I spend half of my life here and spend the other half there. The plane is going down, I’m here. Here to explore my new life in a new country called the United States, and a new language to master. It has been a long plane ride from China to America, but I’m finally here, here to stay with my parents. The plane had landed. As I stroll through the gate in search of my parents; I notice something white falling from the sky and at the same time, I felt cold. As I could remember, it was a cold winter night when I arrived, and I wasn’t prepared. For over the past eight or nine years I have lived in China, in an area where winter doesn't exist. Not long after I was born I was sent back to China where my grandparents raised me. My grandparents told me that I was sent back to China, is so that my parents can go to work, to raised me and my grandparents. In the time I was in China I had been through preschool and the first year of elementary school, and it was not long after that when my parents said I can come and live with them. Through the eight or nine years, I had only come to America …show more content…
The night was so cold that it sent a shock through my spine. The night when I arrived at the airport in New York, I knew my new life had begun. My parents knew that I might be cold, so they brought an extra jacket for me just so I wouldn’t get sick. As we were walking out of the airport I saw more and more white things falling from the sky. Those white things were everywhere. I asked my mom what these were and my mom said it was snow. I had never seen snow before or even heard about it, and my mom said snow is a very common thing that happens in the winter in America. From that point on I knew I was going to love this new home. Every flake of snow that falls from the sky is different, and I am one of those snowflakes. I came from the sky and landed in this new and exciting country--uniquely prepared for my new life, in
The night was cold and with every gust of wind someone shivered. The stars were bright enough to light up the night even without the bright full moon in the sky. I was standing in my normal spot in a short alleyway with a line of five
The once starry night now resembled a cluster of tiny white smudges engulfed by a grim lifeless mass. Just as my eyes were fully shut, I heard a distant yell, followed by a woman 's piercing shriek. My last thought, “What is happening to me.” “We need to evacuate the building.” “Wake the girl, we have to move, NOW.”
One stormy night the Ravenel Family were sitting at the dining table. Kelly, my mom, Jordan my sister, Dave my dad, and me of course. All you could hear the tree 's branches hitting the window, the wind howling to the beat of the rain. There with all that music my parents were whispering very nervously. Then suddenly, the light started flickering, the room darkened nothing was heard but the trees, the wind, and rain.
It was just another night. But it was pretty cold. I can feel the strong winds brush up against my skin. And as I looked up above me it seemed like it was about to rain pretty soon. People in these part of the city would go home early.
It all started on a fall afternoon. The wind gushed through my body sending icy chills up my back. I quickly tightened the hood of my army green jacket as I could feel my teeth chattering.
I never went down the stairs. I was sure it was just a dream. I felt my nose began to tingle due to the cold of this november night. This made me think the Lights were the warmth that I needed to have, wanting to follow the trail they made even more. I continued to follow Them deep into the woods.
but I never saw it with own eyes until I came to America. I remember my first snow, the ground was covered in white snow. It was so beautiful to watch the snowflakes fall from the sky. At first the cold weather bothered me lot but it doesn’t anymore.
The plane had fallen to pieces, and people were everywhere. I rose to my feet to find that I was standing in about five inches of snow. My neck was aching and I felt sweat dripping down my face. Which was weird to me because I was more cold than hot. When I touched it to wipe off what I thought was sweat, I came to realize it was vibrant red blood.
The first eight years of my life, I spent in India where I was born. Growing up I was constantly reminded by my parents that I needed to make them proud by getting a good job and living a good lifestyle. They told me this because they did not want to see me live a hard life like they did. When I was nine years old, I moved from India to the United States of America. The reason why I moved to America was not because I was living a bad life in India, it was so that I could have a better education and more opportunities in life.
Once, I was a little snowflake on top of a mountain. Life was good on Aspen Mountain with the exception of being trampled by skiers. Until one day when a skier wipes out on top of me. As he was falling, Me and my brothers were swept into the man's jacket. Most of my brothers tumbled out as the man stumbled for his Ski poles but I was stuck.
However, he was forced to be content at feeling tiny fractiles of cloudy ice and snow drift between his toes. The dark-colored ice was everywhere, staining the whole mountainside an intense ebony. It drifted from town to town, emerging from homes that had once stood tall and erect, but had hastily been
I used to have this grudges in my heart when everything go hard that would made me wanted to blame my parent. But I can’t because I was not raise to think that way. When I come to America, I was eleven years old and no one asked me if I wanted to come it just happen in a second. I was in a cold place with extended family that I never met before and that one person who raise me and made me feel secure was still back in the country. I had to lived months without her and next thing you know I adapted and convince myself they are doing this because the wanted the best for me.
Every one that fell from the sky had a different design on them. They were beautiful, they had never seen anything as pretty as those. They had forgotten they were cold and went knocking on every door telling everyone to come outside and see the beautiful little white things falling from the
Step by step I hear the sound of the leaves crumbling beneath my tiny little feet into hundreds of pieces. I see little kids completely oblivious to why they have been walking for so long. I smell the cold, dry winter air moving in faster and faster as the days fly by. As day falls into the blue and orange horizon, it is time we set up for an overnight stay as the constellations fill the sky. Three days have gone by
The day was just after my brother’s birthday and we had just finished celebrating his birthday. My brother was more surprised, however, by the amount of snow that covered the yards outside. We both awoke to a sight much more impressive than that of December, a white landscape obscuring everything laying on the ground, including the cars. My brother and I changed faster than firemen getting ready for a rescue, as we ran outside to see the fascinating snow that surrounded our neighborhood.
