we would need on the trip. Then we started the three hour drive to Valejo, California. The hotel we were staying at was only about 10 minutes away from the amusement park. Our hotel also had a swimming pool, so when we arrived at the hotel me and my cousins decided to go for a swim to help us cool off a bit. We went on the vacation in the beginning of August so the weather was still very hot outside.
Going to the amusement park was the best part of the journey, (besides spending time with my family.) I overcame one of my fears, which was going on a roller coaster. We also got to see some whales, dolphins, penguins, and other cool animals. I got to spend a lot of time with my family, and it was great because I had a great time. I also tried something new, which was going on a roller coaster.
When me and the rest of my family returned home from the trip, we were exhausted! We all came back home changed in some sort of way. Mostly all of us had tried something new or seen something new. We got a lot of pictures and souveniers from the trip. My family and me haven't been on a vacation like that since we went to Six Flags, but we're planning to go on another one soon. I'm looking forward to that vacation because I'm sure that it's going to be a lot of fun.
