There was even a zip line that can go 60 mph if you pull your knees to your chest. It was thrilling, the adrenaline rush pumping throughout your body, when going through the air and trees at 60 mph! When on the zipline sometimes I would take a minute to admire the beauty the nature around me. The little streams, the fall leaves some on the ground, some bright red and orange leaves still on the trees.

    Every Life Matters I really only started understanding the meaning of abortion once one of my mom’s friends had one. Before that I had very little knowledge about abortion. My parents have always taught me to stand by what I believe and that others may have different beliefs.

Being told that, they told me to always respect people’s beliefs and their points of view because everyone has the right to stand by what they believe, just like I do.…
