cruise to the Bahamas. We stayed in Florida for a day and then got onto the ship for a week long cruise. We went to two Bahamian islands called Nassau and Cococay. Then we went to Key West Florida.

Narrative During the summer of 2016, my trip to Pemba, Mozambique in Africa changed my life drastically. Not only changed my life because I was on a mission trip, but changed my life looking at through the eyes of race. While I was there I would listen to great speakers, go on outreaches to other villages, pray for people, hangout with other missionaries, and hangout with the kids on the base and just have a good time. While the time hanging out with the native kids there on the base, I would get

It's a way to legally separate criminals isolating them altogether far away from society in order to punish of their cruel behaviors. As we all know, the prison environment can affect the beliefs, attitude and behaviors of inmates and correctional officers the longer the stay. Ted Conover an American author and journalist, decides

One thing that I really want to do is go on a mission trip. My sister went on a mission trip and loved it so much that now it has inspired me to do one too!

I really want to do it soon so we might find a small one in the US to do this or next summer

A Trip to Lake Michigan This year my family and some friends decided to do something different than our traditional beach vacation. We didn’t want to make the long trip down to Florida to go to the beach for a few days and then have to make the 2-day journey home. So what did we do? We decided to try out the northern beaches of the United States. Moratorium week, just after the fourth of July holiday, was really the only time that the families could get away without having a basketball practice

Andros was truly a unique experience on the trip. The scenery was fascinating, as was

Saturday morning, awake at 5:30. Packed bag ready to go. Elevation: 1,207. I’ve been waiting for this trip with my scouting group for over a month now, planning meals, setting up tenting arrangements, and gathering supplies. San Jacinto peak, one of four Saint mountains in California with an elevation of over 10,000 feet. I arrive at the camp ranger station listening to the long and required safety lecture: stay on the trail, watch out for endemic wildlife, leave no trace, etc… As my foot hit the

people experience these events that cause a dramatic switch in the path of their life. I had one of these life changing events at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on a trip to Washington D.C. when I was in 6th grade. It was a crisp spring day in our nation’s capital. There was a slight breeze, just enough to tousle one’s hair. On our trip we were not lucky enough to catch the beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom, as we were about 2 weeks late. The nation’s capital is a place rich with history; you

The past four years of my life hold both my highest of highs and my lowest of lows. High school can be a very awkward time period in a person’s life. Four years ago, I made the intimidating switch from St. Mary’s School to Algoma High School. There were certain aspects of high school which made me nervous, but academics was not one of them. I learned how to be a responsible student in my earlier years, and school had always come relatively easy to me. As high school went on, the workload grew, but

The poem “My Father, In Heaven, Is Reading Aloud,” written by Li-Young Lee in 1990, has a serious and consistent religious undertone as it chronologically describes the life of the poet growing older alongside his father until his eventual death. Countless possible understandings, expectations, and theories about this poem exist, particularly due to the poem’s tendency to leave the reader with vague qualities. Due to evidence both throughout the poem and the author’s life, the speaker of this poem

Throughout my life I have done many amazing things. When asked to my “best moment” was, I didn’t have to think long before I came up with my trip on the Teton Wagon Train in Wyoming. The trip was simply amazing, we spent a whole week outside in the mountains. During this trip I rode a horse for the first time. This was, by far my favorite part of the whole trip. The wagon train was one of the best things I have ever done. I loved it for many reasons. We were outside in the mountains for a whole week

We finally made it, the day has come when we arrived at Piermont New Hampshire. Our week long vacation in July has just begun! Even though it was a long two hour drive from Ludlow, it was worth the wait. The jeep wrangler, black in color had pulled up into the driveway. Its boxy structure covered with bug splatters on the windshield from the long ride up. It came to a stop, dad had turned off the engine and at the same time the both of us had let out a deep sigh. Feeling relaxation taking over our

Colorado Brotherly Bash It was a nice, warm July morning in Shawnee, Kansas when the Turpin and Burner families started their trip to Colorado. After a long stressful night of packing and getting ready for a six-hour long car ride the journey began. There was not much need for entertainment since everyone was so tired from the long night of suffering and misery. My brother and I started fighting even in the car ride to Colorado because we just couldn 't wait that long without engaging in some

Summer is a vast period of time in which days can become monotonous if the day have no activities to fill them. Plagued with the problem most students face during the middle of their summer, we set off on an adventure to capture pictures at some of Houston's famous graffiti walls. We decided it would be fun to go into town, but we had no idea where exactly we wanted to go.
