Why Travel Will Forever Own My Heart
Anna Evseev

I've always been drawn towards traveling because of the excitement and energy that manifests within me. Throughout my life so far I've had the privilege to visit many different countries and states in the United States. I've been to Canada, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Ukraine, Italy, and most recently I visited the Caribbean.

While in the Caribbean, I went to St. Thomas, The Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and The Dominican Republic. Each new country that I visit opens my heart and my mind to that place and makes me want to know everything about it. Traveling is something that I want to be doing until the day I die, and I know that I want to be able to visit every country in the world at least once. Each and every country has a history and an important place in the world.

It's ironic that I hate going on planes, yet I love the rush that I feel at the prospect of going somewhere new. When we get into the air for the first few seconds I feel as if I'm dreaming, it's a truly amazing feeling. The fact that through planes we're able to fly anywhere in the world is a great feeling. In my life, I don't always want to be stagnant and in one place, I want to be exploring... Discovering... Looking through the lens of a whole new world.

Whenever I go to a new place, I always want to try the cities' ethnic foods, see the sites, buy a snow globe, and to be able to walk around the cities that aren't as touristy.

During my most recent vacation, I got to do new things and learned a lot about myself. I went Snorkeling and saw beautiful fish in St. Thomas, saw alligators and crocodiles in Florida, went to Universal Studios in Orlando, went to a Rainforest in Puerto Rico, and many different beaches along the way.

A couple of things I discovered about myself are I love the thrill of adventure and I'm totally okay with not sleeping that much in order to see all that I can possibly see. I practically slept about 4-5 hours every night while on my trip, but I have absolutely no regrets. I had the most amazing time of my life. I know that I am someone who loves traveling and will never lose that energetic fire within me, pushing me to go here, there, and everywhere.

Who knows where my next adventure will be, but I know wherever it'll be... It'll be amazing!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
