Pull the Trigger to the Ending




Pull The Trigger to the Ending


I have crossed almost all parts of American history. Each travel gave me a new way of thinking or American's sense of value. I might become an American when I wake up tomorrow morning.
First, I went to The East coast with Timothy and this trip taught me the history of the United States, the American Revolution, and The Civil War. It prompted me to become interest in presidents of the United States. I really enjoyed seeing the different characteristic between George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln.  
The West coast was an entrance for me to think about other tribes, Native. Admitting another existence is to link myself to know who I am.

The trip to The southwest is one of my unforgettable memories. It was wonderful to find people, who live in adobe. They had the quintessence of virtue, which we forget in our modern life or we have destroyed in the past. We took their virtue, however we made light of the importance nowadays. Our life will be better, if we borrow their wisdom.

How about the Portland, Oregon trip? I gathered what I have learned from this trip briefly and found 5 keywords. Wisdom, Message, Expedition, Volume, and Crash.
First of all, I received two kinds of important messages from dead people at Mountain View Cemetery and The Japanese American Memorial. Both words, which engraved on stone were impressed me. They meant more than I thought. All they wanted to do was to prove . What they experienced or what the life is. Next, I realized the importance of books again when I walked in Powell's Book Store and the library at Reed College. Wisdom is necessary for us to live.
Second, I was excited about the volume of foods. Every meal that I had in Portland was delicious, so it made my weight and heart full. For example, Pizza, Tebo's Restaurant , and Uwajimaya foods. Uwajimaya not only makes me happy, but also contribute to the region of people. I was glad to know it was a part of the way of amusing people and brought us for an abundance of daily bread.
Third, I saw water hitting the earth from the top at Multnomah Falls. In addition, while I was watching the Hockey game. Both of them have a impact on me. Fresh negative ion changed my mind positive. On the other hand, the stake all men's passion was the smell of swet yet, beautiful.
Finally, the long expedition was in the end with Extension Corps of Discovery. We can make a map as Lewis and Clark did. Through the entire of travel, I began to feel some different. I want to save people, who are suffering from something, such as the volunteer of what Dr. John McLoughlin did Oregon people.
