Describe how you planned a father and son high school senior trip
My son and I, embarked on a biking trip from San Francisco to LA right before my son's college applications and essays were due. To start our journey, we rented a truck and transported our bikes from LA to San Francisco. We returned the truck in San Francisco and started our journet on our bikes. Our trip took eight days and was full of adventure and unexpected twists and turns. We had to stay in motels and camp sites along the way and endure biking many uphill miles. Our meals tasted the best after a lenghty daily travel, and the most enjoyable was the deep conversations we had without interruption of phone or social media. I shared my never spoken before youth experiences growing up in Iran. He seemed delighted to be hearing my experience and taking a mental note every step of the way.
Upon reflecting on our trip, we encountered numerous challenges. We lost our way for several miles, and to compound our predicament, our bikes broke down along the way. In addition, we were cited by the police for riding our bikes on the freeway and physically assaulted. Despite all these setbacks, we pushed ourselves to ride up to 80 miles each day.
Even to this day, my son frequently recalls our trip and how it brought us closer together. He also acknowledges the spiritual growth that we experienced as a result of the journey.
He was accpeted as the only two students to Berkely and many months later I asked him what set him apart from all A's students which he then responded my colledge essay and our SF biking trip.
Descreva como planeou uma viagem de pai e filho no último ano do liceu.
O meu filho e eu, embarcamos em uma viagem de bicicleta de São Francisco para Los Angeles, pouco antes de o meu filho ter de fazer os seus pedidos e ensaios na faculdade. Para começar a viagem, alugamos um caminhão e transportamos as nossas bicicletas de Los Angeles para São Francisco. Regressamos ao caminhão em São Francisco e começamos a viagem em nossas bicicletas. A viagem durou oito dias e foi cheia de aventuras e reviravoltas inesperadas. Tivemos que ficar em motéis e acampamentos ao longo do caminho e suportar muitas milhas de subida. As nossas refeições eram as melhores depois de uma longa viagem diária, e o mais agradável eram as conversas profundas que tínhamos sem interrupção de telefone ou de redes sociais.
