Well, I'd like to start off by saying that I really enjoy traveling. No, I haven't actually traveled all around the world, but it kinda seems that way. I've been to a lot of places! The farthest place that I've ever been to is Puerto Rico... Although I speak Spanish fluently, my speech in Puerto Rico isn't as good as I wish it would be. Anyways, I love the hot weather, the food, and the boys! (Just kidding. Haha.) But really, my favorite thing about Puerto Rico would have to be the beaches. The water isn't dirty and murky like over here. You can see your toes through the water and the sand is thinner and lighter. The sand over here is dark, dirty, and thick. Yuck.
Another place that I've been to is Toronto, Canada. I can't really remember anything from here but I know that I've been here when I was younger. The only thing that I remember is this one haunted house place. I was dying to get in...Apparently, I was too young at the time and I would be "too scared." Oh, and I remember that there were a lot of buildings...But that's about it.
I've been to Detroit, Michigan. My aunt used to live down there. It's just like any other normal city except the mall was HUGE! One thing that bothered me about the mall was that it was separated... I don't think that the separation was supposed to affect the crowd on each side, but it did. The mall had one side for "middle-class" people and on the other side of the bridge (there was literally a bridge), all of the snooty, rich people carrying pampered puppies shopped. Oh, and another thing that made me angry in Detroit- I went to McDonalds downt there one time and I ordered a number 9. (Chicken Selects) Come to find out that their menu is different from ours. I ended up ordering a nasty burger when I had my mind set on good ole chicken.
When I was around 9-ish years old, my mom and all the rest of my family decided to move to Florida. West Palm Beach, Florida. That's where I lived. There, I remember jumping from one school to another. Of course, I started at a different learning level in each school. For the most part, I loved Florida. The malls sucked over there so luckily I wasn't old enough to be so interested in SHOPPING! I remember living in an apartment complex called Indian Trace with my 2 aunts and little cousins. We went down to the pool every Sunday. We shopped every Saturday and tanned EVERYDAY. Everything was going great until the Hurricane Wilma in 2005. We decided to move back to New York where our lives weren't in as much danger.
Oh! I've been to Chicago too! Only for a weekend though. It was GREAT! I went to a zoo there...Except I didn't really enjoy it that day. The sun was blazing and I was sweating like a pig. I know that's gross. But anyways, the zoo was pretty darn cool! I really liked the monkey's. They're really quite weird, if you ask me. However, they are adorable. Especially the baby ones. I like staying in the hotels and wandering around in that huge mall with no clue where I would end up. Half the time, we were in a hotel or in the car. I still had fun, though.
I've been to New York City, too. Although that's still apart of my state, it's still kinda far. I absolutely LOVE shopping there even if the prices are outrageous. There's always commotion and bustling going on. The buildings are HUGE and for once, I don't feel like the only short one. I like the New York accents and I like that there's always foods around every corner. Hot dogs or these little Chinese cake thingies that I tried one time.
In my 8th grade year, I took a trip to Washington, D.C with my school. It was amazing. I spent time with someone who is now my best friend (Djana Sefo) and I spent time with my boyfriend (Ray Rivera.) Although the trip was mainly to learn historical facts, I can honestly say that I learned nothing EXCEPT: I should take medicine before taking a long road trip. Other than that, the experience was great. I visited the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Washington Monument. One memory that really sticks with me to this day: Djana, Christina, and me were being loud in the hotel room. We ended up getting in trouble by our Assistant Principal (Ms.Markman) and then....This old lady came out of her room WITH security guards and started banging on our door, telling us to be quiet. Woah...Great times!
And I've been to Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Virgina. I'm just too lazy to type anything else. Oh, and I've been through All of the states on the East Coast. I don't really count those though because I haven't actually spent the night in any of those states. Anyways, I have to go and cram for my social studies test. Wish me luck!
