In my entire life i have never been to an island. It all began on september 1st 2017. The day my family and i ventured into an exquisite place, Nassau bahamas. The place that brings families together.
The journey began on a friday september 22nd 2017. My mother,sister,niece and I were packing our suitcases,and getting ready to leave for Statesboro georgia.

We couldn't instantly go to our rooms as soon as we got there,because they were making sure everything was straight for us. So we just sat down and ate some of the seafood,while waiting for the rest of the family to board the boat. Soon the sun began to set and everyone began to settle down in their rooms.About an hour after we got settled,I went to go get my cousins so we could go swimming before we have our meet and greet with the whole family. We made it to the pool but the exact moment we were about to step foot in the pool the ship alarms went off,luckily it was just a drill. After the thirty minute drill,we finally made it inside the pool. The pool was clear, salty, and packed to the max with little kids.My cousins and I probably stayed in the pool for five minutes, before we went to the jacuzzi. An hour later it was time for the meet and greet.We all got dressed and headed to the foya.

    The trip to a camping site in the middle of a Pennsylvania forest- a trip I would never forget- lead me to the discovery of myself and my transition into adulthood. This trip was through the summer camp I have attended for now eleven years; Liberty Lake Day Camp located in Columbus, New Jersey, is my second home. I grew up in this camp, and when I finally reached the age to become a L.I.T, a leader in training, I was eager to undergo the program with my friends I always attended camp with.

    So we get all suited up and everyone is ready to jump in the water, its not as clear as they would like you to imagine but its defiantly better than anything I have seen. So we jump in and I’m looking at all the fish and the plants below me, I am wearing a life jacket of course, and I think this isn’t so bad it might make the trip worth it. It was breathtaking to see all the fish so close you could almost touch them and all the different colors. Then I gulp down some seawater and panic and my fiancée calms me down, cause I was ready to go back into the boat after that. We got to see some celebrity houses it was really cool once I found that I had just relaxed and calmed down that I was actually having fun .…
