The morning was crazy almost being late to school and missed the bus for the 8th grade overnight trip.The bus was late by 15 minutes and it felt like an eternity. I was rushing like crazy because the bus came late and I had to wake up super early because i had to get to school at 8:00am. The bus ride to Indian Head Camp took like 2 hours. The bus ride wasn’t bad because I sat with my best friends and we ate snacks that we brought the day before. When we got to the camp it was bigger than we thought at first it looks really boring. When I got off the bus there was tons of trees surrounding us. Me and my friends were not amused by what we were seeing because it was only a big cabin when we got there We couldn’t even go into our cabins at first. We had to play a games and get our bags. Me and my friends got placed into the same cabin room so it was going to be really fun. We all got split up into our advisory groups. If I was being honest I don’t really get along with the people in my advisory. We …show more content…
I was the second person attempt the catwalk challenge. I allowed the girl Amanda to go in front of me to see what it is like. Even Amanda took the risk and she was afraid of heights.I went second, climbing up that tree felt like I was letting go of my fears and I was trying something new. After I was up on the tree I let go of my fear and I put my feet in the wire and my hand on the rope. I walked 3 steps and I was about to fall, I would look like a loser if I just give up when I am not even in the middle of the walk yet. People that was on the ground was motivating me to keep going. I was in a bad position because the instructor told me to lean forward but I was leaning backwards. There was no way I could lean forward because being in that position was like doing push ups. I have noodle arms and I would fall if I leaned

    Most teenagers would probably tell you that the beginning of their adulthood was marked by having to do laundry for the first time, or being able to drive alone, or perhaps no longer sitting at the children's table at family events. But for me, it happened this past summer, when I made the very difficult decision that I would not return to Coleman Country Day Camp. To those who were not fortunate enough to have grown up at summer camp, this might not seem like such a big decision to make. But Coleman was my outlet, my second home for ten consecutive summers and spending those two months anywhere else seemed inconceivable to me.…

    I was all packed and ready to set off on my 10 day adventure to H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation but all that's in my way is about 12 hours and 9 of them I’m going restless because I’m so excited and I keep my dad up by asking him questions but when I have an important one he’s gone “MOM wheres Dad.” I said “he’s seeing his mom,” with a couple of tears running down her face “ It will probably going to be the last time he sees her” and I remember that she is in the hospital. It has been about 5 ½ months since she has been diagnosed with glioblastoma.…

    In my understanding, that was my command to do. Give selfish treatment to one man but give all credible treatment to the other, who in all shed the same blood fighting. I became deeply distraught by this segregated treatment because of some set value one man has to have just by the color of his skin. In disgust, I still had to do what was meant for me to do. I would work on the black soldiers and a woman named Clara Barton would work on the white soldiers. I grew interest into wanting to know how she felt about this unfair situation, however it was prohibited to step near her or inside the white soldier’s tent.…

    I just got done with my shift to protect Camp Half-Blood feeling very tired and stressed. With the camp’s protection being down and most of the campers going back to their families for the summer, this meant that there were very few of us to guard our safe haven. Not to mention I was still recovering from my broken ankle. I decided to take a walk down to the beach near the camp. Lately, I’ve found the sound of crashing waves, wind brushing through my hair, and the slight smell of salt hitting my face very soothing ever since I had met my best friend, Percy Jackson.…

    Since this was not my first time taking your class I was no stranger to the game. But this time it was a little different. The last game we had to pass laws to prevent the colonist from taking control over the colonies from the British. But this time around we had to decide on what we wanted to put attention to first. The labor or women’s suffrage and had to debate which side was the better task.…

    My vision started to fail on mile four of the six-mile hike. Small white specks flickered across my field of vision. The next thing to go was my hearing, followed by my ability to walk in a straight line. My platoon sergeant saw the signs of heat stroke and forced me to stop. I should have stopped myself, but all I could think was: you will finish this, or you will die trying.…

    One skill I had been struggling on for what seemed like an eternity, was my standing back tuck. For level five, I not only needed that skill but also needed to be able to connect it with a toe touch. This skill haunted me for years, becoming more of a mental obstacle than a physical one. I knew this was the skill that would skyrocket my chances. The day my standing back tuck clicked, my self-esteem blossomed and all my other skills started falling into place.…

    Thanks the Texas Exes alumni, I was able to go to Camp Texas for free this year. At first I thought that it was like any normal 3- day camping trip, which made me extremely excited since I enjoy camping very much. Once I got there, I realized that it was a different type of camp. I was nervous and scared because I’m not very good at socializing. The reason I’m writing this is because I learned so much about being open minded, accepting, and kind to other people and new experiences.…
