Parsons Challenge 3


Living in Brooklyn does not give me much of a chance to see the elegance of the outdoors. There are many trees and tall buildings where I live, which makes it difficult to see anything passed the house across the street or the restaurant down the block. When I am driving a far distance, or on any highway, I always love to look out the windows. What catches my eye the most is the beauty of the sky. In the daylight it is always so sunny and bright, which makes my day turn so much better. I feel so alive when the sun is shining down on me.
When driving in the evening, I get to see the appealing sunset full with all different mixtures of colors. At night, normally I get to see the moon which tends to really amaze me. The moon is such an important part of life besides for its beauty, what interests me the most is how it can tell someone the time of month. Whether is half, full, or tiny, it is always representing something else. 
When seeing the sky look the way it does(night, day, rain or shine), it makes me think how wonderful nature can be.

I always knew since I was a little girl that I would love to travel. From family trips to sleep away camp I always yearned to discover new places and to meet new friends. My most memorable trip was to Costa Rica in 2007. I had never seen beauty like that of the RainForest. Walking through a forest with such colorful trees and exciting animals really changed my perspective on nature. I have never walked nor appreciated such an appealing path before.We also got the chance to see Volcanoes and other beautiful sights. 
Seeing all of the different types of people, got me thinking out of the box.  I got the chance to see how people make livings in such poor countries. What amazed me the most, was how happy these people are. 
From this trip, I learned how much their is in the world to see; out of New York. I always knew that I had a passion for traveling, and I finally realized why.

A word in which I can fully describe my headphones is escape. When I am feeling lousy or down I know I can count on them to help me feel better. I put on my favorite music, close my eyes and they take me away from all of my problems. From my parents divorce, the forever difficulty social scene and sibling spats, I know I can always count on them. The same music coming out of a speak does not allow me to escape the way I do when I have my headphones on. 
All in all my life is very good, but its those times that I feel like all is going wrong that I rely on my faithful headphones to provide me with the escape I need.
