Spring Break

         That was my first spring break in America. Therefore, I had planned with my family already where and how we spend it. Fortunately, my daughter's vacation coincided with our vacation.This helped us easily to choose the appropriate place to relax and enjoy. We decided to go to the charming city which San Francisco.
        Our journey began on Friday afternoon by car. The road to San Francisco was quite interesting. We saw many of the farms along the way. Additionally, cows, sheep and horses spread everywhere, and many of wind turbine that on the top of the mountains green. When we arrived there, we went directly to the hotel.
       On Saturday morning, we started to explore the beautiful city and seeing Golden Gate Bridge. Although, the rain didn't stop throughout that day and clouds filled the sky and covered the bridge, yet we were happy and enjoying by the atmosphere. We crossed the bridge to Sausalito. The houses were amazing there. Also, we went to Fisherman's Wharf. It was crowded and lively. Then we went by boat around the bridge and Alcatraz Island which was scary for me. I was introduced to the island's history and I saw prisons and pictures of criminals.
         I went to China Town, Golden Gate Park that was extremely large and there was Japanese Tea Garden. Jasmine tea was a great experience for us there. Also, we saw sea lions in Pier 39 and Lombard Street which unique in its design, and it was so crowded with people and cars. A lot of people stop their cars and preferred to walk and take pictures. I will never forget Union Square, which was a favorite place for me at all.
       Ultimately, trip ended and there are some places I couldn't had. However, we spent a great five days there and we took many of pictures. It is a fascinating city will always remain in the memory.

         From the est of the world in nineteenth century , there was a woman who is called Niara. She born in a small village and her family was so poor. After many years, her parents were died when she was 16 years old. She become lonely and wasn't had enough money to survive. Then, she decided to travel to another place for looking for a job which help her to complete her life.

        On other side, there was a big village governed by a rich man. He had heavenly castle and many of farms, cows and sheep. Because of these things, he was need more and more people to work in his property. Fortunately, Niara arrived to this village. She saw sets of women take a break near from the farm. She asked them if she can found a job and they recognized her that she was come from a far region. quickly, one of them invited her to shared with them their food. Niara was so happy and she knew that she was arrived to the appropriate place.

        She work at the big castle and her life improved day by day. After a few years, she married and she has tow boys and one daughter. In 1998, when she was 59 years old, her daughter participated in championship for dolphins shows. Niara was there and she was so grateful for the struggle story which brought for her great children.

When I was child, I was very very a rowdy and stubborn girl. That what my mother and my grandmother told me always. they seem to had suffered from my behavior. Actually, I'm usually laughing when they told me a lot of bad and funny stories about me.
One of my humorous story, when I was five years old. One day while my mother busy in the kitchen and prepare our dinner, I entered her room and closed the door. In that moment, curious child appeared who was me. I took scissors and looked at the mirror. I said : yaaah I need to have a beautiful hair like my friend Sara then I cut completely my hair from the front. when I come out, all my family were there. My mother was very shocked but my father and my brothers were laughing out loud. That was so embarrassing. It took two months to grown again and I was wearing hat throughout this days.
In spite my mother didn't punish me, I think the result of my mistake was enough to learn me the true behavior.
