My "Adventure of A Lifetime": "Pura Vida, Costa Rica!"
My "Adventure of A Lifetime": "Pura Vida, Costa Rica!"
of a Lifetime
A brief trip from my past to my (possible) future.
Ken Tucky
Thus, the jersey represents a large part of my ethnicity, for I am also Costarrican. It speaks out about
my cultural background, it reminds me where my mom came from, and it brings me memories of my
uncle and my brother in Costa Rica. Whenever I put the shirt on, the maraschino red and azure blue
always bring this sense of pride, conveying my joy of being Costarrican.
If youre going to San Francisco,
be sure to wear some flowers in
your hair. - Scott McKenzie
In the future, I see myself travelling to various parts of the globe as a news reporter, covering stories
that must be told and telling truths that must be heard. I see myself in Europe watching many soccer
games amongst the lively crowd, whether its watching Manchester United create history at Old
Traord and chanting along with the crowd Spirit in the Sky, bouncing with the German fans at Signal
Iduna Park during a Borussia Dortmund game, or going to Vienna, Austria, to see The Derby of Love
and experiencing a family feeling between the fanbases of Wiener Sportklub and First Vienna. I see
myself living in a comfortable and beautiful house in a calm, friendly neighborhood with two manx cats
walking past my desk as I finish an article or a drawing. I see myself having (at least) bachelors degrees
in the English Language Arts and mathematics hanging proudly on a wall outshining everything else
like glistening diamonds in a pile of golden doubloons. Most importantly, I see myself together with my
parents, feeling the warmth of their kind smiles and knowing that I had made them proud in
accomplishing all of my dreams and goals; whatever happens in the future, what Im most confident of is
that my parents and I will always be together, whether physically or spiritually.
