Reflective Essay
This past summer -- 2016 – was beautiful, amazing, fantastic, and I completely loved every second of it. I say this because I did a lot of things in this long vacation like, buy shoes and wallets. Speaking of shoes, I wore yellow Adidas originals when I rode the airplane to do a parachuting activity. Meaning I jumped off a plane, which was really scary.

At first I was thankful to be back on the ground, then I was gutted it was over.
After this amazing experience, I realized that life is short and I always have to face my fear. Facing my fear made me feel happy and I was proud of doing it. I was proud because I was brave enough to do
