A day that meant a lot to me was when I went to my home town Florida.
I live in Texas basically my whole life, so I considered myself a Texan all the way. I honestly feel like I have more love for Texas than Florida.
Florida was just my birthplace but never the place to live and grow up in because if it was, my mom would have never left Florida with me and my brother being just babies. My mom always tells me why she decided to come to Texas and leave Florida and the reason always has been that life in Florida is very expensive. But each time my mom told me that, I told her and myself “I'm gonna live there”. Is just my natural attribute I don't let nothing bring me down or negativity get to me. I'm the type of person that when I see something is very hard for a person or they make it seem like is almost impossible, those are the things I pursue, best believe I'm gonna get it done.
A day in Florida was a great experience because I was able to see the beach while flying and that blue beach actually mesmerized me. I've never seen blue colored water because in Texas most of the beaches are brown, so just by looking at the water I knew that this trip was gonna be a great experience for me, not only that but it motivates me the thought of having a house in a state like Florida. When we arrived at the Miami International airport me and mom decided to go visit some family members. So I order a uber, just by standing outside I was able to feel the heat waves of florida. But if i'm being completely honest I prefer the weather from Florida than Houston because in Florida is just hot but their are breezes that constantly pass through your presence. But in Texas the weather is very bipolar because we are in November and around this time we use to have cold weather but it seems that the only thing getting colder is my house because outside stays being hot, but not a regular type of hot because it gets humid and that causes the heat to hit different.
As soon as we got to my uncle's house we was being expected with a table full of Hondurian food so just that by itself was pretty amazing. I was able to meet a part of my family that I didn't meet before and that was special for me and my mom because she had years without seeing his older brother.
In the story named A Trip I Wish Never Ended by Emanuel Martinez the main message was don't limit your dreams and goals and something that makes my essay realistic and a clear image in the mind is when I talked about the ocean in Texas to the Ocean of Florida and I said ¨that blue beach actually mesmerized me. I've never seen blue colored water because in Texas most of the beaches are brown¨.
I organized my piece by breaking every single paragraph with a different main idea because if you read each paragraph is based in something different for example I started by saying ¨I live in Texas basically my whole life, so I considered myself a Texan all the way. I honestly feel like I have more love for Texas than Florida.¨and it ended by me saying ¨ I was able to meet a part of my family that I didn't meet before and that was special for me and my mom because she had years without seeing his older brother¨ and my first impression of my uncle.
A word that means a lot in the seens of my whole trip was the word mesmerize because it just showed my impression of Florida and how interesting of a place it is because I also say ¨A day in Florida was a great experience because I was able to see the beach while flying and that blue beach actually mesmerized me. I've never seen blue colored water because in Texas most of the beaches are brown, so just by looking at the water I knew that this trip was gonna be a great experience for me¨. Another Phrase that I think is very important in my essay is when I talk about how my mom tells me the reason why we moved from Florida but I always respond with determination and faith to where I see myself because I say ¨But each time my mom told me that, I told her and myself “I'm gonna live there”. Is just my natural attribute I don't let nothing bring me down or negativity get to me¨. I feel like the tone of my essay is very prosperous because I say ¨so just by looking at the water I knew that this trip was gonna be a great experience for me, not only that but it motivates me the thought of having a house in a state like Florida¨.
The purpose for me writing this essay was to influence teenagers like myself to pursue what they actually love to do and to not limit themselves because how I said ¨ Is just my natural attribute I don't let nothing bring me down or negativity get to me. I'm the type of person that when I see something is very hard for a person or they make it seem like is almost impossible, those are the things I pursue, best believe I'm gonna get it done.¨
