When I was old enough I got to go with him on the five day trip. The trip was to start on July 19 and in the weeks before the trip I was indubitably full of excitement. The day of the trip we left around 8:00am and started the hour and half drive to the cabin. In the car my dad told me about his friends and what they did together in and before college, the trip flew by and we had made it to Gruene.

After going on my first trip, I had bonded with others and had made me realize what the real world is like outside a small town in Iowa.…

All throughout high school, I’ve run track, and for two years I ran cross-country, both are great sports. The two years I ran cross-country made me wish I ran all four years. If you’re part of more than one sport, it’s natural to choose a favorite.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

    The Plane Ride When I was nine my family started a move from the tranquil suburbs of San Jose, California to the desert city of Windhoek, Namibia, located in southern Africa. My parents were taking myself, along with my younger sister and brother, around the globe because they felt a calling from God to be missionaries.
